Chapter Four
Wolf silently waited at the door, hoping that Panther would arrive soon. There was a knock on the door, which Wolf immediately answered. Panther didn't bother greeting Wolf, he just let himself in and looked for somewhere to sit.
"You hungry?" Wolf asked.
"Sorta."
"Good I ordered some pizza, it'll arrive soon."
"Allright."
There was a moment of calm as Wolf settled down on the couch again.
"So, what happened?"
Panther took a deep breath and spoke up; "Well, I told him that we needed to meet up for important business. We decided to go to his place on the other side of town. When we arrived, I told him the news, and he just flipped. He got violent, so I told him off and left. I think he's going to come after you."
"Well, that's not going to get me to do anything that he wants."
"Yeah, I just think it will only make the matters worse."
Wolf didn't respond. Panther awkwardly tapped his fingers on the endtable.
"So, how are you doing?"
"Well it's only been an hour and a half since we last spoke, not much has changed. I did nearly lose it about forty minutes ago."
"I never would have thought I'd see the day where Wolf O'Donnell loses it." He replied in a joking manner, he didn't make it sound like he was an insult. Wolf responded with a forced smile.
There was another knock on the door.
"Awesome, pizza's five minutes early. Panther, can you get the door?"
"Yeah sure." He got up and went to the foyer. As he twisted the knob, the door was thrust open by Leon. The feline was crushed between the door and wall. As Leon let the door close, he kicked Panther in the face, leaving a bloody boot mark on his head.
"And stay down!" He yelled.
Wolf jumped to his feet and stared right into Leon's irregularly shaped eyes. They looked like they were trying to suck his soul right out of his body.
"Leon, what are you doing?!" Wolf cried out.
"I could be asking you the same thing!" He shouted, twitching in a sadistic manner.
"Panther already told you! And being your leader, I dem-"
"Oh no you're no leader!" He said as he continued twitching. "No leader does this ! No leader backs out!"
"I am not backing out Leon! I need some time off! Why are you so ignorant?!"
Leon reached his breaking point. He lunged forward, and tackled Wolf to the ground.
The psychotic lizard began to pummel him with one punch after another. Wolf's face took each blow brilliantly though, being able to hold off the force coming at him ever second.
Then, without warning, Panther pounced on Leon, striking his head. Leon staggered for a moment, and was quickly grabbed by the feline and dragged to the door. He opened the door and threw him out of the apartment, quickly shutting and locking the door in the process.
Panther heard Leon let out a loud scream as he pounded on the door.
"STAY OUT OF HERE MOTHERFUCKER, OR I'LL CALL THE COPS!"
"Like I give a damn!"
"Fine I'll just kill you!"
"Oh Panther…you know I hate empty threats."
He took out his blaster and set it on stun.
"Have it your way."
He opened the door and fired a warning shot. Leon got up and immediately ran down the hallway.
"Now whose the weak one?" He thought
"…I thought so."
Panther went over to Wolf and saw he was in really bad shape. His eye patch was missing, and Panther saw that his nose and mouth were filled with blood, so he turned him to his side so he wouldn't choke on it.
"Wolf! Are you still with me?"
He was drifting in and out of consciousness, attempting to utter a word with no avail. It was at this point where Panther realized he too was bleeding.
"Wolf!"
"Wha…"
"Come on man, you gotta get up!"
Wolf coughed up some of the blood in his mouth and opened his eyes.
"Wolf…"
"What happened?"
"Leon."
He sat up for a moment and felt his face. Blood was smeared all over it now.
"You should really clean that off."
"Yeah…"
Wolf went into the washroom and turned on the faucet, splashed a little water on his paws and face, which made some of his wounds sting.
It's done…I can't take this anymore. Teammates that are so fucking useless and betray me…
He took a good-long look in the mirror, Wolf hated looking at himself without anything covering his socket but he didn't care at the moment.
I have to do this.
He wiped his face with a hand cloth and went back to the living room. Panther was wiping away the little bit of blood left on his head and saw Wolf. There was no need for words, Panther knew what he was going to say.
"Well…it was fun while it lasted…"
"Mhmm…"
"Hopefully we can still hang out every now and then."
"Yeah sure, you never really got on my nerves. But Leon, well…I don't know what got into him."
"I think Leon followed me here. If so, I'm sorry."
Wolf laughed it off and patted the feline on the back.
"You do have spare eye patches right?" Panther questioned.
"Of course I do."
"Good, cause I don't know how long I can bear looking at an empty eye socket."
"Easy tiger…you want to get kicked out too?"
There was another knock on the door.
"Pizza time." Wolf exclaimed
AUTHORS NOTES: I don't think that this chapter came out as good as I wanted it to end up, so I might come back to it at a later time. Oh by the way, if you havent checked back already, I revised some of the previous chapters a little to make more sense. They're very subtle changes but still changes. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying this, it's only going to get better.
