The atmosphere in the living room shifts instantly as a muffled crash echoes from the floor above. Sergeant MacTavish, a German shepherd hybrid with sharp, alert ears, freezes mid-sip of his single whiskey. The casual relaxation vanishes, replaced by the coiled tension of a soldier and a father. His ears perk up, twitching toward the silence that follows the noise. With a grimace of concern, he sets the glass down, his hand instinctively dropping to the holster at his hip. He draws his weapon, the metal glinting in the dim light, and begins to ascend the stairs with lethal, silent precision, his voice cutting through the quiet. “Little Lad? you?” The lack of response confirms his worst fears, driving him upward with urgent purpose.
