Chapter 3

His cell phone rang. Snapping back to reality, Wolf stopped. He reached in to his pocket, taking out the phone. Glancing at the name, he sighed inwardly. A day after a mission and Nicky was calling already. Perfect. "Hey Nick, what's up?" he asked into the device.

"You have a new mission. Get to headquarters as soon as possible."

"Got it."

"Wolf why aren't you with Twitchy?"

The question stunned Wolf. Nicky probably already called Twitchy only to learn Wolf wasn't close to his squirrel friend. He found himself stammering his answer out, "U-Uh I just decided to go for a morning walk."

"Ah. Well get going then."

"Got it." Wolf hung up, groaning as he stuffed the phone back in to his hoodie. "Of all days why do we need to go on another mission?"

Wolf looked through the way he came. He hesitated for a moment, then began to run. His legs carried him in the opposite direction where Headquarters was. Acting on instinct alone he found the place he needed to go. He stood up to his back legs as he exit the bushes. When he caught sight of the bike propped against the building, he knew that Red already arrived. Based on the small motorcycle nearby, he could tell Twitchy came too.

The canine entered the building after placing his paw over the touch screen. It scanned his print, allowing him in after it guaranteed he was an agent. Wolf walked forward in the elevator, turning around where he stood to face the sliding doors. Waiting a little impatiently, he scratched behind his ears, flicking them impatiently. He just wanted to get this job done.

The wolf glanced over to the doors as they finally opened. He walked in to the control room where sheep sat at monitors, typing away. Mr. Flippers stood in the center, standing in a position to watch all the screens. Standing with him stood Red, Granny and Twitchy. Wolf came up. "Okay then, let's get this party started."

"Wolf you look a bit worn out. Enjoy your morning run?" Nicky asked, his eyes shifting over the twitch in the wolf's muscles as he approached the others.

"Yeah I always work out in the mornings," Wolf replied breezily, catching an amused glance at Red, who rolled her eyes, "Now what's up with the call in?"

"Of course. We received a distress call from a human village at precisely 2:30 last night. When we went to investigate we found a human, passed out, injured, completely exhausted and just about near death. We haven't gotten much out of him, though we suspect a certain witch might be the cause of all this, we think."

"Okay," Red looked around, "where is he?"

Flippers looked over when a door leading to the men's room opened. Red's eyes widened, feeling like her heart stopped when she caught sight of the subject.

He was tall, not as tall as wolf, but taller than Red. His hair gleamed like golden sunlight on a warm afternoon. Amber orbs gleamed, dotted with fear that jerked at every movement in the room. Upon seeing Red he blinked, looking over her with a new sort of respect in his eyes. "Everyone, this is Jack," Nicky introduced. "Jack, this is Twitchy, Granny Red, and-"

"Let me guess. . . Wolf, right?" the teenager said, grinning cockily at the canine, who narrowed his eyes at the blonde.

"It's Sheila actually. I like long walks, and fresh flowers."

"Oh. I, well, um-"

"He's just pulling your leg," Red told him, tossing a glare to her partner, who merely flattened his ears as he struggled to hold back a growl growing at the back of his throat.

Jack adverted his attention to Red. "Red, beautiful name," he said, taking her hand, bringing it to his lips. The teenager's cheeks blossomed her name. Her eyes didn't move away from him, trying to keep the beating of her heart silenced.

"Um, thank you. Jack is nice too."

Wolf tried not to growl.

Something didn't sit right with him about this whole thing. . .

"So what's the catch?" Wolf asked, turning back to the frog.

"That's what we're about to find out," Nicky said, turning his head to look over at Jack. The teenager looked at Nicky, his cheeks turning a redder color. Tears squeezed from his eyes. "What happened Jack?"

"I-It's my sister," he stammered. "We were going up a hill-"

"Let me guess," Wolf interjected, "to fetch a pail of water?"

Red could feel the hostility already beginning to grow in the boys' hearts. She rolled her eyes. Jack didn't respond to Wolf's quip, answering politely, "Actually yes, we were. However when we reached the well on top of the hill a witch came out of nowhere. She knocked me out-"

"Fell down, broke your crown-" Wolf added.

"AndJillcametumblingafter!" Twitchy finished with a bright giggle.

Jack glared. "Yes, yes, yes we all know the story it's not my fault that the hill was slippery."

"Oh yeah you gotta be careful. That grass, it'll take you out," Wolf commented, voice coated in sarcasm.

"Wolf, be quiet!" Nicky snapped at him, low voice cold with annoyance. "I'd like to actually hear his story." Turning to Jack he addressed, "Go on young man."

"Well when we woke up the witch put us in a cage. We didn't know what she was going to do with us. I managed to escape though."

"What about your sister?" Red asked.

"She got out too, but I lost her while we were running away. I managed to lose the witch though," Jack informed, brown eyes melancholy but defensive.

Wolf felt his eyes narrow, "So we have a kidnapping on our case. Blonde twins-"

"With an evil witch," Granny added.

"Haven't we done this before, Nicky?" Wolf asked. All of them thought back to the Hansel and Gretal incident which took place a few years ago.

"Not necessarily, Wolf. All cases have their own story and twist to them. There's no guarantee this young man is lying," Nicky pointed out, catching on to what Wolf implied.

"I can give you several endings to this, and none of them are happy," Wolf said, crossing his arms over his chest. He looked over Jack suspiciously. The fur bristled along his spine; Wolf felt grateful for the hoodie he wore to keep himself from the embarrassment.

"Wolf, I think we should trust him," Red said in defense for the blonde. "He needs our help, and we can do just that."

"I'm not so sure Hood," Wolf said quietly to her, caution in his tone. The girl looked over to him, blinking her large blue eyes. He met them, gaze unwavering. The wolf shifted his attention to the boy who stared at them, fearful expectancy lingering from within. "Something feels, off about him."

Red rolled her eyes. "He's right there Wolf, I don't think you need to whisper," she whispered mockingly at him. Wolf only kept his animal eyes on Jack, who stared innocently back at him.

"Oh don't be such a downer, Dog," Granny said passively to Wolf, who merely glanced over at her, used to the new nickname, only grudgingly though. Why did everyone have to give him names like that? Dog, Stray, even Wolfie sometimes. "I say that we can trust him, I mean look at this fine young man."

Jack blushed, looking down awkwardly, "Thank you ma'am."

Granny laughed, giving Jack a slap on the back, "A gentleman too!"

"Well then, you guys can head out to rescue the kidnapped Jill immediately, if you're ready," Nicky said, turning to the team.

"Yeah we got it Nick," Wolf said, irritated his instincts were brushed aside so passively. Whatever though, there's nothing he could do about it. He didn't feel in the mood to argue with anyone right now anyway.

"Do you have everything ready?" the frog asked.

"Of course we do, we're always ready," Red smiled, at Jack. "Are you coming with?"

Encouraged by her smile, the teen flashed his own back to her. "Um, well I guess I can. You'll be needing a guide of course."

"Fine, fine," Granny said. "We're ready for anything. Let's just head out."

"Jack we've made a backpack for you as well," Mr. Flippers informed the boy as the rest of the team pulled out their own backpacks. He handed one to Jack, who slung it over his back. Addressing the rest of the team Nicky said, "Now this is going to be a covert mission. We don't want any attention brought to us. We'll use disguises if needed-" a toss in for Wolf to keep him interested in the mission, "-but nothing too wild or extreme. Just get in, get the girl, get out. We'll take care of the witch when the time comes."

"Got it," Granny said.

"All set," Red gave the thumbs up, clicking the strap from her backpack across her chest like a harness. Wolf copied the action.

"Good. We have a transportation set up for you. You'll be taking some of our newest technology motorbikes. They have some features on them you might enjoy, especially when confronting the elements. Two of them will be to your disposal. That should be enough for the five of you. Jack, will you be able to lead them? Do you remember the way?"

"Yes," he answered.

"Perfect. Good luck, team."

The group left the building, finding two seemingly normal motorcycles standing next to each other. They were large enough for two people to sit, and painted yellow. Wolf flicked an ear, twitching his upper lip in irritation as Red asked the question he really didn't want to hear right now. "So, who wants to ride with who?"

Normally on missions like these Red rode with her Granny and Wolf with Twitchy, but now however, they had a guest, and there could be no way Wolf was going to ride with that brat. Something in him knew however that Red wouldn't want to ride with Jack though.

"Er, I could ride with Wolf?" Jack proposed.

How stupid can this kid be? Wolf choked back a growl.

"Oh really does it matter who rides with who? Just pair up and let's get going," Granny said. She mounted on to a bike.

Knowing Wolf wouldn't want to ride with Jack, Red spoke, "Well, I could ride with Jack. Wolf, could you ride with Granny?"

"Yeah I can go with the old lady. Twitch?"

"I'm with you boss! The squirrel darted up on to Wolf's shoulders. Used to this, Wolf nodded, climbing on after Granny.

"I'll lead!" Red offered, climbing on to the other bike. Jack got on after her; Wolf tried not to feel the biting suddenly starting in the pit of his stomach as the human put his arms around her waist. Red wasn't even bothered by it!

"Stupid human," he muttered.

"What was that, Fluffy?" Granny called over the loud start of the motor.

"Nothing, nothing," he mumbled, also used to this nickname as well.

"Okay then. Ready Red?"

"Ready Granny!"

The teenager was the first to start the bike, speeding ahead, laughing as she threw her herself to the mercy of the road. Wolf watched the boy as he hugged the girl tightly, looking extremely nervous.

Wimp, Wolf thought as Granny sped after them. He held on to her backpack, the wind whistling through his fur.
