Here's the next chapter! I do realize that these are short, so I'll try to post new ones quickly.
Turk: Am I in here?
Me: No! Not yet! Although you will be mentioned in the next chapter.
Turk: Ah, gracias.
Me: Great. Now you just gave the readers a spoiler. Thank you.
Turk: You're welcome.
Me: How did you get in here anyway?
Turk: Uhh...Bye! *dashes out of the room*
Me: Wait! I'm not finished with you!
Monday
The three penguins lined up in front of their leader. "Mission, sir?" asked Kowalski, saluting.
"Right," replied his commander. "Years ago, I received a call of help from our cousins the turkeys."
"The turkeys are our cousins?" repeated Private.
"Yes."
Private's face grew worried. "So our cousins are being butchered as we speak?"
Rico's face, on the other hand, was disturbingly dreamy. Ignoring the look on Rico's face, Skipper continued. "Like a fool, I turned it down."
"Isn't it breaking the penguin code?" asked Kowalski.
Skipper glared at him. "Done here?"
"Affirmative."
"As I was saying," said Skipper, looking at them each in turn. "The mission was to help the turkeys from their annual massacre."
The penguins' faces grew solemn. "So, we're going to help them?" ventured Private.
"Affirmative," replied Skipper. "No American turkey is going to die this year."
He handed out files to each of them. "This is the plan. You have precisely twenty-four hours to know and memorize everything."
"Everything?" repeated Rico in his way.
"Everything," confirmed Skipper.
He walked toward the ladder. "I suggest you get started on it right away." With that, he was gone.
The penguins looked at each other then at the stack of filed each of them was holding. Sighing, Private carried his files to the table. "We'd better get on it."
Kowalski followed. "I should invent something that allows you to put things into your brain without memorizing it," he mumbled, sitting down beside Private.
Rico looked at the files one more time before heading to his bunk.
Turk: Whew! I got away from that nasty writer.
Me: I'm right here, you know.
Turk: Got to go!
Me: Get back here!
