The Tales of Sorath (chapter two)
"What was that thing?" yelled Sgt. Johnson at his team once they were back at the base. "That. . . that. . . thing couldn't have been human, but there must be some way to explain why he looked like that. He must have been wearing a mask." Even if he was wearing a mask his legs would have broken as soon as he hit the concrete sidewalk." said Lieutenant Downs."At least we were lucky enough that he left some of his blood and some of his pets fur behind." "I might be the newest member of the team," interjected Corporal Hunt" but wouldn't we have found food and other things for his pet. Speaking of which did we even find any trace of animals other than the fur in his chair?" After a brief period of silence Sargent Johnson tells him " He could have taken it with him when he jumped. It doesn't really matter. I just hope the DNA tests come back soon. I really can't wait to know who this guy is."
" That is the last time I pick up a payment in my good hotel room."Sorath said while pulling glass out of his hindpaws and combing it out of his fur." Hey take it easy while pulling out that glass. I thought that you were told not to run with glass in your feet while you were still a human trying to get into the. . ." "Enough!! I already told you a million times, Jack, I don't want any of my teammates to talk about my past." "Alright, you don't have to yell. I can't believe that you are getting so mad at this poor little wolf for simply forgetting a small detail. I also can't believe that you are saying teammates to refer to me and little kitty-cat Delilah since you only work with us when it is a really big job." he said as he turned to Sorath with a big grin on his face." Jack watch the road. You almost hit that semi. And I really don't feel like being found dead in a car crash." "Fine, but you should be really glad that we never go to a debt collection alone. Wow look at the time. We have to hurry up before Delilah starts getting mad. You know how she is." "Yeah." said Sorath after trying for the fifth time to rip out a small sliver of glass from his foot,"Very punctual and can't stand people who are always late. Like me." "Just be careful with that glass when you take it out." After parking the car in the middle of nowhere Jack turns to Sorath" You know that we are running out of supplies don't you?" After getting out of the car and starting to walk away from the car with Jack he says "Yeah I do because when I went to replace the barrel on my sniper I saw that we only had one left. I also found out that we are almost out of my favorite Beretta rounds. Unfortunately I had to use my custom. Although I found out that you and Delilah had to use your customs as well. They are the only things we all kept from our pasts. So what armory are we going to raid, how are we going to get there, and when are we leaving?" "That is why we are having the meeting about three miles from here."Jack said as he got out of the car. As Sorath got out of the car he asked Jack "Robert is the one who ratted me out. Do you have any idea where he is?" "He is in the trunk." Jack said as he pushed the detonator on the C4 in the gas tank.
"Sgt. Johnson, come quickly, you need to hear this." "This better be good lieutenant." It is sir. First of all we have linked the same person you are looking for to at least twenty other murder cases over the span of several years and at least ten arsenal raids all over the country. We also found more fur in the air ducts of the last couple of arsenals. To be specific there were two different types; one black cat and one grayish white wolf.""So we are looking for three people. One owns a black cat, one owns a gray wolf, and one owns a red, white, and black coated fox. The last two shouldn't be hard to find." "The hairs had human DNA in them." "So what, it is cross contamination." "We could not find out anything from the hairs because the ones from the ducts were to deteriorated and the ones from the chair in the apartment did not have a skin tag. However we did get some DNA from the blood." "Well then who is it?" "We just put the blood into the machine so we should know in a few hours. Although the interesting thing about the blood was that it was one half human one half fox. However" the lieutenant said before the sergeant could interrupt him again "the blood is combined down to the molecular level. Nobody just put human blood and fox blood together they were genetically altered." "Could you just say that in English?" said the sergeant with an impatient look on his face. "You are looking for an anthro. I wish you the best of luck."
"We made it just in time." said Jack as he ran through the hangar doors."You sure did." said Delilah as she jumped off of the wing of the B2 stealth bomber. "Why are Soraths paws bleeding?" she asked as she saw the trail of bloody paw prints leading through the hangar door. " While I tend to his feet I need you to go and get rid of the blood trail he left. Be back here in one hour." "Ok then, bye." said Jack as he started to backtrack. "I swear," she said as she gathered her tools "a doctor has an easier job with his patients than I do with you two." she said as she started pulling out small shards of glass that Sorath could not grab." I have pulled out twenty feet of barbed wire, ten feet of razor wire, at least thirty fishing hooks and lures, birdshot, buckshot, slugs, glass, bullet fragments, whole bullets, and even one thirty ought six bullet from your arm once. I have had to set bones, relocate them and occasionally put a steel rod in them. You guys are way to reckless. You really should have been more careful pulling out this glass." "Yeah yeah yeah I know Jack already gave me the whole speech." "You're finished. I guess I should thank him when he gets back." "I am back" He said as he walked through the door. "Well then thank you for trying to get him to be more careful. Now come on we have delayed the meeting long enough." "First of all" Jack said standing up in the meeting room "what arsenal are we going to raid?" "What about the Picatinny arsenal in Jersey. It should be pretty stocked up on weapons and ammo." " Any opposition?" "Yeah" said Delilah as she raised up her hand "how are we supposed to get somewhere so far away?" " That was the next question, any ideas?" "We could take that." Sorath said as he pointed towards the B2 stealth bomber on the other side of the door. "We can use that to get there but we can't land it to get back on." said Jack. "We could ride it there and then use the Blackhawk to get back." said Delilah in a calm voice. "That would work. Ok now we just need to find out when we leave." "We leave tomorrow." said Sorath as he walked out the door. "Any idea who we are going to get to fly us there and back?" "Just get Bill to do it." Delilah said as she walked out the door to get prepared.
