Chapter 4: A Monster is Loose
John almost started to giggle remembering last time Laura had screwed up before he realized the serious in the situation.
"What exactly have you been doing this time?" John asked cautiously not really sure if he wanted to know. "And explain easily, I am no scientist."
"We wanted to make the wolves bulletproof against silver as well." John hardly believed what he heard. Were scientists really that stupid? Silver had been the only thing that could kill a wolf apart from another wolf of course. If they took that away the wolf would be as close to indestructible as it would ever be. John could only see problem with making something impossible to destroy.
"What went wrong?"
"He turned in to a beast, impossible to control and without the power to turn back in to a human. He broke himself out and ran out on the moor."
"Why haven't you shot him?"
"The thing is that we succeeded. Silverbullets doesn't even hurt him." I knew it would only lead to problem to make it indestructible John thought to himself. John turned to Mayor Barrymore.
"So that is why you have taken me down here. You want me to hunt down the hound and kill him." It was not a question as much as it was a statement. Barrymore nodded.
"This far we have been lucky he hasn't hurt anyone but it's only a matter of time before something happens." John couldn't help but thinking about Henry Knight and his trips to the hollow and that there was no way he was going to keep Sherlock away the moor, it was after all the scene of crime. John sighed. He knew he would have to do it, here there was only untrained pups all fully trained wolves were in Afghanistan.
"I will do it."
"Report back to me when the job is done." Mayor Barrymore ordered.
"Yes Sir."
When John opened the door and found Sherlock standing outside he wouldn't say he was surprised, rather he got a little pissed off.
"Sherlock what are you doing down here?" John asked in an irritated voice.
"Well the question is not what I am doing here but rather why your key card unlocks every door that I have run in to so far."
