“What kind of rescue?”
“I don’t know. I’m particular to dogs, but I’m a cat guy too,” he said with a quirk of his lips.
“Interesting.”
“That sounded like you have something going on in the back of your head.”
“We’ve been working some K9 files. We’ve had a really good success rate, but this next one? We just don’t have a lot of information on it.”
“What are the K9 files?”
And he listened while Geir explained about the War Dog Division shutting down this part of the department, and a bunch of these dogs having been lost in the system.
“Those dogs give their lives in many instances,” Greyson said. “They certainly give the best years of their physical lives, and they deserve to have a decent ending to it.”
“Which is why we agreed to help on a pro bono basis,” Geir said. “What we now have is Kona. A Belgian Malinois female, who was shipped to Denver but somehow ended up in Hawaii.”
“That doesn’t even compute,” Greyson said, staring at him in surprise.
“Right?”
“So has she been shipped back to Denver?”
“No, she was picked up, supposed to go to a foster setup for a few nights, until someone could arrange her trip home, only she disappeared overnight.”
“Well, that could be a good thing,” Greyson said. “A lot of people don’t agree with shelters.”
“This was a rescue. She had her own run. She should have been just fine there,” Geir said. “What we can’t do is ignore this. We need to know that whoever stole the dog is looking after her and that the dog will have the best life possible.”
“What about legalities in this one?”
“An adoptive family was lined up in Denver. We didn’t have anybody in Hawaii.”
“So, if I do find the dog, and I do find that it’s in a good home, am I supposed to rip it away and send it to Denver?”
Geir thought about that for a long moment as he studied his coffee cup. “No,” he finally said. “I think the baseline here is that we go with whatever is in the best interests of the dog.”
“So, go find the dog, track down whoever stole it, figure out why and what they’re doing with it and if the dog will be okay?” He looked around at the yard he spent the last few days working at and said, “Hawaii could be good.”
Geir looked at him and smiled. “Any connection for you?”
“Grandparents. They used to live in New York, and then, one day, it’s like they snapped, sold everything and moved to Hawaii.”
“Hey, I’m not sure that’s such a bad idea,” Geir said, “but honestly, if you’ll be in one of the big cities, I’m not sure there’s any difference.”
“They’re on one of the outer islands, I believe,” he said. “It might be time to find out.”
“Exactly.”
“What airport did the dog disappear from?”
“It was flown into Lanai Airport, and then it was at the Freedom shelter. That’s the last known location we have.”
He nodded. “How long ago?”
“Now that we are actually delving into this case, it’s possible the trail ran cold a long time ago. The dog has been missing for just over three months.”
“So long enough to bond but not enough to bond well.”
“Depends on the circumstances, as you know,” Geir said.
Greyson nodded. “Some situations require immediate bonding. But those are usually the ugly situations. Danger, strife, violence, something along that line.”
“Exactly. So maybe we need to find out just what’s going on in that poor dog’s life.”
Greyson chuckled. “I think I can handle this one.”
Geir looked at him, grinned and said, “Think so?”
“I know so. Mission accepted.”
