Yay! A sequel! Just like I said I would get you.
DB was sitting at the table just waiting for the others to get up. He was drinking his coffee while thinking. "I hate that guy." He looked up to see if anyone heard him, but they were all still sound asleep. He shook his head. He was thinking about his "partnership" with Blowhole. "I will kill that dolphin."
"What dolphin?"
He looked up to see Skipper standing there. "Oh. Dr. Blowhole. How long have you been up?"
"Only a little while. Why do you want to kill him so bad?"
DB stared him straight in the eye. "If one of your men were to be captured by someone and then tortured wouldn't you want them killed?"
"I see what you're saying. How long have you been up?"
"Since around midnight."
"Thinking too much about Blowhole?"
"Ya. you could say that."
Striker dropped down the fishbowl hatch. "DB. Can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure. Let's go to the top of the clock tower. I'll be back soon."
"Alright. Just don't come bac with another mission."
"i won't." He chuckled a little before he left.
Clock tower
The two got up to the top of the clock tower and Striker turned around and put a hand on the clock while leaning towards it. "Are you okay?" Striker just put a hand out towards DB to keep him from coming any closer. "What's wrong?"
Striker turned around. "I know you're working for Blowhole." DB opened his mouth to say something, but Striker held up a hand to keep him from saying anything. "Don't try to deny it. I followed you to the secret base he built for you in the park." He then mouthed something to DB that made DB smile a little.
"Are you going to tell anyone?"
"No. I know that you wouldn't work for him willingly." He gave DB a little wink. DB let out a sigh. "Also, I did a little looking on the zookeeper's computer and there are two transfers coming in today. One for Marlene and the other for the dolphins."
"do you know who it is?"
"How can I?"
"good point. Let's go."
H.Q.
While the two were gone the others had gotten up. When DB and Johnathan dropped down, Skipper asked, "Wha did you guys talk about?"
DB crossed his flippers. "Skipper, it was a private talk for a reason." He uncrossed his flippers. "But, he did tell me that there are two zoo transfers coming in. One for Marlene and one for the dolphins."
Skipper rubbed his beak in a thoughtful manner. "Hm. We need to check out who they are. Let's get to Marlene."
Otter habitat
The penguins arrived at the same time as the crate. Once the zookeeper walked away, the penguins jumpe down and Malrene screamed. "Can't you guys give some kind of warning before you just jump in here?"
"Well, i would have, but that would have alerted the zookeeper to our presence, so, ya. The crate should have been enough of a warning for you to know that we were coming, anyways."
"I just didn't expect such a timely response."
"We were here at the same time as the zookeeper."
"I see."
"Rico, crowbar." Rico hacked up a crowbar and DB caught it, imediately opening the crate.
DB looked in and an arctic mink came out. She looked around and seen the penguins and an otter. "Is...is this habitat shared by multiple species?"
"Well, now that you're here, yes. We just came to get the crate opened. We are actually the habitat next to you. My name's DB. Oh, here Rico."
Rico grabbed the crowbar and swallowed it. "Um. Isn't that alittle dangerous?"
"He actually has mich more dangerous stuff in his gut."
"what kind of stuff?"
Skipper and DB answered at the same time, "Classified."
"Okay."
"Anyways, the tall penguin is Kowalski and the scientific genius. The little guy is Private. The leader is Skipper. your roommate is Marlene. The otter."
"nice to meet you all."
Johnathan then looked down from the top of the crate. "Hello. My name's Johnathan. Or, you can call me Striker."
"Okay."
"Well, see ya. We wish we could hang around longer, but we gotta get to the dolphin's habitat. Let's roll!" The penguins and badger left.
"You'll get used to them. They also show up here often without warning."
"I'll be fine with that. Especially if that cute one shows up often."
"Private?"
"No. DB. He's really good looking."
"You won't get him."
"just watch me." The arctic mink then walked off otwards the edge of the habitat to watch DB leave. She sighed.
Dolphin's area
They got there and noticed the new dolphin swimming around in there. The dolphin came up. "Hello."
"Hello. We were here to see if you're enjoying your new home."
"Yes I am. Though, I wish my sister were here."
"who's your sister?"
"Doris."
"Could it be the same Doris that's turned down Kowalski here time after time?"
"Yes! It is. She's told me that a penguin kept on wanting to go out with her."
Kowalski started to tear up. "DORI-I-IS!" He then ran off crying.
"Ya. He's still taking it hard."
"poor guy."
"Anways, my name is DB. You know who Kowalski is by his reaction."
"Ya."
DB then motioned to Rico. "That is Rico. He can't really talk. He is the destruction expert of the group. He's also a bit loco." he then motioned to Private. "That is Private. He's the youngest member of the group." Thne he motioned to Skipper. "That is Skipper. He leads the group." He then motioned to Johnathan. "That is Johnathan. Or, you can call him Striker."
"So what do you, Johnathan, and Kowalski do?"
"Well, Kowalski is the brains. Me, I just work where I'm needed. I usually work for a different group, but I thought it would be nice for a change of pace. Johnathan. Let's just say he's called Striker for a reason." Johnathan then tackled DB amd the two started fighting.
"Shouldn't one of you do something?"
"They're just messing around."
It ended a few minutes later with DB having his knee on Johnathan's back. "You've gotten better."
"So have you." DB pulled Johnathan up. "But, I'll eventually get you."
"We'll see about that." DB then turned to Doris's sister. "What's your name?"
"Diane."
"Do all dolphins have their names start with 'D'?"
"Most, but not all."
"Ah. Well, Johnathan and me worked for the same organization until he got separated on a mission. We thought he was dead. But, now that we know he's alive, we'll be happy to take him back."
"and I'm more than happy to come back. Can't wait to see all the changes that have been made."
"well, we gotta go. See ya later."
"See ya!" Diane then swam down again.
"Let's see where Kowalski is."
"i have an idea."
"alright, skipper. You do know him best."
Lemur habitat
Kowalski was sitting at the juice bar drinking a smoothie and looking at a picture of Doris. Maurice was standing behind the bar cleaning a cup. "Still taking the Doris thing hard?"
"Ya."
"well, you're always welcome here to get your mind off of it."
"Thanks."
"Eh, Maurice. Why is dis penguin drinking a smoothie that is supposed ot be going into my stomach and not his?"
"Your majesty, he is here because he's still hurting about Doris. He just needs to get his mind off of it."
"Ah. you are to be having troubles with de women?"
"Ya."
"Well, de best thing to do is to make dem think you are over dem and den dey will begin to crawl back to you."
"And, how many women do you have?"
"Um, none, but dey are about to be crawling back to de king."
"I'll believe it when I see it."
"Kowalski." Kowalski turned to see the others standing there."I know it can be hard to be turned down continually, but you gotta get over it at some point. Tell ya what. I'll take you to a party that you don't need a date or tickets to go to. There's one tonight. Maybe you'll meet someone there."
"Alright."
"I think that sounds like a wonderful plan. How about we all go?"
"Sure. Maybe we can also invite Marlene. I'm sure she would love to go."
"Alright. I'll go ask her." Skipper then slid off to get Marlene.
Johnathan shook his head at DB. The Arctic mink came up to where they were all at. "Hello."
"Oh, hi there...I'm sorry, I never got your name."
"It's Angie."
"Hm. There are a few seventies songs that use that name. Should be easy for me to remember. What are you doing here?"
"She is obviously here to see de king, which is me. So, how would you like to be my queen?"
"I would rather eat mud than marry you."
"Wow. Couldn't you have been nicer about it?"
"No. he's the kind that you have to be straight forward to."
"You are a fiesty one. But, I know dis game. It is you playing de game of hard to get."
"No. I'm just telling you the truth. So, just get away from me before I seriously hurt you."
"I would listen to her if I were you. So, why are you here?"
"I seen you guys come here, so I just wanted to talk with you. You seem nice enough. but, now I'm regretting coming here. Next time, I'll just wait until you go back to your habitat. See ya. Hot stuff." She said the last part quietly, but DB heard it.
"Striker, we need to talk in private again."
"Alright. Back to the same place as earlier today?"
"Yep."
clock tower
"Why did you make that suggestion to Skipper?"
"i need to try my hardest or else Blowhole will..."
"Use the blackmail."
"Ya. Anyways, I called you up here because just before Angie left, she said very quietly,'Hot stuff,' but I don't know who she was saying it to."
"Ah. So, someone has caught her eye."
"Yep. Wanna help me find out who it is?"
"Spy time." DB smiled, as it was a phrase they use to use all the time.
Well, how do you feel about DB, knowing he's being forced to do what he's doing? Will they find out that the Arctic Mink likes DB, or will the spying just make it hard for them to determine? Find out next time!
