Not much to say. Here's chapter 8.
Disclaimer: I only own Dave and nothing else
(Vet's office)
The penguins returned to the vet's office to report their search. The Bronx team and Skippet were still looking through Dave's mother's file.
"Did you boys find anything?" Skipper asked.
"Nope," Kowalski said.
"No," Private said.
"Nada," Rico said last.
Skipper shook his head and said, "This isn't good. We need to find Dave before he gets himself into more trouble."
The door to the vet's office flew open and the otters and badgers stepped in.
"Hey guys. We found Dave," Marlene said as they walked in with Dave in tow.
Skipper turned his gaze to Dave who held his head low. He just didn't want to make eye contact with anyone.
Skipper waddled over to Dave and placed a flipper on Dave's shoulder.
Dave looked up at Skipper and Skipper asked, "How are you feeling Dave?"
Dave sighed and said, "Hollow. Like I've been betrayed."
Skipper inhaled sharply and said, "I know the feeling Dave. I've been betrayed before as well."
Dave nodded and tried to hide the fact that he could feel tears regardless. It was at this point that Dmitry pulled something out of the manilla envelope that contained the files.
"Hey everyone, I found something in here," Dmitry said as he walked back towards the group.
Dave turned around and asked, "What did you find?"
Dmitry held his claw up in the air and displayed a disk to Dave. Written on the front were the words, 'For Dave'. Dave took the disc and examined it.
"Huh? Is there a computer around here we can use?" Dave asked.
Clemens nodded and said, "There was a computer in the security office that we can use. We just need to install the correct files."
"I can do that," both Kowalski and Skippet said at the same time.
The two then looked at each other awkwardly.
Skipper nodded and said, "So let's get to it then. We need to see what's on that disc. Move out men and women."
The penguins and the Bronx team all ran off, leaveing the otters, badgers, and Skippet in the room.
Jack crossed his arms and said, "Yeah nice to see you guys too."
Skippet looked at Jack and said, "Hey I know you. Your that badger kid who lives here."
Jack looked at her and nodded.
Skippet smirked and said, "Well you got better all of a sudden. Last time I saw you, you were hacking and coughing a lot."
Jack nodded and Skippet rolled her eyes.
"Come on guys let's get going," Dave said and ran out of the room.
Marlene roller her eyes now and said, "Impatient as always. Comeon guys let's go."
Becky and Stacy nodded and everyone then followed Marlene out od the vet's office.
(Security office)
The penguins and Bronx team were already setting up in the security office when Dave arrived shortly after with the badgers, Skippet, and Marlene. Kowalski was uploading the files he needed when Skippet climbed up and pushed him out of the way.
"Move over you amatuer, let me handle this," Skippet said and began tapping on some keys on the keyboard.
Kowalski got up and pushed Skippet out of the way and said, "Stop that. You don't know what you're doing. Besides I'm a professional."
Skippet jumped onto Kowalski and the two started wrestling with each other. The even rolled around ontop of the keyboard.
Skipper grabbed the both of them all pulled them apart.
"Break it up you two, we have some important work to do so just stop," Skipper said after pulling them apart.
At this point the computer let out a beep and the files were done.
"Well at least this part is done. Now let's get to that disc," Kowalski said.
Dmitry nodded and handed the disc to Kowalski who inserted it into the computer. Then they waited for the disc to warm up. It took a minute or two, but eventually the computer read the disc and the files opened up. The first thing they noticed was a video file that was entitled 'Urgent'. Dave pointed at it and told Kowalski to open that first, which Kowalski did.
It took a moment, but eventually the file loaded and the video began. The video was of a woman with brown hair and very green eyes. It was Dave's mother and she was in her office as evident by the doctors table in the center of the room. She stared into the camera and began.
"Hello Dave. I don't know how this will get to you, but I know it will," she began.
Dave grunted slightly as his mother continued.
"Just so you know, yes I know what has happened to you and I'm sorry that it has happened. You were never supposed to be involved in it. But it just did."
By now Dave was intrigued. He perked up and began listening in on what she had to say.
"What happened was by pure chance and what I've done I thought would help the world. I just didn't know how evil this all was. As I'm sure you know by now there were many experiments done by now. I knew that you'd find out I was still alive and that would find out my involvment with that bottlenosed fiend. I thought that our work would change the world for the better. Ha, it turns out that it was all meant to help him achieve his role as dominant animal on this planet. Suffice it to say, I don't intend to let that happen."
"It doesn't change the fact that you worked for him," Skipper said to the woman on screen.
"Skipper it's a recording. She can't hear you," Kowalski said to Skipper.
Skipper groaned and sat back down as the recording continued.
"But first I'm sorry for what I've done to you, your sister, and your father. But it was what I thought was necessary. I couldn't take part in this project if I were still around you all. I thought that this was for the best. Save endangered animal species at the cost of the homeless population. We used them because we thought that they wouldn't be missed. A few homeless disappear and certain animal races would be saved. I thought that in the end it would all be worth it. But now I'm certain that that is no longer the case. They started kidnapping people and used them. Including you and your sister."
At this point Dave's mother began letting tears flow down her cheeks and her voice began breaking.
"I'm so ashamed. All of this done just so an evil dictator could take over. Well I'll be damned if I let that dolphin win. Included on this disc is my research. Keep it or destroy it is completely up to you. Just know that I can't be with you Dave as I'm sure that more danger has come after me as I'm sure it has come after you. I shall end this by saying that I'm leaving New York and cannot reveal where I am for fear of death. But just know Dave that there are still people after you and that I love you very much. Look out for yourself and don't stop resisting."
It was here that the camera shut off and the screen went black. Everyone looked at Dave who had a stunned look upon his face.
"Wow, I mean this like a dream. One that I can't tell whether it's good or bad," Dave said.
Skipper placed a flipper on Dave's shoulder and said, "Ready to go home Dave?"
Dave nodded and said, "Yes, home. Back to Central Park."
Skipper nodded and said, "Let's move out men. Kowalski you take the disc. We'll erase everything on there when we get home."
Kowalski nodded and removed the disc from the computer hard drive.
Marlene placed an arm around Dave and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Dave let out a chuckle and said, "Well I no longer want to kill myself."
Marlene smiled lightly and said, "I would call that a win then."
So now Dave knows everything. Next chapter is the last and I have a surprise ending planed. Don't miss it.
Remember to read and review please.
