As every evening LadyF walked with her dogs in Highland Park. Not the safest park to walk in but it was the one that LadyF loved. Her dogs were always running on the grass and even swam in the little lake in the middle of the park.

That was LadyF's favorite place, because she could sit there on a bench and just enjoy the quietness and listen to the birds singing.

Lately at the same time LadyF was sitting there, a gentleman with a dog was running through the park too. He was jogging and looked very fit. Since a few days the man sat down on the same bench LadyF was sitting and they started to have a conversation. Of course the conversation was most of the time about the dogs.

Last week LadyF was called to ThomasLaurel's Headquarters for a city meeting. To her biggest surprise a dog came running towards her with his tail wagging. The dog recognised her immediately and then LadyF recognised the dog too. Oh, you are Syndicate-'s dog. LadyF always had some cookies in her coat and gave the dog a few. She saw Syndicate- standing beside ThomasLaurel and said to him: "Sorry Syndicate-, your dog is too cute and we know each other quite well. If he was not supposed to have these cookies, then I am sorry".

At the meeting, the future of Pasadena was discussed too. Since LadyF's headquarters was full, there should be an expansion to have the city grow further. ThomasLaurel put a piece of paper on the table and a few names were on that list for possible candidates. While reading the names, LadyF stood up and looked towards ThomasLaurel.

"How do you know Syndicate- and I know each other? And how is he on the list?"

ThomasLaurel only smiled and mumbled: "I know everything".

LadyF did not hesitate and told ThomasLaurel she would be very happy to see Syndicate- setting up beside her in Pasadena.

So with pleasure I introduce to you all, Syndicate- as a new leader in Pasadena, Los Angelos.

Congratulations Syndicate-. I know you will do a great job!

Tutte happened to notice when LadyF had her dog out and sneaked a bit behind and sniffed everywhere there hers had been and pee and peed over it, Nah, he totally just came to celebrate Syndicate- to taking up space and building up a new crew, always good to see.

Puppie says voff, meaning Cheers!

OK.. OK.. I am not panicking..!

Rudy was sweating after having received the message that his leader LadyF was to announce something important on the Streets, just before he overheard some corridor conversations on how you were not allowed to approach the happening without bringing a dog.
The latter troubled Rudy. It had been years that he owned a dog, and the recollections he tried to forget were those of a constant struggle for domination for who'd be walking whom in the evening walk.

He paced up and down through LadyF's headquarters before he realized there was a solution:
The local rent-a-dog-store!

He rushed down, whistled for a cab and fortunately it didn't take long for him to the place he always neglected as being an otiose establishment, but now, he was delighted that it was actually there.

He told the taxi-driver to wait, and entered the store.
It was much calmer than he had expected, there was hardly any noise.
Maybe the pet-rental-business wasn't such a good one to work in?

He was approached by a lovely young lady, who asked him if she could be of assistance.

Well, yes.. I need a dog for.. Say.. Two hours?

But we only have Cube left. The rest is rented out for some big happening where dogs are mandatory.

Is Cube a dog?

Well, yes.. But..

I'll take Cube!

The young woman tried to say something about the dog, but Rudy repeated his last line

I'll take Cube. He.. She.. will do just fine. Can you get it ready right away?

The girl nodded and left for a couple of minutes. As she returned, she lifted a medium-sized bench onto the counter with what seemed to be a hairless cat in it.

What is this? Rudy asked, clearly qualmished by what he saw

Cube. She is a perro calvo dorado ecuatoriano, an Ecuadorian hairless dog.

This is a dog? Rudy started tearing his hair out, he'd look like a fool in front of LadyF

Yes.. And as you can see, people and dogs turn out to look more and more like eachother as they bond, that's probably why you are pulling..

The saleswoman understood how it'd be better for her to stop talking. Rudy laid the cash on the counter, left the Rent-a-pet-store and stepped back into the cab, giving the driver directions on where to go. Again, fortunately, it was close-by. He stepped out, took Cube with him and approached LadyF, who started what turned out to be a rather short speech.

With all the dogs barking, it did made sense to keep it short, Rudy thought, as he let Cube loose to play with the other cats dogs.

LadyF presented Syndicate- as the newest auth of Pasadena, and Rudy was delighted to hear that news.
It's like a piece of the puzzle falling into the right spot!

As Syndicate- was about to speech, he called for his dog, shouting his name. Rudy responded by yelling

Cuuuube!
