Marlene took a step back. She let out a small gasp. It was another otter. Much lighter fur than Marlene's, with bright yellow eyes that glistened in the moonlight.

"Marlene, do you know this otter?" Skipper asked in total shock.

"She's my cousin." Marlene said.

"Marlene, is it really you?" Said the strange otter, looking up.

"Rosette. The last time I saw you you left me alone in the forest." Marlene said.

"You don't understand, it was a freak accident! I didn't mean to leave you." The otter tried to move her arms and legs but it was no use.

"What happened at the forest?" said a curious Private.

"Well, one day my father chose us two to go out and look for berries for the pack. Rose use to play around with me, but this time it got a little too out of hand." Marlene began having a flashback as she told the story.

"Hey, I bet I can pick more berries than you!" Rosette said.

"Bring it on!" said a young Marlene.

Marlene scurried off to find as many bushes as possible. Rosette, being as sneaky as ever, tried to scare her behind a tree. Alas, the minute she turned around and made a scary sound Marlene was gone.

"Marlene? Marlene! Where are you?" Rosette shouted. She continued to call her all afternoon.

Meanwhile, Marlene became lost in the woods. She tried to make her way home, but every direction she turned, she saw dark eyes in the shadows. She heard hungry growls, and she collapsed onto the ground. She had woken up in a cage, being transported by a plane to New York City to the Central Park Zoo.

"Lina! I'm glad to see you're safe!" She said.

"I'm not Lina. I'm Marlene." Marlene said, angrily.

"Let Agent Rose go." said a familiar voice in the background. Skipper turned around to see none other than Special Agent Buck Rockgut. He ordered Kowalski and Rico to release Rose. She scampered to her feet, trying to keep a straight face.

"Special Agent Buck Rockgut? What are you doing here?" Kowalski asked. "Weren't you suppose to be searching for the Black Widdow?"

"You mean in Fakeplacesburgh?" Buck Rockgut said while starring at Private.

"Anyways, I've decided to join the agency here in London. It's actually quite a town, if you ask me." he said, while looking at the bright, shining stars in the sky. "Without those beauties, we would be living in the dark."

"That's nice. Now tell me what's going on!" Skipper demanded.

"Easy there, tough guy. You weren't even the right agents that were suppose to be called." Rose said. "But i've heard about you guys. Buck Rockgut told me. I think you would be perfect for the job." she said.

"Whoa whoa. Hold up. How do we know we can trust you, Rosette?" Marlene scolded.

"Listen, Lina. It was an ac-" she was cut off.

"It's MARLENE. MAR...LEAN. MARLENE." she said with rage filling her body. She marched to the edge of the dock and sat there, leaving her legs loose to feel the breeze. Skipper followed her.

"Marlene, snap out of it. The Marlene I know doesn't cry for these types of things." Skipper said, trying to make her feel better.

"I'll try. I just can't look at her the same anymore. She LEFT me, Skipper. I was taken from my family. I had to live in the zoo from when I was a little otter to today. You know how hard it was to forget that?" Marlene explained.

"Now Marlene. She was just playing around. Give her a chance. It wasn't her fault or your fault that you were taken away. Just look at the positives. You could talk to her about your family. Heck, at least your able to see a family member. I haven't seen any of my family members since Manfredi and Johnson took on the Koovorines back in Australia."

"The Koovorines?" Marlene asked in curiosity.

"Yes, the Koovorines. Those dreadful kangaroos were the reason why Johnson's beak has always been crooked. There was black eyes and bruises left that day. I will never forget it. After that, I never talked to them agian. They were ripped to shreds. I rather not talk about it right now though. We're focusing on you now. Go to talk to your cousin, Marlene." Skipper said.

"You know what Skipper, maybe I will." Marlene began to catch a small smile. She slowly rose, and saw Rosette walking towards her.

"Lina is now available. Your request to speak with her has been approved" Marlene said in a robot voice that she and her cousin use to do when they were little. Rosette laughed.

"Anyways, Rose. How is my family?" Marlene asked.

"Well, Lina. You're family's fine, it's just that-"

"Cool! What about my dad?" Marlene quickly questioned.

"That's the thing. You're dad disappeared about eight years ago." Rosette said in a pitful voice.

"W-what? But, what happened?" Marlene lost her smile.

"Well, I told him what happened, and he went running, trying to find you."

And that's when the rest of the flashback hit her.

Marlene saw herself hanging onto a rope trap type contraption as the helecopter was about to take off.

"Marlene!" she heard her father cry.

"Daaadd!" Marlene yelled.

Marlene's father ran after the helecopter, and grabbed onto the ropes.

"Dad! Hold my hand! Don't fall!"

"Marlene, listen to me. Whatever you do, don't forget about your family. Don't forget, about me." he said. Those were the last words Marlene heard coming out of her dad. He let go of the ropes and Marlene watched as his shock filled body plummaged to the ground. She began to cry.

"He was never heard from again." Rosette finished.

Marlene saw herself in the reflection of the water and saw a tear break up the picture as the drop touched the ocean.

"This is why I am who I am today. I wont ever let this happen to anyone ever again. One of my main goals though, is to find your dad. I know he's still alive. Somewhere. Thinking about you." she finished, seeing that Marlene wanted to be alone. "Be strong, Lina. We'll find him some day." she said as she walked towards the group.

One final tear collapsed into the water as Marlene stood up, her fist closed up tight, and she turned around and headed for the others.
