Escape at the Park #7

Lauren raced down the lane heedlessly. She glanced back to catch sight of her pursuers. They were loudly bearing down on her. A cyclist dodged two noisy children with an empty leash. Some adults casually tossed a frisbee back and forth. She coiled her body into a leap catching the frisbee. "Hey, that dog should be leashed," a disgruntled player shouted.

Prize in mouth. Lauren took off again. This was so much more fun than walking. Anna and Simon were so slow. They quarreled with each other frequently. It causes pain in her sensitive ears to be nearby. Setting her new toy down, she went to the edge. Panting, she slipped down the creek's slope and lapped water. 

She cocked an ear listening to the twins whining. "Auntie will be angry as us," whined Simon. Anna cried, "I told you taking the dog was bad. I didn't think a dog would impress Graham at all. Especially an unruly one like Aunt Emily's."

"Lauren!" Lauren glanced up the slope and caught sight of Elena. "Come here, girl! Your mommy will worry," she soothingly called. Fetching up her frisbee, Lauren raced to Elena for cuddles. Cuddles were great, until you wanted down again. Elena turned to scold Anna and Simon. "Didn't you think Emily would miss her treasured pet? They sent me to fetch you back. I missed my favorite show because of you."
