Sorry, Right Number

by Hope1234

Based on one of Stephen King's books. The penguin's get a phone call, and the talker is sobbing. They decide to investigate to find the person, but three questions float in all their minds... 'Why did they make that call' 'Why does it sound so familiar' and 'Who is it'. Will they uncover the mystery, or be drawn into the confusing turns along their journey...

1. The Beginning?

Hope: Yep this is based on Stephen King's Sorry, Right Number. I love that story so much, and I thought of a way to put it into a penguin's story! :D

Chapter 1: The Beginning?

3rd person's pov

It was a dark night in the zoo. The penguins were all up late at night. Skipper was trying to tape the latest episode of Lunacorns for Private. Kowalski was working on some new inventions on the table. Rico was cutting sushi for a late night snack. Suddenly the phone rang. Private, Skipper, and Rico looked up to it, but Kowalski picked it up. "Hello?" Kowalski said into the receiver.

On the other line a sobbing voice was talking- "P-please…. Y-y….. take…. Im… o…". The phone suddenly hung up.

"Who was that?" Private asked.

"I don't know…" Kowalski answered while hanging the phone up….

(2 days later…)

Kowalski was the only one in the base two days later. The phone once again rang, and he picked it up. "Hello?" he said while writing in his notepad.

"Ta…him… hosi…. Now!" the voice sobbed again, and Kowalski could swear that voice sounded so familiar.

"Who is this?" Kowalski asked suddenly frightened.

"Hosi….l…. no!" the voice said again.

"What's a hois?" Kowalski asked confused. Suddenly the phone announced the call had been dropped. Kowalski pondered for a while. That voice sounded so familiar… but Kowalski just couldn't pin it down…

Later that night Kowalski decided to ask the others if they had heard anyone sobbing in the zoo. "No everyone looks alright, and even cheerful with the new party coming up" Skipper answered.

"Why Kowalski?" Private asked. Kowalski explained to them the strange phone call. Before the others could say anything; the phone rang once again. Skipper picked it up, and said- "Yes?".

Then he set it down, and pressed it onto speakers. "Tak…. Hosi…. Soon!" it said over the intercom. "That voice sounds so familiar…" Private commented.

"Yeah a little too familiar to go unnoticed… boys it's time to investigate" Skipper said as they all left forgetting to turn off the phone.

"He's going to die! Don't let him die…" the voice shouted then the phone hung up….

Hope: Oh suspenseful… who was that on the other line? Why do they sound so familiar? Who is going to die?
