Chapter Six

Kiplin ended up wedged between Shane and Chunks. While Kiplin was pretty sure that Shane was on somebody else’s team, he didn’t think that anybody was going to put up much of a fuss that Shane was doing his own thing. The only one who ever had the balls to stand up to Shane was his brother, Toby, or Mitchell or Shane’s mate Trevor. Otherwise, most gave Shane a pretty wide birth.

Shane wasn’t even wearing the same uniform as the rest of them. Instead, he had on the Assassin’s garb. It, too, was all black, but it had leather pieces that covered his vital parts. Over it, he wore a long, black cloak that had a hood with it. When Shane pulled it up, he looked very menacing. There were countless shifters out there whose last image in life had been the almost-angelic face of Shane. For while he might look innocent, inside he was a vicious killer. Kiplin sent out a silent prayer of thanks that for some reason, Shane had decided to put Kiplin on his friends list.

Shane was talking in a low voice, giving Chunks words of advice. No doubt he was telling the scared rookie the same thing he’d told Kiplin on his first mission. There was no such thing as dirty fighting. Not only had Kiplin taken that advice, he’d honed it into a fine craft. Kiplin had seen many good men die on the battlefield, he’d be damned if he was going to become another statistic. Now that he had people who actually gave a damn about him, who were waiting for him back at the coalition, Kiplin was going to do everything he could to get back to them. He refused to let them down.

“Does anybody know what we’re supposed to be fighting?” Kiplin asked.

“I heard a rumor, but it’s so crazy there’s no way that it could be true,” a soldier in the back called.

Shane frowned. “What was it?”

“They said that we’re going to be battling giants.”

Kiplin frowned. He had to have heard wrong. “Are you fucking with me? Everybody knows that giants have been extinct for centuries.”

He felt Chunks begin to shake so hard that the bench made a squeaky noise as the bolts that attached it to the wall protested. Kiplin reached back and gave the feline a reassuring pat on his shoulder, but it didn’t seem to work.

“What do you think?” Kiplin asked Shane.

“I think some human scientists were fucking around with some DNA, and they managed to make themselves a new weapon. But lucky for us, they didn’t know the biggest flaw of giants,” Shane said with a huge smile.

“What’s that?” Kiplin demanded.

“Giants are dumb as shit. So much so, that they literally can’t walk a straight line. Sure, they’ll be bigger than us, but we’ll have no trouble at all taking them out.”

“How do you know for sure? You’ve never seen one, just like the rest of us,” one of the other soldiers scoffed.

“Because, unlike you, when I was growing up, I was forced to study battle basics, both ancient and current.
