”Fok Piet!? Look at you!”
”What!? Whats wrong?”
”You have hair”
Piet felt his head, stroking the hair and beard, his eyes the same yellow.
”Is it just me? Or did we become werewolves last night?” Piet asked.
”Yes we did, just as i predicted we turned instantly, but we didn't die” Frits said getting up. All the equipment, weapons control systems and steering of the Ratel was closed with steel plates, if something bad happens to the men inside, the Ratel had interior life support sensors that monitored them constantly, should they die, the thing self destructs, when werewolf venom was detected, only the important panels were shut sealed in protective casts. Even the gun cabin behind Frits's table shut closed.
”Veilig” Frits said in Afrikaans, it meant safe, the protective panels withdrew, and the equipment came out again.
”I need to study this quick” Frits said and dripped a drop of his blood onto a scanner.
Piet looked through his tinted window, and was met with a worrying sight.
”Uh boys, were surrounded”
Koos came infront to him, then also looked out. The SANDF stood outside, Olifant tanks ready and aiming.
”O fok”
”DPK! This is General Mqubana from the South african defence force, we have you surrounded! You would be wise to give yourself up for court marshall”
”Shait!” Frits said ”This is why we never oversleep! Right Koos!?”
”Fok ja”
”How do we get out of this one?” Piet asked.
”Frits, when is the next full moon?”
Frits checked his computer ”Tonight”
”Fok! we need to get out of here somehow”
”Why? We've seen this Ratel can contain us” Piet said.
”No, Koos has a point Piet, look at all this blood, we attack ourselves as werewolves, it would be horrifying to wake up the next morning and find one of us dead”
”Oh So what do we do?”
”Im thinking” Koos said, stroking the scar Seth gave him.
”We need a distraction”
”Smoke grenades?”
”No an outside source, if we act with the Ratel now in any way, those Olifant tanks take us out and at the short distance they're from us, not even TTC armour can stop that round... Any suggestions boys?”
”We could give up” Piet said.
”And then Piet? We become werewolves in jail and kill every one?” Frits asked.
”Wait, i got it” Koos said ”Those outside doesn't know were in here right? They only presume, so, lets go to the back turret compartment and shut it behind us. Eventually the taskforce will arrive to come get us out here if we don't comply. If they see this bloody mess inside they'll think were dead somewhere, as soon as they relax, we bolt” Koos said.
”Well, it doesn't sound like it will go super smooth, but its our only option” Frits said pussing a button, the same steel covers came around his compiters, then the three men went into the back turret side, and shut the hatch door.
”This is your last warning! If you do not comply you will be removed by force! If you retaliate with firearms inside the Olifant tanks will open fire!”
The general gave them a few seconds, then lifted his loudspeaker again.
”You will now be removed with force!”
The task team surrounded the Ratel, two men went up to the top hatch and as they opened it two men opened the side hatch door at the same time. They slowly looked inside, then the team leader shook his head at the General.
”Theres alot of blood and bullet shells in here sir, i think they got taken out by someone else!”
The general came closer, then held his nose as he saw the blood.
”Haibo, ok, lets evacuate the area, i want a special team sent in to get this Ratel on a flatbed”
”Sir yes sir”
The tanks rolled out slowly, then the police also withdrew, as no one had their eyes on the Ratel, Koos pieyt and Frits snuck back into the front, Piet started up and floored it, those in charge of guarding the thing got a huge surprise.
”General! DPK's Ratel just started and bolted!”
”What!!?”
Piet purposefully drove right into Maxwell's house, through the wall of the dront doors, through two more walls, destroying a long twenty seater dining room table frop tip to tip, then through the fireplace behind the table out into the back yard. They cleared the huge golf course like yard and breached the back wall.
”My fucking house!” Maxwell bellowed as he stood watching the tunnel running through his house.
”Sir! You must move!” A soldier yelled grabbing him and dragging him out the house, slowly the house that was already damaged by the previous night's bombardment started coming apart, until it collapsed into a heap of rubble. Maxwell stood deprived of words.
”Are you ok sir?” The soldier asked.
”They, they destroyed everything!”
”I see that sir, were lucky they didn't kill anyone” The soldier took his radio ”General, they escaped, should we persue?”
The General gave it some thought ”No, they will open fire, let them be, one day they wont be this lucky”
