Chapter 7

It had been three days since they buried Kowalski, the zoo has been really quiet without him and the atmosphere in the HQ was deadly silent. Skipper just lay in his bunk staring at the ceiling and Private and Rico sat bored in front of the TV just flicking through different channels.

In his bunk Skipper was in his own world, thinking of the events that has happened over the past week. "It just doesn't make sense" he thought to himself "how is it i saw the deaths before they actually happened, how is it i couldnt have prevented it" Skipper was asking himself questions that he just didn't have the answer to. "Why me?, Why Kowalski?".

Rico and Privates attention was diverted when they saw Marlene approaching them "hey guys" she said giving each of them a hug, she turned and looked toward skipper "how is he doing". Private looked sadly at her "it's hard to tell Marlene, he has barley spoken a word". she sighed then slowly moving over to Skipper she put a hand on Skippers shoulder. "Skipper" he looked at her "are you okay" she whispered. he sighed slowly swinging his legs over the side and jumping to his feet on the floor he looked at her face to face "I miss him" he whispered barely audible. she sighed putting her hand back on his shoulder and pulling him into a hug "i know i do too".

Skipper pulled out of the embrace and looked behind her to see the other two before pulling her into the lab to talk privately. they each took a seat around the table and without wasting any time. "im worried for you and the others"

Private and Rico

Rico was bored of watching TV and announced to Private that he was going for a walk "Priate i goin out" Rico grunted. Private didn't have the time to answer him before he exited the HQ.
