Marshall's POV: "He left. He left his...team. And believe me I still know Chase, he wouldn't usually do something like that. He's the normal teamwork type of guy. But he just went...alone. And I saw the disappointed faces in all my other teammates when we figured out he did."

Rubble: "Where's Chase?"

Rubble, the youngest, was the last one to know though. He just woke up from a small nap and was curious of the sudden disappearance of the police dog.

Rocky: "Chase left. Like he said he would." He informed Rubble, a little sadly.

Rubble: *alarmed* "What?! Why didn't you guys wake me up! Come on we can catch up to him if we hurry!"

As Rubble ran towards the entrance he looked back to see everyone staying in the exact same position. No one wanted to help?

Rubble: "Guys?"

All 3 of them just shifted uncomfortable, they looked everywhere expect at Rubble. They all knew something that Rubble didn't. But what they were most uncertain about was who would be the one to tell him.

Rocky looked at Marshall and nodded his head toward the clueless pup. But in contrast Marshall glared at him saying he would have to make him first. Then Rocky took it as a challenge and looked at Zuma for back up and before Marshall could even get a grasp of the situation, he was pushed toward Rubble, falling face flat and hitting the ground, regretting his action.

Marshall: "Oww." He said sarcastically narrow his eyes at both Rocky and Zuma.

But they didn't care, they just high pawed each other in response.

Rubble: "Um okay? But still why didn't you guys go with Chase, is something wrong?" He said looking at Marshall since he was literally thrown into answer Rubble's questions.

Marshall: "Uhhhh..." He looked back at his team hoping for some type of help in an explanation. He got nothing.

Rubble: *raises eyebrow* "What?"

Marshall: *gulp* "Look Rubble I know that your really close to Chase that he's basically like an older brother to you and that you get worried but um, well- *sighs*. Rubble...we DID want to go with him, believe me we were worried too, but we just didn't go because he said he didn't need us...to go."

Rubble: "Yeah yeah nice joke Marshall. But come on-." He said doubtful because he knew Chase couldn't possibly want to go solo, that is until he got cut off.

Marshall: "I'm not joking! I'm telling the truth, what so you guys just assume I'm lying now?"

Rubble: "I never said that."

Rocky then steps in.

Rocky: "Wow Marshall. I should've known better then to make you explain something."

Marshall: *growls* "Then why did you make me?!"

Rocky: "To see you fail." *chuckles* "It worked."

Marshall: "You know what, we can settle this right now! I could care less if Rubble's watching!"

Rocky: *smirks* "Yeah right, in a fight between me and you there would only be three hits. I hit you, you hit the ground, and then the medic hitting the ambulance truck carrying you to the hospital."

Marshall: *growls*

Zuma: "Dudes stop!" He said taking lead for a first as well as trying to prevent anything that could turn ugly.

Marshall: "Stay out of this Zuma!"

Zuma: "Look dudes I know you guys awe mad at each othew and evewything but do you really have to do this now!?"

Thunder then played as background sound to the extreme pitch of tone in their voices. It was getting more agressive.

Rocky: "If Marshall here wants to start something then I have no choice but to finish it!"

Marshall: *narrows eyes* "At least I have the guts to start something you coward! Oh, no wonder Chase doesn't want to be a team anymore, your to weak! Water isn't that bad!"

Rocky: "At least I don't make a fool of myself every once and a while!"

Marshall: "Rocky I bet you can't even stand in a puddle for a solid minute!"

Rocky: "I bet you can't even stand up right for a solid minute! That's how dumb your bet is!"

Marshall: "Whatever! I don't need to take this. Especially from a mutt like you!"

Rocky: *growls* "A mutt?!"

Rocky couldn't help it so after that sentence reapted in his mind he then tackled Marshall to the ground. Scratching his right side of Marshall's face and giving a black eye to his left. But then Marshall bite one of Rocky's paw that was doing the most damage. Rocky jumped back giving a yelp. Marshall got up and charged at him and ended up shoving Rocky to a wall.

Zuma: "Stop! Dudes please stop!" He said feeling helpless.

They didn't. Marshall started holding Rocky's throat making him start choking and as well giving a blow to Rocky's bottom lip that gave out some blood, but then again in response Rocky used his hind legs to kicked Marshall's stomach. Then at the short moment Rocky was using to get air, Zuma came between them.

Holding Rocky back before anymore harm could be given.

Rocky: *out of breath* "C-call me that *gasping for air* again and you will *gasping again* regret it!" He said still getting held back.

Marshall: *wincing* "M-mutt."

Rocky was about to charge with a fist but then got stopped by a loud, booming voice.

Zuma: "CAN YOU GUYS JUST SHUT UP FOR A SECOND!?"

They did. Quite surprised. Where did all that anger come from?

Zuma: *inhales air* "Rubble it's okay, it's over. It better be." He said raising his voice at the end, making it clear that if not he would have to take sides.

But Rubble, who was beyond frighten at this point, finally saw that the fighting declined and came out of hiding from behind one of the beanbags. Tears still running down from his misty eyes. Believing that it was somewhat his fault that it even started. But one thing that stuck to him was that one statement Marshall said when angered at the beginning.

Rubble: *whimpers* "Marshall...what do you mean he doesn't want to be part of this team anymore?"

Both Rocky and Zuma raised an eyebrow at this, they didn't even catch the dalmatian saying it. But to be fair, what he said was true.

Marshall even though with a black eye and partly scratched face had his eyes open wondering what to say. It didn't take long for him to realize exactly what he had to say, he would say something he hasn't said for a long time...the truth. No more lying.

Marshall: *takes a deep breath* "Here's exactly what happened Rubble. Here's why Chase left..."

Flashback to earlier

As time rapidly went by, the whole team thought that so would the storm as well. But it didn't it looked like it was getting even worse.

Chase: "Times almost up." He said getting up from his quick slumber that he took.

Zuma, Rocky, and Marshall then starting pleading with Chase to at least stay just a couple minutes longer but he refused. 15 minutes was the deadline.

Marshall: "Come on Chase you got to be crazy to go out there."

Chase: "Well then, call me crazy that's not going to stop me." He said facing the entrance that was still blocked with 3 of his "friends".

They have been arguing for at least 2 minutes. But Chase was willing to, he was determined, not crazy. But after a while he got more determined than ever, maybe a little crazy.

Rocky: "It's pouring out there. *shivers* Please, stay here with us, i-it's for your own good." Motioning the blockade all 3 of them did.

Chase: *an eyebrow raised* "What do you know about my own good? What do you even know about me!?"

All this time Chase was expressing his thoughts in a calm and relax way, that was until Rocky hit a nerve. A sensitive nerve that hasn't been touched since over 6 years.

Zuma: "Dude we awe just looking out fow you."

Chase: "Oh please. I can handle this by myself...I don't need anybody's help anymore! I don't need a team anymore."

That echoed through the minds of everyone. All except Rubble he was napping. Good thing that he was a heavy sleeper.

Rocky: "What are you saying, Chase?"

Chase: *growls* "I'm saying that I had enough of this conversation! I'm tired of getting back stabbed by my friends. I'm tired of getting my heart broken. I'm tired of being lied to. I'm tired of being sad and depressed. I'm tired of being leader. I'm tired of this team. Guys...I'm tired, I need a break."

Zuma: "Dude-."

Chase: "Get out of my way." He said going back to a strict voice.

Marshall: "So your going to leave? Your just going to leave us? What about your safety? What about the team? What about Rubble? You know very well that your like a brother to him, he's going to be crushed if something happens to you."

Chase lighten up. His angered expression transformed into a sad, worried, and scared expression. Marshall knew it would work. But the plan in mind didn't.

Chase: "I-I can't stay though. I have to go before-." He stopped himself and looked at the sleeping Rubble. "...before this day ends."

Marshall then, after glancing at Rubble, looked at Chase. He could sense that Chase was remembering an unpleasant memory, one that he wasn't fond of telling. Marshall could see it all in his eyes. And out of nowhere he smiled while staring for too long.

Rocky caught this and narrowed his eyes at the daydreaming canine, all he saw was a certain someone crushing. At a time like this!? But then again...he wasn't the only one.

Chase: "Tell Rubble I'm sorry. And also tell him goodbye. Because I'm leaving, for good."

With that being said, Chase mad dashed out of the lookout. Shoving all of them to the ground. Shocked. He jumped into his vehicle and took off. Looking back at the lookout one last time. It wasn't his home anymore. Adventure Bay was never his home.

End of flashback

Marshall finished with cloudy eyes. The only noise that was heard was the rain hitting the earth and the lookout. The truth hurts. Sometimes it's better for it to be kept a secret.

A/N: So today in this chapter it's technically April 06. And I chose this date mainly because a couple days ago my let's just say someone very special to me died and I would like to dedicated at least one of my chapters to her. This is mostly why most of my chapters are sad and give off a depressed tone. I honestly am connecting myself to Chase through memories some secrets and a mistake I regret to this day it was the biggest mistake I ever made. So yeah hopefully I see you guys in my next chapter so byeeeeeeee!
