[QUOTE="talien, post: 4202957, member: 3285"] [b]Skinwalker: Part 2b – Three Buttes[/b] They couldn’t have been more than a few minutes into the drive when the radio started playing Sinatra’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” [I]“I’ve got you under my skin,”[/I] sang Sinatra. “Shut that s**t off,” muttered Hammer. [I]“I’ve got you deep in the heart of me.”[/I] “I didn’t turn it on to begin with!” said Guppy, staring at the radio. [I]“So deep in my heart that you’re really a part of me.”[/I] Blade turned the knob a few times. The digital readout showed the stations change, but the music kept playing. [I]“I’ve got you under my skin.”[/I] There was a thump on the roof of the van. [I]“I’ve tried so, not to give in.”[/I] “Did you hear that?” asked Caprice. [I]“I said to myself this affair never will go so well.”[/I] Hammer took out his Glocks. “Yeah. It’s big.” [I]“But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well,”[/I] the radio crooned. “And heavy,” said Blade. [I]“I’ve got you under my skin.”[/I] “I’ll get it off,” shouted Guppy. He slammed his foot on the brakes… [I]“I’d sacrifice anything come what might for the sake of having you near in spite of a warning voice that comes in the night and repeats, repeats in my ear: Don’t you know you fool, you never can win?”[/I] And the van swerved wildly out of control. Guppy struggled with the wheel. For a terrifying moment it seemed as if the van would flip off the road. The vehicle screeched to a halt. [I]“Use your mentality, wake up to reality!”[/I] Everyone glared at Guppy, then hopped out the van, weapons out. Hammer clambered up the ladder to the top of the van. “Clear.” “Clear,” said Archive after looking underneath it. “Clear,” said Caprice scanning the back of the van. The horn honked. [I]“But each time I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin.”[/I] They ran around to the front. “What?” asked Blade. Guppy, still in the driver’s seat, just pointed. [I]“Cause I’ve got you under my skin.”[/I] Standing on the road in front of them was a thing that was pretending to be a wolf. But it was most certainly not a wolf, as the skin was stretched over a muscled frame that tore at the rugged hide, revealing glistening red muscle streaked with white bone. Its spine poked through the back of its hide at jagged angles, as if someone had hastily stretched the fur over a larger beast’s musculature. It growled, and they could see the full length of its tongue between the gaps in its mouth. “First vampires, now werewolves?” asked Hammer in disbelief. Blade’s hatchets were out. “I’ve got it.” He charged it with a roar. The wolf-thing bounded forward. Man and beast clashed in a titanic collision in front of the van. The wolf-thing unbalanced Blade, knocking him on his back. He held his steel hatches crossed before him, keeping the snapping jaws at bay. They all opened fire on it. Bullets pierced the flesh but had no effect. Little spurts of blood jutted out of the thing’s back, but if it felt any pain it didn’t show it. Finally, Guppy took careful aim with his laser and, pointing at the wolf-thing’s head, pressed the trigger. The beam grew in intensity until the mangy head burst into flame. With a roar, the wolf turned and bounded off down the street faster. Caprice looked at Guppy’s weapon. “I’m going to requisition one of those from Redlight next time.” [/QUOTE]
