“Hey Henry, you want some coffee?”

The waves crashed into the cliffs surrounding Cape Suzette, sending up a haze of spray that nestled itself around the ears of the three guards that gathered around a small camp fire, dulling their senses. The night was still; the usual chorus of seabirds that resounded throughout the day had now fallen silent, only sound that could be heard now was the snapping twigs in the fire and the crackling of the radio.

An old, grizzled warthog glanced up from underneath a tilted helmet. “hmmph, I think you already know the answer to that”

“You ain’t supposed to be sleeping on the job y’know…even if you do get away with it every night.” The young bobcat continued to mutter under his breath as he slinked off towards the coffee pot on the other side of the tiny encampment.

Pouring coffee in the wee hours of the morning tended to be the most excitement any of them had these days. Things had quietened down in recent months, seemed the pirates were more interested in that dumbass bear than raiding, like the old days.

“Warthogs like to nap…” Thought Henry as he hefted his frame upwards and filled his nostrils with a deep breath of salty air, a familiar thought of home entered his mind. His gaze shifted over to their radioman, a tall, lanky rabbit who seemed restless, his ears constantly twitching. Last time he was twitching up a storm like this, he’d been trying to work up the courage to ask some broad out on a date. Guess it was time to see who that boy was after this time…

“Ger…….hey! Gerry!”

“er…huh? Hmmm? What is it” Stammered the rabbit, hastily removing his earphones.

As he approached the tent he caught the whiff of a burning stove, prompting him to speed up. Ready to tear that damn kid a new asshole, he burst through the tent flaps only to stare directly into the bright yellow eyes of a panther.
“What the h-“
 His words were cut off as a blade pieced his stomach, tearing its way upwards before being yanked out.  Just as Henry’s mind began to process what had just happened, he’d already hit the floor and was now staring directly into the lifeless eyes of the young bobcat whom he’d spend the last few months training. A dark trail had carved its way from the slit across the boys’ neck, through the sand on which he lay and had formed a pool which Henry had now fallen into.

The old warthog’s eyes darkened. A boot appeared in his vision, it raised up. The world went black.

“The radioman dead?” whispered the panther as he lifted his boot from what was left of the Guard’s skull.

“He’s not squawking anytime soon” replied a sleazy looking wolf, a devilish grin spreading across his face.

The panther calmly walked out of the tent and across to the edge of the cliffs. He stared out at the glowing lights of Cape Suzette in the distance. His ears perked up as a small dingo came scrambling up the rocks to his left towards him.

“Explosives set?”  

“Every one of them, ready to light up the sky, boss”

“Good…..It’s time we got started.”  The panther picked a radio from his belt and tossed it to the Wolf.
