Rogue Squad

Hunter's Quarrel

"Luis, why don't we just kill him already?"

My head aches as the sounds of the world begin to funnel into my ears. Sharp stings rush through my skull as I start to gain consciousness again.

"We just can't Mark. Shut up." There is a pause, "Now tell us how you found out about this shipment."

"I told you, I don't know anything." Leo's frightened voice answers.

Leo? What?

Confusion fills me until a sharp memory fills my mind.

Oh no. He is with those hunter's. The ones who caught us.

"Ow!" Leo screeches as I hear a loud cracking slap that comes from the direction of their voices.

Anger builds inside me. I know they hit him. They must torturing him for information. Information that also actually doesn't have. My veins fill with fury at the thought of Leo being hurt, especially since it's all my fault he's here. He wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for me... I need to get him out.

I peek my eyes open. In the near distance, I can see the two Hunter boys hovering over Leo, who is laying on the ground. Their backs are facing me. Leo's hands appear to be tied behind his back, just like mine. He is bloodied and tired.

I contort my body quietly as I reach down to my boot. I feel around for a bit. Excitement fills my body as my fingers skim over my pocket tool. It's a good thing there is a knife in there. I quickly fish it out and flick open the knife. I start to saw through the rope.

"Tell us everything you know. Keeping your mouth shut won't help you in this case." The blonde, who I'm assuming is Luis, says.

"I told you. I know nothing."

Punch.

"You're stubborn as all hell. Wait until the boss gets a hold of you. You will be begging to tell us what we want to know." Luis grunt.

Leo is panting hard, clearly they have been at this for a while. The dark haired guy walks over to a briefcase on the ground and pops it open. As I watch, I continue to saw through the thick rope. He pulls out a needle. I squint my eyes to try and see more clearly. The liquid inside is blue. My eyes widen.

Shit.

The dark haired guy, Mark I believe, walks over to Leo who is barely staying awake. He is so weak and worn down. I can't believe I have been knocked out long enough for it to get this bad.

Mark beds down and stabs the needle into Leo's arm. Leo grunts in pain.

I try to saw faster but the rope is barely budging. I need to save Leo soon. That was wolf's Bain. It's know to inhibit a werewolves ability to shift. It might affect his healing ability too.

Luis nods in my direction, "Mark go do the girl too."

Mark nods and returns to the briefcase, grabbing another needle. I feel my wolf begin go stir in desperation. I hurriedly saw as he stands.

I open my eyes completely as he heads my way. I sit up and desperately back up to a tree that's behind me.

He smiles evilly, "Ah so you're awake now. See what we did to your friend over there? Well you're up next for questioning."

"Wait, don't hurt me." I beg.

He sighs, "You know, you're kinda cute. But I need to keep reminding myself how much of a beast you are."

Beast? I feel my wolf grow angrier, but I put on a worried face.

"Beast? I haven't done anything to give me that title. Those men in the van just caught me and forced me to help them rob that truck, and now here I am." I say looking into his eyes seriously.
