2. Chapter one: Lookout Duty

October 17th 2014

7:00 P.M Eastern Standard Time

(Private's POV)

"Well Private," Skipper said, "looks like your on lookout duty tonight." "Be extra valiant," Kowalski advised, "We don't what a repeat of the Scorka incident." "Scorka," Skipper said, "deadliest predator of the skies." "Private I upgraded the binoculars with the latest Night vision technology and a new and improved heads-up display," Kowalski said, "good luck." "See you in the morning Private," Skipper said, "And if Dr. Blowhole shows up let us know immediately." Skipper handed me a walkie-talkie and sent me on my way. I went out the secret entrance behind my prize winning fish and into the night.

"Be extra valiant theirs nothing out here," I said to myself, "fire engine…jack-o-lanterns…Taxi cabs…Police at a crime scene…ambulance." "Lookout's log…" I said speaking into the tape recorder Skipper leaves at the Night Lookout post, "9 P.M Eastern Standard Time…Just a normal New York night nothing out of the Ordinary." I ended the recording and went back to duty. Late Night traffic…more cabs…another Fire truck…City Bus…Another boring night of lookout duty.

A few hours later after my midnight report I dosed off for a minute before bolting back awake. "I need to stay awake," I said return to binoculars and scanned the street. Let's see… Fish delivery truck…More Traffic…The Graveyard Eight. Wait…The Graveyard Eight. "No it can't be," I said, "must be sleep messing with my focus." I made sure I was not dreaming I returned to duty. I scan the street again and saw the haunted bus drive by, "I really should tell someone about this."

I left my post and ran screaming back to base. "No one is safe," I said as I past Roy's, the chimps, Marlene's, the Bada and Bing, Burt's, and the lemur's habitats. "No one is Safe…" I said, "The End is near!" "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Before you put us all thru that again tell us what's going on," Skipper said the rest of the zoo behind him. "Is it another Skorca!" the flamingo said. "No it's worst much worst," I replied. "Two Skorcas" Julian said, "a whole pod of Skorcas!" "No…" "Two Pods of Skorcas?" Mort asked. "It was…" I said, "…The Graveyard Eight!" As soon as I finished the last word the sky lit up with lighting followed by the boom of thunder.
