Unforgotten Past
Chapter 2
Private woke up and stares the clock. It's 500 hours.
"Oh God, I forget my night recon turn!" said him,
worried.
He's going to go down from his bunk when he
remembered about the photo. He takes it from under
his pillow.
'This is Skipper and his brother, I think.' thought him,
staring the unknown male penguin.
'And maybe this is Kowalski's sister... But who is this
baby? I'm very sure it is me, but...'
"Already wake up, son?"
Private turns around. Skipper is standing there, smiling
to him.
"Wait - You called me what?" ask Private.
"Son. I called you son." said Skipper. "C'mon. Follow
me."
Confused, Private follows Skipper to a table. Kowalski
and Rico already there. They four sit around the table.
"So... I bet you're wondering about that photo, right?"
said Skipper.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I took it without permission." said
Private, gives the photo back to Skipper.
"It's fine. I know you found it when you were cleaning
the bunks." said Skipper. He takes the photo and puts
another photo on the table.
"Take a look to that photo." said Skipper again.
Private stares the photo. There are Skipper, Kowalski,
Rico, the baby, and 4 other that he doesn't know.
"This is you." said Skipper, points the baby penguin.
"Yeah, I know." said Private.
"And he's Jack." said Skipper, points the male penguin
with similar body and the same icy blue eyes as him. "
My older brother. Your dad."
"What? He's my dad? So, you-you're my uncle?" ask
Private, surprised and happy at the same time.
"Yes, I am." said Skipper. "This is Cathrine. Kowalski's
older sister. Your mom." said him again, points the
female penguin with similar body as Kowalski's.
"Kowalski is my uncle, too?" ask Private.
Kowalski nods.
"This is Manfredi, Johnson's older sister." said Skipper,
points another female penguin with a kind face, and
similar body as Johnson's and Rico's, besides she's
taller. "And this is Johnson, Rico's older brother." said
him, points a male penguin that similar to Rico, but
without mohawk.
Private stares him spiritfuly.
"Have you ever wondered, why do you have similar
blue eyes as mine; similar body shape as Kowalski's,
besides you're shorter?" said Skipper, smiling.
"Yeah, of course!" said Private. "Um... May I know where
are they right now?" ask him.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in that room gets tenser.
"This is hard, Private. But, they are... resting in peace
now." said Skipper.
"I really miss them..." said Kowalski.
Private gets shocked for life. So that's why he never
meet his parent.
"Why? How's their... death?" ask Private.
"15 years ago. When I was 19. And you were 2. Killed in
a honorable mission." said Skipper.
"We still in Special Force that time. And we can
explain why you were sent to Britain." said Kowalski.
Rico is snobbing.
"Can you tell me what happened?" ask Private.
"Yes, as long as you promise that you won't put yourself in danger after listen to this story." said Skipper.
"A-Alright. I promise." said Private.
Skipper smiles. "You're the best son in the world. Jack and Cathrine must be very proud of you." said him.
Skipper clears his throat. "Well, 15 years ago, we have two teams that the best in Special Force. The A team was Jack, Cathrine, Manfredi, and Johnson. The B team was me, Kowalski, and Rico." said him.
"Let's start the story from the time we got that mission." said Skipper again.
To be continued...
A/N: WOW! Skipper is too old - 34 years old now! Well, I'm sorry for that. I have to find the right time where Private was too young to remember things but Skipper already in Special Force. And Skipper was 19 - it's impossible if Skipper joined the army when he was lower than 17.
If you have questions, just ask it! =)
