The next morning they woke up all very early. It was quite a rush there in the HQ, because everyone tried to do the last things he had forgotten to do. "Guys, we have to go now!" Skipper called to create order. "Rico, grab the suitcase!" ordered the leader and they left the HQ and made their way to the airport.
"Skipper, how do we get there?" Private asked, looking inquiringly to his leader. Skipper paused to think. "We will probably have to take a taxi." he replied with a sardonic grin. On the road, they waited until a taxi approached. It stopped and an old woman got out.
Skipper gave them a sign and they quickly scurried inside. As they entered the taxi, Skipper hit the driver with a few well-effective punches and the driver passed out immediatly. "Rico, brake. Kowalski, gas! Private, music!" exclaimed Skipper and his team went to their posts.
Now it could finally start. The leader took the wheel and Kowalski hit the gas. With screeching tires they drove off. "Slow down, today we don´t want to interrupt all of the New York street traffic." Skipper said and tried to steer the car through the streets.
Private sat down at the radio and pushed a few buttons, but on no radio station was music broadcasted that Skipper liked, so they let the news run. It was just a weather report. "Uh, well, they will be very angry at home when heavy rain is pouring all over Manhatten and we are sitting in the sun." Skipper said sarcastically and laughing.
After about half an hour, without any remarkable incidents, they reached the New York airport. They parked the car in an inconspicuous place and left it quickly when the driver came back to consciousness. "Perfect timing." Private said and they went quietly off into the hall.
Skipper was looking for the right gate and as fast as they could, they passed it without getting noticed. " Well that would be accomplished. And now no one should say, our airports are save." Kowalski said. They came to security, but here the penguins had to be very careful.
Skipper watched the other passengers, who were examined by the officials like under the microscope. Their hand luggage was screened with an X-Ray. The leader gave the other a sign, to sneak over to the police officer who checked the contents of the hand luggage on the monitor.
But the woman so focused on her work that she didn´t noticed the penguins getting passed her. Now it was almost done, they only had to wait until the luggage was loaded, because then they could blend with the luggage and stay at the hold of the plain through the whole flight.
Skipper led them quickly to an emergency exit, where they got outside. A hundred meters further their plane was being loaded. The train, carrying the suitcases went past them and they quickly jumped on it and drove on. When they reached the plane there were two men who were charging the baggage.
Now they had to be quickly and carefully to avoid being noticed. But they were lucky, because both men were completely revised and yawning non-stop. In an unguarded moment, the penguins quickly sneaked on board and hid between the trunks, until the aircraft was fully loaded.
When the hatch has been closed they came out to make themselves comfortable among all the suitcases and bags. "So, that would be done. Is it all went well, right?" Skipper said, leaning back to relax.
The others nodded, and made it themselves comfotable too. They didn´t know how long the journey would take, so they built a small camp with the suitcases. Now when all human passengers were on board they started finally. The plane took off the engines and rolled slowly onto the runway.
"Buckle up guys, we´re starting!" shouted the leader as he would be the captain of the aircraft himself. When they started, the penguins felt as they were pressed by the high speed against the bags. But after a few minutes everything was over and they were finally on their way to their long-awaited vacation.
