Chapter 20
Charlie is walking around the military outpost in Mexico. He was upset at the fact that Balto had basically called him a coward in front of every soldier in the base. Your life is horrible when someone beats the shit out of you and you are his bitch. Your life is pointless when your superior calls you a coward in front of everyone.
As Charlie walked into the barracks, one of the soldiers turns and laughs when he sees Charlie.
Charlie glares at the soldier. "What the fuck are you looking at?"
The soldier smiles at him. "A big pussy ass bitch. Hey, have you run away from anything else yet?"
Charlie frowns, but looks down in embarrassment. He walks away from the barracks and walks to the gates. He sees them open and a halftrack drives through and pulls up in front of the barracks. He watches as two soldiers walk out of the barracks carrying a radio. They load it up onto the halftrack and they climb aboard as well. The halftrack drives through the gates again and heads towards the front lines.
Charlie turns and sees Itchy approaching him. "How are you Itchy?"
Itchy starts to scratch at his head. "Horrible. I just got rid of my fleas and now they're back. Is there any cure for them?"
Charlie starts to laugh. "Would you stop being so concerned with your fleas? I need to get Balto back and you're going to help me."
Itchy smiles at him. "Why do you want him to come back here?"
Charlie frowns at him. "No you idiot. I want to get him back for what he did to me. He embarrassed me in front of everyone here and I want to take his respect and drag it through the mud. I want him to be so embarrassed, so humiliated that he won't ever mess with me again. He'll be so embarrassed that he won't ever come back to this outpost. He'll beg for mercy."
Itchy shakes his head. "You said the same thing about Carface. Remember what happened. He beat the shit out of us and nearly killed us. Do you remember how he died? He was eaten by your pal King Gator. So be careful of what you plan on doing to someone. From your experience, it always back fires on you."
Charlie ignores him and walks away from Itchy, thinking of a plan on getting Balto back for what he did to him.
In the outpost Devil's Domain, Balto is standing in front of the barracks, waiting for the halftrack to show up. As he is standing there, a soldier approaches him.
The soldier starts to laugh. "Sir, could you imagine us dogs declaring war against marine animals? You know how embarrassing that would be? We would never be viewed as the strongest and most powerful military in the world."
Balto starts to laugh at him. "You have no idea. And if I recall correctly, we did declare war on sea life. I was a private at the time and when I heard we were going to do a bombing run on the Atlantic, I went to the control room where our generals were and I somehow convinced them to end the war. I was then promoted to corporal."
The soldier frowns at him. "Wait. There was a war against sea life? What was the war called?"
Balto smiles at him. "The war is called The Private War because I ended it."
The soldier starts to laugh. "And I guess no one knows of this war except us dogs."
Balto starts to laugh again. "Why do you think we're even in this war? Why do you think every war we've had has started from? Because the other factions found out and we didn't like that. We acted all hurt and claimed they unjustly insulted us and they would pay with their lives. Only two factions decided to throw out the information: The humans and the cats. Yet we went to war with them anyways. We are the starters of every single war; not the cats or any other species. It's us. We start them all. Am I willing to throw my life away because our commanders are acting butt hurt? Someone has to. If it isn't me, it's someone else who'll risk their lives for their species."
The soldier looks down and looks back to Balto, but doesn't say anything. He twists around and walks away.
A/N: I write like my Washington accent. Stay here for about a week and you'll write and speak like me. Instead of saying measurements, you'll say measurements pronounced may-sure-ments. Instead of Washington, you'll say Warshington. We're odd I know XD
