20: Interrogating a werewolf

Matt drove with a smile on his face, his co pilot Lennard next to him. They were on their way to Ysterplaat base to go collect Cleopatra's new attack helicopter, and was about to fly it to the final battle, Matt went through extensive training to fly it, and knew he was going to be well rewarded for flying into the battle with it, like being on a golden chariot.

As they approached the gates a soldier stopped them.

"Verskoon tog, ek soek identifikasie asseblief?"

Matt couldn't understand him "Sorry, I don't speak that language"

"Identification please" The man repeated in English.

"Oh" He took out a tag and handed it to him, the soldier read it, looked at the gate operator then nodded.

"Please drive around left of the hangar sir"

"Thank you" Matt nodded and drove in, Meanwhile Koos had told all the soldiers on base to be alert, the enemy won't understand Afrikaans.

"Lock it down" The soldier told the gate operator "These fokkers don't leave here alive"

"Copy that sir"

Matt drove as the soldier asked, at the back another halted him.

"Captain Matt Anubis?"

"Yes?"

"The Buzzard is in here, please follow me"

Matt and Lennard stepped through the hangar doors, and there stood the helicopter in all it's glory, fully rigged with two pods of anti tank rockets, and four hellfire missiles on the tips of each weapon wing.

"Isn't she a beauty?" Matt asked

"She sure is" Koos said coming up behind them. The soldiers closed the hangar doors, not opening them, leaving the two Anubis members alone with Koos, Frits and Piet.

"Open up the hangar soldier, we want to take it now" Matt said, but behind them the sound of loading weapons made them halt.

"Sorry Frikkie, you're not taking that Rooivalk" Koos said aiming his R1.

Matt and Lennard turned around to face them, but they were smiling.

"Sir, what's the meaning of this?"

"I'll tell you soon, move over to those two chairs" Koos said and the two men obliged "No, only you" Koos pointed at Matt, who went over to sit down, Frits proceeded to tie him up to the steel chair with rope, and cuffs.

"Laws are shitty sometimes hey boet?" Koos said sitting down on the other chair "And unfortunately for you, those laws prevented you two from saving your own lives right now"

"Laws?" Matt asked.

"Yup... law one, always remain secret" Koos nodded at Piet, Piet who had his shotgun to Lennard's head squeezed the trigger, blowing it clean off with the slug he had loaded, making Matt scream "What the hell are you doing!?"

"You know Frikkie, I wanted to know how to kill you, and now I finally get the chance to find out" Koos lit a cigarette and blew the smoke in his face "Fokkin werewolf"

"How!? How did you know!?"

"That's confidential" Koos said and looked at his men, then the three burst out with laughter.

"You're in big trouble! You know that!? Do you know what you have just done!? Do you know who we are!?"

"Will he die from that shot boet?" Koos asked ignoring Matt's question.

"His head is gone! Of course he's dead!"

"Are you sure? Because back on the border we shot heads similar to his with a fifty cal... we shot and shot and shot, but the fokkers didn't want to stay down... So tell me Frikkie? Is he really dead?"

Matt grinded his teeth and looked at Lennard's lifeless body, then back at Koos "N, No, He won't die from that"

"You hear that boys!? Where in your fokkin life did you hear something won't die from a headshot!?" Koos stood up and drew his pistol "Now if a shotgun or a fifty won't kill you, a nine mil definitely won't, but I bet you it'll hurt like hell hey boet?" He said aiming at his leg.

"You keep saying fifty cal! What are you talking about!?"

"Lemme think, you probably heard of the hyena pack's bad luck hey?"

"Yes, they were wiped out"

"And that's why you're organizing a full scale attack on the rest of the wolves in Angola, because the hyenas are not there to stop you anymore?"

"You? There's no way you could have known that, unless?"

"Naledi survived boet, and she told us everything"

"f**k!"

"Judging by your reaction, I'm thinking not even Cleopatra knows she still lives?"

Mat shook his head.

"Well boet, let me tell you something, were not interested now in whats going on up there between you lot of dogs, you're still one full day away from a full moon, so right now, you're going to spill the beans, everything Naledi didn't tell us, starting with how to kill you fokkers" Koos said aiming his pistol at Matt's eye.

'It's the worst type of pain, and the pain fuels the rage of the wolf' Naomi's voice came out of the dark 'If you don't learn to bare with the pain, you'll never control the beast'

Quintin was still seeing red, all he wanted to do was tare at things, he wanted to kill and feed, raw, he wanted it raw...! This woman in front of him, was first in line!

'Don't change who you are, ever Quintin' Her voice again, He saw Naledi's face, her neck in his palm, he was choking her.

"No!" He roared letting her go, Naledi coughed holding her throat.

"Are...?" She wheezed "Are you with us Quintin?" She asked.

Her voice somehow annoyed him, he remembered the time he wet himself in front of her hyena form, and that had him angry at her.

"How does it feel hyena?" He growled making her look up to him "To be at the mercy of a monster?"

Naledi backed away "I know the feeling well Quintin, but that's not who you are"

"Is it? Anyone on earth van be a monster Naledi, just give him the right motive, and all hell will break loose"
