Chapter 3: double trouble

Private's pov

Kowalski and i walked towards the only habitat we knew that had an animal who could take care of kids. Kowalski was holding skipper while he was lost deep in thought.

I held rico going over the problems in my head. Skipper would never let Kowalski invent again after what happened. Rico would not be happy about this. I myself thought that Kowalski would never forgive me. He would never let me help again. And it was all my fault.

I silently looked to the ground as i thought of all the things i and Kowalski would never do together. Sure i had liked being with skipper. I would love to spend time with him and rico, but I feel that I never understood Kowalski.

Kowalski was always busy on some invention that would blow up in their faces only to have skipper yell at him. He wondered why Kowalski didn't give up. Whenever skipper yelled at me; I would never do it again. Yet Kowalski has some passion that keeps him held tight.

Like a baby to a mother when they are just born. What fueled Kowalski so much that he would risk skipper's last straw to do it. I looked up to the scientist. He was looking ahead instead of down. He seemed to never have a last glamour of hope.

Like he would go on for hours for the ones he held dearest. I looked closely in his eyes. In his eyes was a fierce fire that said I will never give up on my friends. That filled me with a little joy. Oh how i loved the way Kowalski would never break down.

But it also puzzled me. Why would Kowalski never show a tear or get angry like skipper or rico. He never yelled at anyone before. What was his will to keep his life from such sadness and anger?

But then it hit me like a stone against water. I had never seen Kowalski excited about something as much as I have. Why did Kowalski hide these emotions from everyone? Did he have some reason or did he not have emotions? This hurt me to think about. Kowalski having no emotions.

They finally reached Marlene's habitat. Usually we busted down this door in impact, but now we lightly knocked. I wondered if Kowalski did this because he did not want to hurt baby skipper or that he feels they have never been friendly to her.

No it has to be the first one. Kowalski doesn't feel anything like the rest of us. Marlene opens the door surprised that we were there. Marlene then noticed the babies, and seemed to know the reason we were here.

She let us in, and closed the door behind her. She walked to the dining table. She motioned for us to join her. We did, and then she says: "tell me what happened".

R: well I think this chapter had more words then the last, but hey the more the better.
