08/02/00: CYCLE OF THE WOLF, CHAPTER 25-"Carry On, Lads"

Posted By: Wulfgar


Wulfgar's Log:

I contacted Zero via secured cellphone.

"Laddie, we've trubble."

"When" he said, "would that be something surprising, Brother?"

"Ah went tae Richard's tae try 'n' convince 'im one last time. There were some bounty-hunter yobboes there, an' Philm Phan, along wi' another BI DivSixer. There was a bloody fight-"

"I would direct you to my former comment, Brother..."

"Stoop bein' sich a smart-arse, boy."

"You know that I have no sense of humour, Brother. "Comrade" Ivan and I have made some critical breakthroughs in your abscence."

"Tha's all well an' gude, Laddie, boot ye'll be needin' tae fill us in on the rud. We're wanted men, an' we got tae git oot o' here tout-fookin'-sweet! Let Lady Eboshi know tha' we're bringin' wounded-she'a nurse, an' should be able tae help."

"Acknowledged. What happened?"

"Suffice tae say that every boonty-hunter i' th' state's goin' tae be oon oor trail. Time tae break camp."

"Shall I give Mrs. Muggins notice?"

If I hadn't known better, I'd have sworn by every god and his sister that the boy'd made a joke.

"Joost drop th' fookin' rent owed in her mail-slot."

"Affirmative."

I checked my rear-view. Phan and company were following in the armoured Jag, as I led them through the grimy streets to our base of operations.

(TBC)
