You've been at Rider level since you were accepted into the Puppy Patrol. Now there were 3 leaders, not 2.

At first, the guys treated you with distrust, but they still accepted you because you were very responsible and capable. But Chase.... He... Never dared to take you seriously, he was worried that you would let the whole team down. But he had some confidence in you. Maybe because you saved him from a truck in the past...

You were quietly going about your business at the top of the Patrol base. Unsuspecting, it took some time until you heard Chase's footsteps. Turning around, you saw the second team leader nervously rubbing his hand, as if preparing to ask something, while his ears were folded back
