I'm requestin' a new partner.” He dug at his teeth with a wooden pick. "I'll speak with Sergeant Ahuda, but ye've the right to know first.

"Then however you kept your memory quick before, start doing time. Goddess, not Puppy training again, not even one class! I'd never hear the end of it!Īhuda took her fist away and propped it on one of her sturdy hips. " The plea left my mouth before I could stop the words. "Shall I send you back to Puppy training for a refreshing in memory study?" What's the use, with partners like I've had? Ahuda put her brown fist under my chin and thrust my head up so I'd look her in the eye. Have you slacked on the memory exercises?" You used to write the best reports of any Puppy or first-year Dog, but not of late.
"You leave out detail, you skip what's said. "Your reports have gotten sloppy." That was Ahuda, never one to soften her words. I couldn't think what I might have done to vex her. We'd gotten on well since I'd finished my Puppy year and in my five months' work as a Dog. "A private word, Cooper," she told me, and pulled me into a quiet corner of the yard. I should have known tonight's watch would kiss the mule's bum when Sergeant Ahuda stopped me after baton training.
