How to Never Lose a Precious Treasure
Wolf knew he was getting old. That was the only way to describe how in the hell had almost gotten himself killed by a revolutionary with dreams of grandeur. The job had been simple enough; go and take the little fucker out. Quick, clean, and easy. Those were the kind of results O' Donnell made happen and were the reason why people in power often came to him. However, in getting to where the other was Wolf found himself falling into a series of situations, the likes of which now left him wondering if getting those cybernetic enhancements weren't just an option but a must if he wanted to continue in this line of work.
The mercenaries who the revolutionary had hired had set up a base on a remote island for which easily found by the Corneria government, so the job of finding the other was enough. Yet in quietly trying to scale the mountain side where the facility was - what with him having left his Wolfen a good seven miles undersea so as not to be detected by their surveillance - the lupine found himself having to stop every now and again as he fought to catch his breath. That was something that had not happened ten years ago. It took O' Donnell nearly an hour to get up onto flat ground and by the time he did so he was short of breath and panting like his feral kin. A few deep breaths followed by a swig of water found him getting back on point though. Putting his natural night vision and stealth into play made sneaking up on the patrol very easy. A quick flex of his biceps around his captive's throat brought him much needed silence and security as he padded his way into the building.
Of course, that was when things started to go to shit.
He had tripped a silent alarm.
A rookie mistake on his part, but excusable considering that the manor had installed a series of A.I.'s which tracked everyone's individual biorhythm; this type of tech was usually only reserved for government facilities and would explain why those in Corneria's government wanted the target dealt with ASAP. Of course once the alarm was tripped several guards were on him like white on rice. That was fine with Wolf, seeing as he enjoyed a good brawl. Yet even as his claws tore into flesh and his laser pistol sliced through body armor more and more guards kept coming like locust within a proverbial storm.
It was at this time that O' Donnell seriously appreciated his ability to understand the value of a strategic retreat.
Finding his way to a safe location within the facility proved to be an obstacle, as his very large frame made it somewhat difficult for him to hide in areas meant for most other Cornerians. A merry hell of a chase later found the lupine scaling the top of the roof towards where his target was located. But wouldn't you know it, just as he found the room where the other and was preparing to take an easy head-shot he got himself spotted. It was luck that saved his tail from being shot off as he threw himself through the window into the living area where his target was. The perpetrator of the Conerian government's current headache was quite surprised to see his large form roll with the force of his fall onto the carpeted floor in front of them, glass trailing around the O' Donnell like a hail of rain. Time came to a standstill as Wolf drew himself up to look at the other, the face of the younger man eerily similar to his own at the other's age. The picture in the photo definitely didn't do the other justice.
There were words spoken, or rather shouted, and then pistols came out as both lupines sought cover while attempting to shoot the other's head off. Once again, Wolf's larger frame made it hard as hell to hide anyplace, as not even the desk he tipped over was a good enough shield to keep him safe from the colorful blast of liquid energy which pelted into his direction. A stray shot next to the hand he kept his wedding band on made O' Donnell see red and in a move so stupid it couldn't possibly fail, Wolf hefted the desk up and then charged straight at the other man. The younger Corneria tried to fire at where he thought the other lupine's head was but Wolf, even in his rage, was smart enough to keep low while performing his mad dash.
The sound of him slamming into the other was loud enough to be heard outside of the hallway, yet by the time guards entered into the room it was already way to late to save their boss. Wolf hadn't spared the other anytime to counteract as he simply trailed his laser pistol down the length of the desk, pulling back the trigger all the while. When O' Donnell pulled himself up there was visible blood on the older man's body armor, a clear sign that the other Corneria was dead, but just to make that clear to the others who burst in, gun's at the ready, Wolf hefted the desk up for everyone to see the bloody mess that was the now deceased lupine.
A good thing about most other mercenaries was that when the boss died their contract with them was terminated. And it was because of this fact that O' Donnell had no trouble literally walking out through the front door of the facility without so much as an eye being blinked his way.
Now, most would have thought that the natural thing to do after going through all of that was to get one's money from the contractor and then go home, but that was not what Wolf did.
Going down to his favorite dive the lupine flopped into his regular seat, ordered himself a thick brew, and then slipped off his wedding band. In between gulps of the thick liquid O' Donnell curled the small golden ring back and forth inside of his palm, the light from the ceiling winking back at him almost tauntingly. A cute rabbit found herself quickly scurrying out of the bar when she tried to slip herself over into Wolf's lap; the no-nonsense glare the older man had given her being powerful enough to almost literally chill her down to the bone. Finishing his third drink O' Donnell nodded, paid his tab, and then went to the hotel he normally reserved for when he wanted to be alone to plot. He fell asleep before he could do so, though.
The next morning found Wolf seated uncomfortably onto a too small seat within a tattoo parlor, his wedding ring in the hands of a friend of a friend.
