Raider is in the basement of the reader house, sitting comfortably in a recliner, watching 28 Days Later with his glasses on. There's a sweet pea shaped lump in his lap, covered by a blanket. Her sleeping face is resting on his shoulder.
There's a scuffle down the hall. Raider's nostrils flare and he huffs in irritation. A series of barks and growls tell him Bullet has it covered. Not worth waking sweet pea up. She lets out a grunt, scrunches her face, and begins to stir. Now they've really done it.
In the hall, three sets of boots approach along with the dog barking. Raider pauses the movie.
"Bullet," sweet pea scolds sleepily, and his yips turn into a furious growl.
"Son of a bitch," a Steve curses. Three Steves emerge wearing body holsters. One is bleeding and bullet is hanging off another one's arm, holding on by his teeth.
One of their radios chirps. It's Javi saying "Stand down. He's not our guy."
Raider cracks his neck and says, "You woke her up."
