Flashback….. I woke to find myself in a dark pit, hungry and sore I was leaning against the cold stone wall. "Where the hell am I" I uttered to myself. Taking a glance around I realized I was in a windowless room with a bolted steel door. I sighed wondering where John was, I glanced at my watch only to see the crystal broken and shattered the hands were bent at odd angles. "Guess it didn't really matter anyway." I thought. I jumped at the sound of screaming, only to realize it was John I rose to my battered feet taking note I was still in my filthy fatigues. I risked walking to the door only to see it fly open revealing a pissed looking wolf wielding an Ak-47. He pointed at me gesturing out the door with the barrel."Who can say no to a guy with a gun." I whispered as a smirk fell upon my face. I stepped into the dimly lit hallway and was poked in the back with a rifle assuming I was to move forward I walked. The hallway was lined with cells some with trails of blood leading inside. I shrugged my shoulders and walked to the end of the hallway which had a heavy wooden door. The door was opened by a guard stationed outside who in turn closed it behind me. I walked in to see John beaten and bound spit in the face of a Tannish reddish wolf who was smoking a cigar. I smiled only to have it wiped off my face as the Tannish wolf backhanded John who in turn noticed me there and smiled."I didn't tell em shit." He said boldly. The moment we locked eyes I felt hands upon me forcing me to my knees and I witnessed something I wouldn't soon forget, nor forgive. The Tannish wolf took a long and slow draw from his cigar and then proceeded to put it out in Johns left eye. He screamed in pain only to pass out from it. I yelled almost breaking from the grip off the two soldiers holding me, but one of them hit me in the back of the head with the butt stock of his weapon causing me to collapse onto the ground as they dragged John out in front of me I could smell the blood and iron in the air and I knew it was my turn. The tannish wolf looked at me only to receive a growl which in turn caused him to smile. I was picked up and put in the chair where I was strapped down. "Im Lieutenant Chenko, I will get what I want from you and your pathetic friend" he uttered, a venom present in his voice as he leaned in close to me. I simply smiled and growled, head butting him hearing a satisfying crack as he staggered backwards. "Haha you son of bitch I will fucking kill you for what you did to him!" I yelled the rage clear in my voice. Chenko regained his composure and had his nose bandaged by one of the soldiers standing guard. "I must have broke it." I thought smiling. Chenko approached and at first he seemed calm but then as if possessed by a demon he started beating my viciously. Blow after blow to the face and chest I spat blood at him. He hit me extra hard in an uppercut, causing me to bite off a small portion of my tongue "Son of a bitch!" I spat. He seemed to slow until he stopped and stepped back out of the ray of light that consumed me in the chair. My vision blurred and slipping unconscious threatened me, only until Chenko returned with a car battery and jumper cables which he unceremoniously tossed on the ground in front of me. Just then I felt a slight shiver down my spine only amplified by the chairs own icy feel. Realizing his intent I laughed and smiled at him."What is your name soldier" he asked patiently."Fuck you" I screamed. "Very well then, It didn't have to be this way." He said as he attached the cables to the battery and then to the chair, the second both cables were attached I felt a jolt and every muscle in my body tensed in pain as a writhed in the chair attempting to break free. My vision started to fade as I was shocked for what seemed like an eternity. Finally I was given reprieve, as my head fell and I began to slip unconscious I was electrocuted yet again."Not yet your not, your going to stay awake when I talk to you" Chenko seethed. "Fuck you….You psychotic piece of shit" I screamed at him. He only smiled, releasing the clamps on the cable from the chair."Enough of that, lets get to know each other." He said as he gestured to a guard I could not see but only hear was behind me. The guard shuffled closer and I felt him grip the chair and tilt it so I was on my back. I could only guess what came next. Chenko found his way into my field of vision and he was holding a cloth bag which he forced over my head."Great, waterboarding…" I thought. "Who is in command of you." Chenko asked."What was your mission here, why did you take a scientist?" he pried. When I failed to answer he stepped on my throat and I felt water rush over me."Here it is' I thought. I felt like I was drowning and I struggled to break free from deaths icy grip only to be shocked into reality by a kick to the stomach. I gasped for air that I simply couldn't find and I passed out."Bring him back to the other, but keep an eye on them." I heard Chenko hiss."But sir the other one doesn't look like he will make it" I heard a guard whimper."Oh well" I heard Chenko say not caring whatsoever. I was dragged back to the cell and thrown in where I was jolted awake by the sudden rise and fall. "Hey Clay"I heard a groggy voice say. I looked for the source of the voice to find none other than John speaking. I sat up and looked him over. He had already lost so much blood even I could see he was dying."I know it looks bad, but its ok."John said. I remained silent waiting to hear his dying words."First off, I would like to say its been and honor serving with you Clay." He coughed."Second I want you to promise me something."He said, my eyes meeting his in a gaze of mutual understanding."This is it" I thought "He's done". "Clayton, take care of my boy Humphrey, I know he will want to follow in my footsteps, I'm going to guess he will be paired with you, spec ops is done by only so few, so when you do meet him tell him I love him and you will protect him with your life no matter the mission or reason. I wont get to see my boy grow into a man but I can only hope you will keep him in line." He managed before coughing up a volley of blood."Goodbye" he said before is eyes closed for good."Goodbye" I said letting a single tear escape my eye.
