Chapter One of four,
What incense can do to a poor detectives mind…and flat!
Do you ever have a strange dream before in your life?
I mean one of those who you cannot tell later if they where reality or only dreams?
Leon Orcot had once such a dream, with his most favorite criminal into it…in the end he awoke from it with an empty magazine and had shoot an already dead beast.
Even now, months later the poor detective could not really tell if it all had just been a dream or really more. The man swore under his breath, Leon was sure that not all of it where just an outcome of his imagination!
D did all to make him believe so but the instinct of the cop told Leon something completely different all the time. It must have been a side effect of this stupid incense, it must have been this; or alternatively, he was going insane and believed suddenly in fairytales!
Even now, on a murder crime scene, his thoughts of this strange event did not leave the cop alone.
Here, in the rooms of a former brilliant Novelist and now dead novelist, even here he could smell the incense the pet shop owner always used in his shop.
The smell remind Leon of his still open case of that night long ago; to explain completely what had happened there, in the museum.
His fellow detectives where long gone, Leon was the only one here now.
Suddenly his left hand hit a formerly closed carton in that the novelist must have put the incense all the time. Until he needed it to burn it for his pet as his contract told him to do so. Leon had seen the contract, just as always, D had a good cover for the dead time of the man and a contract for Leon to read…. sometimes the man hates his live!
How it comes that the Chinese shop owner always seem to know when he was about to ask him something about one of his cursed pets?
With a sight, Leon gave it up for now and tried to put the incense back inside the box with his hands. Something like this could only happen to him!
With each following second the man began to feel more dizzy and tired, just like he did it before in the museum with D.
When Leon shortly closed his eyes to rub them back to awareness, it happened.
From one second to the other the cop found himself back in a strange place. A place he never saw before in his live or even in the TV!
It was a Forrest.
The threes where so high, Leon could not see the end of them!
Everywhere around him where threes and wildlife, what the hell had happened?
The cop wandered around in the strange place for hours after that, every now and then he asked himself if he would again awake later and would never could prove it that he was ever here. Like he could not prove it the last time.
The strangest thing about this Forrest was, it gave not a single animal here as it seemed!
Not even a mouse…it was like only the threes where there and nothing else.
Suddenly a chirping sound to his left let the police officer freeze in mid-step, what was that?
When he turned to the noise, Leon saw something that made his stomach turn and brought him on the edge of vomiting in mere seconds.
In the center of an opening in the thick woods, lay a nest like thing on the ground. Inside of it sat two young and helpless looking birds-like creatures and they had made the heart wrenching chirping sound that brought him there.
Next to them lay a much bigger version of the child birds, dead as nothing else…or so it seems to him at the first look.
In fact, it was still alive, but nearly unconscious. The only indicator the cop had for this musing was it that the big and huge bird sometimes shuddered as if it had big pains all the time. When Leon came slowly closer, he saw that hundreds of tiny ants looking things run over the open skin and flesh of the poor beast. It hit him suddenly that the creature was eaten alive from some killer ants!
Right next to its nest, to its young!
Without to think about it twice, he jumped forward and snatched the younger birds out of their nest, ispectet them if they had some of these ants on them or not and put them into his jacked. Then he jumped back into the bushes, it made no sense to try to rescue the mother. He knew, for the big bird was already too late. Gulping the normally calm cop saw the poor beast look into his direction, with eyes that where only socked holes. Finding his voice, Leon told the bird not to worry about the two young of it, that he would take care of them for her…and that he was sorry that he could only help her this way…. then he closed his eyes and shoot the beast right between the holes that once had been her eyes.
He turned around after some moments, after Leon was sure enough that the beast was no longer alive. Tears streamed down his face, but he did not feel them running.
His retreat from the cruel scene was a silent one.
The two birds in his
jacked staid quite all the time.
They never even moved
or tried to hack after him, just sat there inside the warm and fuzzy
place and tried to take his scent to their memory.
To
the little ones, he was now their new mommy.
Leon not aware of their
way of thinking about him, looked more closely at them.
They
had reddish feathers; looked more like overgrown hawks as anything
else and in his opinion both were not the most beautifies birds in
the world.
Strangely enough, he
found out he did not care at all how they looked to him or someone
else to Leon they both looked wonderful. Leon only cared that they staid alive!
He had seen bones around the nest.
His mind combined out of this and some other signs for it, that these birds where flesh eater and hunter. It made sense; their mother had been a huge bird! More looking like dinosaurs as birds and thus that both would grow as big as their mom. He remembered suddenly that he had seen a bird like that before in the museum. When he read the cards not fully wrong, these two had normally to be extinct from earth! So, why did they still live?
Mindlessly
Leon began to coo at the two bird babies inside of his jacked and
tried at the same time to bring as much distance between them three
and the killer ants as he could manage.
His
fine instinct told him this was better so…
Suddenly the world around him became foggy again and before he knew it he began to feel light and strange. For some longer moments this effect was all he could feel, that and the two young birds in his jacked.
Then as suddenly as one world around him had vanished, a new one appeared right out of the foggy sensation.
After a short check on the two slightly angsty birds he became aware of it that he now was in a savanna looking place.
Right in his eyesight laid a seemingly fresh cadaver of a creature Leon never saw before. It was huge, and looked surprisingly enough like a huge bear mixed with an opossum. It had a long nose; sharp looking claws and was nearly bigger as a normal tree!
What the hell was that thing!
A sudden squirming inside of his jacked made Leon clear that the two must have smelled the blood of the dead creature and so, after some seconds of thinking he went over to it and began after a while to feed the two with parts of its flesh.
All the time he kept a close eye on his surroundings, it could always be that the hunter of that beast came back to finish its meal.
Leon did not want to meet something that could kill a beast like this!
After a while the two refused to eat more and he figured that they where stuffed enough for now. Putting them back inside of his jeans jacked, he stood and took some of the flesh with him for later use.
Then he wandered off to find out were he was now.
It was unnaturally hot and from time to time he saw big beings in the distance. All of them looked like if they had sprung out of a history book to become alive!
He even saw a mammoth like creature one time! When the cop went around a stony corner again, he practically stumbled nearly over the beast behind it.
It looked like a bigger tiger, mixed with a lion of some sort. Big k9´s that seem to have the size of sabers made him jump in the air…he knew this kind of beasts!
Saber-tooth, yes that had it been what D had called it. The beast did not move and simply starred right through the cop.
Fist Leon thought the proud creature was dead, but then he realized slowly that it was only out of it for now. The beast had a big wound over his left ribcage and a swollen belly; in Leon's opinion it should have been dead by now!
But it was not dead. He saw the big cat heave up his head and heard it whine. The flesh came back in his mind. He figured it must be very hungry, not able to hunt for itself in this state.
The cop gave the beast all what he had with him and went then back to the place from before to get even more.
This repeated itself for a few times before the beast was full and his new children who woke up in the meanwhile where also full enough to stop their hungry chirping.
Leon looked around for something with that he could transport some water to the hurt beast. He found a thing that he could use for it in the nearby bushes. The hard fruit looked like a nut, after he cleaned the innards out Leon used it to bring the beast water. It gulped all down what he brought to it until it seemed content for now. Then the Saber-tooth went to sleep.
Leon used the rest and a full nut later to to clean the beast in its sleep and then bandaged it up with parts of his shirt. He knew the smell of blood would otherwise attract some other meat eaters sooner or later.
After that, the human curled up in a tightly ball and after cheking on it that it would not eat him and the young in the meanwhile he slept, Leon fell asleep.
A loud noise awoke him not much later from his slumber.
The noise came from a strange group of animals he never thought he would see alive!
Rubbing his eyes several times, Leon took unbelievingly in that he woke up in the middle of a bunch of …baby mammoths?
The man groaned deeply in his throat and slapped his hands in his face, what the hell was going on here with him? If this kept up to happen, Leon realized , he would end up with the strangest zoo ever in the end!
To make his live even more complicated as it was allready now, he could nowhere near to them all see a mother or such of the 4 baby mammoths! That could not be! Where the hell went their mothers?
Suddenly the entire scenery began to shift again.
He found himself back laying on the ground of the park near the apartment complex of the Novelist have lived in, with a horde of strange animals around him; that seem to have chosen to stay with him wherever he went, in the middle of the night!
All Leon could think now was one single letter.
The letter had a Chinese looking face, wearied Cheongsams all the time and had sold the Novelist the animal and that incense too.
The very same incense that had brought him into this mess now!
The letter was; D!
Swearing under his breath all the way long, Leon gathered the babies in a bee-line and prayed to what ever god would listen to him now, that no one came accross his way back home!
To get the Saber-tooth, Leon recognized to be a pregnant female of its kind,( oh joy!) into his apartment was rather easy. Compared to the task to get 4 little baby mammoths (that strayd all the time from their way!) up the stairs of his apartment complex and then to his flat and then inside of it in one piece!
Cursing all the way over there, Leon somehow managed the unthinkable and got all four of them healthy and in one piece where he wanted them to be.
Slightly wondering over the fact that his flats floor had not broken in from the weight on it already!
Not to mention that he did not want to know what had happened if someone had seen the strange menagerie he had in tow when he went from the park to his apartment complex!
On his clothes hung still some dusk of the incense powder that´s smell reminded him all the time of his dilemma.
...Dilemma began with a letter! D!
The
cop searched for his phone in the chaos of his flat with a murderous
gleam in his eyes, a certain /friend/ of him had some exsplainings to
do this time!
And this time, Leon would not let him get away with one of his lies!
D awoke from the ringing of his phone in the middle of the night.
He had no clue what person this could be at this time! Shaking it off D took the receiver and said his little text…only get interrupted in the middle of it all from the, all too, sweetly sounding voice of the detective he always loved to tease and who told him even more sweetly that he would come over to his pet shop with a bomb in his jacked and would blow the entire place into little tiny pieces if D would not hurry his ass over to his flat into the next 20 minutes.
D was speechless for a moment at the tune and way Leon spoke to him, the cop on the other end of the line gave the man no time to regain his wits and told him to bring something with him with that he could feed 4 baby elephants of some sort, a over grown pregnant tiger or what ever it was, and two very hungry birds of the size of a grown hen that ate only meat. Or he would go and feed him instead to them.
Then Leon had the nerve t hung up….
D
could only stare for some seconds bewildered at the phone…what was
that? Had the cop a drink too much this night?
Then
he remembered the strange noises in the back round of the officer's
call. Blinking he took slowly in that they indeed had sounded like a
pair of birds, a bunch of baby elephants and a tiger growl…!
Now the shop owner was a curio, what in the name of all goddesses D could remember of in the moment, had Leon there in his flat!
And why did the man told him to bring such a strange list of supplies with him?
Confused and for the first time in his live utterly lost, D just did what the detective had told him and even managed it to arrive at the apartment of Leon Orcot within the 20 minutes the cop gave him to come here.
Still he could not explain it why he did so, but something told D that he better did it!
The door opened slowly to give way of the detectives face.
" Oh, D how nice from you to come here! And even in time, I really hope for your own sake that you have brought with you what I have ask you for or I really will feed you instead to them!"
Without another word Leon grasped D by his wrists and dragged him inside his rooms.
"Leo…..! …?"
D never ended the word.
For several moments, the normally so calm and collected pet shop owner just stood there and stared at the strange sight in front of his mismatched eyes.
Mouth open wide and his eyes even wider, the Chinese man could not believe he saw!
With a loud; thud; D plopped graceless for once down on the nearby sofa and tried to get into his brain that all what he saw was REAL!
The amused voice of his detective brought him finally back to reality.
"Hey D, where have you packed the meat into? My babies are hungry!"
All D could do from that second on was to gape at the blonde at this unsuspected news.
Shrugging at the unbelieving look he received from the other man then it off for now, Leon just went on with his search for the meat alone. he figured that he would not get some answers soon from him for now.
After all, the two where really hungry and he did not give his word away without to hold it in! What reminded him; the two babies needed a name.
End of chapter one of four.
