Spike and Hogarth Hughes

Hogarth dropped into the lower decks of a pirate ship in his Splinter Cell Halloween costume.

Hey, it was cool!

He and his friends witnessed pirate ship drop an anchor at the edge of town. The pirates got off the ship and hadn't returned for over a week.

His friends dared him to enter and take something only a real pirate would have. He only accepted because he didn't trust his friends to take something that the pirates would immediately notice and value. Which could lead to serious trouble.

He opened up a barrel to find that it was full of gun powder, he stored some of it in his Ziploc bag.

Mission accomplished.

He headed up to the ladder and heard a loud bark. Upon hearing that, Hogarth hastily climbed up but was not fast enough as a Mastiff leaped into the air and grabbed the back of his shirt. Hogarth screamed as he was pulled off the ladder and fell to the floor, his shirt was in the excited dog's strong grip. The dog was drooling.

Spike was not expecting anyone to enter the ship and was joyful that a human decided to trespass. The mastiff playfully shook his head from side to side, sending saliva in various directions. Hogarth screamed as he was shook left and right by his shirt. Thankfully, the dog stopped and dropped Hogarth on to the floor on his stomach.

Spike stared down at the nearly unconscious Hogarth with his tongue hanging and began licking his cheek, rolling it off which each swipe of his tongue.

"Ack! Gross! Quit that!" Hogarth protested, though he couldn't help giggling at the ticklish tongue. Eventually, the mastiff did in fact stop. But Hogarth saw that he was licking his lips as he stared down at him happily. The dog eagerly nosed at the boy on to his stomach, Hogarth wasn't strong enough to put up much of a fight.
