Thud! Thud! Thud! Palo's feets knock against the floor as he bounces to the middle of the red zone in majestic steps and ice-cool calmness.
"Relax guys. You don't want to hurt this people," Palo preaches to his men and then turns to Jackson wearing a grin, "They put food on all our tables." He scoffs and walks closer to Jackson, pushing his own forehead against his gun muzzle. "That doesn't mean you should ever disrespect me, Jackson!" His voice suddenly swifts to show rage.
In a sudden shift of moods, Palo begins to laugh again, nonstop. In the fifth second Jackson chuckles, coldly though.
In that moment, confusion quickly establishes its throne amongst everyone in the room, as they stand their ground wondering whether to drop their guns low or hold strong.
Still in the joyfulness of the moment, Palo gives Jake a handshake and then a quick buddy hug.
At this point the answer is pretty obvious, the men drop low their weapons and rather choose to observe in alert.
"Like always, your money will be ready when it'd be ready. Just keep my products coming," Palo whispers into Jackson ears and breaks the hug.
"Now where's Teddy?" Jackson asks in his normal harsh tone.
"Who's Teddy?" Palo expresses confusion.
"Over here," From the shadows, Jake walks up to them in his new identity with Teddy, also flexing his new identity, on his shoulders.
"Where did he come from?" Jackson questions Teddy referring to the man on his shoulders.
"I found the asshole in the bathroom. Madafaka tried to rob me," Jake explains, his voice giving off an exact match of Teddy's.
Palo blocks him, "If you find a man in my club, you leave the man in my club."
"In this case the man tried to rob my man. He's coming if he says he is," Jackson opposes Palo.
Palo observe Teddy's mask face closely, "I've never seen this dude before."
Jake scoffs, "And you say you have security." He walks past him giving him a slight shoulder bump.
Palo turns to Jackson in slo-mo with his cigar in between his fingers, and stares at them in a disturbing manner.
"We good?" Jackson inquires.
"Get the fuck outta my club," Palo bounces away.
"Today's your day, enjoy it while you can," Jackson also turns to his way.
The whole crew follows, except for Bravo who stands still glaring at the men. Then in a few delicate seconds, he joins his men out the door.
Outside they enter the ambulance one by one all wearing serious faces inspired from inside the strip club, even Jake, along with the dead body on his shoulder.
Bravo turns to Jake with an eye expressing dislike for what his doing, "What're you gonna do with him?"
"You can't wait to find out, can you?" Jake replies sharply as he takes a seat opposite him.
Jackson chuckles quietly for a brief second.
"Y'all in?" Cybon, a built African-American around thirties, puts his hand on the steering ready to speed off.
"What'd you think?" Jennifer counters his question.
"Yep mam," Cybon kills the red. "The sardine buses are en route."
"That's good," Jackson gives off a sharp side smile.
"But we have one problem," Cybon suddenly keeps shut and gets driving slowly wavering his head to both sides in a dancing motion. He has headsets on.
"What...is...that?" Jackson asks in a calm yet agitated tone.
"Our canned food branch at New York are done with food production, but they haven't canned the drugged with em yet. Here's the problem," Cybon hits the brake of the blue surprising the bus itself with a sudden stop. He turns around to face the crew, "A cop on vacation is holding down our...hay delivery."
Jackson stares into empty air with eyes bath in awe. "How can one cop hold down a train! And how did he find out there are drugs on it?"
"It's a train on an abandoned railroad at countryside. Any cop would wanna poke nose into it," Cybon points out.
"Then I suggest you shut up and start driving," Jackson commands.
"Yes sir," Cybon replies playfully as he makes the bus's engine groan. He pulls the gearshift and the tires gain motion again.
...
A quad bike dives up and down the sloppy countryside sands of California, with it's engine revving off the melodies of a classic guitar countryside music, further enhanced by the cool wind blowing over the grass and sands like a rain of heavenly enlightenments.
The rider is dressed in familiar looking leather outfits, with a bandana made into a nose mask blocking full view of his face, "I can't believe the train is still in the state. It was suppose to be long gone by now." It's Bravo, Jackson's right hand man. He has a earhook pin to his left ear.
Behind him four quad bikes ride through the sand, tearing through the wind in the same fashion as him. They all have bandana nose masks on them as well as earhooks.
"This is not time for picking believes Bravo, if this cop gets a knowledge of our operation then we're blown," Jackson gains more focus and seriousness, driving up in a much greater speed. The wind rumbling with his head of short hair.
...
In the deep quite of the dessert, a dessert jeep is packed in front of a train at rest on the rail bed. A beautiful lady around 30's stands by the jeep in her bikini, netted coat, and sun hat in a gesture that tells she's exhaustedly waiting for someone.
Meanwhile at the center of the train, a dude in a cowboy hat and carton brown shorts stands by one rectangular bunch of hay amongst many, pointing a finger at it aggressively, "I'm not letting this train move until I've seen the content on it. I give you my word."
"This are hays. What else do you wanna see?" The beardy guy standing next to him gets mad alongside the motorman.
"A couple of guys transporting hays on an abandoned railroad. Yeah, I don't buy it," the dude in a cowboy hat utters staring them straight in the eyes like a cop in an interrogation room.
"Sweetheart," the lady standing by the jeep calls out to her husband. "Can we go already?"
"Something sells fishy here. I got to get to the bottom of it," his voice changes to a soft tone of concern.
"You promised you aren't gonna work on vacation," her body language shows extreme disappointment.
"Sweetheart," he voice falls as he walks to her no doubt to console her.
In that time the beardy guy leans to the motorman's ear, "We should just drop this dude already."
"He's a cop. The badge looks pretty real to me. And you know how the government gets mad when a cop gets murdered." The motorman disapproves with reason.
The beardy guy leans his shoulder near him again, "We're in the middle of a dessert."
After a few seconds of beef between him and his wife, the cop bounces up to meet them again, "Now where were we?"
Boom! A fire bullet to the heart drops him on the hot sand, face first. In the same instance, struck with the torture of intensified shock his wife screams out loud stretching every corner of her lips.
The two train drivers stare at each other briefly, then at him wondering where the bullet came from. Then the sound of quad bikes overwhelm the area. As always, it's Jackson's crew.
Screeeeech! Jackson drifts the bike and hits the brake, making the dust of dry sand rise over the area. With eyes squinted, the train drivers can see the manly figure of Jackson dismounting his bike and moving towards them. The whole crew pack their bikes around his, resting on them as they await Jackson.
The dust suddenly clears off and there's Jackson right in front of the train drivers staring at them in vividly provoked eyes, "You couldn't handle one man!"
"He's a cop," the motorman's voice raises slightly mostly out of shock and fear.
"So...?" Jackson walks towards the lady, the cop's wife. "What do we have here?"
"You killed my husband," the lady screams in tearful eyes as she charges towards Jackson.
She throws her hand in the air, launching a slap towards Jackson's cheek, he grabs her two hands, and as she struggles he throws her on the dessert floor. With this she creeps to her husband's breathless body and weeps beside it.
"Get in the train and drive. We'd talk when you're back," Jackson commands.
"There's a jeep on the railroad," the motorman points out.
"I'm sure you've heard bout the word ram." Jackson pulls out his pistol, and briefly his hands emit fire through it, blasting the woman from behind with a fire bullet, "No witnesses." He bounces to his bike.
Bravo pulls down his bandana and gives off a silent mischievous laugh staring at the dead couples as his crew rides away. Shortly, he revs his bike and joins them.
At the other side of the countryside, six quad bikes ride towards the horse shelter in good speed. In the following minutes, they ride into it and pack their bikes at one side of the wooden house."Is The Man inside?" Jackson questions one of the staffs who's combing a brown horse."I think he is."He and the crew bounce towards the underground elevator except for Jake who sits still on his bike in his disguise wearing a sad face full of regrets and retrospect.He just watched a couple die right in front of him and didn't do nothing. He ain't suppose to just watch a couple die right in front of him. "I'm a cop goddammit," Jake murmurs to himself in sharp anger."What was that?" Bravo questions him with eyes staring directly into his."Nothing," Jake replies briefly. "You didn't go with the crew?""I came to get you. C'mon," Bravo bounces towards the elevator.Jake stands up reluctantly and follows him. At this point it's beginning to dawn to him that this is the sacrifice he needs to
Struck by the sharp glare of death Jake's brain quickly floods up with ideas. He puts a leg on the steel table from his siting position and throws a backflip supporting his hands with his chair. As he returns to the ground he flips his chair up and hooks Megan through the chair with the landing velocity.With Megan trap in between the chair, at least Jake is more assurred that he ain't getting his neck twisted today, but the possibilities of that horror lay in great number all around him. He quickly races for the exit, taking an high jump that lands him on the stairs.Unfortunately, Jake is not the only one that can jump. Behind him Jackson's crew chases after him in their number, a stretch of a hand is all that separates them. Nonetheless, Jake has his way.He hurries up the stairs like a stopwatch counting 123 but rapidly, behind him the crew follow up close, jumping and chasing him like the stuntmen that they are.As he reaches the last of the stairs, he finds the dark hallway star
In slow motion Fredrick poses with a punch that's no doubt gonna blow on Jake's face. As he launches it, halfway, a large thick red fireball collides into him pushing him backwards.Megan and Elsa who were mostly relaxed to this point instantly regain agitation. They watch five Saint Soldiers (the SWAT force of the nation) as they bounce up to them in symphony with an anger-inspired grimace...They stand up to the three werewolves with no knowledge of who they're up against. Jake takes advantage of the unfolding incidence and creeps out of the way in haste, not even turning back one time."You've been found guilty of assaulting an officer. The penalty is life in prison," The commander of the five men squad announces to the wolves.Just then Fredrick stands up from the ground in rekindled anger, and wipes the dust off his chest stylishly while his dagger-like eyeballs are unwaveringly fixed on the saint soldiers.Megan taps Fredrick's shoulder calmly, "Get the spy. We can take care of t
"Yesterday," a voice from a speaker tells, "the streets were filled and minted with joy. But today, well today's different. The streets have grown scanty, for what once intrigued them as mere myth, lacking the ability to touch them, has unveiled itself in their reality, now with the full capacity to grip them where it please. Who invented the term werewolf? What led to its novelty?Are our minds extremely creative as they say? Or are we being deceived? For the mind, in its own right, feeds on what's real to fabricate fiction. If so, then what is fiction, and what is nonfiction? Is it a term designed to make us imagine our world as a much safer space? Why else do our parents tell us to stay away from forests and bushes? Nonetheless, it all doesn't matter now, werewolves are real.So when next you go to the market, take heed, stay on guard, for the man standing next to you, trying to act as nice as possible, might be a werewolf. Forbid your arms on this day for they will do you no good,
"...Forbid your arms on this day for they are useless, employ only your legs, for that, that only might save you some time before your doom connects," A voice from a speaker tells."Babe, how does it sound?" Kareem yearns for his girlfriend's opinion.They're both in beach wears, lying on the sand of a fine beach in a small island village. The sunset giving off a lovely sight as the evening breeze blows them calmly. They're the only ones around."You and your dumb podcasts. This one sounds good though," Kathy compliments. "But what if they ain't real, babe? What if they're just rumors?""Five Saint Soldiers down, plus a Blacky. How often do Blackies die in this country?" Kareem points out facts. "They're out there sweetie, but we've got each other.""Ohh, look who's being so nice to me today," Kathy teases.Kareem sits up, "What you talking bout? I'm always nice to you."Kathy curls her lips and blinks in a fine troublesome face. "Uh-uh.""Confess the truth. Confess now or I make you,"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Kareem yells as he and his girlfriend bounces on the same spot, in deep confusion of which direction to run to."Into the water, into the water," Kareem yells out loud as his brain realizes that it's gonna go down too if he dies.They quickly run into the ocean and swim further away from shore with the help of their water abilities, they're made faster than the normal human being.As Elsa reaches the seashore she pauses. Perhaps now her senses are back and she has realized herself. But what have she done? It definitely can't be undone even if she's prepared to give her life for it.This kind of act could endanger all her species, and being the Chief's daughter she should've known better. She stands near the seashore watching them swim away right in front of her eyes. She transforms back into her human form and falls down on her knees, with her chest bouncing up and down like her heart has added weight.From behind Charon and the rest of the werewolves w
...ONE DAY AGOInside a large meeting hall that has chairs arranged in circles like a coil sits a crowd of twelve people on the chairs in front, while a group of youngsters in the same number occupy the chairs behind.Though filled with many bulbs and gold chandeliers which radiate gold light on the room, the hall is still dim. Giving the impression of a cave full of glittering treasures.The men seated on the chairs are all in fine suits except for the youngsters who do themselves the luxury of heavy fashion. If you haven't figured it out by now, it's a gathering of nabobs, and this, is The Headquarters. It doesn't look scary does it? Well even witches can look good in ball gowns, can't they? One of them, Lord Harry, a native American old man around his late seventies who has a lot of white beards on his face circles through the coils and comes to take a seat on one of the chairs in front."We know why we are here," Lord Harry says as he takes his seat. "The werewolves." He speaks i
It's a sunny day in the forest. Brown, in his furry attire and a backpack on his shoulders ambles through the trees alongside his bodyguard who's hellbent on wearing a suit."So here's the plan, werewolves sniff good, right? They're gonna sniff two dudes walking through the forest alone. Then they're gonna come for us, right? You think they're gonna come right?" Brown questions his genius plan.His bodyguard ignores the question just walking beside him like he never heard it."So, when they come," Brown turns his backpack to his front then stoops down to open it. He pulls out a toy's carton and detaches it hastily. It's a drone designed in an all-green color scheme.Brown pulls out the remote and let's it fly. "When they come after us, this drone is gonna explode at the far side of the forest. Do werewolves even get distracted?" He puts a hand to his chin in wonder and looks up to his bodyguard who remains mute, looking away from Brown with no emotions. I guess that's his way of being
