A/N: In response to a message from Ems602 I've decided to post this story along side Operation: Back to Basics. The two stories will take turns updating thus meaning that updates will be more organised :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar. So without further ado - Enjoy! :D
Prologue:
"Hurry! He's losing a lot of blood!" A man called over the frantic voices of the others around him.
"Skippah!" A frantic British voice called.
"Kowalski!" Another voice spoke, his tone barely hiding the fear in his voice.
"I'm trying Skipper!" The first voice replied, it was stressed and sad. There were a bunch of sounds with doors closing and voices most of the voices began fading.
He opened his eyes slightly, the blur of the moving ceiling made him nauseous tilting his head he spotted a familiar face, he smiled as he watched the scientist scribble on the notepad before him. He coughed his chest tight and burning, it made breathing with his dry throat feel like he was choking.
The scientist looked at him, his eyes widening slightly a small smile on his face, though his eyes showed how worried he really was. Rico could tell how bad his predicament was by looking at him, he smiled again despite his spinning head that forced him to close his eyes.
"Stay with me Rico!" Kowalski's voiced commanded, Rico looked at him with another smile. The room had stopped moving now, which slightly concerned Rico. His fear must have shown for his friends expression changed. "You're going to be fine." He spoke placing a hand on Rico's shoulder.
Rico gripped Kowalski's arm, afraid to let go. He was afraid to close his eyes now fearing that he would never wake up, he didn't need to be Kowalski to know that his situation was grim. Heck he bet even Private knew how bad this was. Kowalski's grip tightened but neither let go, they continued to stare at each other preferring their own world to the tragic one they were in.
There were other voices in the room they spoke about "prepping a patient" and how to address injuries with complicated names. Rico's head spun making him groan in pain it was like waking up to the sun blinding your eyes after you've been in the dark too long. He couldn't stop the action of closing his eyes, it helped slightly as it blocked out the bright lights above him.
"Rico?" Kowalski questioned. Rico hummed, it was odd his friend sounded so distant yet the grip on his arm told him different. "Rico?" He questioned again. Rico hummed again sounding more asleep this time as his grip on the scientist seemed to loosen. "Stay with me Rico." The scientist growled to his friend.
Rico laughed slightly. "'M 'ot goin' 'o'ere 'Walski." Rico smiled as he felt himself relax the world falling into darkness with all his pain being left behind for when he woke up. Surely his friends wouldn't be too mad at him sleeping, after all his head was giving him a lot of trouble and he wanted to sleep off the sickly feelings that came with his tired body. He smiled, he wasn't going to sleep too long, besides someone would always wake him later if he overslept.
A/N: Sorry it's short but hopefully you won't have to wait too long for an update :D
