The same human that had taken Aura returns to the pound some time later. After speaking with a worker there, he approaches the cage with Hidden Secrets and kneels down. He sticks his hand through the kennel and clucks his tongue to call her over to him.

*woofing the white fem pads to the front of her kennel and sniffs at his fingers. she smells aura.*

*silent stayed backing her kennel where she was put with her sister.*

His cell phone rang suddenly, so the man stood and answered it. He seemed surprised and a bit relieved by what he heard. Often, he glanced toward Hidden Secrets. Finished talking, he hailed a pound worker who hurried over. After a brief talk, the pound worker opened Hidden Secret's cage and slipped in. He tried to get a collar and leash around her neck.

*she allowed it but whined as she noticed silent was left here alone.*

The man ignored her whines and led her to his vehicle. And, whether by force or command, he got her into the front seat and shut the leash in the door so she couldn't get away, but was still free to lie down or sit up in the seat. He drove to the Dump.
