A Dogs Tale/A Wolfs Tale Chapter Fifteen
I was touched by their gesture, I knew what this medal meant to them and I bowed to them in thanks making them cheer louder at my actions. Of course, news of what I had done had spread around the camp even the Americans grudgingly gave me their respect but the Afghans were even more terrified of me now.They believed I had somehow cheated death and they called me the Devil Dog. They did not know how close to the truth they were but I could no longer get near them and I needed to find out where our final targets were hiding before they bombed the airport again. In desperation, I resorted to my inner wolf and l waited until the moon was no more than a sliver in the night sky and the base was shrouded in darkness. I slipped off the base heading for the local's homes. It was easy to silence their dogs with a quick command to their minds as I wandered amongst them listening intensely. It did not take me long to discover their meeting, I lay silently beneath the open window as they plotted
A Dogs Tale/A Wolfs Tale Chapter Sixteen
‘I will always be your friend, Thom, I carry the Commander in my heart forever and I made him a vow I will protect you with my life but we have both moved on. You are not that ten-year-old boy and the dog you grew up with died. My relationship with Jack is not a threat to you, I am not who you think I am. You said yourself I need to move on and I have but you must now do the same Thom, you must let me go’ I stood looking at him waiting to see which path he choose, he sighed heavily and walked across to the patio doors pushing them open he breathed the fresh air deeply before turning back to me, ‘You are right Sirius and I am sorry, I am jealous, I know it is stupid, I have a wonderful wife and two beautiful children, I have everything I have ever wanted and I am jealous of that Pipsqueaks freedom, I am such a bloody fool’

Eight people were killed and dozens injured, while the devastation to property ran into millions.I lay on the bed panting heavily and Jack sat down beside me, ‘What was that?’ He asked raising his eyebrow, ‘I did not know we could do something like that?’ I lifted my head and looked out of the window, the storm had passed and the sun was trying its hardest to peep out from behind the high clouds, ‘I did not know either, I suspected that I could channel my energy in such a way but it is the first time I have ever used it

We had both been promoted on our return from Russia, Jack was now a Captain and had been given a substantial pay rise to go with it and I was now the Commander taking my mentor title two years after his death with my ‘salary’ being paid to Jack for my care. This meant Jack was quite a wealthy young man and with his looks and charm it was not long before the pretty young women began staying over and I would find myself swimming alone in the mornings. I did not censure him he was young and attractive and like the Commander used to say about Thomas ‘let him enjoy himself while he could’. He was never late for our classes, or our training and he worked hard, he spent a lot of his time with our local Veterinary Practice learning everything he could about my physiology. He was taught how to treat cuts, fractures, and breaks, and how to diagnose poisoning among more everyday illnesses. They taught him how to give injections, stitch wounds, and even set bones and supplied him with a very adva

I was standing next to Jack with a large bow tie around my neck that had two expensive gold rings attached to it. He didn’t have a best man he had the best dog, me. Beth was delighted to find I had stepped up to do my ‘duty’, as she told Jack. ‘At least I know you will be safe with Sirius and he can be relied upon to get you to the service on time’.The ceremony was over and everyone was dancing in the Mess it had been a lovely day and the young couple was heading off for a fortnight's honeymoon in the Seychelles. I returned to the beach house alone and sat on the beach late into the night talking to the Commander and asking his advice. He did not answer this time but then I knew what he would have said. Jack was a good person and he would be a good husband and Father what I needed to do was put aside my jealousy of their relationship and accept it. That was my problem not his and as the moon rose to its zenith I let it go and felt myself find peace. I spent that two weeks alone, it

His voice was soft, crooning as he stroked my head gently, rubbing behind my ears and I leaned into him enjoying his gentle touch.‘You are very honored Drew, he can be rather fussy when touches him. He knows you understand dogs.’Jack praised the soldier and he puffed up with pride,‘Thank you, Sir, I sure appreciate those words. Would you mind if I took a selfie with him for my folks? They’ll never believe I saw such a huge beautiful dog if I don’t show them’Jack looked at me and after a quick probe of Drew’s thoughts I could find no reason to refuse him so I gave him a brief nod. Neither of us saw the American Officer watching the exchange closely. Drew ruffled my ears and thanked Jack profusely before returning to his seat as the plane was coming in to land at Boryspil International Airport.The Jeep was waiting on the runway and two MPs stood at the front of it clearly British in full uniform while their American counterparts were much more relaxed. They saluted Jack smartly and

‘Rest you mad fucking dog, we’ll talk when you feel a bit better’He was angry with me as I had put our whole mission in jeopardy but as I settled down to sleep I mind-linked him,‘I would do it again in a heartbeat Jack, you know that, my instincts are to protect regardless of the cost to myself and I know you would have done the same thing’He huffed and shook his head but then he smiled across at me and said, ‘You are still one crazy mutt.’ A few hours later the all-clear sounded and the two MPs led us out to an American Jeep they had ‘borrowed’ to get us to the British-held area. Exhausted and stiff with pain I jumped onto the back seat and whimpered as they bounced over the craters heading for what was left of the main road. We were stationed in a large hotel basement that had been sectioned off into rooms. I

‘I will take out the Insurgents, you free them and then we’ll concentrate on him’Jack nodded and made his way around to the Ukrainians, he caught their attention discreetly and they knew to keep silent as he positioned himself. When he was ready he gave me a nod and I made my move, bunching my hind leg muscles I leapt forward catching the first Insurgent by surprise landing on his back and snapping his neck. The other three scrabbled away shouting in fear at the sight of a huge white wolf attacking them. I used their fear as they tried to run instead of using their weapons dispatching them with ease. Humans, especially panicked and terrified, are so fragile no match for my razor-sharp teeth and claws. While I killed them Jack pulled his knife and cut through the ropes of the captive soldiers who leaped to their feet and tore the warm coats of the dead Insurgents,‘Stay right where you are’The Leader stood pointing his gun at me and I faced him snarling,‘I do not know what you are D
