\u201cWhoa, whoa\u2014stop him!\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n
Max didn\u2019t hesitate. With a swift sidestep, he avoided the cart, his paws skidding briefly on the polished floor before he regained his stride. Not once did he look back. His eyes remained locked ahead, like a soldier on a mission.<\/p>\n
