EXT – TOWN STREET – DAY
Randy catches up with Eliza and spots Hunter heading into town.
RANDY
Look, thank you for the dog lessons, but I have a proposition for you.
ELIZA
I'm listening.
RANDY
I need to reach this person.
ELIZA
Wow. Great story.
RANDY
Anyway, his name is Hunter. Hunter Reed. About 5 ft tall, works in a food truck.
ELIZA
The werewolf hunter. That freak is your master? Wow, you're more of a werewolf hater than I thought.
RANDY
No. He's not my owner; he's my arch-enemy. He robbed and killed my father. And I need to get back what he stole.
ELIZA
I'm sorry. We're friends, and I've saved you countless times and taught you to be a real dog, but I'm not the type to do favors. I'm more of a there when you need her kind of pooch.
RANDY
Not even for a reasonable proposition?
ELIZA
Go on.
RANDY
I have a room full of meat back home.
Eliza licks her lips, thinking that sounds tasty.
RANDY
You get me to Hunter, and it's yours.
ELIZA
And why should I believe you?
RANDY
Because of the strength...
Randy thinks and decides to conceal the fact that he is a werewolf, so he doesn't say the werewolf oath.
RANDY
I mean, I never lie.
ELIZA
Deal. If you can keep up.
Eliza knocks Randy out of the way as dog catchers approach.
DOG CATCHER 1
You won't get away this time, Muttician.
DOG CATCHER 2
Yeah, not for the 42nd night in a row.
ELIZA
Nobody catches Eliza, the Great Muttician.
Both dog catchers twirl their catch poles and prepare to fight.
One dog catcher runs up to Eliza; Randy covers his eyes.
Eliza jumps onto one dog catcher; the other tries to catch her.
Eliza jumps off; the second dog catcher catches the first with his catchpole.
ELIZA
Too slow.
Eliza runs around; the second dog catcher tries to catch her, but she escapes through a hole in the fence.
Eliza returns and makes the dog catchers fight each other by running between them.
Eliza jumps into a dumpster, digs fast, and throws garbage in the dog catchers' faces.
DOG CATCHER
Muttician!
Eliza grabs a rope with her mouth, jumps on the dog catchers, and ties them up.
Eliza knocks their catchpoles on their heads and traps them.
RANDY
I'm impressed.
ELIZA
Thank you. Like I said, they try to catch me, but always fail. Now come on.
Eliza hops on boxes and jumps the fence; Randy follows.
EXT – WOLF FAMILY HOME – NIGHT
Randy's family is worried about him; he has been missing for two nights.
MRS. WOLF
We're going on patrol tonight. And we'll find Randy if it takes until morning.
The werewolves go looking for Randy, except Uncle Max, who dislikes him.
EXT – HUNTER'S WEREWOLF MUSEUM – NIGHT
Randy follows Eliza to Hunter's werewolf museum.
ELIZA
Well, here we are. Good luck.
RANDY
Wait. You're not coming?
ELIZA
Hey, the deal was that I'd get you to Hunter, and you'd give me meat. It didn't say anything about me going into that horror show of a museum.
Randy goes alone and sees Hunter working his food truck.

Clever pooch.

RANDY
There it is.
Randy breaks the display case; the moonstone ring falls out, but breaks.
RANDY
What? It's fake.
Hunter scowls at Randy and approaches.
HUNTER
What have you done, you mutt?
Hunter points at Randy; his ring glows on his finger.
RANDY
That ring is mine.
Hunter pulls the ring away; it dims, then glows again when held up to Randy.
HUNTER
What are you?
Randy tries jumping and biting Hunter's finger to get the ring back.
Hunter grabs Randy and puts him in a cage.
Hunter takes Randy to his lab in the food truck.
Hunter lets Randy out, ties him up, and starts talking.
HUNTER
Just in case you're what I think you are.
Hunter accidentally activates a laser, setting Randy's tail on fire.
RANDY
Ooh, hot, hot.
Hunter deactivates the laser and sprays Randy with water to put out the fire.
HUNTER
Oops, sorry.
Randy calms down after taking a deep breath.
EXT – HUNTER'S FOOD TRUCK – NIGHT
HUNTER
Everyone loves the food truck guy, right? Ha, ha.
HUNTER
Wrong. It's the food in my food truck for which they come. No one ever asks Hunter Reed about his day or comes to his werewolf museum. They all call me Hopeless Hunter and make fun of me.
RANDY
Sounds like a real sob story, but have you ever considered giving up?
Hunter hears Randy barking but only understands barking.
HUNTER
Wow, such a loud bark. You know, since that night I saw that boy get eaten, I've been on the hunt for werewolves, and this ring has been helping me.
Hunter holds the ring up to Randy; it glows again.
Randy tries biting Hunter to get the ring back, but misses.
RANDY
Nobody got eaten that night. I am that boy.
Hunter slams his hand and stops Randy from barking.
HUNTER
Shut up, you dang mutt.
Hunter activates his DNA scanner and scans Randy.
Data prints; Hunter reads it.
HUNTER
That's weird. According to this, you're one part boy, one part Alaskan Malamute, and one part wolf.
Hunter tries to touch Randy; Randy nips to keep him away.
Hunter uses his camera to take a picture of Randy's silver watch.
Hunter's computer analyzes the watch.
Hunter hears scratching at the window.
HUNTER
We're closed.
The scratching continues despite Hunter's words.
Hunter answers the door but sees no one outside.
HUNTER
Well, whoever you were, you'd better not do that again, or I'll call the police.
Randy is confused; Eliza walks in through the door.
ELIZA
How's it going?
RANDY
Sssh. What are you doing here?
ELIZA
What does it look like? I'm saving you.
Eliza tries biting through Randy's ropes but struggles.
HUNTER
Hey, what are you doing with my specimen?

My ring.
