What. The bloody hell. Is going on?

[No, must not...give into...temptation...]

Are you still up to searching for his gun? I won't let anyone know that it's you, I promise.

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He flicks his oh so skritchable ears back and forth while panting happily.

He barks again. He's not sure if he can sniff out a gun but he's sure gonna try.*

[prpl_assistant]

[You fiend. It's taking all her willpower just not to give him a tummy rub. She clears her throat.]

Would you be able to sniff out the gunpowder? Or do you need the RED Sniper's scent?

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Maybe he could sniff out gunpowder. He's not really sure. He walks around in a circle sniffing the ground, he makes a few snuffling noises and then looks up. They should start at RED's house first.

He barks and then trots off to RED's townhouse.*

[prpl_assistant]

[She follows him. Hopefully they won't be met by any of the other RED members, because this would be hard to explain. They reach the door and she looks at him.]

Can you smell him from here? Or would you need another sample?

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He sniffs around, his wagging tail smacking into her legs. He barks once and slowly trails away, nose to the ground.*

[prpl_assistant]

[Well, it looks like he's got a lead. She walks behind him, keeping her eyes open just in case.]

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He stops when he comes to an intersection. Trotting back and forth, trying to get the scent back. He ends up inadvertently sniffing her shoes. Oh hey... that smells nice... no wait. Back to work.*

[prpl_assistant]

[She can't help but giggle when he does that. But oh wait, yes, back to work.]

Can you find the scent? I know it's faint, but it's probably our best chance.

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He whines and sits down next to her, ears drooping.*

[prpl_assistant]

[Oh, don't pull that face Sniper. She can't help but sit down next to him and give him those ear scratches.]

It's alright, you did a good job. Maybe we can follow one road and see where it leads. Hopefully you can pick up the scent again.

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He barks and starts to get up to try again but then... oh yeah... that's nice. He leans into the skritches, closing his eyes.

Wait wait. Stop that. He pulls away from the hand petting him, but doesn't get up.*

[prpl_assistant]

[She smiles and gets up herself.]

Let's try that road. Maybe there's a clue somewhere.

[It's a gamble, but better than doing nothing.]

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He gets to his feet and puts his nose to the ground, sniffing around again, his tail wagging.

So far, nothing.*

Search montage?

[prpl_assistant]

[She doesn't give up either. She'll lead the Sniper around the place, in hopes of finding something. And that's when she suddenly realises something.

They might not be able to sniff out the RED Sniper. But whoever that man was, he was definitely very violent. He left the RED Sniper in a bloody mess.

He must smell of blood.]

Sniper. Can you smell blood anywhere? Not just the RED Sniper's, but anyone's.

/cues up the quirky music

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Oh. He hadn't really thought about that. Sniff sniff.. oh wait, that's her shoes again. He sniffs around before catching a scent and dashing off. He sniffs up to a closed door and barks.*

Eye of the tiger!!

[prpl_assistant]

[Quietly, she takes out her revolver and advances to the door carefully. She whispers to him:]

Can you smell anyone on the other side?

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He sniffs again and shakes his head. He puts his cold nose on her hand and tries to wedge himself inbetween her and the door, just in case.*

[prpl_assistant]

[She nods grimly, gives him a pat on the head for reassurance, and then tries the door. Locked? No problem. She aims her gun at the lock and shoots it off, before she opens it slowly, gun point first.]

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He crouches down, slinking into the house looking around and sniffing more. He didn't see anything, but his eyesight as a dog wasn't quite that good. He didn't smell anything though. Except more blood.*

Are they going to find the gun?

[prpl_assistant]

[She carefully searches the area; it looks like no one's been home for awhile. She inches her way around the furniture, taking extra care not to bump into anything. Her footprints make very little sound as well.

Exploring the kitchen, she doesn't find anything out of the ordinary. It might be time to take it upstairs. She gestures to Sniper and points upwards.]

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He folds his ears back and crouches low to the ground as he climbs the stairs, once at the top his ears perk and he lets out a happy bark before darting into one of the rooms.*

[prpl_assistant]

[That can only be good news. She rushes in after him, making sure that the coast is clear. But is she happy to see that familiar rifle standing up against the wall.

If no one's come around to catch them by now, than it's probably safe to say they're safe. She keeps her revolver and carefully picks up the rifle. No wonder there was no smell of gunpowder; it hasn't been used in awhile. Probably the last time was when RED had it.

She grins down at Sniper.]

Good work Sniper. Let's get out of here, before the attacker gets back.

[bye_to_yer_head]

*There goes that tail wag again. He looks at it, still unsure how he's doing that, or more importantly how to make it stop.

But he barks agreeably and heads down the stairs, pushing the door open with his snout.*

[prpl_assistant]

[She gives the area one last look, before she runs out with him. She makes sure to note down the location of the house, but whoever who lived there had probably moved on. The whole place was a little dusty.

Clutching the prize, she left with the Sniper, heading back to the fountain.]
