It was October 22nd and I have received a procurement that is of interest, I read the private email carefully as I contemplate how to go about in this matter.
Mr. Marcus Dangal, I wanted to hire your services. I am a crypto zoologist based on London, what I am about to disclose to you may sound strange, though you being a man of honor and that of a warrior, I am certain that you would understand why it is you that I approach in regard of this matter. Rumors have and stories of large howling canines more likely that of giant wolves have been circulating the highlands of Scotland, a team have tracked down a pack of what seems to be giant wolves, though before I have hired regular security for the safety of the team in the field to study this magnificent and yet mysterious specimen. However, none of the security detail teams or the scientist who have set out to investigate these animals has returned. All that was found are blood and torn pieces of clothing, tents, and equipment. I would like to ask for a team of highly trained men who can act as a personal guard to a team of colleagues in the field who are bent on the study of these mysterious animals. The pay would be at the price you will set. I am looking forward for a reply from you.
Sincerely,
Adam Chester
Oxford University
Head Crypto Zoologist
A few days have passed and Kenshiro Dima'uga along with six men arrived in London, people from Oxford University met them. A female professor holding a large sign 'Kenshiro and Associates' and her two assistants walked towards Kenshiro and his group of mercenaries.
"I'm Brittany Collins from Oxford University you must be Mr. Kenshiro Dima'uga?"
"Yes I am and you may call me Ken," the H.Q. Major extended his hand while placing his bag to the ground.
"Pleasure to meet you Ken," she shook his firm muscular and tone hand as she eyed the team leader of the Rim-Cats detachment. "Call me Brit."
Not bad he's pretty hot!
Brittany smiled hiding the thoughts from the man he just met. She took note at the man who has a muscular and toned body black crop cut hair, brown slanted and piercing eyes, a sexy yet different English tone, and the aura along with the mystique of an Asian warrior.
"The pleasure is mine Brit, these are my men. Carlos, Marion, David, Hitori, Munezo, and Shintaro."
The six mercenaries that Ken introduced shook her hand in turn every single one has the physique, tone, and looks of an elite trooper.
"These are my assistants, these one is Tom and the red headed one here is Kyle," the female professor pointed to her associates as she introduced them.
"Our van is outside gentlemen and let us help you with the baggage," Kyle informed the mercenaries.
"Brit, did the equipment and weaponry arrived?"
Ken gazed onto the black haired with blue highlights, blue-eyed woman.
"Yes the professor has taken care of the package."
He nodded as he got himself accustomed to her English accent. The men of the Rim-Cats spoke international English. While those who have lived in the United States like Colonel Marc, Kai, and Arthurius have a perfect command of American English. He smiled at her noting the woman's cute accent.
"I'm glad that the equipment has arrived in advance," he commented, "can you give us a briefing of what sort of animal are we hunting Brit?"
"When we arrive at the university, the professor will gladly do the briefing for you and your men Ken."
Twenty minutes have passed and the vehicle entered the compound of Oxford University, after the van parked, the seven mercenaries exited, grabbed their belongings, and headed inside the building towards an auditorium small enough for a few dozen people, but large enough for a briefing session.
"Good afternoon gentlemen," greeted a middle-aged English man, "My name is Professor Adam Chester. Take your seat gentlemen and I will begin this briefings since your known reputation indicates that you men wanted to be out on the field as soon as possible."
The seven men of the Rim-Cats took their seats.
"True professor, we rather have the contract underway as soon as possible."
"You must be Kenshiro Dima'uga," verified Adam Chester the professor employed by Oxford University.
"Yes sir, I am and you may call me Ken," replied the Rim-Cats team leader.
"Well Ken, this is a unique job for you and your men."
"These men are handpicked and are the best under my command professor, I am certain that everyone of us can handle what it is that you have in mind."
"Do you know what lycanthropes are Ken?" asked Brit.
"I heard of them and they are nothing but myths and of course the Hollywood topics for movies," replied Ken.
"I'm certain to say that myths are based on a form of reality Ken," said Professor Adam Chester, "The myths of the Lycanthropes have been told as old as written history itself and have basis mostly here in Europe."
"What do you mean professor?" asked Munezo, "Please do not say that we're up against werewolves now."
"I'm afraid so yes. I want your men to capture one if possible and to ensure the safety of Brittany Collins the lovely professor here and her colleagues."
"Do we get to use silver bullets?" sarcastically asked one of the mercenaries.
"Quiet now Carlos," Ken corrected the man.
"No, no it is ok Ken I will answer his inquiry," the middle-aged professor breathed out as he prepared to speak, "Your team will be armed with both conventional high powered weapons such as three 5.56mm FN-SCAR the special forces combat assault rifle with a clip on grenade launcher, three FN-Minimi 5.56mm SAW, and two M-14 designated marksman rifle with plenty of ammunition of course, cross-bows, and tranquilizer arrows. The goal as I have said earlier is to bring one of these specimens alive. I want all of you to review the following slides and take note of the area where you are to go to."
The professor dimmed the lights and activated the power point slide presentation.
