My Cerberus Girlfriend

Book Five: Chapter 4

Roger carefully maneuvered the police truck into the railroad yard, avoiding the empty freight trains sitting on the rails. The only thing that could be heard was the wind whistling through the metal railway cars. The Cerberus women looked around for any signs of trouble.

Roger and his partner knew something was awry as soon as they stepped out of the truck. The ground was littered with shattered glass and rubbish, and the security office was a mess. The door was open, and inside they discovered the guards' lifeless bodies on the floor.

Katina's nostrils twitched as she detected the odor of sulfur and black magic. She hissed, warning the others that danger was nigh. They moved gingerly between the trains, keeping low and their eyes open for any activity.

It didn't take them long to notice the suspicious workers loading crates from freight trains.

The suspicious heavily armed males have a gruff and strong appearance, with tattoos covering their enormous biceps and necks. They dress in leather jackets and pants, with greasy, untidy hair slicked back. Their scarred faces and cold, menacing eyes.

They wield weapons ranging from baseball bats to rifles and move with the speed and ferocity of skilled combatants.

When the men saw the police officers, they immediately pulled out their weapons and charged.

Roger pulled his weapon and shot, his aim dead on as he dispatched one of the guys. His heart was hammering as he shot his revolver, killing one of the heavily armed guys. The man dropped to the ground with a thump, but the others were unfazed and continued their assault on the cops. Roger ducked behind a railroad car, trying to gather his breath while firing rounds hoping to take out more of the attackers.

Meanwhile, the Cerberus women sprang into action, their powerful jaws and sharp claws dispatching the remaining thugs with ease. Katina, Labda, and Cilla moved with a grace and agility that belied their fearsome look, bringing down the attackers with a ferocity that left no doubt about their devotion to Roger and their determination to keep New Olympus City safe.

Roger reached the crates they were loading as the last of the assailants fell. As he pried open one of them, he could feel his heart racing as he discovered a stash of weapons and illegal drugs. The Cerberus women hissed, knowing that whoever was in charge of this mission was deadly and had to be stopped.

"We need to report this to Rosetta," Labda remarked, her eyes still shining from the fight's adrenaline. "This is much bigger than just a few thugs stealing from freight trains."

Roger nodded, his mind racing over what they had just found.

As the officers examined the crates, a figure emerged from the shadows. Roger's hand immediately grabbed for his pistol as the three-headed chimera neared.

The chimera was a monster humanoid with three heads - a goat, a lion, and a dragon - with a scaled and fur-covered body. Each of their heads was larger than a human and brimming with razor-sharp fangs their features curled horns that spiral out from the goat's head and a long snout that terminates in a set of pointed fangs on the dragon’s head. The lion head has a powerful golden mane and piercing blue eyes that appear to shine with inner fire.

The chimera's mini-gun sparkled in the light, and the sound of their growls and snarls filled the air as they neared. They exhaled a strong, fetid stench of rotting meat and sulfur. Their scales and fur ruffle in the breeze, and their clawed feet dug deep gouges in the ground.

Despite their intimidating appearance, Roger stood firm, his pistol aiming at the chimera's head. His heart was racing in his chest, but he refused to show any signs of panic. Katina, Labda, and Cilla are also poised, their muscles stiff and their jaws gaping.
