"Rico, dynamite!"
Skippers urgent, demanding voice rang through the sewer. Rico hacked up the glowing red stick and threw it into one of the pipes. KABOOM! A blast of water shot out of the pipe, along with twenty или so of the крыса King's servants.
"So rodents, how is your plan going to block the sewer system?" asked Skipper, smirking and putting his flippers on his hips.
"Not well, actually," сказал(-а) one of the rats. They stood up, shook the water out of their fur, and ran off screaming.
The team exchanged high-fives, then exited the sewer back into the zoo.
"Well boys, we foiled the sewer rats' plan! Let's celebrate by getting snow cones. I've got a real sweet tooth today!" Exclaimed Skipper.
The other three cheered and followed their leader into the park. Kowalski and Rico walked behind the others, occasionally holding flippers when they were sure they wouldn't be caught. It was hard for the two of them to get any alone time, especially since the four penguins were always together. In fact, the only time they did get to be alone was when Kowalski would go into his lab and Rico would follow. Even then, there was a chance Skipper или Private would walk in on their cuddling. They both knew they would have to tell them eventually, but Kowalski сказал(-а) they should wait for just the right moment.
They let go when they reached the snow cone stand. Rico distracted the people by setting off a small smoke bomb while Skipper swiped four of the snow cones. With the Холодное сердце treats secured, the team sneaked away undetected.
"Skippah, do Ты think we could eat our snow cones in the park? Like a picnic?" Asked Private. He took another lick of вишня and wiped his beak. "It's really nice out today,"
Skipper thought for a moment. "Sure Private,"
They walked to a secluded area and sat down a blanket Rico coughed up. Kowalski sat Далее to Rico, Skipper and Private on the other side. Everyone ate with ease. Everyone but Skipper that is. He couldn't shake the feeling they were being watched. His eyes scanned the trees, but he couldn't see anything.
"Skipper, is something wrong?" Asked Private, who noticed his leader was now up and searching through the bushes.
"We're being watched," He stated.
"Well considering we're in the park, there are several Животные living here," сказал(-а) Kowalski.
Skipper turned to look at the taller penguin. "It's not an animal! It's something else. But it's watching us! I can feel it."
"Skipper, I'm sure you're just being-"
Suddenly something very large crashed through the bushes.
It was a human. And not just any human.
"Officer X!" Shrieked Private. The four birds scrambled to get away as the crazed animal catcher ran at them.
"You penguins got me fired!" He cried. "Got me put in jail for 'damaging public property'! And now I'm gonna catch Ты no matter how long it takes!"
Skipper knew they couldn't fight him. He managed to take down Joey in a matter of seconds! Their best bet would be if they could manage to get back to the zoo, and fast.
"Split up and head back to the HQ!" Skipper shouted.
The team all went in diverse directions, each taking a different route back. Officer X looked around, until deciding to go after Rico. The manic пингвин slid on his belly, racing ahead. He ducked through trees, throwing everything he had in his stomach at the man, until he Остаться в живых sight of him. Growling, he turned around to see if he was being followed, then turned back only to ram into Kowalski, who had been sliding on his belly. They both fell back, Kowalski holding his head in pain.
"OW!" The taller bird moaned before standing up. He took in his surroundings. Officer X must have gone off to chase the others. Rico was a few feet away from him, a confused look on his face from the collision.
"Are Ты OK, Rico?" He asked. He walked over and extended a flipper to help him up. The shorter bird got up and shook his head yes. So, they were both безопасно, сейф for now. But what about Skipper and Private? Maybe they had already gotten back? If that was the case, they better get back, too.
"Come on." He took Rico's flipper and led him in the direction of the zoo. It seemed like Rico had taken most of the impact, as he was a little unsteady on his feet, but after a while he managed to slide alongside Kowalski.
They were just in sight of the zoo when the worst happened. A клеть, ящик fell on вверх of them, and they were thrown into semi-darkness. A few streams of sunlight came through the breathing holes.
"Found Ты birds!" They heard a voice shout. "The other two got away, but at least I got you!"
Kowalski searched could just make out Rico in the dark.
"Rico," He whispered. "Do Ты have anything in your stomach to get us out of here?"
Rico coughed a few times, but came up empty. He growled in frustration. He had used all his weapons trying to get rid of officer X. Rico shook his head, before remembering Kowalski might not be able to see him.
"Nu-Uh," He сказал(-а) sadly.
The taller пингвин sighed, before punching at the crate. No use. They weren't strong enough to break it open with just their flippers. If only they had a crowbar right now... They felt the клеть, ящик being moved, and put onto truck, before being driven away. Where were they going? Kowalski tried to look through one of the holes, but they were too small to see much of anything besides flashes of green. Well, they would just have to wait until they got there.
Kowalski huffed and sat down Далее to the other bird. Skipper and Private were both fine, but what about them? Was Officer X planning on harming them? He shuddered at the thought, suddenly chilly as cold air blew in through the holes on the crate. He snuggled up against Rico for both warmth and comfort. They weren't sure how long it had been since they'd been captured, but Kowalski guessed at least a few hours. The light that came into the клеть, ящик had slowly seeped away. Eventually, they both fell into a restless sleep, their arms wrapped around each other.
--------------------------------------------------
Private and Skipper were both in a panic. The other penguins had not yet returned. They told every animal both in and out of the zoo to keep a lookout for them, but it was still a mystery. Skipper knew they had been captured by Officer X. But how could they get him back? They barely knew anything about this man. They didn't know where he worked now, if he even had a job. They hadn't scraped together enough info about him yet.
"I take full responsibility for this," сказал(-а) Skipper. They were in the HQ, going through the files they had made for every villain. There was a file for Dr. Blowhole, the Red Squirrel, even one for Julien (Skipper had insisted) But Private could not yet find one about Officer X.
"It's not your fault, Skipper." сказал(-а) Private. He pulled out another file, then stuck it back in.
"I'm the one who told everyone to трещина, сплит up!" Skipper cried. "If we hadn't, Kowalski and Rico wouldn't have been captured by that deranged maniac!" He pulled out a file, then threw it to the ground. How long until they found the info on this guy? It was a lot harder with only two sets of flippers. In fact, the team was quite empty without them. They were two men short. They had no easy access to weapons, или any options.
Just as Private felt like they were never going to find it, he pulled out a manilla folder labeled "Officer X"
"Found it!" He Shouted. Skipper ran up to the other пингвин and opened the file. Marlene came down through the fishbowl hole just then, a hopeful look on her face.
"Guys!" She screamed, but they were too busy looking through the papers. Marlene snatched the file from their hands. "Guys!" She сказал(-а) again. They looked up at her. "I know where Kowalski and Rico are!"
