A/N: STARTS THREE DAYS BEFORE THE LAST DAY OF SOPHOMORE YEAR FOR HUMPHREY

MCCABE'S POV/ SOMEWHERE IN AFGHANISTAN

It was a hot day. I had just woken up and I got my gear on. I went and got my food. I sat at the table were my squad was. "So what are we doing today?" One of my team members named Candu asked. "Just some patrolling." Another one of my team mates named Hutch said. The others in my group were wolfs that went by the names Claw, and Scar. I didn't know their real names, but I didn't care.

"Well if it isn't our fearless leader, finally awake." Claw said. "Yah, yah, yah, I get up late once and I'm getting crap for it." I said. We all shared a laugh. "So were are we patrolling?" Scar asked. "Just some small town about three miles south of here." I told them. "When do we need to report?" Hutch asked. I looked down at my watch,"in about thirty minutes, so get done eating, gear up and meet me at the usual spot." I told them. "Yes sir." They said. I loved being called that, it made me feel important. I am a Sergeant Major, Hutch is a Master Sergeant, Candu is a Staff Sergeant, and Claw and Scar are both Corporals. Are team mostly did patrols, we didn't really get to see any action. But I have been in a few cases were I've had to shoot my way out of a situation.

I finished eating and then left to get my regular supplies. I dressed up in my normal suit then went to the armory. There I got my usual weapons. A M4A1 ACOG scope, a model 1887 shotgun, and a USP 45. Pistol, all customized. I also have a non-military issued customized machete. Im not really supposed to have it, but no one seems to care. Plus melee combat is one of my specialties. I got all of my stuff looked my self over, then left to meet my team at the car.

I got there in a matter of minutes to see everyone but Candu there. "Hey guys. Where's Candu?" I asked. "Right here sir." I heard him call out from behind me. I turned and saw him running towards us. "Sorry, got held up." He said. "No problem, come on let's go." I said as we got into the Hummers.

We then started to drive to the town that was about three miles away from us. "So what do you think will happen on this trip?" Hutch asked. "Probably the same shit as always. Just checkin around to find nothing." I said. "But that doesn't mean to let your guard down, got it." I said. "Yes, sir." They said. The rest of the car ride was silent. In about ten minutes we came upon the town. We drove up to the opening of the city and my squad and I where dropped off. "We'll be back in a hour." The driver said. "Got it." I said back as they drove off.

We started to walk into the town. It was a decent size town for a town in Afghanistan. The buildings were not the best, but if I had to I would sleep in them. We were all on high alert because sometimes the natives weren't so nice to us. They saw us as intruders on their land, they saw us as a threat. But luckily these people really didn't care for are presence.

We walked around the town just doing our normal routine of patrol. There didn't seem to be any threat around here, but you could never be to careful. Yes, we haven't seen the enemy for a couple of weeks, but as I said you can never be too careful. We went through the whole town with no problems. Everything seemed fine. The time to leave was just five minutes away. "Ok guys, it's time to head back." I said. "Well, this was another boring patrol." Candu said. "Well its our job, so deal with it." I told him.

As we reached our pickup place. "Transport will be here in about two minutes." I said. Just as I said that we heard a gunshot ring through the air. I then heard Candu scream in pain. I looked over at him and saw that he had been shot in the knee. "We've got contacts, get to cover." I yelled. We ran to the nearest building and took cover on the side of it. "We need to hold out until EVAC arrives." I shouted over the intense gunfire going off. "Claw, tend to Cando's Wound while we hold them off." I said. "Yes sir."

"Hutch, I need you and Scar to cover me while I run for that building. I'll try and hold them off while you guys get to the EVAC." "yes sir." I then looked at him. "If I don't make it I want you to tell my friend Humphrey." I said. He nodded. "Ok, 3…2…1" I said as I took of towards a building. I could hear bullets flying all around me. As soon as I was about to make it to the building I was shot in the leg. I trip and fell, trying to hold in a scream. Luckily I rolled into cover. I looked over to the others and gave them tThe look that told them I was fine. I picked up my gun and peaked around the cornor of the building. I saw many enmies from the rooftops, from windows, and down on the streets. I started shooting at them, picking them off one by one.

As I was shooting, out of the cornor of my eye I saw a family by a building stuck. It was a mother and two little children. I knew what I had to do. I started to run while shooting enemies, ignoring the pain in my leg. They all turned their attention to me and started to shoot. Luckily they were only militia so they weren't to good at shooting. I soon got to the family and reloaded my weapon. "Are you ok?" I asked them. They didn't respond, just looked at me. Duh, they didn't speak English. I started to speak in their language telling them to follow me and I would get them out of there. They nodded.

I got them behind me. I looked around the cornor and a bullet hit right next to my face. I quickly shot my head back. That was a close one. I took a deep breath, then jumped from the side of the building and started to shoot at the enemies. The family started to run towards my squad. I kept in shooting until I heard Hutch yell from behind me,"Sir, EVAC is here." I turned around but right when I did an explosion went off in front of me. I was sent flying back. My ears were ringing, my vision blurry. I could here screaming from all around. I looked up to see Hutch trying to get to me. I then looked behind me and I could see the enemy approaching and they were really close. The last thing I rememberd before I blacked out was getting grabbed from behind and Hutch screaming my name. Then nothing.

I woke up disey, in pain, not knowing where I was, what day it was, or when it was. My vision was blurry so I couldn't see anything but blobs. But I could tell that I was sitting up in a chair with my hands tied around the chair. I heard some talking but couldn't make out what they were saying. Finally my vision cleared. I saw that I was in a dark room, with a table on the left side wall. I was in the middle of the room. I looked down at myself and saw that I was in my brown pants but they were all torn up, and I was wearing my white t-shirt.

"Awe, your awake." I heard someone say. I looked up and saw a dark brown wolf wearing Black jeans and a normal white t-shirt. He looked different from what the others did. I knew I was in an interrogation. But unfortunately for them I would die before I told them anything. "Well now that your awake after those two days, we can get started." he said as he pulled up a chair in front of me and sat down. "I should just tell you now, that I will die before I tell you anything." I said to him. "Oh come on Mr. Walker (McCabes last name) I'll let you know that we have our ways of makeing wolfs talk." He said with a smile. I just spit on him. He got mad and punched me in the gut. "Is that the best you've got?" I asked mockingly. "Oh, Mr. Walker, that's only the beggining." He said with a smile as he left the room.

I knew he wanted our secrets but which ones, I didn't know. I was sitting there just sitting and thinking. Thinking about if I would ever escape from here and get to see my foster parents. Yes they're not my real parents but I still love them. And Humphrey, I just hope he will stay strong.

All of a sudden there was this loud high pitched ring going through the room. My ears started to hurt from the noise. I looked around to see speakers in the room which was transmitting the sound. The sound imidiatly gave me a giant headache. These bastards were torchering me with this damn sound. It was surely annoying and it hurt my head, but I would not give into their demands. It is either my life, or the life of millions. And I would rather them kill me then let them destroy America.

TWO DAYS LATER

The past two days have been exactly the same. Being fed terrible food. Getting interrogated by that psychopath wolf, not cooperating. Getting torchered By that ear splittin high pitched ringing noise, still not cooperating. Then going to sleep and waking up to do it again. It really sucked, I just wished either I found a way out of here, I get rescued or they kill me. Hopefully one of the first two. But if I had to I would die.

IT was the morning again were I would get brought food. I was just waiting for the awful food to come, and then get this day over with. Soon the man that always fed me came in. But what I saw on him made me smile on the inside. He had my machete. If I could somehow use that machete to cut my ropes and then find the rest of my stuff, I would be able to escape from this place. That is when I started to plan in my head my escape plan.
