#5 of Dogman


Well I sure have been getting a lot of messages, comments, shouts, favs, rates, and watches; thanks guys and gals I really appreciate all of it even though it's a bit overwhelming. I must say when I started this story I didn't think it would be getting this much publicity, but it has exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to get to the really good stuff...hehehe. Anyway as always enjoy!

As the speed of the car increases I hear the 3 in the back start to whine, Tairin looks at me with a worried expression "umm...this is a little too fast; you need to slow down now!"

With no emotion in my voice "don't worry yourself I've done this tons of times and am a skilled driver, I will slow down once were on the highway." I set cruise at 120 mph.

Tairin stairs at me with a death glare "how fast are we going?"

I smile and quickly glance over at Tairin and say "120 mph and that is 4 times as fast as your kind can go."

He narrows his eyes at me and says in a dark satanic tone "slow down NOW!"

I look into my rearview mirror and see..."I would love to but we have company behind us and I don't think they want to pass us."

They all turn around and look at the 2 2010 black suburban's taking up both lanes closing in on us about 1000 feet behind us.

I look at Tairin just as he looks at me "turn back into a wolf, so no one sees you if they go by, not that we would get very far with those 2 behind us."

Rhine looks back at me "so what are you gonna do."

I raise and drop my eyebrows quickly "well usually limiters are installed in this car, but I had someone specially remove it and they had to put something else in, anyway this car can go 140 +, but I've never gone more than 140 mph so this is going to get interesting."

Tairin looks at me like I'm nuts "what kind of idiot are you, if you go faster than your capable of handling then you could kill us all."

I quickly look at him then back at the road "yeah well what the fuck else am I going to do their gaining on us and I'm almost at 140 mph now, so if you have some other idea then speak now or forever hold your peace."

He thinks for a moment "can we go off road?"

I laugh at him "yeah that's a great idea, going off road in a LHS; this car won't last longer than a 1 minute out there on that harsh surface." I look at the electrical speedometer I had installed just behind the glass on the right side of my gauges ‘140, dam, I don't know how much more this car can take and with a quarter tank of gas left this isn't going to last long.' I flip on the MPG where the temperature usually is and it reads "3 mpg" ‘shit Hummers get better mpg than this...wait there's construction going on over by the gas station that I pass when I go running here, I can lose them there, hehe I know all the spots to avoid, the bumps, dips, and huge holes cars can fit in, they're fucked, I just hope I don't have to use the ramp.' I grin evilly "ok I got an idea, but you guys are gonna have to hold on and not scratch anything in the car...so buckle up."

In a confused tone "what?"

*Frustrated sigh* "god damn it, the straps on the seat connect them to the smaller strap just coming out of the seat."

They all look at me simultaneously and Tairin says "in our wolf forms?"

I roll my eyes "yeah, good luck with that" *chuckle* "in your normal dogman forms." I shake my head muttering how stupid they are under my breath.

They look at me weird, change into their normal dogman forms, and put on their seatbelts. After that they all start to shack. The female wolf is held onto by Rhine, so she doesn't get hurt.

I put on my seatbelt since I forgot it when I had more important things to worry about at the time. I look down at the electrical speedometer ‘dam 147 mph, shit I'm not going any faster, otherwise I'll blow the engine.' I set cruise at 147 and look into my rear view mirror. ‘There no longer gaining, but I'm not losing them either, there about 150 feet behind me too, a suburban can't reach that kind of speed even without the limiter, they can only go about 116 mph without the limiter, so I guess there using some new fancy engine, I just hope this works.' "Everyone hang on I'm gonna be making some sharp turns, even though this car wasn't designed to drift, I still know how to operate this car on a sharp turn." ‘I got a 90 degree turn to make so I'm gonna have to slow down quickly before they hit me...er us. There it is Ruterburg Road.' "Hang on" I slam on the brakes then let off when the speedometer lowers to 60 mph, then I hit the emergency brake right around the turn and spin perfectly going 37 mph. The 2 suburban's slam on their brakes and just miss me as I wiz around the turn ‘not what I wanted, but at least they have to back up and try to catch up with me, fortunately I don't have to make a turn going that fast again because that was too close, thank god the construction site is only a about 2 miles away now.

Tairin and the others stop shacking "that was insane you almost got us killed."

I smile "ALMOST is the key word there and besides, I had to take this turn because I'm going to a construction site to lose them."

I flour it again and quickly gain a 1000 foot lead on the suburbans.

"How far away is it?"

"Less than 2 miles now, don't worry I've been in there many times." ‘I've only been in there with my beat up 1997 Toyota Corolla and I always manage to get at least one new dent on the dam thing every time I go.' I look at my electrical speedometer and it reads 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150 mph. I set cruise immediately once it hits 150 mph ‘dam that's fast, shit the engine temperature is rising, oh god I hope we make it before it goes into the red. I hope this works.'

Tairin sees a bunch of dust being kicked up into the air in the distance "what's that?"

I look where the dust was spewed into the air "the construction site."

Tairin nods his head "oh what are they doing there?"

"Don't know, but that's where were going."

He looks at me and cocks his head the only way a dog can "why?"

*Chuckle* "to lose the bastards behind us, what else."

Concern forms on his face "isn't it dangerous."

*Chuckle* "yeah, no shit it's dangerous, but I can't have them following us all the way to Indianapolis so hang on...I don't know how a luxury car handles in a construction site."

Tairin turns his head back towards the construction site "good luck."

‘Yeah I'll need it...won't I...just a little farther' I slam on the brakes and once it's down to about 37 mph I push down on the emergency brake and sharply turn the wheel, then once I clear the turn I pull on the emergency brake release puller that's right above the emergency brake itself, and gracefully make the turn into the construction site.

Tairin grips the arm rests tightly and shouts "SHIT!"

The other 3 are howling uncontrollably.

I scream as loud as I can "SHUT THE FUCK UP OR I'LL LOSE CONTROL."

Rhine and the other dogman stop howling immediately and avoid crashing the car.

I look into the rearview mirror and see the 2 suburban's now following close behind me. "Dam how did those guys get so close." I look ahead and see a hole, a big hole. I speed towards it; just before I get to close I swerve around the hole, successfully. I look in my rear view mirror again and see the first one behind me go into the hole and hit the front of the hole so hard that the 2 people in front fly out of the windshield screaming. The second suburban escapes unscathed and is closing in on us. I come out of that deathtrap without a scratch on me or the car, yet.

Tairin was watching in the side mirror intently when they flew out the front of the suburban. "Why did they fly out of the car like that, don't your people have safety equipment that prevents that kind of stuff?"

*Chuckle* "yeah it's called a seatbelt; it's what's around your waist and upper body right now. Some people don't use it because they think it's not cool, well neither is dyeing, but they seem to think that the benefits outweigh the risks."

Tairin cocks his head and narrows his eyes at me "I don't understand that kind of logic and besides it doesn't even stand out that much."

I smile "yeah I know, I don't understand it either, besides the newer vehicles come with a really annoying alarm, if you don't put it on, it just beeps and beeps and beeps until you do it."

*Chuckle* "nice, but can you remove the alarm?"

"Pffft, I don't know, but one thing's for certain, those people that just took a flying lesson are dead."

Tairin smiles "I'm not surprised, but we still have one left."

I look back into my side mirror "Yep, we do, but I know something that will get rid of him."

Tairin nods his head "I hope so."

I take a sharp right and apply the emergency brake again. ‘I hope they still have that thing up because I don't know how else I'm gonna get this guy off my tail.' "Hold on."

I take a sharp left applying the E brake as I go into the turn and once I clear it I flour it again and head straight for it.

Tairin looks at me like I'm nuts "umm...you do know that there's a ramp in front of us...right?"

I look at him briefly with a smirk "yeah...now watch this." I look at my speedometer ‘103 mph, I need to get as much speed as possible because at the speed I'm going the tower crane will hit us and I need to change that or were dead.' I am less than 500 feet away from the ramp and I think I will make it. Just before we hit the ramp I tack one last look at the speedometer and it reads 145 mph.

At the same time I shout "SHIT" and the other 3 howl in the most beautiful way possible.

As we go over the ramp the tower crane just misses us as we go by and I take a look in the rear view mirror to see the suburban come off the ramp and hit the tower crane head on and smash into it with such force that the tower crane completely stops moving and slightly moves back because of how much force was applied. The suburban smashes against the crane so hard that the front is pushed back where the 2 front seats are killing anyone in the front, then after the impact the back part falls, hits the ground, and crushes the back end killing whoever was in there, then tips over backwards and hits the ground with a thud. We hit the ground with a loud crashing sound and from the sound of it the car got pretty fucked up underneath. I slow down, get out of the construction site quickly by getting back on the road then look at everyone to make sure there all right, and notice that there all shacking. With a sad voice "were fine, for now."

Tairin turns his head slowly still shacking. "FINE! That was stupid, I can't believe were not dead, and what do you mean "for now" I thought that was the last one."

*Chuckle* "well for starters this car isn't going to get us to Indianapolis because it's damaged underneath. Also the engine temperatures going up, so I need to find a auto repair shop immediately or the engines gonna be really fucked up, and do me a favor and change into your wolf forms so no one stares...too much."

Tairin looks back at the others and they all nod. They take off their seatbelts and change back into their wolf forms. Tairin then looks at me "so how long is this gonna take, like 5 minutes."

I laugh so hard I start to cough while banging on the steering wheel "are you fucking kidding me, this will take at least a day if not more." I reach into my pocket and take out my cell phone and call the operator.

Tairin looks puzzled "isn't that dangerous?"

"Yeah, but this is an emergency."

Tairin nods his head, satisfied with the answer. "So tell me...where will we be staying because I doubt we will be staying in the car since it needs work."

The operator comes online "yes what can I help you with?"

Tairin comes closer to hear her.

I ask "I need to know where the closest auto repair shop is and it needs to be close to a hotel or motel...whatever just some place that excepts dogs" I look over at Tairin then back at the road "big dogs."

The operator pauses "umm...what do you mean by "big dogs" sir?"

"Um there wolves, but they do anything I say." ‘Come on think of something; think of something...oh got it.' "I'm a dog trainer and I go around showing people that I'm good enough to train not just one wolf but 4 wolves to do anything I ask."

The operator stammers "o...oh I...I see well hold on."

*Sigh* ‘shit I hope I didn't blow it' "ok."

1 minute later the operator makes some commotion and I can hear her moving back into her chair "I'm sorry sir, but the closest auto repair shop is nowhere near a hotel that accepts animals."

‘Wait I might be able to get this to work.' "But is there a hotel or motel close to a auto repair shop?"

The operator immediately responds "yes, but they don't except animals."

"If I offer them double the amount they normally receive will they accept them?"

The chair creeks as the operator moves around "um I don't know you'll have to call them to find out sir."

‘Sweet' "can I have the number please?" I pull over to the side of the road and stop. I open up the counsel and pull out a pen and scratch paper then close the counsel.

"Yes are you ready?"

I put the pen to the paper "yes."

"Ok the number is 1...543...555...5674...and the number is to a Holiday Inn."

I write the number down *Chuckle* "only the best right."

*Chuckle* "yeah...is that all sir?"

"Umm...yes thanks good bye."

"Bye" the operator hangs up and the line goes dead.

I look over at Tairin and the others who are right in my face; I instinctively jerk my head back almost hitting my head against the window "what the fuck are you guys doing so close?"

They all move back casually. Rhine is the first to look at me "listening to what she was saying. Ya know, it's hard to hear her clearly through the...the...what is the dam thing again?"

I roll my eyes "a cell phone."

Rhine shacks his head understanding "yeah...yeah...that's what you call it, so yeah, were staying in a ho...tel?"

I nod my head "yes, I hope so."

Tairin takes over "so they usually don't allow pets...why?"

"Less of a mess that way, because animals are usually harder to clean up after than humans."

Rhine looks at me oddly then taps the alphas shoulder, the alpha nods, Rhine then looks back at me. "You are forgetting one thing?"

I raise my brow "and what's that."

Rhine smirks "you're an animal too."

*Chuckle* I shack my head "you know what I mean smart ass."

They look at me puzzled "What?"

I roll my eyes "it means you're being a smart asshole."

They all nod their heads understanding what I said.

I put the car in drive and start to drive off when I hear the engine making a sound of metal grinding together, but despite that I still keep going. "Umm...that can't be good."

Tairin looks at me and raises his brow "so how are you going to convince the hotel people to let you keep us in there?"

I grin "I'll offer them something they can't refuse?"

Tairin sits back in his chair "and what's that."

"I will start off with double the amount that they ask for, if that doesn't work I will go up to triple and so forth, you get the idea."

Tairin nods his head. "So where are we staying?"

"At the Holiday Inn."

Tairin cocks his head at me confused "it's a holiday?"

*Chuckle* "no" I shack my head "it's just the name of the hotel."

"Why would they name it that?"

"Probably to say that it's a holiday every time you come here, I don't know for sure, but that would be my guess."

"I see."

I look into my rear view mirror and for once there isn't anyone behind us trying to kill us, but when I look at the temperature gauge it says the temperature has almost reached critical. I turn off as much as I can in the car so I can buy myself as much time as possible. I look straight ahead and see the city the operator was talking about. As we enter the city I get this bad feeling, I don't know what it is, but it's familiar and I don't like that. It's like forgetting something bad, but knowing it was bad to begin with.

Tairin looks at me curiously "aren't you gonna call the hotel?"

"Need to find the repair shop, so I know how I long were gonna be staying at the hotel."

Tairin nods his head "Oh yeah, that's right."

I see the Johns auto repair and maintenance, pull into the small parking lot, and pull into a empty parking spot. I look at all of them "wait here."

Tairin growls at me. "You're not going anywhere without one of us, got that."

I roll my eyes "you and what army?"

He stares at me intently and narrows his eyes "the female might not be able to do much, but us three are the equivalent of a small army; you don't want me to make a scene."

I bang on the steering wheel a few times then calm down. "What if they don't allow dogs?"

"Then you better change their minds."

I shack my head, furious of what he's asking of me "whatever."

I get out of the car and Tairin follows right behind me. I shut the door once he is out then I proceed to the entrance. Tairin is right behind him as I opened the door to let both myself and Tairin inside.

The guy at the counter immediately looks up as the bell rings and frowns "no dogs."

I look straight into the man's eyes and can tell he's not kidding. "Well with the money I'm going to offer you, I don't think it will be a problem."

The man raises a brow curiously "What ya talk'en about?"

With no emotion ‘Here goes nothing' "I drove my car off a 15 foot tall ramp at about 150 mph and landed roughly, the car sounds awful. I need you to fix it in a day, is that possible?"

The man's mouth drops, but he shacks his head to regain his senses, them gives me that weird smile like this is got to be a joke "what kind of car do you have?"

"A 1999 Chrysler LHS."

The man starts laughing uncontrollably, "how the fuck did you get that car to go over 120 mph, dam that is fucking fast for a luxury handling sedan."

"I know what LHS stands for and I had the limiter removed it can go 140+."

He slowly stops laughing "well..." *chuckle* "let's go take a look at the dam thing" *chuckle*. We walk outside and go over to the car. "Dam how many dogs you got?"

"Just 4, now could you take a look under the car?"

He waves his hand at me "yeah...yeah...yeah..." He gets down on his knees, pulls out a flash light, turns it on, and looks around. "Holly shit you weren't kiddin were ya, you actually were going pretty fucking fast, dam there's a lot of bad shit gone wrong down here." He turns off his flash light and gets back up. He takes a deep breath and partially shacks his head "I don't know man this is gonna take a lot of work, probably 24 hour around the clock work, I'm gonna have to stop all my other work ya know."

I look over at the garage that's wide open and notice not one vehicle in there; in fact the guys that do work there are playing a card game. *Chuckle* I point over to the garage "ya it sure looks like it, don't lie, in this economy no one is doing well, especially the automobile industry. Now what's the bare minimum price you would charge me if I were to wait the normal amount of time?"

He shouts over to the guys doing nothing "HEY GET BACK TO WORK DAMMIT WHAT DO YA THINK I PAY YA FOR, PLAYING CARDS ALL DAY. I'm sorry about them there not the smartest, but with cars they can fix anything. Now about that price...umm...about $3,000."

That number hits me hard "okay I'll give ya $4,000 if you can get it done by tomorrow when we come back."

"5 and it's a deal."

I narrow my eyes ‘oh you bastard, what do you think I am a money tree' "fine, but if it's not done by tomorrow when we come to get it, you only get 3 got it."

The man nods his head. "Don't worry sir we'll get it done on time don't worry, but just out of curiosity what time will you be coming back?"

"Noon and it better be done."

"It will, don't worry sir." He extends his hands wanting the keys.

Before I give him the keys I ask "hey what's your name?"

He smiles "John...what's yours?"

I give him the keys and go back the car and get the wolves out "Adrian Vien, let's go." I turn around and start walking over to the Holiday Inn.

As I turn John is shaking his head then calls out to his employees "GET THE FUCK OVER HERE WE GOT A BIG JOB, MOVE IT."

I hear people running over to him as I leave. I get out my cell phone and call the number the operator gave me.

It rings twice. "Hello this Hailey, manager of the Holiday Inn, how may I help you?"

"Umm...yes this is Adrian Vien and I would like to schedule a stay at for one night and possibly more."

"That's no problem sir, when will you be coming in?"

*Chuckle* "well...I'm less than 50 feet away from your hotel. I have a unusual request and am prepared to pay the necessary amount of money to make this happen."

"Oh...and what would that be sir?"

"Well I have 4 dogs, rough looking huskies actually and I need you to allow me to keep them here. My car broke down and they don't tolerate me leaving there site, please I'm begging you. They are well trained and would never disobey me unless someone tried to attack me and I assure you that will not be a problem. I will pay for any damage that is done by them I promise."

She pauses thinking for a moment "hmm...I don't think that is pos..."

"If I give you $500 will that be enough?"

"500 isn't enough I'm so..."

"1000, how about that?"

*Sigh* "I can't believe I'm doing this, okay, but you must promise me that you will stay in your room the entire time, is that understood."

"Yes of course."

"Okay, but your still gonna have to pay for the rooms so I will need you to come right up to the front desk, I will be waiting, do you have any luggage?"

"No."

"Good, then come on in."

"Okay, I'll be there shortly."

"Kay bye."

"Bye." I flip my phone down and put it back in my pocket. Then I walk into the hotel with 4 dogs behind me. The manager waves us over to the main desk.

When I arrive she points to the ATM to the right. "Get the money first then I will give you the keycard for your room."

I nod and walk over to the ATM ‘I can't believe I'm doing this' I put my card into the slot and asks me for pin. I punch in the 4 digit number and press enter. It asks me how much I want to take out. I press other amount. It asks how much. I type $1000 and press enter. It processes the amount and then gives me the money. I take the money, the receipt, my card, and go back over to the front counter where she is waiting. She looks around and hands out here hand, once she is sure she isn't being watched she hands out here hand. I give her the money.

"What kind of room do you want?"

"Basic room preferably ground floor."

She nods and types something into the computer "you're just in luck; we have just one room available on the ground floor, that will cost $90 for the night."

*Sigh* I give her my debit card. She runs it through the scanner and gives it back.

"Do you want the receipt?"

I nod.

She hands the receipt to me and gives me the keycard. "Have a nice day sir."

"I wish I could."

We head over to our room and get inside, after there in I shut the door and walk over to the bed, fall face first on it sighing as I do this. Tairin jumps up on my bed and sits by me. When the others try to come up on our bed Tairin growls and bares his teeth at them. The others back off and get on the other bed. I mumble "be nice" before I drift off the sleep.

After about an hour I wake up, sit back up on the bed, and Tairin sits right next to me in his Dogman form "are you okay?"

*Chuckle* "god you're an idiot, no I'm not okay and ya know why because I'm spending half my money on this shit and I'm completely exhausted and hungry."

"Were not eating your people's food."

I look at him oddly "and why is that I thought animals loved our food."

"Primitive ones do, but they don't understand what it does to the body. It destroys the body and I will not allow myself and the pack to eat suck disgusting food."

"You read the article "The Worst Mistake In The History Of The Human Race" didn't you."

"Yes...I did, it is agriculture, and what it teaches is something incredible."

*Chuckle* "yeah it does, but what am I going to do about, I live around it all day."

"Did you know the average height of a human before agriculture became required in order to sustain humanity."

"Yes, a generous 5'9" for a man and 5'5" for a women."

"Okay, but do you know what their size was after agriculture took effect."

"Yes after a few generations the average size a man was 5'3" and a women was 5", I know that article well and am not proud of my peoples solution to sustaining a large population.

"That is just one of many examples your people..."

The door handle is shot twice and someone kicks the door open.

I look at the doorway *Gasp* "oh my god it's..."

Hahahahahaha you guys are gonna kill me for that one hahaha, I know who busted the door down to and you don't, I am so evil. Anyway that was a long chapter, but I enjoyed writing every bit of it. The next chapter is gonna be something that's for sure, so stay tuned. I can't wait to show you that one.
