Cockroaches

"Orion! Come on! Get it!" I shout as I watch a cockroach run across the living room floor. Orion's not sure what he's looking for and is searching without locking on to anything. Too slow, I think. I'm barefoot. I really don't want to have to step on it barefoot.
I grab the coffee table.
Pound.
Miss.
Pound.
Miss.
"ORION!" the cockroach dashes near Orion. He snags it.
"NICE JOB!!!"
We move his crate and one drops from his water bottle.
"GET IT!!!"
I grab the coffee table again.
Squish.
"HA! Two down!"
I satisfactorily pat Orion's head.
"I think we make a good team Orion."
He's busy licking his lips.
