Eric stood outside the warehouse at 14 Magnolia Rd; he took a deep breath whatever Wolfe was hiding…was in there. Natalia's word flashed back into his mind.
His boss might go after your BADGE Eric your badge.
What if he's not dirty though Eric? What if you're wrong?
He shook his head to free himself from those thoughts he couldn't doubt himself now he had to go foreword. He slowly crept foreword. He could hear the low roaring hum coming from the close by highway.
No turning back now
He cautiously pulled at the door of the warehouse; he was surprised when it opened. He gave a cocky smile if they were too stupid to lock it… he'd just go right in. He opened the door a crack and drew his weapon. No sense in taking unneeded risks. He took two steps into the room, and nothing he exhaled as he realized he'd been holding his breath. Maybe he was at the wrong place there was no barking like you'd expect from anywhere that was serving as a kennel.
"You must really have a death wish."
He swung around but no one was there. "Miami PD come out where I can see you" he yelled keeping his gun at the ready.
"You're so pathetic I could cry," came the mocking voice again this time it registered as female.
"Ma'am show your self or I'll have to shoot!" He yelled getting nervous as he spun around yet again trying to locate her.
"Your little toy is a joke, I don't smell any silver. Though you could bluff your way through us did you? Or do you have any clue at all what you're dealing with?"
"I'm warning you! I don't want to kill you!" he yelled but he could hear his voice cracking as he was fought not to be at overwhelmed by the unexplainable terror he suddenly felt. Every fiber of his being was screaming at him to run away. He told himself that he was being stupid there was nothing to fear, he had the situation under control. Then why did he feel so damn weak and vulnerable? He couldn't even see this woman whoever she was wherever she was.
"You kill me? What a joke." Came the mocking voice again this time he realized where it was coming from. What the Hell? He jerked his head upward, it was impossible, but they say seeing is believing so why was he seeing it yet still couldn't believe it. She was hanging upside down from one of the steel beams that held the ceiling up, her brown hair handing down as she fixed him with her steely blue eyes an amused smile on her face looking like being suspended upside down was the easiest thing in the world. Her feet braced against the beam and her hands clutching the sides of it holding her up…he couldn't believe it.
"W-w-what…who a-a-re you!" he stuttered as he felt his chest constrict as a new wave of fear washed over him. "Oh god what've I gotten myself into" was the only though that came to mind.
"Who am I...? Hrmm doesn't matter you're about to die anyway…as for what. At the moment I'm your worst nightmare." And with that she pushed of with her feet swinging to hang vertically before gracefully dropping to the floor. Landing the 10 foot something drop like she only fallen a couple feet with an air of nonchalance.
Eric pointed his gun at her and pulled the trigger it struck her in the shoulder and went through the other side. He smirked thinking that he could handle this crazy bitch, but the he realized to his horror that the gun shot wound …was healing. The muscles and skin had already started to kit themselves back together. That was enough for him, he dropped the gun and bolted for the door, but a second person stepped out of the shadows and blocked his way.
"Quit playing with your food and kill it" The new comer said in a stern voice. His black hair was cropped shot and his bright green eyes shone through his dark bangs.
"K-k-kill me? I-I-I'm a Cop." Eric stuttered trying to back away from the black haired man only to realize that it only put him closer to the woman.
"I don't give a shit that you are. You're a weak spineless human; you overrun this earth like rats bringing a plague. You think you are superior to all life but you yourselves are so pathetically inferior and it's time we take what is ours by right of nature." The man answered
"What is your right?" Eric asked regaining some of his composure while trying to stall so he could come up with some sort of plan.
"Everything! We were not made superior to hide among the commoners. This world is our by divine right! Why else would we have been gifted with power enough to take it? Our time has come a new age is dawning!" The man shouted his voice rising to a fevered pitch.
"You do realize that you just told him our entire plan right Xavier?" the woman asked sounding slightly annoyed.
"Why not he can't stop us Ella." Xavier replied.
"No but we don't want him to find a way to tell anyone as we rip him limb from limb now do we? It wouldn't do to have a certain detective find out now would it? We'd lose the element of surprise, it he underestimates us as mere rouges we can easily kill him and have him out of the way." Ella answers
"And once that traitor Detective Wolfe is out of the way… no one can stop us!" Xavier finished his eyes shining. "But I still don't see why we didn't just kill him instead of warning him with the death message and that we've put a bounty one his head even though I fully intent to rip him apart myself for what he did to Severious."
"Wait, why is Wolfe a traitor to you! Is he in on this?" Eric asked hearing what could prove he was right. The Cuban was like a dog with a bone once he set out to do something he didn't let go.
"Because we want him to be nervous, and I'm not certain you could've killed him. He took down Severious he is not to be taken lightly…and as for your question human it is because he is one of us yet he chooses to go against nature and divine providence and fight on the side of humans!" Ella answered.
"One of you? What are you?" Eric yelled panicking again. He couldn't understand any of this…but the kept saying humans and one of us…. What was going on?
"Like I said before your worst nightmare, a new age is about to crash down on you and wash away the old, this is only the calm before the storm. We must prepare for the dawning of the new age, and to ensure the new age Ryan Wolfe and the rest of Special Unit 2 must die for they are your countries first and only defense again our kind." Ella answered
"Your time is up pray to whatever false god of humans you choose to believe in. Your death is neigh." Xavier said taking a threatening step foreword
"This has gone far enough." came a familiar voice from behind all of them. Ryan stepped from the shadow's he'd been hiding in watching the confrontation unfold.
"Wolfe!!" Eric exclaimed.
Ryan stood there head held high but inside his thoughts we racing as he reevaluated the situation. Fact one: These we no rouges, Fact two: they wanted to get Special Unit 2 out of the way, Fact three: they claimed to bring a new age, and Fact four: he was alone he'd gotten out of the car as soon as they were away from prying eyes and morphed and had run here as the proverbial crow flies before morphing back a half mile away before circling around and approaching from upwind so as to have the element of surprise.
He also realized that he had to make this the final showdown between himself and The Pack, what ever new age they were trying to usher in could be stopped or at least stalled if he defeated them here.
Delko or no Delko failure was no longer an option.
