Trying to ignore the headache, Killer closes his eyes--more or less to forget about his missing glasses--and, to make sure he keeps his eyes shut, he folds both paws over them as well.
"Why can't things just settle down around here?" he whimpers, still hearing the muffled noises outside, "As if there aren't enough problems in the world..."

Hedge enters the casino and stands quietly for a moment...
whispers... "Killer? Killer are you here? It's me, Hedge."
Hedge is worried... Killer could be anywhere since he can't see... she kinda wished SunFlash had stayed with him instead of jumping in the bayou to help Charlie... but, that was the way it always ended up, Killer was always left behind or left out...

SunFlash forced herself above water, paddling furiously to shore although she wouldn't get anywhere fast. Her hind paws were on the bottom, sliding

*As Hedge took the glasses, she must not have relised that Itchy was only trying to help, Itchy can't swim so there is little he can do to help Charlie at the moment so he saw the glasses and tried to get them for Killer* "Hedge, I' I was only trying to....help?" *As Hedge walks away Itchy noticed Sun Flash is in her own danger now* "SUNFLASH! Hold on! I'll get help!" *Itchy still standing the the water trips and falls in due to the aleart* "AHHHHHHHHH! Charile! Hegde! Help!" *now Itchy is in trouble as well as his body is being flused down the river twords Charlie and Sun Flash *

Actually, that happened to me once. I was at a beach running sideways to the current, and 5 seconds later, you get a face-ful of sand LOL BIC-SunFlash pedaled towards Itchy "I'll try to help" She swam powerfully, with some resistance. To get more power, she brought her fore paws and legs on the bottom, trying to prevent her from slipping further. While slipping, a rock cut against her, making a cut on her left foreleg

Killer's ears perk up ever so slightly as he hears Hedge's reassuring voice coming from...somewhere. He crawls forward a bit, though having no idea where "forward" will lead him. Straining his eyes, he can't make out anything more than about six inches away from his nose--maybe less.
"Hedge, I...I dunno where I am," he whimpers, sounding as lost and scared as a misplaced puppy, "I think I'm under the bar, but...for all I know, it could be a table. W-where are you?"

Killer's voice is coming from only a couple of feet away from Hedge, so while she's flipping on the lights with one paw, she reaches down for him with her other...
"I'm right here old boy... and I've got your glasses... Here, over here, to your right, just a little... there you go..."
When Killer is close enough, Hedge reaches out and puts his glasses back on his nose... "How's that, pear?"

SunFlash winced as she neared Itchy. She dug her hind claws in so she wouldn't get swept down as fast. SunFlash stretched her neck out, and nearly got Itchy's scruff

Killer heaves a tremendous sigh of relief when Hedge graciously restores his vision by returning his glasses. He scrambles out from under the bar hastily and throws himself at Hedge, catching her in the strongest hug he can manage.
"I can never thank you enough, Hedge," he whimpers, "You okay? Where is everybody?"

"Everybody is down at the bayou... Carface put Charlie in a straitjacket and threw him in the water... Itchy was retrieving your glasses and he got swept in and SunFlash jumped in and started trying to swim out to help Charlie... I hate to say it, Killer, but I think we need to go help them... I don't like what Charlie does, but I don't want to see anyone get hurt... or killed..."
Stops talking to take a breath...
"Are you with me?"

Killer grimaces and recoils, not at all favoring the idea of joining the action going on at the bayou as he clearly recalls the last event in that very place.
"Do we hafto?" he whines, then realizes Hedge has a point, "Aw, you're right. Somebody's gotta be the brains of this outfit, huh? Seems like we're the only dogs left around here with any brains. It's against my better judgement, but...I'll be guilt-ridden if I don't help ya. Let's go."

The strap by which Charlie is caught eventually snaps and he is free. He manages to grasp the log with one paw and cast the straightjacket out to Itchy so one of the sleeves in within reach while he holds the other. "Itchy, grab on!" Mistaking SunFlash for Ruby, Charlie has no intentions of rescuing her.

SunFlash sees that Charlie was trying to get Itchy, she let go of his scruff, and nudged him closer to Charlie. She still struggled with the current though. SunFlash used her forelegs to dig in the bottom. She dug in far enough that she stopped

"Hang on a minute, Killer, I'll be right back."
Hedge trots quickly to the storage room and comes back moments later with several ropes hanging from her mouth, as well as blankets tossed over her back...
"This stuff might come in handy..."
"Let's go, Killer! You can't keep a good dog down!"

Killer nods his approval, totally agreeing with Hedge's idea as he follows her down to the bayou.
"Can we let Charlie and Itchy flounder around out there for a while?" he asks with a chuckle, watching the two splashing and flailing in the water, "It's kinda funny. 'Course, if I have my way, we'll just rescue SunFlash and let those two fend for themselves--sink or swim, y'know?"
