Free writing: At the first sight

     "Alright! Alright! I'll be there in 10 minutes!" Jason was on his phone, and his friends Messi was calling him to go to the cafe for some emergency "man talk" about  Messi's wife. There was a big crying coming from the baby's room. "No ! Way! I forgot Gabriel!" Jason's wife was not at home today, and he has to take care of their baby Gabriel. "Woof! Woof!'' It is Cliff their dog barking and hurried into the room. Cliff is a very loyal dog, he is so big that he looks like a wolf. And he loves the baby so much that he doesn't allow any stranger go near Gabriel when he's with the her. Jason went into the room and saw Cliff playing with Gabriel, and the crying baby was soothed. An idea has came up to his mind, "Cliff!" he clapped his hands, gesturing Cliff to come over. Cliff came over wagging his tail, he seems to be proud of himself comforting Gabriel. "Cliff! Daddy needs to go out for a while"" Woof!" Jason patted on Cliff's head and continues" Just take care of Gabriel for an hour okay? I trust you buddy!" "Woof!!" Cliff assured him with a loud bark. "Gabriel, please be a good girl. Daddy will be back very soon!" And Jason went out and went to his friend.
     An hour later, Jason was back. "Hey Cliff! I'm back!" There was not a single sound. "Cliff? Cliff?"
he started to get nervous. Jason ran upstairs to Gabriel's room, it was empty. "Cliff? Cliff?" Jason then ran to the yard, and he saw a terrible scene. Cliff was at the yard where Jason and his wife spared for his large body to play around. Cliff's was full of blood, sitting still on the ground and staring at Jason with a innocent sight. "What the hell?" Jason was full with anger, he thought of the worst thing. "Where is Gabriel?" He yelled at Cliff. Cliff tried to approach to Jason's leg. "Get away from me you damn creature!" Jason kicked away Cliff furiously, and he the anger rose up to his head. He couldn't think of how to tell his wife, and how terrible it is to lose Gabriel. Cliff tried again to bite the bottom of Jason's trousers. "What do you think you are doing? Begging for my forgiveness?" Jason gave a big slap on Cliff's mouth, and Cliff whimpered.
     Walking straightly to the house, Jason took a big stick and he decided to punish Cliff for his foul deed. "Hey Cliff!" Cliff ran to Jason at the moment he heard Jason called his name. But the treat he got wasn't a pat on the head but a hard hit by the stick. "Now you know how painful I am right now?" Jason hit on Cliff again, but Cliff didn't run away. Instead, he walked toward Jason, and tried to bite his trousers again. That action pissed Jason off, he worried about himself getting into trouble, he was desperate of losing Gabriel. The most important is that he didn't know how to tell his wife about this. He was blinded by the anger, he hit Cliff hard at the once again, Cliff did nothing, and that hit was so hard that he could hardly stand. Jason hit him once again, there was  blood coming out from the wound of Cliff. He whimpered and trying to run away. But Jason was in insanity, he couldn't stop it. He chased Cliff around the yard, and Cliff was not going to fight back. Cliff was out of breath and he could only lie on the ground and suffered from Jason. "What are you doing? Stop it right now!". A neighbor of Jason shouted at him with panic. He grabbed Jason's hand and tried to stop Jason from beating Cliff. "You have no idea what happened to you? Stop it right now! Please!" the neighbor kneeled down and checked Cliff's wound, his body was full of injuries. Cliff seemed to stop breathing. "He's eaten Gabriel! He ate my girl! What do u think I'm doing?" Jason pushed away his neighbor angrily. "No! He didn't!" the neighbor yelled. All of a sudden, it was a big tsunami hit in the brain. Jason was sober and stunned by the word his neighbor just said. "Wha....what did you..you just said?" Jason's hands were shivering, and he looked at Cliff with tears. The neighbor grabbed Jason's arm and ran toward his house. "When you were out, there was a thief tried to break into your house and Cliff barked so loud and  I heard that. Cliff was a good boy, he bit the thief and I took Gabriel to my house in case that the thief got mad and hurt her." They ran into the  neighbor's house and Jason saw Gabriel laying safely on the couch. "Thank God!" Jason broke in to tears and embraced Gabriel.
Suddenly, he thought of Cliff, his innocent boy Cliff. It was his mistake to misunderstand and suspect Cliff was the one that hurt Gabriel. He put down Gabriel carefully, and ran back to his yard to check if Cliff is okay.
     There was nothing in the yard except the stick that Jason used to hit Cliff. "Cliff! Where are you? Daddy was wrong! Please forgive me! Let me take you to the vet!" Jason clapped his hands and kept shouting Cliff's name. But no matter how loud he yelled and how hard he clapped, Cliff was still missing.  It was getting dark, Jason could hardly see through the woods that he didn't went to search for Cliff. He decided to do it on the next day. So he brought Gabriel home and tramped back and forth thinking about how to tell his wife all that happened today.
     "Jason! Jason! We found him!" someone was knocking at the door,telling Jason this news. Jason ran downstairs and opened the door as soon as he heard the news.He couldn't sleep last night because his mind was full of Cliff, he was regretful. "Where is he？” Jason asked his neighbor worriedly. The neighbor sighed, and told him that they found Cliff in the woods in the early morning today. Jason burst into tears and he couldn't believe what he has heard. "No! No! Please! Tell me that you are lying!" he shook his head. “ You hit him too hard yesterday, and the vet said that it must because of too much coming from the wound." the neighbor said with sympathy and he continued, " Have you ever heard that when dogs know that they are dying, they will seek for a place to hide, so let their master won't feel sad for them and his master will only remember the happy times with them. How considering!" the neighbor lamented. Jason couldn't say anything, he tried to remember the time that he and Cliff played in the park, they met his wife, he took good care of the house. "The police said that the blood in  Cliff's mouth was the thief's, they will get him very soon." the neighbor and Jason was standing at the place where Cliff laid on the ground. "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry！Cliff, please forgive me! I should have trusted you, I should have go with you. I should....." Jason broke out in tears, he sat beside Cliff's body. "Buddy, thank you so much, Daddy is so sorry, and Gabriel...I will protect Gabriel in the future. That's also what you would like to do right buddy? Be a happy angel in the heaven, my brave boy......"
