Chapter two

Captured!

Jewel slowly lifted her head and opened her eyes. She felt something thing, but strong that was wrapped round her. It was a rope. "Who ever tied me up, this isn't funny!" she complained. A voice echoed of the walls. More of a whisper really. "I don't think she'll understand, besides, it's great fun," a voice said. Then the voice grew louder, but it was still clear that it was the same voice. "I am Skipper and you are trapped, by me of course!" An evil sounding laugh bounced off the walls. "Great, just great. I mean I am trapped by a guy who can't show himself and my sisters are nowhere to be seen. I mean what kinda' name is Skipper," Jewel muttered. The voice seemed to change into a groan. "It's my name and if you dare to mock me, your dead, you hear me, dead!" it shouted. Jewel started laughing. "Um...Skipper she understands us...the...that's b...bad, isn't it?" Another voice said. It sounded softer. "Naive little Private, you know that I am always prepared. She'll just have to stay here forever then, I mean, we can't let her intervene," the first voice answered. Wait...what...forever?! Jewel thought. "Skipper, wouldn't it be more polite to introduce ourselves.

As the lighting in the room came on, shock came to Jewel. She tried to wipe her eyes, thinking it was all just a strange dream, or her becoming mad, but it was no use. After ten minutes of trying to wake up, she realised she was awake. "Damn it! If I knew this was gonna happen, I would have begged my mum so that she stay!" Jewel moaned, making the flat-headed penguin in front of her smile in amusment. "Come on... you gotta be kidding!" she groaned as she realised that the first voice belonged to the penguin in front of her. Skipper and Private shook their heads. The second one's cute, but am sure the first one is all commando like, nothing would surprise me now! thought Jewel sighing. Private looked at her and asked "are you all right ma'am?"

"I have been better, but thanks for asking," Jewel said with a sad,sad smile. Private felt sorry for the girl. "Soldier, no time for your phony Brittish accent," Skipper said. Before Private could say anything, Skipper started questioning Jewel. "Are you a spy? What do you know? Have you been spying on us before? Who's your boss? What's your plan? And why did you come to this zoo?" Jewel tried to catch everything, but Skipper was just talking too fast. "No, I am not a spy," she just answered.

Kowalski had come into the room and so did Rico with the other three girls. They woke up, being just as confused as Jewel. "I think I may have given that one less sleeping gas than the others," he announced pointing at Jewel. "I know their names, might be some help. The one you Skipper, had talked to, is Jewel Rose Fraser and the others are Jemma, Helen and Natalie, all have the same surname and are positively identical quadruplets." Skipper smiled and then frowned. If the girls told this to anyone, there would be trouble. He had to keep his team and himself secretive and there was only one way to do this. "Well, seeing as the four of you know all of our names and that we are soldiers, I am going to have to make sure that you can't utter a word about us, " Skipper said. "And since Rico's suggestion would be slightly messy, I'll go with the suggestion Kowalski will come up with. Kowalski option!"

"Aye Skipper, got one right away!" Kowalski replied, showing a scribble that looked slightly like a ray gun covered in string. "Damn it why can't I read!" Complained the smart penguin. He knew he wrote the things name down wrong and that he won't be able to read his writting anyway. Helen almost felt sorry for him.

Kowalski did in the end manage to get his thing done and the thing did look a lot like a ray gun. "It's ready Skipper," Kowalski announced, feeling pleased with himself. The four girls were sitting, tied the floor with bored expression for four hours and were happy that this would be over and done with. Skipper allowed him to aim the ray gun at the four girls. Kowalski pressed it and a laser beam shot at the quadruplets.

Jemma woke up feeling something hard. Well, I can't be dead, that's for sure, she thought. She looked around to see her sister when she noticed something odd. Is this room getting bigger, or am I getting smaller? She thought.

Ooh... I wonder what happened here! I hope you have enjoyed this chapter, although I know it's not a very long chapter. Please review.
