Claude nodded slowly. "I'm glad you escaped. I'm sorry if the bus ran you over. I had to keep the hunters from shooting innocent people."
Dim gasped in awe before grasping his big brother's sleeve. "Big Brother! Big Brother! That guy saved me from, uh.. Wait, it's more like he created a diversion for me. Don't worry about the bus! I ducked when they first shot me. The thing just went past me. I was already on the ground. But, gosh, that was so scary… Something so huge moved so fast!"
They would have smiled at Dim's enthusiasm if the talkative wolf hadn't stopped abruptly. He even coughed up blood as if forgetting about his abdominal wounds. The big brother only caught him before he fell to the ground. A Delta had come to bring the wounded person back to their secret home.
