"... Jewel escaped without Blu?"

Blu and Jewel were transported in a cage that was in Fernando's hands. The cage was covered with a neglected matting cloth, so that no one would notice what animals illegally transported. The boy took a moment to glance at the darkened minor streets to make sure that nobody was watching him. The lights were true, but they illuminated only the main avenue where the chill went. It was night, it was quite bright, because the stars and the moon shone exceptionally strongly, in addition street lamps were also not the weakest. After a few minutes the messenger reached a heavily neglected house. The windows were killed with boards, there were bottles, cartons, and various rubbish under the door. The door was frustrated and the roof tiles fell from the roof of the flat every few moments.

-Shhh! Pretend to be a corpse! Jewel commanded when she heard the boy knock on the door.

-What? I do not have to pretend I will get a heart attack right away! - Blu said, when he noticed how the female went to the cage, closing her eyes and spreading her silky wings to pretend to be dead.

- Do not distort! Lie down!

-Mmmmm ... okay! Eeee ... - Blu darted with a force falling on the cage. He shook for a few moments, simulating as much as he could. He watched "Animal Planet" at some moments the death scenes of various birds were depicted. Blu hated those moments by hugged Linda's arm. This one just pressed him, laughing at him. Soon Blu became used to these scenes and finally managed to watch them. So in this way he learned phenomenal acting.

-Don't do it! Jewel commanded when she noticed his "fools". At least she was thinking about these strange movements.

-Oh, stop, dead bodies do that ... - said Blu. When they listened more, they heard footsteps approaching the door on the other side. The birds ended their conversation immediately, and Blu ended up drilling and took the same position as Jewel.

- Get in Fernando. said a distant voice for several meters. Fernando walked in, two men stood by the door. One was quite low, he had a big nose and he was quite fat. The other was slim and tall. He had brown skin and had afro hairstyle. The boy only with a faint fear looked into their eyes and then went to the desk, putting the cage gently. Behind the desk sat a third man, the boss of this team - Marcel. The man, when he heard the sound of the cage, immediately turned with the chair, showing his face, but not the eyes that were covered with the glasses he wore. It was also a slim and tall man, he had dreadlocks and brown eyes. He had heavily tanned skin. Fernando frightened Marcel the most when he got up, opened his mouth slightly looking at him.

- Fernando's great job! See what I said about him a moment ago? He got up from the chair and walked to the side of the desk.

- Do you give him half the rate you promised when he comes? the fat man asked, his name was Tipa. Marcel looked at him with astonishment and went to him and slapped him.

- No moron. I told you that he is smart, clever, exalted ... keep young. - saying that he took his step to the messenger, pulling out $ 5 from his pocket. Fernando looked at the notes smiling, you could see something did not suit him, since he looked with astonishment at Marcel, who only smiled maliciously.

-Ey, but this is really half of the rate you promised! Fernando exclaimed, nervous.

-Close ... now let's deal with ... He went to the cage, smiling triumphantly. The smile disappeared even when he saw his goods rather than alive ... he was dead. Marcel looked at them for a moment to make sure they were really dead. Suspicious, he opened the cage, then gently took Jewel in his right hand. He pulled her out of the cage, then sharply placed it on the boy's eyes.

- Tell Fernando, does that look like a living bird !? Well!? shouted a nervous man. Suddenly he felt a terrible pain in his thumb. Jewel took advantage of the moment of his inattention, then bit him with all his strength. Marcel instinctively shouted and released the female from his hand.

-Jewel! Blu shouted, but she did not seem to pay any attention to him. It flew between the members' heads meetings. Marcel was still waving his bitten finger to ease the pain. Tipo and Armando tried to catch Jewel, but eventually at the moment when they almost had it, they fell on each other with a violent fall on the hard floor. Jewel, seeing that, smiled, but still had no way out. Suddenly she saw a small ventilation cage under the roof of the room. Without thinking, she headed up to get there. Suddenly, a nasty Kakadu flew out of the other room. His beak was scratched, he had scars on his left eye, feathers from his body were falling, and in some places there were just so few of them that his unkempt body was visible. When he realized the situation, he saw the fleeing female.

- Not so fast, beautiful lady! - snarled the bird and then flew as fast as he could, just to catch up with Jewel. The blue macaw was just in front of the cage.

-I got you! the cockatoo shouted, but suddenly he noticed how his target was flying through the cage. He was too big to fly through it, so he watched as he moved away to a safe distance.

-Choter, the viper escaped me! he shouted nervously as he sat on the shoulder of his owner, who was Marcel. Tipa and Armando stood behind their partner, they were restless, they were afraid of his reaction. They thought he would get mad, and he would blame them for everything. They were surprised when they saw how their boss just sighed and turned to them, his face calm.

-Well ... one bird escaped ... Nigel! Find this macaw, you have time until tomorrow morning, hurry up! Marcel said commandingly. He opened the creaking door, opening the exit path. Nigel flew out without answer, heading for the sky.

-Chotera, where can she be? - scratched the cockatoo, flying towards the side in which he saw what he was going. Blu after these events felt lonely, lost. He did not know what to do. He just sighed and watched the people who surrounded him.

- Well, let's hope my bird will find our decay. Fernando, take this bird to the next room well? - said the man, opening the door to the next room for the boy. Fernando just nodded his head and walked into the room. He saw a room that was almost full of birds. He looked around with surprise, there were birds of all sorts. They were all in captivity, some were asleep, not screeching as much as they could. The boy began to get a little sore from that head, but finally he noticed an empty seat intended for his goods. He went to the hook and hung the Blu cage on it.

-I'm sorry I even like you. You're cute ... "Fernando sighed, lowered his head and turned back, heading for the door. Blu went to the door of the cage and looked at the boy with regret. Fernando looked at him once again and closed the door. He went to the desk again scratching his left hand.

-Em ... what will you do with him? - Fernando asked carefully, he did not want to make such a beautiful bird harm.

-Don't worry, we'll definitely find him a good home! Now go to your mum ... "Marcel said, pushing him out of the room, directing him toward the exit. Fernando involuntarily left the house, turning around again.

-But I do not have a mother! - Fernando reminded.

-Don't you have dad?

-Ania brother? Armando interjected, leaning forward.

- Even the goldfish? Tipa also grinned, leaning over Marcel's back. He just shook his head from side to side with a sad pattern, signaling a negative answer.

-Oh, are we adopting him? pleaded Tipo Marcel, looking pleadingly at his side. Marcel just smiled to mislead Tip. He suddenly took on a bad face and closed the door with a vengeance.

-No! Marcel answered maliciously, closing the door with impetus. Fernando, he decided to overhear further conversation.

-Good Marcel, we have one blue macaw, but what are you going to do next? Tipo asked, checking if Marcel had closed the door.

Even if Nigel fails - nothing will happen. We are rich! I do not care about his fate, he can even be cooked! Marcel laughed maliciously. The other two joined in laughter, Fernando heard these words, only jumped away from the door. He realized that he probably sent Blu to death.

"Well, at least the female escaped ..." he sighed as he walked away towards the brightly lit city.

-Well beautiful, how should I get out now !? I can not even fly ... - Blu sighed, looking around the room. He saw birds who, as you can see, reconciled with their fate. They lay in their cages, sighing.

"You can not run away ... you are watching us all the time ... damn ..." said the heavily battered bird. He was hanged the most of all, so Blu had no problems locating him.

-Who you are? And what happened to you! "said Blu, scared. At first he jumped slightly when he saw him, but immediately returned to his position.

- I'm Toby, nice to meet you. Do you see those scars? He made it to me ... this reptile ... it's not a bird ... it's a real beast! he shouted. His retrospection caught him when he talked about his tormentor. He remembered how he tried to escape from here, ending with this effect.

-But who did this to you? And why? - Blu asked.

-This white cockatoo ... Nigel ... I tried to escape from here ... I was close, too close to make it possible ... - Toby said, looking at his wounded wing.

"He will not beat me so much when Marcel saw me in such a state," he scolded Niegl so much, "But still ... be afraid of him ..." Toby advised. Toby was a red parrot, his body was covered in blood, and he had scars everywhere. His wings suffered the most, they almost did not have feathers, but if they were they were heavily ragged. At that time, Marcel was about to leave, he had to take care of a "certain" affair in the city, as he put it. He put on his night coat and adjusted his glasses that were now resting on his nose. Tipa and Armando sat at the TV set, had to play "El classico".

-Good guys, birds are supposed to be loaded in the car, let's see that we leave this hole tomorrow morning, did you understand? - Marcel said, making the last amendments to his outfit. Tipo and Armando, without much interest, waved Marcel in farewell.

"I'm afraid something is intriguing you ..." Marcel sighed, closing the door behind him. Meanwhile, Jewel was in the jungle, she hid in an abandoned small hollow, she was full of spider webs, but she did not pay much attention to it; she was very tired with her flight.

"His finger was not too tasty ..." she tried to get rid of Marcel's bitter taste, to no avail. She sat down and stared at the trees surrounding her. She felt remorse when she remembered about Blu. She did not like him for what he tried to do, that is to kiss her, but in her heart she felt she had to help him.

- I would like to help him, but how? This cockatoo is too strong for me ... "She sighed and lay down. She wanted to fall asleep, but she could not. After 15 minutes of rest, she decided to come back for him.

-We must come back for him! I do not know why, but I have to ... - she said to herself, thus leaving her hiding place. In the meantime, Blu wondered how to leave this damn house. Suddenly, from the corner of the room, Blu and Toby heard the moaning. They were like crying, but also laughter.

"Dude, just not him ..." Toby snarled irritably, staring at the direction from which the sound came.

- Light, I see the light! The claw does not fail this time ... I have to get away from here, this way quickly! - they heard a bird banging his head against the cage and falling on it.

-Today we did not succeed, tomorrow we have a day, right? - after these words, they heard again a mixture of weeping and laughter. This sound was unbearable, in addition, the bird in the cage was swaying which seemed annoying noises.

-What was that? Blu Tobi asked. This behavior was not normal, again they heard the same words the same hitting sound and again the same moan.

- Well ... this is Frank. Apparently it's been here for 2 months. He broke down mentally, you can not be with him communicate ... - Toby sighed, turning his back to Blu and lay down in his cage.

-No, I have to get out of here at all costs! - said Blu, he did not want to end up like Frank, as a psychopath. He looked around the room to check if there were objects that could help him get out. Suddenly, in the corner, he noticed the empty cartons, then looked up to see the window that was covered. Blu had learned to open such frames, so he did not have any problems with his. After a few moments the blue macaw jumped to the ground, approaching the cardboard boxes.

"Well, I should hurry, Nigel will probably be back soon," Blu thought, and immediately looked through the boxes to make sure he was not there. After checking all boxes, Blu began moving them under the window. The moonlight was effectively illuminating the grim room. When all the cartons were transported, Blu decided to make them stairs to the window to get out of this terrible place. Once he did, the male began climbing carefully to reach the top stair. When that happened, Blu breathed a sigh of relief when his leg slid out and fell from a fairly high altitude to hard concrete.

"I am in pain ..." he said to himself, now he felt a strong pain in the right wing, so that he could do nothing more than sit and wait for a miracle. Suddenly, a blue bird flew out from under the closed window. Blu when he saw close up who visited him was surprised - It was Jewel! Blu was surprised by the sight, but he was also a little angry at her for leaving without him.

-Jewel? What are you doing here, it is dangerous! he called to her, but she did not listen and flew close to his cage.

- I am begging Blu that I flew without you, I will try to fix it now ...

At this point, resigned Nigel flew into the room, who was disgusted with his defeat. Suddenly, his face was getting red when he saw Jewel standing by the Blu cage.

-Please who we have here! I'm glad that you decided to get caught yourself! Nigel exclaimed, coming up to her and scratching her in the wing. In response, Blu moved his cage so hard that he managed to stun the torso. There was blood running from Jewel's wing. Unfortunately, the female resigned from attempting to rescue Blu after this attack.

"I'm sorry, but I must ..." she said quietly, struggling away through her wounded wing. Blu just looked at her as she flies away and how drops of blood sometimes fly out of her. He sighed and sat down at the corner of his trap. After a moment Nigel flew to him.

- You really thought she would save you, seriously? Nigel laughed maliciously, swaying his cage.

-Don't say that about her! She did what she could ... - Nigel was outraged at this word and embraced Blu by the neck.

- Listen, my friend, she may have tried but sometimes it is not enough. You're staying here and tomorrow you're flying away, do you understand? Nigel squeezed Blu for a few seconds with all his strength, making the blue macaw unconscious.

"Nice dreams, my friend," Nigel smiled, leaving the room. Toby watched this scene, did not move. Ever since he got here, he has got used to such violent scenes.

"Maybe it's better for him ... He will not have to see him anymore," Toby sighed as he lay down to sleep. After a few hours, Blu awoke the roar of the engines. He did not know what was happening, where he was, so he got up immediately. He was still in the same cage but the surroundings have changed a lot. Instead of rotten walls, there were metal walls. The engines were heard so Blu sensed the worst.

-Toby, Toby, I'm begging you, tell me we're not on the plane. - the red parrot has slowly turned.

"Unfortunately, it's the end ..." Toby sighed, looking at his battered body.

"Linda, I miss you so much ..." Blu cringed and began to cry over his fate.

Epilogue

Linda and Tulio were directed by Fernando to the abandoned airport, but it was too late. When they got there just what they could do was observe how the plane was escaping from the airport forever. Linda nestled in Tulia's chest, weeping. Jewel was there too. She tried to make the final attempt to help but when she started to fly, she almost fell to the ground, so she gave up. With tears in her eyes she watched as the only possible partner for her is irretrievably flying away from Rio.
