"Momo! Momo!"
Sonja and I were wandering around the property, calling out her name. It was getting dark and she still hadn't come, and every minute that passed was making me more worried. Had she gotten lost? Had she eaten something poisonous? Had she tripped and sprained her ankle? Had people found her and taken her?
"Master, over here!"
I followed Sonja's voice to the front of the house, where she was crouched down, her noise to the ground.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Momo was here, I can smell her." She then began to crawl, keeping her head down and moving along the driveway. "She went this way, towards the road."
From where Momo had stood, I turned to the house and could see into the bedroom. She must have seen us and run off. Good thing Sonja was originally a dog; she may not have been a bloodhound, but her nose must be hundred times stronger than mine. "Can we follow her?"
"Yeah! Come on, Master!"
She started running towards the road with me chasing after her. I wanted to get into my car and follow Momo's trail that way, but I knew Sonja wouldn't be able to pick up the scent. We would have to go on foot. We reached the road and Sonja paused, moving from side to side with her nose low.
"That way!"
She pointed down the road and we both started running, hoping that we were moving faster than Momo was. Minutes passed, my low stamina soon taking effect. I wasn't fat, but I spent all my time on either on the couch or in the office, and after moving all my stuff and having sex with Sonja, what little strength I had had been used up. Regardless, I pushed myself to keep up with Sonja, running ahead of me with her fluffy blonde tail bouncing. Every kilometer or so, Sonja would stop and smell the ground, making sure that we hadn't skipped over any place where Momo might have turned and gone the woods. She was moving consistently alongside the road, but no matter how far we ran, it seemed like there was no change to it. The woods on either side stayed the same without any sign of the growing distance.
I was just glad that no cars passed by us. This area wasn't between anything important and I was the only person for miles around. I had to hope that no one did come down this road before we started chasing Momo. Hopefully she was still wearing her clothes, and anyone driving by would be going too fast to see her tail. I just had to keep on hoping, but that hope was running out. The sun eventually set, but with the cloudy overhang, we lost the light before it even reached the horizon. Miles from home, the mosquitoes biting us, we were forced to the slow down. Even Sonja's canine energy reserves and fit body couldn't maintain such a pace. Soon enough, the last stroke came, a drop falling from the sky and landing on my nose. I looked up as the summer storm began, a slowly building deluge. On one hand, the rain was welcome, cooling us down and quenching our thirst, but on the other hand, it was a whole new problem.
Kneeling on the ground, Sonja turned to me with a worried expression. "I can't follow Momo's scent, the rain is washing it away. Master, what do we do?"
"We keep going. I don't care if I have to follow this road until sunrise, I'm going to find Momo."
Sonja looked at me and smiled. "Right!"
