Chapter 25

Balto and the main assault force have just entered Mexico City. All they have found is silence within the usually bustling city. Balto is walking around a corner and only nothing awaits him. He keeps looking around the city trying to find any signs of life.

He sees a hotel and it's covered in… "What the fuck is that shit?"

He sees the cloth like material covering different parts of the building. He walks towards the door and opens it. He enters the building and begins looking around.

Kaltag is riding on the back of a tank and sees Balto enter a hospital.

Kaltag shakes his head. "Looks like Balto does not speak Spanish or he'd know what that building is."

Kaltag watches Balto disappear from view and he keeps watching the hospital.

Balto is walking through the building and he sees cocoons attached to the wall. He shudders at the sight and he keeps walking. He passes forty cocoons on his way to the main lobby and he stops dead in his tracks at the sight before him. There, hanging from the ceiling of the hospital, was a thirty foot long giant spider.

Balto stares at it in horror. "What the fuck…?"

The spider just keeps hanging there, waiting for the web to reveal that the prey has arrived for dinner. Balto starts to walk backwards and he puts his paw on the wall. He jerks his paw back as he touched the webbing all over the wall. He looks back at the spider and sees that it's not there anymore. He twists around and starts to run back towards the exit.

Kaltag keeps watching the hospital and is trying to figure out why there's so much silky crap all over the building.

He looks at one of the soldiers following the tank and smiles at him. "Do me a favor and go touch the silk all over the building. I want you to tell me what it feels like."

The soldier nods his head and walks over to the hospital.

He grabs a clump of the silk and starts shaking his paw around. "Ugh God! This is…sticky and…gross!"

Kaltag starts to laugh as the soldier starts to scream in terror.

Balto is running down the hallway to the exit. He can hear something crawling above him. He stops and he tilts his head up and puts his paw over his mouth. The spider is right above him. He watches it crawl towards the corner and it turns and disappears from view.

He lowers his paw. "Holy shit!"

He starts to run again and slows down near the corner.

He starts to think about the spider again. 'What if it's waiting around the corner for me?'

He pulls out his MP-56 and jumps out from behind the wall. He 's staring down the hallway and sees a hole in one of the walls on the left. He starts to run again and he jumps past the hole. He keeps running and finally makes it to the exit.

Kaltag sees Balto run out of the hospital in a fright.

Kaltag starts to laugh at him. "Is the poor coyote afr-"

Kaltag's attention goes from Balto to something on top of the roof.

His jaw drops and he points at the giant spider. "Is…Is…Is that a…a fucking spider?"

Balto curls up in a ball and he hears someone screaming. He keeps lying there and he hears the spider crawling towards him. He looks up and sees that the spider is right above him. He keeps staring at it and it walks past him carrying some soldier. It walks into the hospital and disappears from view. Balto stands up and walks towards Kaltag.

Kaltag growls at Balto. "Why didn't you fucking tell me there was a giant ass spider in there?!"

Balto shrugs his shoulders. "How the fuck was I supposed to know that the spider god was in there?"

Kaltag keeps glaring at Balto. "Well it doesn't fucking matter anymore. We're going to go in there and kill it anyways."

Balto shakes his head. "No you're not sergeant. That spider could be useful. As long as no one touches the web then we'll be fine."

Kaltag growls at Balto again. "That spider will be the death of us! But if you want a pet then go fucking right ahead."

Balto starts to laugh. "I'll use the thing right."

Balto turns around and walks back towards the hospital.

A/N: Sweet mother of...! Well Balto now has a giant fucking spider! I...I need something to calm my nerves. Maybe it might bite him later on. (No pun intended) R&R
