When The Wolves Howl - Page 18/19

​ John recieved a call from one of his old clients and went back to their old town of Englewood for a very quick meeting and would be gone for a week or so. During his drive back he had to detour due to road was being worked on and saw a cottage in one of the forest side roads near Durban. He saw what looked like someone he should know just the way he stood and walked. The man just seemed familiar. He made a mental notation to check the cottage out on his return home. His friend in Englewood was dying and wanted him to do his last will and record it at the courthouse so it didn't take john but a couple of days to make out the will but the courthouse would be closed the following day for a holiday so the day after as soon as the courrthouse was open and got it recorded with the proper division and stamped with the date and court seal then met his friend at the bank and watched him put it in his deposit box

​His friend couldn't pay him in money but did have a nice rifle with a box of ammo and John really didn't want to take it but his friend and his wife insisted on it The will he did for his friend had to do with his life insurance and to make sure his ex wife didn't try to get the money for herself instead of the children so they wouldn't be left out.which he had heard that happens a lot of time. His current wife owned a business and could provide for herself and the house they lived in was her's before they got married and made her sign a prenuptial agreement to keep his ex wife trying to take her stuff if anything happened to him He said his goodbye and left for home. It was dark well before he arrived anywhere close to Durban and the road was still closed off so he had to drive the detour into the countryside and when he approached the cottage he saw the creature who walked on two legs with fur all over himself. he ran right in front of him. John thought he had hurt him when he hit him and started to get out of his car when the creature got up and started to attack him and John grabbed the rifle and shot him in the heart. when he grabbed the rifle. In front of his eyes he turned from the the creture back into a man whom he did recognized as his father who was suppose to have died in Europe several years before. When he got home he went to the constable's office and reported the incident to the constable. Then went home to Joan. The next full moon the town was quiet and the wolves didn't howl like they had before. That holiday season the town was all lite up and Sarah had fun decorating Joan's front window sill for her.
