"Antauri!"

The brown husky ran silently through the narrow alley, keeping as low as possible, an obvious attempt to get away from something.

''Antauri!'' a voice was heard from the back of the alley.

The brown husky grunted in annoyment and rose his body to face the newcomer.

''What do you want, Ice?'' he said.

The newcomer was a rather large white-toned husky with a leather collar which was encrusted with gold ovals.He had a smug appearance on his face and padded cockily to meet Antauri.

''Oh, nothing special'' , he said, ''Just wanted to wish you good luck tomorrow.''

Antauri twitched his ear.Ice was either being overly sarcastic or fell on his head.

Antauri decided to play his game. '' You too, Ice.Enjoy your collar for tonight.By the end of tomorrow, it'll be around my neck.''

''Nonsense, dear Antauri.Come on, give up now and save your energy.''

Antauri rose his tail high and padded away. ''You know that was never an option for me, Ice.Adios!'' he threw back to him without turning his head.When Ice's reply didn't come, he made a pleasant face.One point for me!
