Chapter 8 - Mission Accomplished?

Humphrey's POV

D.O.G.S. had arrived. Skye came in with a dozen agents behind her and they secured the room. The computer, that Shadow had used only moments before, said 'upload complete'. I thought that meant that Shadow had successfully released the files to the human public, but I soon found it was sent to an independent source. "Did you secure the files, Agent Humphrey?", Director Lou asked.

I turned around and saw him standing there with his green tie and white collar around his neck. "Director Lou?", I asked, "what are you doing here?".

"The stolen files", Director Lou said, "where are they?".

I sighed, "I don't know", I answered, "Shadow sent them off to another independent source and this time it can't be traced".

Director Lou sighed, "any idea why he didn't release them to the humans like he said he would?", he asked.

"I don't think that was his plan, Director", I replied, "I don't know what his plan was".

"Unfortunately, there's only one way to find out at this stage", Director Lou said.

"Umm, excuse me", Eve said, "who are you?".

"My name's Lou", Director Lou said, "that's all you need to know about me".

"Now listen here you...what are you?", Eve asked.

"I'm a beagle", Director Lou answered.

"Now listen here you beagle!", Eve shouted, "as a former Pack Leader of the Western Pack, I demand to know what's going on here!".

Director Lou sighed, "is she serious?", he asked me.

"Very much so", I answered, "you don't want to be on her bad side".

"Very well", Director Lou said, then turned towards Kate, Winston, and Eve, "I am the Director of D.O.G.S., a secret worldwide organization devoted to ending feline terrorism".

"Umm…sure", Eve replied.

"Director, the room is secured", Skye said, "should I wipe their memories?".

"Yes, Agent Skye", Director Lou replied, then Skye approached Kate, Winston, and Eve. "What is she doing?", Winston asked.

"Standard procedure", I answered, "any civilians that don't have a valid reason to know about D.O.G.S. gets their memory wiped".

"You mean I'm going to forget about you?", Kate asked, tears starting to well up in her eyes.

"You won't forget about me, Kate", I said, "only anything to do with D.O.G.S.".

"Still", Kate replied, "I'll probably just figure it all out again anyway".

I sighed, "she does have a point, Director", I said, "if I keep working for D.O.G.S., then Kate's going to find out one way or another".

"Actually, Humphrey…", Director Lou replied, "I've come to terminate your commission".

"What?", I asked.

"Yeah", Director Lou said, "apparently, we can't have civilians know about us, but that didn't seem to stop them from wiping my memories and terminating my mentor, Butch's, commission, when he showed me everything about D.O.G.S., so…"

"Hey, I'm right here you know!", Butch said.

"Yeah, well, I outrank you now", Director Lou said, as Kate whispered something into my ear, "I can say what I want about you".

I smiled, "actually, Director", I said, getting his attention, "I quit".

"You quit?", Director Lou asked, "why?".

"If I keep working for you, Director…", I said, "...then I won't be able to take care of my family".

Director Lou turned his gaze towards Kate, then back towards me, "oh, I get it", he said, then leaned in towards me, "good luck, I already have five and they're each a pawful".

I chuckled, "yes, Director", I replied.

"Just one thing, Agent Humphrey", Director Lou, "since you quit, you have the choice to keep your memories and retire, so to speak".

Skye wiped Winston and Eve's memories, then came over to Kate, "you ready?", she asked.

"This isn't going to hurt, is it?", Kate asked.

"No, it won't", Skye answered, "you'll just fall asleep and wake up in your den, this'll all just be a dream, well...a dream you don't remember".

Kate nodded and Skye proceeded to wipe her memory and Kate fell asleep, Skye then did the same to Sweets. "You wish to keep your memories, Humphrey?", Skye asked.

"Don't want to let all that training go to waste, now do I?", I asked, "might need it to protect my family".

Director Lou chuckled, "yeah, or protect yourself from them", he said, then he pawed me a bottle of clear liquid.

"What's this for?", I asked.

"It's enough for one dose", Director Lou explained, "it is an antidote for what Skye just did to the others".

"You mean, if I give this to Kate, she'll have her memories back?", I asked.

Director Lou nodded, "I've had to use it myself many times", he said, "the only reason that you would have to use it on her, is if all this comes back to you in the future".

"Understood, Director", I replied, "I'll put it in a safe place".

Something suddenly came to mind, "umm, Director?", I asked.

"Yes?", Director Lou asked.

"How did you know where to find me?", I asked, "I never told you where Shadow's base was".

"That's the funny thing", Director Lou said, "shortly before you called, we got an anonymous tip from someone, giving us the location of Shadow's base".

"Couldn't trace it, could you?", I asked.

Director Lou shook his head, "we traced it as far as...somewhere north of here, but it was bouncing all over the world, so we don't know where it is".

"Did you find the mole?", I asked.

"We did not", Director Lou answered, "but now that this is over, we're going to do an intensive search for whoever they are".

"I guess this is where we say goodbye then, Director", I said.

"Yep", Director Lou replied, then held out his paw, "goodbye...Humphrey, I have a feeling that we'll see each other again soon".

"Let's hope not", I said, as I shook his paw, "you'd have to be in serious trouble to call me back in".

Director chuckled, "yeah, you're right", he replied, then let go of my paw and headed out of the room. Skye, Butch, and Diggs, came up to me, "we'll help you take the others to their dens before they wake up", Skye said.

Skye picked up Eve, while Butch and Diggs picked up WInston and Sweets, respectively, and I picked up Kate, then we left the room.

Epilogue

SIX MONTHS LATER

No One's POV

Kate and Humphrey were laying in their den, their backs pressed against each other, when three young pups ran into the den and jumped on them. "Wake up, Dad!", the youngest pup said, "we're going to go looking for butterflies!".

Humphrey groaned as he sat up, "this early, Runt?", he asked, "it's not even midday yet".

"Dad", the oldest pup said, "I thought that as the Omegas' Leader, you would be up early".

"Actually, as the Omegas' Leader, your father sleeps in longer than the other Omegas", Kate said, as she sat up, "but I need to get up, go hunt some breakfast".

"Okay, honey", Humphrey said, "I'll watch the pups".

"More like they'll watch you sleep?", Kate asked.

"You know me too well, Kate", Humphrey said, as he laid back down.

"Pups, make sure your father doesn't fall back to sleep", Kate said.

"Oh, come on, really, Kate?!", Humphrey exclaimed, but Kate had already left and the pups were watching Humphrey with their six beady little eyes. Humphrey chuckled nervously, "umm, so, what do you want to do?", he asked.

The pups looked at each other, then pounced on Humphrey and started playing.

MEANWHILE, SOMEWHERE NORTH IN ALASKA

Three Siberian Huskies were running towards a cave in the mountain, one of them was missing their right eye. They went inside and the one with only one eye, placed a paw on the cave wall and it opened up to reveal an elevator. The elevator took them down into the earth and opened up into a larger chamber. They travelled further into the chamber, passing by many wolves going about building vehicles and testing new technology. The three huskies entered another elevator, which took them up to a much smaller room. On the other side of the room was a glass wall, looking out over the room they just passed through. "What is it?!", a fourth Siberian Husky growled from the other side of the room, he was looking out the window watching the wolves work.

"Rufus", the one-eyed husky said, "I'm sorry, but I failed".

The husky snarled, "don't tell me, you were defeated by that Omega wolf agent?!", he growled.

"Y-yes, Sir", the husky answered, "I almost defeated him, but I didn't account for his mate".

"I thought I told you to watch your back with those wolves!", Rufus snapped, "you know that they work best as a team!".

"I know, but I didn't expect his mate to…", the husky started.

"...to attack you in a rage for the supposed death of her mate", Rufus finished, as he turned around, "and I thought you were smart, Shadow".

"Our sister is the smart one", Shadow replied, "she was the one that put this whole plan in motion".

"Starting with you being 'found' by D.O.G.S.", one of the other huskies said.

"You were supposed to be our mole", the other husky said, "until you had to begin your own ambitions".

"Shut it, Ashley, Mark!", Rufus shouted, "our sister ordered him to do that, it was all a part of her plan to gain the D.O.G.S. trust".

"Do we even have any idea what her plan is?", Mark asked, "I feel like she doesn't know what she is doing".

"Our sister...knows what she is doing", Rufus said, "you must have faith, brother...and patience".

Rufus noticed that Shadow was missing an eye, "what happened to your eye?", he asked.

"I thought you would've known that", Shadow said, "that wolf's mate clawed it out".

"Hmm, well, at least it makes you look more intimidating", Rufus replied, then turned back towards the windows, "there's just a few more things we need".

"We have all of D.O.G.S. files, including the one of wolf agents, we have a huge army of wolves at our command, a mole within D.O.G.S.", Shadow said, "what more do we need?".

"You forget Shadow", Rufus said, "a couple of years ago, D.O.G.S. and M.E.O.W.S. worked together to take down Kitty Galore".

"I remember that", Ashley said, "they put their on-going battle on hold, just to prevent her from taking revenge on both organizations".

"In order to have any chance to do what we want to do, we need to take down both D.O.G.S. and M.E.O.W.S. from the inside", Rufus explained, "our sister is already deep inside D.O.G.S., we just need to start Phase Two and we'll be ready".

"Yes, Sir", Ashley said, then she and Mark left.

"Something bothering you, Shadow?", Rufus asked.

"Sorry, Sir", Shadow said.

"Don't be, Shadow", Rufus said, "Our sister and I may outrank you, but you're all still our siblings, what's wrong?".

"I just feel useless", Shadow explained, "both times that I was on a mission, I failed, first inside D.O.G.S. and then back in Jasper".

Rufus chuckled, "you didn't fail, Shadow", he replied, "the plan was to retrieve the stolen files and get D.O.G.S. to train a wolf agent, we did that, didn't we?".

"He defeated me though", Shadow said.

"You weren't supposed to defeat him", Rufus replied, "the wolf agent will prove useful in the future".

"Didn't he quit from D.O.G.S.?", Shadow asked.

"We'll just have to give him a reason to come back then", Rufus said, "mark my words, Shadow, we'll have our revenge, then the world will be ours, and not even the humans will be able to stop us".

"Yes, Sir", Shadow replied, "you want me to help with Phase Two?".

Rufus shook his head, "no, I have something else in mind for you, Shadow", he said, "I want you to give that former wolf agent a reason to return to D.O.G.S.".

"Yes, Sir", Shadow replied, then left the room.

Rufus watched as his three siblings went down to the room below and began ordering some of the wolves around. Rufus turned to face an ornate portrait of two Siberian Huskies sitting side by side, one was jet black with noticeable streaks of dark red in his fur and icy blue eyes, while the other was snow white with brown splotches in her fur and deep brown eyes.

"We'll finish what you started, father", Rufus said, as he stared at the portrait of his parents, "we'll avenge you and mother, then take the world for ourselves".

A/N: That's it for this story, I'd really like to know what you thought of it, good or bad. I'm sure that after reading the Epilogue you'll know exactly who the mole in D.O.G.S. was, but if you don't know, then go back and read the story carefully, specifically the beginning of Chapter 3 and the Epilogue.

Till next time,
