Chapter.3

Skipper was running as fast as he could toward his own habitat, he was out of breath but kept on going until he reached the hatch. Skipper removed the top of the hatch and jumped through the hole into the HQ landing with a thud on the floor gasping for air flipper on his chest to try and steady his breathing, sweat dripping of his forhead. Skipper looked toward the lab and saw the door wide open and got to his feet and ran through the door.

Kowalski was there at the table fiddling with one of his inventions that was still refusing to work. Kowalski looked up to see Skipper and the state he was in "Skipper" he said "whats wrong" Skipper was looking at Kowalski when he suddenly heard a ticking noise "Kowalski i don't have time explain just get out of there!" he said rather quickly rushing over grabbing Kowalski by the flipper and dragging him out of the lab "Skipper what is this about" Skipper could here the ticking getting faster and louder and smoke had already started pooling out of the lab "Kowalski get out, NOW!" Kowalski climed up quickly, Skipper following. When they reached the top they jumped over the barrier before the habitat went up in a puff of smoke.

Kowalski got up of the floor and looked back at the habitat in absolute confusion, he wasn't sure what could have caused it, all he saw was a big cloud of smoke flooding into the air then turned to Skipper who was still on the floor trying to regain his breath. "How did you know that was going to happen". Skipper looked towards Kowalski "I didn't". Skipper sighed. "ill explain later but we have to find Rico, before it's too late"

Suddenly right on que they heard what sounded like a car coming round the corner when they saw a blur right passed them and Skipper spotted the oil on the floor "Rico Stop!" Skipper shouted "Stop that car".Kowalski lifted a button out of nowhere "Kowalski whats that" Kowalski just smiled "emergency stop button" he stated. Skipper smiled at him "you genius" once Kowalski pushed the button the car came to a halt. Skipper breathed a sigh of relief and started running toward the car to see if Rico was ok.

once everyone was accounted for they made their way to Marlene's habitat.
