Only about an hour after he had told the other his story the TV turned on by itself suddenly. The penguins were very frightened when they recognized a strangely distorted picture on the screen. Fragments of words echoed through their habitat. It took a few long lasting seconds, until the picture became clearer on TV. Suddenly Dr. Blowhole appeared in the picture. Skipper threw himself immediately behind the concrete table so no one could see him. Kowalski looked surprised at him. The leaders reacted quickly and grabbed the clipboard of the scientist and started writing down something. When he had finished he showed his message to Kowalski. "Tell him that I would be death. Makes him clear that he had won. Then we have a small advantage on our side and may be able to get more information. Kowalski immediately understood and gave the other two a sign that they should say nothing.
"Well, penguins, I see you've made it back in your HQ." Cackled the dolphin. "Yes, you monster, because of you we have lost Skipper. What have you done to him? "Kowalski said angrily. His acting talent deserved an Oscar, Skipper thought and prayed that Rico and Private got the plan to. "Y-Yes, how could you. You let him die in agony. "Wept Private with tears streaming down his feathery face. Skipper could kiss both of them for this perfect acting but something started to worry him. For a few minutes he felt a strange stinging pain in his chest. The poison was raging inside him again, but he hoped that Kowalski would finally get to know more about it now. "Yes, it´s a tragedy. But now we are finally rid of him, the annoying penguin "laughed Dr. Blowhole cruelly. Private gave his crying even more power and acted as if he would collapse with grief.
Rico caught him and pretended to comfort him. "I just wanna know one thing, you demon. How?, "said Kowalski angry. The dolphin was laughing. "Oh, you couldn´t have saved him anyway. This poison, we have developed is something very special. Just so you know, I´ve been having the antidote with me all the time. But it is already too late anyway. Just tell me one thing Kowalski, how long did he suffer until his heart failed, "asked Dr. Blowhole malicious. "About a day after we had returned. But we will have revenge for him, believe me. "Said the tall penguin dramatically. "I don´t think so. You´re completely helpless without your leader. Small fish, we left to polish off. "Laughed the dolphin." Then you had help so? "Said Kowalski, who noticed the 'we' previously.
Now Dr. Blowhole realized that he´d told to much and shut up. He quickly changed the theme. "So, your leader had a pretty painful death?," he said with underhanded dolphin grin. Suddenly Kowalski went to the hiding Skipper. He winked at him briefly, but to understand and dragged him in front of the TV, so that Dr. Blowhole could see him. Skipper set up a pain-stricken face and tried not to breathe, so he looked pretty dead. Like a wet sack he fell to the ground again, without any motion.
That seemes to convince the dolphin, because he didn´t ask further. "Well if you try to get your revenge you´ll die!" Dr. Blowhole said this in a diabolical sound. Kowalski sighed. "Yes. I think we´re beaten. What does it actually matter? Even if we try, Skipper won´t be alive again. "With a last cruel laugh, dolphin disappeared from the screen and it became quite silent in the penguin´s habitat. They waited for a few minutes before Kowalski told Private to pull the plug from the TV, so that Dr. Blowhole could not hack again. "We did it," said private reliefed and wiped his eyes. He and Rico gave each other high fives. "Yes, the idiot actually believes that you are dead, Skipper ... .. Skipper? "Kowalski noticed that something was wrong. The leader was still lying on the floor, breathing heavily.
The pain was getting worse again. He wanted to ignore it at first, but it were too strong. "Skipper, you´re okay?" asked Kowalski. "Nothing, I´m fine. Ah ... "stammered skipper and pressed his flippers on his chest. "Private, help me carry him to his bed." Kowalski said. The little boy was immediately up to help and together they dragged Skipper to bunk. Kowalski immediately took his medical equipment that he hasn´t needed for days as Skipper was getting better. "Skipper hold on. This may be a small relapse. It won´t last long. Take a deep breath. "Kowalski said, and pressed his stethoscope on his leader's chest. Kowalski mime darkened. "I'll give another shot of the buffer so the pain will stop. Now we know who has the antidote. "Said the tall penguin and waddled quickly to the lab.
After a few minutes he came back with a syringe, which he quickly injected into the vene of Skipper´s flipper. It took a few minutes until it worked but the pain was getting easier and the leader remained in his falling asleeep. The others were glad it worked so well, because they wouldn´t definitely not live through those days again when Skipper had to fight death in agony. The night went by quickly. Skippers team was knew that he did not have much time left. Kowalski brooded constantly about how to find Dr. Blowhole. But he had an idea. The Penguins conected his computer to the TV and tried to track the singal from the dolphin. Kowalski was extremely concentrated, and none of the others dared to say anything.
After about ten minutes the excitement was over, and then the computer showed where the signal came from, which was also a great shock to the penguins. Denmark. Kowalski held his breath. How should he tell Skipper? After he´d told his story, he was very depressed. And now he´s to go back to the hell he escaped from?
The next morning Skipper awoke with a strange feeling. Something told him that something was wrong. His team was still in the bunks. With a stinging headache he jumped on his feet to wake his friends. The penguin heard a loud thunder storm outside. Just the perfect weather to make his uneasy feeling grew stronger. The three all looked very sad, but not because of the bad weather. The atmosphere in the penguin habitat was spooky. Skipper did not even know why the others were so weird. "Guys, what´s wrong with you?" Said the leader. "Skipper, we have to tell you something. That you won´t like to hear. "Kowalski said carefully, and told him what they figured out last night. Skipper could not belive this, it was like a punch right into stomach. The others waited anxiously for a reaction from him, but he was petrified.
Just after a few minutes after he the shock was gone, he was able to talk again. "Kowalski, you're saying that I should return to the terrible place of my dark past, otherwise I will die," said the leader stunned. The great penguin nodded and Skipper imagined the disaster that would expect them. But he had no other choice. "All right boys , prepare to go on a long journey." Skipper said, trying to sound confident as possible, which he hardly succeeded. Kowalski immediately grabbed his computer and checked the Internet, when the next flight to Denmark left. "Skipper, tomorrow morning at nine." Said the scientist. Skipper nodded and sighed. "All right, men. Morning at nine is the deadline. It's the best you pack your bags, now."
The next morning all four ran quickly around to make last preperations. They didn´t know when and whether they would ever ever return. Rico swallowed all the weapons, the HQ had to offer. When everything was ready, the Penguins looked around their home. They had the strange feeling that they would never see it again. It was quite early when they left. A cold night had laid a thick fog over the city, so it was easier for them not to be seen. On the main road outside the zoo, they attacked a taxi driver abruptly and took his car to get to JFK. The sky was still cloudy and it was about to rain. Quick and nimble, they crept through the terminals of the airport without been seen.
Kowalski kept looking at the signs around him to lead them to the right plane. When they finally arrived the human luggage was about to be packed into the plane. Quick as lightning they blend with the suitcases and bags. Nobody would notice them inside the trunk. When everything was stowed in the penguins tried to make it more comfortable within the luggage. They noticed how the plane drove on the runway. It accelerated fast until it was finally in the air. The four were quite relieved. At least the first part of the trip had gone without any problems.
