"Hannah?" asked Skipper.
"Wha.... Did I just..." groaned Hannah with dizziness.
"HANNAH!!" screamed Skipper.
Hannah exploded awake, sitting up quickly and focusing her eyes. Lilly was laying down in her постель, кровати with both legs in casts, the force of the explosions launched a rock onto her legs and shattered the Кости like glass. Private and Kowalski were standing by their leader, both quiet out of respect, Rico however, was being himself as always, but with еще dignity and respect in his eyes as he stood by Lilly.
"We blacked out, didn't we Skipper?" asked Hannah.
"Yes, and he left this for you, The Kid I believe," сказал(-а) Kowalski weakly.
"I thought he didn't want to kill me yet," сказал(-а) Hannah.
"He didn't, the note here assures of just that, read it, now," сказал(-а) Skipper, handing her the note.
Hannah picked up the scrap of paper, this time it wasn't a neat .jpeg file, but a quickly written letter in fairly neat handwriting for a person who was in a hurry.
--------------------------------------
Dearest Hannah,
I didn't expect Ты to consult with my colleague Mr. Fantastic, but oh how close Ты were! Such a shame really, I REALLY wanted to see Ты fight me off to the finish! But of course, Ты fell for my explosions and gunsmen. How stupid. I thought Ты were smarter than that my dear! Oh the times I puzzled Ты without Ты knowing I was ever there! Well, let's put it like this; I knew you, Ты made me, I made you... Remember those seals Hannah? The ones that took your "mumsy" away? I have a "little" something to do with that, but do have fun trying to figure that one out. By the way, I'm working on a little project Ты see, I need money, so this is the place I'll go, ready? I'm standing by the Nile, watching around for a mile, and see something shimmer nearby, it's not the river, it's not a lie, it's a beast that'll render Ты ready to die, I see his pearly teeth, and if I fall beneath, they'll slice me up, in a blood-red sheath. What is it?
Hannah's blood boiled, this has gone from harassment to downright predation. He wanted something from her, and when she read the mention of her mother's death, she remembered something she knew about that horrible day.
"He... He was there.... I... Knew him..." whispered Hannah.
"What?" asked Lilly.
"The Kid!! I remember him being involved with the seals, my mother, her death!! But, I don't remember where in that memory, или what his name was!!" yelled Hannah.
"We can figure that one out, but what does that puzzle mean?" asked Skipper.
"Raba glaeghafla!!" shouted Rico, pointing at a textbook.
"Rico, that's not it, it can't be just a book, the puzzle сказал(-а) for an animal with sharp teeth, and lives in the Nile river," сказал(-а) Kowalski.
"Hmm... It's body shimmers in light, like scales," сказал(-а) Hannah.
"Wait, and is carnivorous, living BENEATH the water," сказал(-а) Kowalski.
"A beast with jaws like a sheath," mused Hannah.
Both gasped.
"A crocodile!!"
"Hang on, what does that have to do with his Далее target?" asked Private.
"Arawhagfzvd!!" shouted Rico.
"That's right Rico!" сказал(-а) Hannah, pulling up a map of Fort Grumley.
She pointed at a specific spot on the map, labeled in a green dot.
"He сказал(-а) he needed money, so by no doubt, he's going to hit The Bank of крокодил District next!!" сказал(-а) Hannah.
"Brilliant thinking, hurry up guys, we have no time to lose," сказал(-а) Skipper, opening a shelf.
"What's in the shelf?" asked Lilly.
"The ticket to our sting operation..." сказал(-а) Skipper, pulling out a bullet-proof vest.
He soon handed Hannah a pistol, and a vest as well, then gave Private a mallet with bullet-proof vest. Skipper then tossed a vest and pistol to Kowalski and Rico, then pulled out his own pistol, Загрузка it and putting on his vest.
"Wait, what about me?" asked Lilly.
"You're hurt Lilly, Ты can't go on missions in person, but Ты can help us out by being our eye in the sky. Know what I mean?" asked Skipper.
"Yeah, but how?" asked Lilly.
"I got it," сказал(-а) Hannah, giving a headset to Lilly.
Hannah then turned on their computer, logging in and going to a surveillance screen. She then typed in several numbers and letters that almost everyone ignored out of confusion, then hit enter. Suddenly, the monitor had dividers on the screen, Показ different areas of what appeared to be a bank.
"There we have it, Lilly, make sure no one with suspicious intent goes through those doors, if Ты see it, then warn us about it before we get blown up или shot at again," сказал(-а) Hannah.
"Gotcha," сказал(-а) Lilly, putting on the headset.
"We all good to go?" asked Skipper.
"Aye sir!" saluted Kowalski.
"Yup," сказал(-а) Hannah.
"Aye aye!" shouted Private with giddy.
"Uh huh!" saluted Rico.
"Alright men!!...... And Miss Hannah, let's get a Переместить on!!" yelled Skipper.
The group soon belly-slid out of Hannah's apartment, as soon as Lilly was set. Upon their departure, Lilly pulled out a pistol, Загрузка it and removing the safety. She knew that if The Kid knows all that they did, and probably knows now that she's injured, she could be a target, and knew better to arm herself just in case.
"Nothing but a good .22 to be by my side in case of emergencies, and if I'm out of ammo, I got Pepper Spray," chuckled Lilly, looking into her monitor for any strange circumstances.
------------------------------------------
"Ready Kid?" asked a voice in the shadows.
"Most certainly, seeing as the group is dispatched to the site of interest, I feel it most necessary to withdraw..." сказал(-а) another voice with childish glee.
"But we need the dough boss!!" shouted the voice.
"Shut the hell up Valentino, I know what we're doing, Ты should know damn well yourself," сказал(-а) The Kid, keeping in shadow.
"Well, true, true, whatever ya say boss!! You're the brains of our posse!!" shouted Valentino with a salute.
The Kid didn't reply, propping his feet up on a стул and whistling.
"Heh, yeah right!" shouted another voice, a relatively muscular пингвин stepped into the Kid's view.
"Hello Satan," сказал(-а) The Kid with happiness.
"What do Ты guys think of the fact he's pulling out of крокодил bank?! Ain't Ты the guy who killed our old boss?! Aren't Ты all aware of what it was like before with Malley?" asked the penguin, addressing several other penguins in the room.
He had a point indeed. This was formerly the Malley Mob, run by the notorious criminal of the same name. These goons specialized in robbing banks and gambling all that money into nothing, mostly on expensive toys for the rich. Malley's reign was ended brutally by a rising звезда in his ranks: The Kid, he was never referred to anything other than the Название bestowed upon him. He was called that name for several reasons: He was childlike in demeanor, often giggling and laughing as he made his move, but knew when to be absolutely strict and solid. His identity was still unknown even before he became the mob's new leader, he was always in shadow, или wore many things to hide his appearance.
"So what'd Ты needed us for huh?! Ты are the damn prodigy of the underworld, so why bother with our "little mob?!" Why want to be here?! Ты hide all the damn time Kid!! или should I say, COWARD!!" shouted the penguin.
The Kid simply chuckled, kicking his feet as he burst out into laughter.
"HAHAAAHAAAA!!! OH MY GOODNESS!! That's just priceless!! Why Kevin Ты sly bastard!! That's right, right guys? He's the bastard, Mr. Bastard, his mommy didn't get a single penny for all those times she had to strip and pimp, am I right son?" asked The Kid.
Kevin smashed a chair.
"ALRIGHT!! I'VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM THIS FAGGOT!! I SAY WE KILL THE KID!!" screamed Kevin, bashing a bottle and pointing it to The Kid.
"Ten million for his REAL NAME!!" shouted a mob member.
"Thirty for his guts on the wall!!" screamed another.
"One BILLION FOR HIM TO FIGHT ME!!" screamed Kevin, shrugging his пальто to intimidate him.
The Kid didn't say anything for a while, then spoke.
"Listen Kevin, I'm sorry, alright? I know Malley is dead now, but aren't Ты all the reason really? Ты wanted me Kevin, Ты yourself raised the rebellion to put me in that dumb old man's shoes, and as Ты can see, they fit really damn nicely," mused The Kid.
Kevin relaxed, dropping the bottle and breathing deeply.
"Kevin, if Ты still think I'm a coward, I'll tell Ты my name, I'll Показать Ты my face, wanna know it?" asked The Kid, standing on his toes and removing his coat.
Kevin came closer, hearing The Kid whisper to him as he took off his scarf as well.
"My name, is as flowing as the sea, I am named after my father," сказал(-а) The Kid, getting closer. He took off his Fedora.
Kevin inched closer to hear the name he wanted to know, to put a face on his leader to Показать the mob.
"My name, is THE KID!!" he shouted, stabbing Kevin in the back and slicing down.
Kevin shook and gasped as blood rushed out of him, and he soon fell, the shock of the loss of so much blood killing him in seconds. The Kid then stepped one foot on вверх of Kevin's lifeless body.
"Now Ты know my name, I hope Ты all forget this little setback and maybe we can, start over?" asked The Kid.
The men were petrified, and had a newfound respect for their new boss. The last "heir" of the Malley mob had finally fallen, and the hopes of declaring a new leader were soon dashed. The mob members nodded, both out of fear and respect.
"Excellent!" shouted The Kid happily, throwing himself back on his "throne", smiling and laughing about, "Valentino, be a good boy and take out the garbage?"
"Aye sir..." saluted Valentino, grabbing Kevin's body by the flippers.
"Wha.... Did I just..." groaned Hannah with dizziness.
"HANNAH!!" screamed Skipper.
Hannah exploded awake, sitting up quickly and focusing her eyes. Lilly was laying down in her постель, кровати with both legs in casts, the force of the explosions launched a rock onto her legs and shattered the Кости like glass. Private and Kowalski were standing by their leader, both quiet out of respect, Rico however, was being himself as always, but with еще dignity and respect in his eyes as he stood by Lilly.

Prologue Cover -Duke-
"Quite interesting. This is a new species." A voice сказал(-а) over my solitary confinement. "A пингвин with an ability to fly? How strange."
"But it has teeth too."
It. I thought bitterly that's all they've called me with their sickening tests. I looked at my tattered wings and my pearl colored feathers that were now dyed wine red. It seemed another figure i hadn't noticed saw my red stains too.
"And why is it covered in blood?" there goes the 'it' again.
"Yes, it attacked the other species of its kind by digging it's teeth into the others. Even on its own parents."
"...Was this animal tested on before? did it always have these fangs?"
"No mam. It didn't always have those. it just...appeared... I don't know how. But it is having a dysect. tomorrow evening. We can't cure it. It kills whatever it sees, and it doesn't deserve to live."
And that's when I decided I'd escape.
(So, what do Ты think? Want me to continue? please Комментарий :D)
