Wolf’s Bane STAGE TWO
Riiiiing…Yes, the ring tone is actually the sound of a normal landline phone’s typical tone.“Good morning, my dear Left Hand. I truly hope it is really a good one for you since it is one for me, considering the recent success that you’ve earned,” the man on the other line enthusiastically said, his voice probably a pitch or two higher than his usual irritating voice.“Good morning, governor. I do believe that it is indeed a good one. And I’m glad that you’re satisfied with the status of the recent mission you gave me.”“Indeed, and I hope that you have learned your lesson regarding your issues of loyalty with me, as well. Of course, I believe you are well aware that I don’t just decide to do things without having multiple reasons behind them, correct?Hero thoughts: And here we are… finally, an admission. Yes, I am well aware of what you do and what you are governor, and one of them is that you can’t help but be extremely proud of your ideas that you can’t help but gloat when they d
Wolf’s Bane STAGE THREE
“Not that kind of past, Bro, but I’m glad you approve. And have you talked to The Chief?” “Yeah, and I was surprised that he wanted in so fast that he was the epitome of Superman’s tagline of ‘faster than a speeding bullet’... You really have to tell me his story someday.” “I will, but not right now, since I’m sure my new bodyguard/assistant, along with his sidekicks, will all be here shortly and though I surely want to introduce you so you can clear my name to him, I don’t think it’s the right time for that… yet.” “Huh? So, you know who the governor is sending over?” “I have a very good idea of who it is, but I think it’s perfect that Ed would choose him. As a matter of fact, I was counting on it. I guess now, I’m going to find out soon enough…” +++ “So, Nick…” the Governor was saying at that moment as he had another slice of his beloved carrot cake for breakfast. “I finally decided that it would be you who will be guarding and assisting The Ogre for the duration of his hospital

“And when they all fell down, she said, ‘Oh, so that’s what it’s for…’ Ahahahaha!”“Oh my gosh, that’s so funny, big sister! Teeheehee!”“Yeah, you should be a comedian, you know, hahahaha!”“Thank you, thank you, you’ve been a wonderful audience…”“Hey guys, good morning. That sure smells great... Uhhh, where’s Diwa?”The three kids, who were preparing a big breakfast in preparation for their new arrivals, turned around all at the same time and reacted joyfully - in their personal and unique ways - to The Charmer’s greeting.Of course, he couldn’t answer all of them at once since they did kind of speak over each other due to their over-eagerness and enthusiasm…“Hey, Eron! Just in time to eat! Did Orlando make it home safe?” asked the eldest as she arranged a huge serving of scrambled eggs on a serving plate.“Good morning, dude! We couldn’t wait for you to come home and we had to go to bed, sorry…” the middle child said, starting with a cheery greeting and then progressing to an apo
Wolf’s Bane TAKE TIME TO REALIZE AGAIN
Meanwhile, Eros was so shocked at how she was reacting, and at the last moment was very regretful of all he had said to her that it took him a while to get to his feet and start to run after her.Don’t fucking wolf speed! he screamed to himself internally as he started to gain on her. You shouldn’t give yourself away. Not now… Or fucking not ever!As Diwa pulled the screen door open that was shielding the still-open front door, she speeded through both doorways letting gravity and inertia close both of the doors behind her. And yes, natural physics did the work, fortunately for her.Unfortunately for Eron though because he collided with the screen door first and broke it in half while small bits of metal wires entered his mouth and nostrils almost blinding his eyes as well. Inertia and gravity also propelled him forward, after destroying the screen door, his forehead hit the Villa’s solid mahogany door, leaving a hairline crack that was about a foot long. “Fucking heck... OWWW!”We
Wolf’s Bane BAD GUY BLUES
“I cannot believe this! You’re telling me that there are more than half a dozen of you who were after the two of them, and they still managed to escape?“Yes, boss… we’re really very sorry…”“You guys are totally inept and worthless! And none of you even tried to get to Orlando’s house so you can talk to him and warn him about what he’s doing?”The men listening to their livid superior’s furious outburst couldn’t help but look down in embarrassment even though the man wasn’t even there with them. Oscar was holding his mobile in front of him, since it was on speaker mode, while everyone stood around the phone in a tight circle in the middle of the woods, about 10 meters away from the lumberyard property. Unfortunately for them, that’s the closest place they could go so that The Three Stooges could hold their little meeting without Jack or Pat going up their asses as to why they were still hanging around company grounds.Well, even if they had avoided their former superiors at the lumb
Wolf’s Bane MORE BAD GUY BLUES
“I get yah, sonny. So sorry I wasn’t able to help you and your sisters back then while I was still working in the city. But now that I’m retired, I’m glad that I’ll be able to help you guys now. Well, at least with bringing in renters to your place who I can assure you will love the cabin as much as you and your family Did. We promise we’ll take good care of her.”Orlando nodded, then suddenly spoke up as he and his uncle passed one of the closed doors inside the orphan’s home, “Speaking of which, Uncle Jerome, we’re still having a hard time… Packing up my parents’ stuff so we could bring them with us…”“I wouldn’t be blaming you. I remember seeing how close you kids were to your parents…” “Yes, so if it’s ok with you, do you think you can help us out by doing it for us? The boxes are already in one of the bedrooms, and we don’t know which of you and your friends are gonna stay there. But it would really mean a lot to us if it was you who could pack their stuff since I did find out f

“Hey bro, can you wait a bit? I just need to finish fixing this screen door. Kinda busted it last night when I got home.”Jack, who had just passed silently through the Oro Villa’s open gate, was taken aback by The Charmer’s statement. He immediately walked up to Eron who had his back turned, since the busy man was carefully painting something on the floor of the porch.“Whoa, how the heck did you…?” started the lumberjack boss as he walked up the porch steps, and then paused as he saw the former porch door split roughly in half - both wood and screen - lying at the other end of the porch. “Oh my God, what did you do to that poor door, bro? Looks like you did a piledriver on it or used a jackhammer.”“Something like that,” replied Eron in a slight monotone since he was concentrating on what he was currently doing, which was sanding the new door that he had just built from scratch. “Sometimes I don’t even know my own strength.”“Or your own skill. I mean you were able to tell that it w

“And what if you guys get into bigger trouble because Max makes a big deal out of this?”“If you have all the papers to prove your skill and competence, I don’t think Max will be a problem. Even if he brings his complaints to the Labor Department. Besides, he’s still the primary suspect in the recent accident that almost put Diwana and me in the hospital. If not for your presence of mind and quick save, I wouldn’t even know what would’ve happened then, bro.”“It’s my pleasure and I really don’t want to cause that much trouble for you or your business, bro,” sighed Eron as he put the brush and tray with the other tools that Jack had placed in the corner.“Bro, if there's anyone who has caused so much trouble for me and my family’s business, it isn’t you. Take my word for it. So, are you done?”“Yeah, I think that’s about it. What do you think?”Jack then took out his mobile and took a shot at the new screen door. Its very recent coat of varnish still needed to dry out, but as it was, i
