Lone Wolf: The Hunt (2 page)

“
Put your fucking guns down or Aaron dies!”

The soldiers made it up the stairs and aimed their guns at Terrell and me.
I glanced at Terrell and he looked back at me, giving a head nod. Terrell stood up, put his gun down and placed his hands above his head, I did the same. The soldiers took our weapons and hit/threw us to the ground. The soldiers then took Aarons weapons away. John let Aaron go and pushed him to the ground.

“Tie them up now!”

The soldiers obeyed John and immediately started to tie us up
forcefully.

“Surprised?” S
miled John.

We all remained in silence,
John continued to talk…

“You all did it!
Congratulations Captain! You lead your team to the right place. It’s been hard trying to cover my tracks from you getting closer to me.”

“What are you talking about John?”

“I am The Voice.”

“What!?” Terrell yelled.

“I honestly hoped you all wouldn’t get in the way... but you guys did, so I have to eliminate you guys, sadly... So I made a leak Intel that would make everyone think this was the voice headquarters Ha-ha! I pick this place to be your grave! Before I can proceed to my plan, I have to take out the great Navy Seals first. You’re all in my way, I know one day you would find out about me at the wrong time so I planned to kill you all before you early so you guys wouldn’t be able to spread my identity to the world.”

“You won’t get away with this.”

“Oh, but I will! You see, nobody will know what will happen here. Everything goes according to plan. Remember… that this is not a U.S. territory, Also, The communication is jammed. So there’s no way the U.S. will know anything except the fact its finest team didn’t return home. The Chinese rules Alaska so they will think the Chinese killed you all. All I need is your dog tags and return to America with them.”

“Did you kill Chris…?”

“Hmm… Let’s see… Here is his bloody dog tag. He’s outside laying in the snow… headless.”

“What the fuck did you do to Chris!?”

“Whoa whoa! Calm down there tiger, you should have seen the way his head exploded from the SPAS-12 shotgun! Ha-ha!”

“Go to Hell
!” Aaron yelled.

*THUMP* the solider
hit Aaron in the back of his head with his gun.

“You have information I need to know, Captain…
Where is the military commander of the United States located? I know you have his location.”

I remained in silence.

“My plan is to take over the base and fire nuclear missiles all over china. Causing war is my desires. The nations will then rise against nations, the world will be at war.”

“What are you getting out of this? Is it power!? Authority!? Money!?”

“No, No, No… every dictator wants those things. I do not, all those things are what made the world so corrupted today. I just want to watch the world burn. Let men, women, and even children tear each other apart. Let everyone see how truly ugly they are deep inside.”

“You make me sick.”

“Even your daughter will be killing Captain, I’ll be the first to watch your daughter murder. I might even take her under my wing, and train her myself.”

“Don’t you go near my fucking daughter!”

John smiled. “So tell me…Where is the military commander?”

I remained in silence.

“No answer Captain?”

I
continued to remain in silence. John pulled out his pistol *BANG*, Aaron got shot in his head.

“Nooooooo!”
Terrell and I yelled.

*End of Dream* 

                 I woke up on the bus, everything looked like a disaster. Bloodshed was everywhere along with dead bodies. The snow started filling into the bus, turning red from the blood. From the look of it, there are some survivors. The Officers and driver are dead. Everyone that could have survived are the prisoners from this bus. Serial killers, murders, rapist and thieves. I looked down, I was still chained to the seat.

“
Ugh, I need to get out of here.”

I looked around for something that can help me get out the chains.
There was a key laying under the broken seat in front of me. I looked for something to reach the key with. Next to me was a cut off arm, it was the only thing that I could reach that can pull the key closer. I took the freezing arm and started reaching for the key. The fingers to the arm kept rubbing on the key. The key was somewhat frozen. I then started to smack the arm on the key to break the ice off on it. It then moved, I aim the middle finger right on the key and slowly dragged the key closer to me. When the key was in reach I quickly threw the cut off arm away from me. I bended down and got the key. Putting the key inside the keyhole, I freed myself from the chains, I put the key in my pocket and got up and stretched my body. I looked in one of the windows that was not broken. In the reflection I can see dry blood down from my face. I turned back and started inspecting the bodies to see if John had died or escaped.

I started
racing my hands through the bloodshed snow. Looking at the bodies, there was no sign of his corpse.  I couldn’t find any of the officer’s weapons. There was nothing that I could be useful to me. Stepping over bodies, I made my way out the shattered windshield of the prison bus. The moon was full shinning down giving dimmed light to the earth. The ice cold breeze slammed itself against my face, reminding me where I was. The hail was still hitting pretty hard. I still have my military Navy Seal gear on that contains thermal resistance clothing with my bullet proof vest. They just took all my weapons. This has become a survival and a Hunt for John Carter. I had to find shelter. I started walking in a random path away from the bus. There were a bunch of tall scattered trees everywhere. As I was passing the trees, I saw three strikes on one of the trees. I felt on the strike.

“These are marks from a bear, I have to be entering its territory when I pass this tree,” I said out loud to myself.

I continued to walk pass keeping my guard up at all times. While walking a bit further down, covering my face from the aggressive weather, I saw a small cabin. I quickly ran to the cabin’s door to see if it was unlocked, of course it wasn’t. I walked around the cabin to the window and peeked through to see if anyone was inside. There was no sign of anyone in there, *BANG* I elbowed the window forcefully and climbed through it, hitting my neck on the ground trying to get it. I begin to look around for something to block off the window so the cold, hail, and snow wouldn’t get in. The cabin was about close to being empty. The cabin contained a fridge, a table with a vase, a fireplace, and a rug. I rushed over to the fridge hoping there was something I could eat inside it, but it was empty. So I pushed the fridge and blocked off the window so it can stop a lot of the snow and hail that was coming into the cabin. I then looked back and saw a fireplace with wood already stored. So I just had to start a fire. I took two sticks that were laying deep in the fire place and started rubbing them together. I kept rubbing the woods together and got it on my seventh try. I laid down by the fire and put the rug over me to maintain the heat. I gazed deeply at the fire as it heated my face. My eyes begin to become sleepy, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

*Dream continues… *

                John killed Aaron, We looked helplessly at his body.

“Get rid of the body, give me the dog tag,
” John said to his men.

The soldiers
ripped the dog tag off Aaron’s neck and dragged his body across the floor and down the stairs. Leaving a trail of blood as they dragged his body. We could hear Aaron’s head hitting on every step.

“Well it’s just the three of us now
.”

Terrell and I
stared hatefully, remaining in silence.

“Still no answer? Do you want me to blow Terrell’s face off
now? What is going to get you to talk?”

“Don’t tell him captain, if you do he will kill us anyways,” said Terrell.

*pew pew pew* Guns shots started firing outside back and forth at each other.

“Who the hell is that?” John said.

Multiple jeeps were outside surrounding the building, it was the Chinese forces. Some of the Chinese soldiers started to breach. Rushing up the stairs the outnumbering the three of us with majority of the guns pointing at John.

Yelling in Chinese
, “
FÃ ng xia
!” (Lay down, put down in Chinese)

John stood there for some time.
One of the Chinese men put their fist in the air. John knew he was going to command the squad to fire at him. John dropped his gun, kicking it to the side and held his hand in the air smiling at me.

              
The Chinese forces started aggressively hand cuffing the three of us. They took us all downstairs out the door and lined us up next to each other. The sun was already starting to set. The weather started to become more furious. We all stood there speechless for some time. A military armed truck started approaching us. The truck stopped right in front of us and one of the Chinese soldiers opened the back door. It was the Chinese leader, he got out and walked toward us. He examined each and every one of our faces.

“
Ah yes, Americans... Welcome to Alaska.”

The leader was faced to face with me examining. He then walked over and examined John. He then walked over to Terrell.
While the leader was examining Terrell, *BAM* Terrell head butted him in his face. The Chinese leader falls back with a bloody nose and Terrell takes off running. The Chinese took out their guns and started aiming at Terrell. I kicked the closes soldier that was about to shoot Terrell to give him more time to run. A soldier came and hit me in the stomach with his gun I fell to my knees. *pew pew* Bullets started firing at Terrell.

“
Zhu shou! (Stop what you’re doing) Stand down! Let him run. He wouldn’t survive in this cold or the hungry animals, take these two to Killerstone!”

I got up from the ground and look back at
Terrell. He ran and ran until he disappeared in the snowy weather. They hit us in the backs with their guns to make us walk. I looked at John and he looked back at me with a smile. They placed us in one of the jeep and drove us to a prison bus that was making its way to Killerstone Prison. They pulled us out the jeep to make us get on the bus.

“Looks like we got more prisoners boys.”

The bus officers put me away from John on the bus. They chained us to the seats

“Enjoy the ride
ha-ha!” The officers laughed.

The night was coming with a blizzard, I looked down at the chain wrapped around my hand as the bus begin to drive.

* End of Dream 3*     

                 I opened my eyes. The fire was still burning wood. I sat up and rubbed my hand down my face. I pulled out the picture of Sarah from my vest. I stared at her beautiful face and wondered how she is doing. I hate the fact I had to leave her for this mission. I rubbed my finger on her face.

“Daddy will be home soon.”

I put the picture back in my vest and stood up, I headed to unlock the door to the cabin. I opened the door, the hail was gone, and the sun was up. The snow relaxed on the ground and trees. I went back into the cabin and picked up the vase that was on top of the table and made my way outside the door. I took the vase and started filling it up with snow, I then brought it back into the cabin and held it over the fire until the snow melted into warm water. I begin to drink the warm water as thoughts were running through my mind about John. I need to stop John from succeeding his plan. I’m not in the U.S.A. territory so the Chinese will hunt for me. *stomach grows* my thoughts were interrupted by my hunger. I put the vase down on the table and went outside to get more wood for the fire. I kicked my way through the thick snow, climbed a tree, to break off wood. I got down from the tree, picked up all the wood from the ground that I broke off and headed back inside the cabin with both arms filled with wood. Before leaving the cabin for another set of wood, I saw the glass on the floor from the broken window. I went over and took a look at it. Touching the point of the glass.

“Hmm… This glass is pretty sharp.”

I put the glass the pocket of my body armor and continued on getting more wood.

                 The sun was shining bright down through the trees. Everything looked peaceful. *footsteps of crunching snow approaching* I stopped what I was doing and looked around. I didn’t see anything. I stood there for some seconds still
looking. As I turned around again I saw a man in a bright orange vest aiming a gun at me in distance. It was one of the criminals from the prison bus.  Before I could do anything he pulled the trigger. *BANG* he shot me in my chest I fell face to the snow.

“HA!! Yes! I got em!” said the criminal.

I was in pain, bruised from the shot. I was still wearing my bullet proof vest. I laid there and played dead. My body started freezing from the snow while suffering pain. I can hear the criminal running to my direction. I slowly open a pocket in my vest and took the sharp glass out and gripped it tight in my hand. I dug my hand under the snow so he wouldn’t be able to see the glass in my hand. He got to my body, towering me, breathing heavily. He thought I was dead. He then reached down and tempted to flip me over and I instantly forced the glass in his neck. Speechless he was as he stared up in the sky, helplessly. He dropped the gun and tried to cover his neck to stop the bleed. I forced the glass more into his neck. I took my hand off and the criminal fell to his knees trying to use all his strength to cover the blood but it was too late, he died. I took the glass out of his neck and put it in my pocket, I then kicked his body back and covered him in snow. I took the gun. It was a Carbon Rifle. I opened it up but there was no bullets.

“He must have been excited when
he hit me with his last bullet… hmm...” 

I went
back to the cabin and used some water to clean my hands off from the blood. Staring at the dark red blood on my hands made me think about Chris and Aaron. Their lives were in my hands, I led them and they died under my lead. Another thought had crossed my mind…

“I remember walking this way… a
nd I saw bear claws on the tree,” I said out loud to myself.

I continued saying my thoughts in my head,
I have to be in a bear’s territory and the criminal’s body is bleeding nearby the cabin outside. I have to move to another location fast before I encounter a bear. I searched quickly through the cabin and found a little bag inside one of the drawers that I can use to carry stuff. I put some wood in the bag, I folded the rug up and placed it into the bag, the last thing I put into the bag was the vase. I flung the bag on my back and held the gun in my hand. I needed to find a new location where I can have shelter, keep heat, along with protection from any intruders. I started walking in a random direction being unsure where I would be led to. The night has come and I was still walking looking for shelter. My stomach was growling at me. I felt like I was becoming weaker from every step that I took. While walking, I started to smell something cooking. Following the smell, it led me to a cave. I stayed in the distance hiding behind a tree. I looked at the entrance of the cave and saw a group of prisoners at the front of the cave surrounding a fire with an animal cooking on it. I have to make a decision on if I should go in the cave and try to kill them all, go in and try to make partnership to this survival, or just sneak around them minding my own business. I didn’t have much weapons to fight multiple guys and they all could have weapons. Yet again how can I make partnership with a bunch of criminals? These guys can be stone cold killers.

“*Sign*”

I ignored all my inner self conversations, came out from behind the tree and approached the cave.
