Hey!, This is my story! Enjoy and e-mail me your comments. Excuse the spelling!.
Rats are feared by the human race. We are unsanitary and spread disease. We caused the famous plague of rats in 1284 that inspired the story The Pied Piper of Hamlin. We cause screams and squeals when seen and are killed off by the millions with rat poison. We know the hatred the human race has for us, but what they don’t know, is how much like them we really are…
Chapter 1
Breakfast, Ireland, 2002
“Rondy, what do you think you’re doing?” the monstrous rat, yelled into the assembly line. “That is not how you construct a pipe bomb you bluthering idiot! Get out of my site!!”
The miniscule rat scampered away, almost bawling. He seamed only a few years old.
“Bit tough on him, aren’t you Sean?” I said, trying to hide a smile. Sean is known to be gruff on the outside, but as tender as a kitten in his heart. He really loved the young ones he taught in his school for mafia children. mofuso send their children to Sean’s school to learn how to be experts in bomb making and other organized crime. Sean himself was once a great mofuso, the best of his day. Today he runs his school, but still gets a case from The Boss every now and then.
The phone rang and Sean rushed to his office to answer it. I could see him through the glass walls, and watched as he slowly grew excited. I knew that gleam in his eye and as he steped out of his office i looked for a place to hide. Before i could move, he yelled caled to me.
“Patrick!” A groan escaped my lips. “Guess what?!”
Knowing that he was going to tell me whether I wanted him to or not, I remained silent. By now the whole room was looking at us. Hoping Sean would know more than to blurt it out, I stepped closer. Sean looked around and gestured me into his office.
“He called.” he said quietly. I knew who “he” was, The Boss.
“What did he say” I asked, dreading what he was going to say next.
“I’ve got a case!” he said, unable to contain his excitement. “It’s a big one too. The Boss told me there was only one team for the job.” I didn’t like the sound of that.
“Team?” I questioned, panic sinking in.
“This job I can’t do alone,” Sean said. “It’s got to be you and me; it’s the only way it will work.”
“Me?” By now my voice was a mere squeak. “Why me?”
“Don’t be silly, you were great on the past missions we worked together on. You know,” he lowered his voice, “that on in that place with that guy”
I looked at him like he was crazy. Every mission I have ever went on, I was almost killed within the first five minutes.
“I can’t do it.” I said with as much courage as I could muster up. “No way, no how am I getting killed at this stage of my life. We’re too old Sean. Too old to kid ourselves into thinking we can pull another job off.”
“WHAT?!” Sean exclaimed. “Never will we be too old. We’re at our prime! And besides, we can’t refuse The Boss.”
Knowing he was right and that I had no choice, I consented. Maybe this case would be different.
Chapter 2
“Never…again, never…again.” I wheezed as I reached the top of the mountain. “Never again will I listen to you.”
“Oh, come on, toughen up. That’s just the first one! We have to do all six in eight days. We have to speed it up!” said Sean. Sensing my glare, he quickly grew silent.
We had been climbing for only two days and already I was worn out. I still had little information on what had to be accomplished for the mission. All Sean told me was that if was the hardest one yet. This did not prove to be encouraging. Gathering all my strength I thrust my walking stick into the ground and commanded Sean to stop.
“I think it’s high time that you told me exactly what’s going on, Sean. What is the mission, when will it happen, what other obstacles are before us and why, why are we climbing these mountains when we could easily take the tunnels?”
Sean paused thoughtfully before answering. “Alright Patrick, I guess you have a right to know, being a part of the mission and all. We have to go to whiskervill, (About as big as Paris in human terms).
