Chapter 11


Jake became tired. He was not habitual to fly with three passengers. And in the cold air it was too difficult to fly.

"Are you okay?" Spud asked. "You look really bad dude!"

"Sorry, I need a break!" Jake said and landed near a highway in the deep snow. "Sorry but, normally I fly just with two or less people on my back."

Trixie took a bottle with water from her backpack and Jake drunk almost the whole bottle. On a highway sign near them, he could see that they were 60 miles away from New York. And it was 5.45am. They had around 2 hours before it will happen.

"60 Miles! We have to hurry!" Jake said and transformed into a dragon again.

"Before we fly, maybe we should try to call again." Frederick said. "I mean this place is far away from Pandarus 'area'!"

"Yes, your right!" Jake said and took his mobile. "Awww maan... I have no net here!"

The others also not. But a few metres away they could see a petrol-station, next to the highway. When the walked closer to it they could see a phone both outside the shop.

"Does anyone have tokens?" Jake asked.

"I have a few! Who knows the number of Draco's Island?" Trixie asked.

"No! But let's try to call gramps!" Jake said and called.

"Hello, this is the mailbox from...!" a voice said and Jake hang off.

"Mailbox!" Jake said angrilly. "And gramps doesn't know what a mailbox is! I try it at home!"

But after a few seconds Jake could hear the words from thier answering machine. "Also, nothing! But who we can call without that they will find out all."

"Let me call! I have a idea!... I don't need tokens." Frederick said and take the phone.

"Who you call?" everyone asked confused.

"911!" Frederick said. "Trust me! I have an idea."


At the same time, Frederick's parents walked with the parents of Jacob and his brother threw the valley, to the shack. When the both worried people saw the burning building they where afraid. After they arrived the shack, the both people entered it. The Buttersleeves heared them cry happily. After a few minutes they leaved with thier sons the shack and all start to walk to the car.

"Oh... my son... it's no problem that you are a dog!" the mother said.

"Don't tell him dog!" the brother said.

"Hey,... you told something above a much bigger disaster! What will happen?" the father asked.

"The man who is liable for that all, plans a big terrorisim-attack in Manhattan!" Mr. Buttersleeves explained. "Does you cell-phone work?"

"No! And all normal phones in our town also don't work! There is no chance to communicate... but... maybe... yes it could work!" the mother told and all walked further.


"...yes, it smelled like gas... this truck is dangerous I know it! But I really can't tell you the model, the color or something else above the truck. But I saw the driver..." Frederick told into the phone. Jake and his friends listened the story. "...yes, okay... thank you..." Frederick said. "They didn't believe me!"

"What?!" Jake shouted. "Okay, than we should fly first to the shop, maybe we can contact the others from there."

Jake transformed again and everybody climbed on his back. When he start to fly they could see the snowploughs on the highway. The most strees were free now. Officer Morton will arrive the city in just a few minutes.

"What dou you think where he is?" Jake asked his passengers.

"No. But is there not this golden thing, with that you can find other persons?" Spud asked.

"Yes, you're right! Let's go to gramps shop!" Jake said.


Jonathan leaved the building again and practiced the fairytale he have to tell his boss when the new clients will don't come.

"...sorry, boss, but this new clients called and told that they can't come because the weather is too bad... no that he will never believe..." he said to himself when he entered the underground car park of thier building.

The underground car park was 3 levels deep and was build under thier building and the towers next to them. When he arrived his car he saw the security-guard walking threw the garage. Jonathan greeted but the man didn't answered. When he stoped and turned, Jonathan saw how the man opened a electricity-box and start to cut the cables.

"What? Why does he do that?" Jonathan asked himself and could see the nail in the leg of the man. "O my gosh!"

When he start to sneak away, he could feel a hard punch on his head and all became black.


The Buttersleeves sat in the van of Jacob's parents and all drove to the little town in the valley. The injured boys were happy to be home again.

"And this evil wizard controlled you?" the mother asked.

"Yes, somewhere he knowed me! And awww.... that hurts!" Jacob said when his father stoped the car in front of a thier house.

"Don't worry we are at home!" the father said and everyone leaved the car. "Your brothers and sisters are sleeping, go to bed. But quiet. Maybe they should not know that thier brother is a werewolf."

When the man switched on the light they saw 5 boys and 3 girls waiting in the living room and start to scream.

"You are a dog?" they all asked.

"Awww..." was the only thing Jacob said.

"Okay, you explain them what happend... and we show you what we meaned!" Jacob's father said and the Buttersleeves followed them to the basement.

On the table was a old radio standing. From the military, maybe.

"That was a present from my father. From the 50s. It's still working. Sometimes I can hear the air-traffic-controller in LaGuardia. Maybe you can arrive a police-station or someone else." he explained and switched it on.

"Thank you!... Hello... hello... can anyone hear me..."


Far away in a apartment-building in the Bronx, a man woke up when he heared a voice in his radio.

"... Hello... hello... we need help!" the voice said.

"Yes, I can hear you!" the man said and start to write down what happend. "O my gosh! Are you sure?"

"Yes, and it will happen on 8am, maybe later!" Mr. Buttersleeves said threw the radio.

The man looked at the clock. It was 6.15am now. To less time to find out where this bomb will explode.

"Okay, I call the police!"


"Uhgg... that feels very strange!" Frederick told. "I mean, that feeling that I am a 'dog'!"

"I can't belive that you are a werewolf now!" Jake said. "Just a few hours ago the concil told me that you are allowed to be a human-supporter and now..."

"What do you mean?" Frederick asked confused.

"Well... because you helped me very well on the island... the concil said that I can tell you the truth, because you forgot everything, and that you can make the same job like Trixie and Spud." Jake told.

"Do you mean, I would wear that strange fire-fighter-suits?"

Trixie annoyed again. She forgot totally that she weared a uniform since hours.

"Thank you, Frederick!" she said.

"May we talk later above that? Look there is New York." Spud said and pointed on the city.

When they flew above the Bronx, they could see that the city slowly woke up. The people start to go to thier work. And the traffic became more. Trixie took her cell-phone, but there was still no net.

"That's strange! Like our phones are all broken!" she said and layed it back.

During Jake began to land, Spud saw a little place with fur in Frederick neck.

"Emm... Frederick, you have there something!"

"Aww..." Frederick annoyed. "Jacob have to tell me later, how I control it totally."

"I also had to learn it!" Jake told when they land behind the shop and transformed.

Everyone entered the shop and all where surprised. The door was unlocked, and the light was on.

"Gramps?" Jake yelled. "Are you there?"

"HANDS UP!" someone shouted and than someone shoot with a gun. All where afraid when the person shoot a second time, and all took thier hands up. A few seconds later Brad entered the room, with his fathers gun in his hands.

"Brad?!" everyone said shocked.

"Shut up! Where is my father you monsters?" Brad asked angrilly. "And don't lie to me, I have 4 bullets in this thing, enough for you all."

"Brad... take the gun away!" Jake said. "We don't know where your father is!"

"Really... and where is he? Since he told me that you are a monster and that you all have to do something with that... by the way, nice clouthes,... he disapeared. I found that documents and photos in his cupboard. Why you? Why did you have so much luck to get this powers?" Brad asked and hold the gun on Jake's head.

"It's a family thing!" Jake said short. "Take the gun away! We will bring you to your father!"

"Tell me where he is and what happend!" Brad shouted.

"Okay, I tell you all... your father was attacked by a evil wizard, now he is the bondsman of him, than your father helped him with some bomb-explosions in the mountains, and now he is on the way here to destroy a tall building with thousands of people in it."

"Do you really think, that I will believe that..." Brad said before Frederick interrupted him by a angrilly growl. "...ohhh... let me guess, you are a flying monster and he is your dog... hahaha..." Brad laughed above Frederick.

In that moment, Frederick became more angrilly on Brad than ever before. All this years of mobbing and humiliation... Frederick start to growl and to bark Brad. A few seconds later Frederick transformed and stood now as werewolf in front of the afraid Brad.

Brad shouted. Than he lift the gun to shot, but Frederick hit the hand and the gun flew away. Jake saw bloody scratches on Brads hand and arm. He start to run away, but Frederick attacked him again. Brad smashed hardly against a wall. Jake and his friends start to become afraid. Spud took the gun, which was laying under the table and start to hold it on Brad, who was laying injured on the ground.

Frederick still walked closer to the shouting Brad, who was full of bloody scratches and bruises. Jake transformed and hold his arms around Frederick.

"No... calm down!" Jake shouted. "Calm down! We know what he did to you! But he is not worth it!"

Frederick slowly calm down. But he still growl on Brad. The injured Brad stoped shouting when he saw that the attack was over. But still afraid when he saw a wolf who was bigger than him and a tall red dragon. He looked on Frederick's big teeths and saw his mirror image in the big brown eyes.

"Okay... all okay..." Jake talked further when Frederick walked a few steps away.

"I hate you, you stupid, selfish a..." Frederick said when he turned but than Trixie interrupted him.

"Calm down!" she said and start to handcuff the injured Brad on a chair. "Jakey, take that thing we need and than we have to go!"

"Oh yes right,... we delete your memory later!" Jake said to thier prisoner.

Frederick, who transformed back, was for a few moment alone with Brad. He turned to him and start to talk: "Brad... I will move away in a few weeks, so we will don't meet in future! But before I go, I have a hint for you: Be careful, with the people you torture!"

Frederick leaved the room. Brad, who was alone became senseless.

"Was that really necessary?" Jake asked a little angrilly.

"You know him!" Frederick said.

"O... yes,... I understand! Okay, let's go and stop his father!"
