Big ones too!"[/i][/color] The two huge wolves leapt down from the rooftops and immediately began chasing us. They were bigger 'n faster than I'd ever seen! The two of 'em shouldered aside other wolves that were chasin' us and one of 'em leapt up onto the van. I felt the damn thing rear up on its back wheels before coming back down! Fuckin' A we were in trouble now! [color=lightgreen][i]"Andy! Next right!"[/i][/color] Wordlessly he complied. The sudden swerve of the van made the big wolf jerk to one side, but he stayed put. I got out of the window and leveled my shotgun at him. [color=lightgreen][i]"Didn't ya hear, ya dumb sonuvabitch?! No dogs allowed!"[/i][/color] I squeezed the trigger and the shotgun bucked. It spat silver buckshot straight at the wolf, makin' it howl in pain as it released the van and tumbled right off, falling behind its brother as we left it in the dust. In the distance I saw it stand back up, clawin' uselessly at its face, and smirked. Silver was a bitch, ain't it lil' doggie? The van shook. The other wolf had latched onto the back and was in the process of tearin' the back doors to pieces. I got back into the van and turned around just as the big thing got into the back, howling and roarin' as its claws tore into the back paneling. I heard Andy yelp as he swove to avoid a wolf in the street, his eyes glued to the road. He gave me a glance as the wolf behind us howled again. [i]"Kiddo please tell me that's not a werewolf in the back of the god damn van."[/i] I saw the panic in his eyes. Had ta do somethin'. [color=lightgreen][i]"It's not, Andy. Take another left, then head to the end of the street. It's a cul de sac. We'll fight 'em there."[/i][/color] Quietly he nodded and swerved round the next corner. The wolf behind us slammed against the side of the van with a confused yelp, which was when I leveled my shotgun at the back panel. [color=lightgreen][i]"Might wanna cover ya ears, Andy. This is gonna get loud."[/i][/color] [i]"Don't you dare you motherfu-"[/i] I pulled the trigger and racked the slide again and again and again. The gun roared and bucked as silver pellets tore through the thin metal paneling and into our uninvited guest. The thing was big enough to occupy the whole back cabin, thank fuck, and it yowled in pain and staggered backwards, teetering on the edge of the van. [i]"Dumbass! Ow! Mother fuck! Jesus christ!"[/i] I grinned and peered through the holes in the back panel. Oh it was bleedin', it was bleedin' all over the place! But it snarled and glared at me in return. Oh it was pissed too. Excellent! [i]"Kiddo we're reachin' the end 'a the street, what now?!"[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"Jam the brakes, Andy!"[/i][/color] [i]"The fuck?!"[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"Floor it to the end! Then jam the brakes! I'm gonna end this motherfucker that's in the back!"[/i][/color] He grimaced and nodded. His foot jammed the gas pedal to the floor and we jolted forward as he sped up. The wolf in the back grabbed onto the sides with his claws, roaring as he hauled himself forward steadily. A moment passed. Then two. I turned around in my chair and braced myself against the dash. Andy jammed the brakes. The wolf shot forward and slammed into the back panel. I saw its face press up against the glass window. That's where I put my shotgun. [color=lightgreen][i]"Adios amigo!"[/i][/color] I squeezed the trigger and the shotgun roared. Glass shattered as the full shell tore through its head, splattering it all over the inside of the truck as its roaring stopped instantly. We were at a stop now. The wolf corpse slid to the floor as I racked the slide of my shotgun. Empty. Behind us I could hear howls. With my free hand I started jamming shells into the shotgun while kicking the door open. [color=lightgreen][i]"Andy!"[/i][/color] He was already out and by my side, pulling the door open to help me step out. His Typewriter was in his hands, cocked and loaded. I got out as I finished loading my shotgun, and I racked the slide as I turned to face the entrace to the cul de sac. This street was an old neighbourhood. There were apartment blocks all around us, but the cul de sac had a little park and a playground for the kids that I knew attended a preschool just a block down. After all, I'd lived here once. [color=lightgreen][i]"You okay, Andy?"[/i][/color] He looked at me and scowled. [i]"You are a [b]fuckin' maniac[/b], y'know that Kiddo?"[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"So are you for followin' me, Andy."[/i][/color] He sighed and straightened his hat. I drew my coat around myself as he faced the street. [i]"So, what now?"[/i] I looked at him and grinned. [color=lightgreen][i]"Remember the Alamo?"[/i][/color] He groaned and shook his head. [i]"Aw fuck you, Kiddo. Fuck you!"[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"Ah don't worry 'bout it, Andy! We've faced worse!"[/i][/color] [i]"Since when?!"[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"Since now."[/i][/color][/indent] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/BzTNXgP.jpg[/img][/center] [indent]I gaped as I listened to Kiddo. What the fuck?! [i]"Since now?!? Kiddo what the flyin' fuck?! Are we fuckin' wingin' this?!"[/i] He looked at me with that maniacal grin again. [color=lightgreen][i]"Yep."[/i][/color] [i]"I- Bu- How the fuck can you be so calm?!"[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"Hey, that's not the Andy DiMaggio I know. Who the fuck are you and what've you done with Andy, eh? Hehe."[/i][/color] He chuckled and I sighed and shook my head. Same old Kiddo. Never did know if he was ever bein' serious about anythin'. [i]"Well, at least we're armed to the teeth, Kiddo. Got that goin' fer us."[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"Yep."[/i][/color] I glanced at him. [i]"So, how we gonna do this? There's at least eight of 'em back there, and one of 'em's real pissed that you shot it in the face. And he's a big motherfucker."[/i] He shifted a little, gripped his shotgun tighter. [color=lightgreen][i]"Well I figure that big guy's already injured, he's not gonna be that bad a fight. We put him down first. The other, smaller ones, we take care of nice 'n slow. One by one. We focus fire, they'll start droppin' like flies."[/i][/color] [i]"Yeah but then how are we gonna get outta here once we're done? How are we supposed to know all the assholes here are dead?"[/i] He returned my glance. [color=lightgreen][i]"When no more of 'em show up. Then we'll know."[/i][/color] [i]"So fight til the last, huh? Fuck me, man. I really wish we had more help."[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"We do."[/i][/color] I cocked a brow and looked at him. [i]"Really? Since when?"[/i] He grinned and nodded behind him. [color=lightgreen][i]"Take a gander."[/i][/color] I looked behind us and saw three red lights peerin' out of the darkness, just inside the playground. I squinted. No...couldn't be. One of the lights flashed me in the eyes and I saw a hand wave. [i]"Are those...?"[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"Yep."[/i][/color] [i]"Since when-"[/i] [color=lightgreen][i]"The restaurant. I wasn't just gettin' food back there, Andy."[/i][/color] One of the red lights grew bigger as the figure approached us, and the man flipped up his goggles as the familiar face grinned at me. [color=pink]"Yeah, Kiddo called us a while ago. Told us to get set up here with some good gear, prepare for a big fight."[/color] I looked at Hurk, then back at Kiddo. In-fuckin'-credible. [i]"Do you have a plan for everythin', Kiddo?"[/i] He smiled and tipped his hat. [color=lightgreen][i]"Almost everythin', Andy. You should know me by now. I'm hurt that you don't!"[/i][/color] I shook my head and smiled. [i]"Fuck you, dumbass."[/i] Just then, howls echoed across the rooftops and buildings. Hurk pulled his goggles back down and nodded. [color=pink]"We got your backs. After that shit down at the power station, this ain't nothing."[/color] I nodded back and clapped him on the shoulder. [i]"Nice ta have ya again. Sorry for the trouble."[/i] The soldier gave me a thumbs up. [color=pink]"Hey, no problem, Andy. You saved my life back there. Least I can do is return the favour."[/color] [i]"Thanks."[/i] He left and I lowered my hat, turning back to face the street as the footfalls of the wolves echoed up towards us. Next to me, Kiddo shouldered his shotgun and grinned. [color=lightgreen][i]"Ready ta fight for our lives, Andy?"[/i][/color] I sighed and readied my Typewriter. [i]"You bet your fuckin' britches I am. Let's give these fuzzy fucks a [b]warm Santa Somabra welcome[/b]."[/i][/indent]
