So, I've had alot of questions about Akela and ACIS. So, this chapter starts around them and then flips to Grace. Rose, Lea and Sal are introduced in here to!

Akela out hi nose to the ground and struggled to pick up any smell.

"Akela, give it up." the penguin with the birthmark sighed.

"No." he snapped, "You don't get it Rose. I was in the building. I could have done something."

"Akela, you couldn't have done anything." The otter sighed.

"I could have done something. Nobody would have died if I had tried to stop him!"

The lemur stepped forward next, "I told you that-"

Akela shook his head slowly, "I can't believe this. I could have done something, anything."

Hawk limped over, "Come on. We don't need you hurt more." the older wolf spoke slowly.

"I won't get hurt." Akela put his nose back to the ground. He knew that there wasn't anything he could do scent wise. Even if he found someone, it would be too late. 4 days. Akela shook his head.

"Sarge is planning something." Kitka snapped. "I don't know what but-"

"He's an agent, He won't hurt her."Akela rolled his eyes and started walking towards the east hall.

"Akela, just listen-"

Suddenly, the whole building shook with the sound of an explosion.

When Akela came to, he was trapped under a door. Carefully, he tried stood up and to figure out what had happened. "Oh, damn." he winced as he realized some type of metal was embedded in his right leg. "That's gonna hurt in the morning." He looked around, there was nothing left. "Kitka?" he asked the scilence.

The wolf crawled out from under the door. He stumbled over a few walls and then heard a voice. "Sarge?" Akela whispered. "How is he- Kitka was right."

Akela found his way to a place where the ceiling/first floor had caved in (Remember the ACIS building is underground except for the first floor) and pushed through.

The sunlight hurt his eyes, but when Akela realized that he was the only agent, other than Sarge, that was out, he forgot all about the stupid sun.

"You betrayed Grace, and ACIS." Akela growled

"It's a dog eat dog world, only the strong survive." Sarge shrugged.

Akela jumped forward and tackled the commading officer. "You shouldn't be alive." he growled. "I bet Grace figured you out, so you had her go on an immpossible mission and when se survived, you blew HQ up."

"You are smart. Maybe I should have killed you when I had the chance."

Akela just growled.

"You won't kill me, Akela. I know you won't, you could. But you won't."

Akela picked up on a faint sound. He broke concentration for a moment and looked over his shoulder at the hole in the ground.

When he looked back, the german shepard was gone.

Rose half smiled at Akela, trying desperatly to help him.

"Why don't we go to visit Grace, again." Sal suggested.

Akela allowed the lemur to push him away from ACIS.

Grace yawned, the sun was just starting to come up and she was feeling last night. "Oh karma you bitch." she muttered.

"Wakey, Wakey." a voice said.

Grace growled and rolled over, "No."

"Uhh- Grace- wake up...Wake up... Waaaaakkkkeeeee uuuuuuuuuuupp."

Grace slowly blinked, only to find herself looking right at Julien. "Oh, please tell me I just passed out here."

"Uh ok then, You just passed out here. Right now. You didn't party with da king an such thing."

"Wait, I'm back in the zoo?"

"Uhh, yeah." Maurice walked over next.

"How did I get here?"

"Beats woke up and you were there."

"That's nice."

"I told you I could go anywhere you could." Alexander jumped into the exhibit. "And looks like I did."

"I'm going to you with a stick." the wolf growled.

"Skipper said he didn't want you in the zoo. So I didn't bring you to the zoo. You're in the zoo but not."

"That doesn't make any sense at all."

"Maybe because you can't handle your alcohol."

"Funny. Really mature."

"Eh-Hem." Grace and Alexander both spun around to see Skipper.

"I told you to leave." he seemed mad.

"And I did." Grace tried to remain calm.

"Then why are you still here?" Skipper landed in front of Grace.

"Alexander-"

"What were you thinking?"

"Will you stop it!" Grace demanded, stepping between the penguin and the water monitor. "You cannot blame Alexander. Because I faintly seem to remember a certain penguin that would have done the same thing."

"Grace, that's beside the point!"

"Coming from the penguin who is scared of needles." Grace muttered.

"I'm sorry there. Are you happy?"

"Fairly content, yeah."

Skipper rolled his eyes and left.

"Why did you do that?" Alexander asked.

Grace shrugged. "Don't get used to it."

"But you hate me."

"I don't hate anyone." Grace smiled to herself, and walked off.

There is no Grace and Alexander those of you who were wondering. It's just not happening and nor will it EVER happen. Just throwing that out there. Because no matter how many times I tell you people. You just don't listen! Keep reading!
