War On The Streets (a War No Human Will Witness)

CHAPTER 4

"Holy flock, who the hell are you?" squawked captain Hofle in shock.
"I'm Peter sir, Peter Waltson, I went out into no man's land with you, literally like 10 minutes ago."
"Ah yes, sorry I was a bit stunned by the mine."
"you left before the rat even murdered Thomas."
He got close to me, put his head by my ear and spoke in a tempered whisper, "I'd be careful how you talk to me, I'm the captain now boy, you're on thin ice child." He peered into my eyes with what seemed to be murderous intent. Hofle proceeded to look down at my wing, peering at the note Ben had given to me and asked, "So what's that you got there Waltson, anything I should know about."
"Yes sir, I don't know what it's contents are but Ben gave it to me before he passed away out their," I said with a hint of frustration in my voice. I passed him the letter swiftly. He tilted his head quickly as a sign for me to follow him. We walked to his quarters where the new second lieutenant stood and the lieutenant stood, we stood around waiting for him to stop pacing back and forth and to, "OPEN THE GODDAMN LETTER!" I screamed in annoyance. The room went silent, they each looked at me except Hofle, instead he just stopped, looked at the letter and finally opened it. He inspected it for a while, looking from left to right over and over. Eventually his eyes widened, his pupils almost doubling in size. He looked at each one of us, his medals rattling from his shaking. He took a deep breath and had a heavy gulp. "The rats have arranged an alliance with the terrorist organisation I.N.S.E.X," he told in horror. One of the lieutenants spoke, " as in the 'insect.national.soldier.energy.xtremists' the terrorist organisation that has threatened the Queen bee's reign for the past 10 years." the organisation I.N.S.E.X is a terrorist gang primarily made of wasps, deadly soldiers, some of the best trained in the country, ruthless take no prisoners sort of army. Hofle clearly had no idea what to do, this could mean a loss of Portobello Road, our main front, we lose this, we lose everything. "So what do we do now, there's no way we can stop them from forming an alliance unless we destroy either one of them completely. But we all know that can't be done in literally 2 weeks," stated the lieutenant. Hofle looked over to him, "I never told you how many weeks it is until they arrive, how did you..." The lieutenant froze, knowing he had messed up. He ran in the direction of where I stood. In front of my own eyes his head was blown clean off with an extremely loud BANG, Hofle had shot him."You're welcome," Hofle said too calmly, looking at me square in the eyes. "So what do we do now?" I asked. Hofle stood up straight and said, "We make a plan."
