Author note: I own nothing. I wrote this in honor of 9/11 and all those who lost their lives. This has no relation to any of other stories. Sad though! Review!

Rememberance

"Skippers log 1800 hours."

"At the moment I am at ground zero honoring our fallen soldiers. Manfredi... Johnson they were both lost here. That fateful will be burned in the back of my mind till the day I die. The smoke and screams and the crashes. It was the most horrifing thing that I've ever witnessed. I should have been with them, but I had shirked some of my duties in order to take a night on the town. My punishment was to do the work while the rest of my team... went of to the World Trade Centers. I finished my work early and waited outside the zoo for them... They never came back."

"Funny, that I survived by not following orders, while they lost their lives...when they did nothing wrong."

"Later on we found out that the tip that we had gotten about Dr Blowhole hatching another plan under the Twin Towers had been a set up. An inside job as well. My best friend, Carson, had been working for the mad man."

"His actions stoned my heart. This day was the begining of the shain reaction that caused me to become me. Mr. Paranioa as Marlene will call me at times. If she only knew about that day, then maybe she might understand why I can't trust anybody."

"Carson was later placed in a prison unit and is being executed as we speak. I can't say that I'm sorry, but I'm not glad about it either."

"I remember the day that I was assigned my team. At first they hated me, but once I found them snooping through my personals they understood why I was so harsh. After that they respected me."

"The animals of the zoo aren't at all found of me and I don't care if they do or not. This is my sector and I'll so my duty to proctect it. Carry on what Manfriedi and Johnson stood for."

"Marlene is the only one that tries. She didn't even know us and she'd ask what was troubling us. We are opposites, but that never seems to get in the way of our friendship. If they were alive I think that if my fallen brothers where alve would have liked her. She's smart and kind. Strong willed as well. Its cute how she tries to get the human's attention. At times she deserves it as well. She doesn't need to be bothered with my issues though. I don't want to taint her innocence."

"So here I am, I can't believe that its been ten years since I last saw them. The team and Marlene have all noticed that've been acting wierd lately but they haven't said a word about it. I think that they all get that I need to be alone..."

"So this is to all those who fell in these attacks. Godspeed to their families and friends. Godspeed."

"Skippers log 1845 hours."

With that Skipper left ground zero for Central Park Zoo, wiping away the persistant tears that had fallen. Two badges rested where Skipper had been but a few seconds ago. Two golden badges, two symbols of honor. They were meant to have been givin to Manfredi and Johnson ten years ago on this date. The thing that he had shirked off was to get them from the goldsmith. Their metals were what had saved his life. Even in death they had saved him.

Taking one last glance at the sight Skipper sighed, "Godspeed Manfriedi, Johnson... Godspeed."

Well there you go! R&R! Godspeed if any of you lost anyone in any of the 9/11 crashes. Godspeed!
