Dark Intentions
The cavern was cold and damp. Snowflakes fell lazily from the dark skies; carried around by the howling, icily cold wind. Groups of men moved with so much stealth that was so uncharacteristic of the general populace. If anyone were around, he or she would automatically have assumed that something was seriously wrong and he or she would have been correct.
"Status report, everyone", came a soft voice out of the darkness.
"Team G749. A few bodies here, probably Sweepers and then there is the body of the large albino wolf. His head ripped apart."
"Anything else?" the soft voice asked. This time he moved into the light, revealing his lanky built. Large, black-rimmed glasses sat on a thin, equine nose. He pale face sported a thin moustache and he wore a long, crispy white lab coat over a black, pleated trousers.
"Up here Doc, Team S024. Some remains of the one I believed they called Markus. Looks like he met his end at the hand of some helicopter blades."
"Anyone else?"
"Nothing else Doc," the other teams responded.
The lanky man called Doc, made some notes on the clipboard he carried and then placed it inside the old-and-worn leather bag."
"Then call it a day. You know the procedure," Doc said at last.
"Gather and label everything and get it to the lab."
His voice, although soft, carried much authority.
"Yes Doc!" both teams responded almost immediately.
"I will be outside in the van if you should need me."
As he picked up his bag, he pushed his glasses further up his nose. He took one last look around the large cavern. "What a mess this is."
Phone ringing. Click
"Hello?"
"General Lynch, please?"
"Hold on." A silence follows.
"General Lynch." His voice was impatient and gruff.
"General, it is Doc. We found the bodies of the Corvinus brothers. They both were killed. We assume by the Death Dealer and the Hybrid. I suggest we take what we came for. How are things on your side?"
The General frowned. He was hoping to capture them alive. He knows that for Doc, dead or alive does not matter, but maybe he could have learnt a lot more if they were alive.
"We only found the corpses of the other two Elders. One at the abandoned warehouse. The Lycan Ruler was there too, his body filled with silver nitrate. The other Elder, bled dry at the train station."
The line was quiet for a while.
"Doc…?"
"Yes, yes, sorry General, please forgive me. I was lost in thought."
"Doc?" General Lynch continued, "Do you think you can do this?"
Doc smiled on his side, "Of cause I can, otherwise I would not have volunteered for this mission".
General Lynch was a man with experience, who has seen more battles than most, but still Doc made him uneasy.
"Keep the Lycan ready. We are bringing the albino. We will be there soon. Prepare the laboratoty for the procedure. We will do the Lycans first. I will complete the procedure with the Vampire Elders later."
Alarm Bells went off in General Lynch's head, but he was following orders. He did not always like his missions, but he always completed them, but he was not so sure if what his superiors and this mad doctor was planning was the right thing to do.
