Chapter 10: Bridge Battle
Skipper was driving the car as fast as he could. He didn't want whoever Hans get hurt. Kowalski was in the passenger's seat, looking very worried. Rico was practicing his fighting poses in the back seat, shoving Catherine and Private every now and again. Catherine sighed.
"Are we there yet?" Catherine said.
"We get there when we get there!" Skipper shouted. Kowalski kept low as the came to the Brooklyn Bridge.
"Now to find him," Skipper said. Kowalski, Rico, Private and Catherine kept low as they rode across the bridge, looking for Hans.
Hans dropped the bag on the ground somewhere in the middle of the bridge. He grabbed the woman out of the bag. Most of her curlers were out of her hair. She snarled at him.
"What gives you the right to do this?" she shouted at him, "I told you, I don't know Steven Hawkins."
"That's what they all say. Actually, that's what you say, because I haven't heard anyone say it yet…" Hans told her. She rolled her eyes.
"Look, I'm not even his girlfriend!" she shouted at him. Hans laughed at her.
"I'm afraid I'm gonna have to threaten until you give me answers," Hans said. He put the knife to her neck.
"Tell me now," he said, putting the knife closer, "Where is Skipper?" Suddenly, he heard a car screech. Skipper jumped out of the car, with the others.
"Oh, so you feel into my trap," Hans muttered. Skipper's eyes widened.
"You guys stay in the car," he whispered. Kowalski's eyes widened as Skipper jumped out of the car. He watched as he faced Hans.
"So you think you can hurt innocents just to get us to you," Skipper snarled at him. Hans smiled evilly.
"You know, I just wanted to do my job and do it right!" Hans said, grabbing his knife and throwing it at Skipper. Skipper gasped. The knife came at him fast. Really fast. Skipper dodged the knife as it came to him. He saw it pass by him, but suddenly, he felt its sharp blade pass his cheek gently. It left a small cut that automatically started to bleed. The knife went across the bridge and stuck itself inside on of the beams. Kowalski cringed as Skipper felt the cut on his cheek.
"So you think you're so clever," Hans said, "I guess I have to use my bare hands and my little friend to make sure you're head is brought to master Blowhole." He got a gun out and got ready to shoot. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a rock shot the gun out of Hans' hand. The gun skidded across the ground. Hans looked up to see Kowalski with his eyes narrowed at him.
"Don't you dare hurt him you jerk!" Kowalski shouted at him. Hans laughed and walked up to Kowalski.
"Oh, so I'm just gonna let some pathetic used to be high school teacher scare me," Hans chuckled, walking towards Kowalski. He brought up his fist and punched Kowalski in the mouth hard. Kowalski squeaked and fell to the ground. His nose started to bleed and his glasses were now crooked.
"Pathetic," Hans muttered, "Now back to Skipper. I'll deal with you later." Skipper gasped as Kowalski got up. He looked at Hans.
"You're the pathetic one! Trying to kill people for your own pleasure!" Kowalski shouted at him. Rico jumped out of the car along with Private. Catherine however, stayed in the car. She looked around in the car for something useful.
"You're just a nerd hiding in the body of a tough jerk!" Kowalski shouted at him. He spit out a tooth as talked. Hans growled, ran at Kowalski and punched him in the gut. Kowalski fell to the ground, spitting up some blood as he did. Private jumped on top of Hans and started to beat on his head. Hans grabbed him and flung him across the bridge, causing Private to hit one of the beams. Private started to spit up blood too.
Rico ran at Hans and butted his head against his gut. Hans fell to the ground and flipped back up. He tackled Rico and punched him in the face, causing Rico's nose to bleed. Catherine suddenly jumped out of the car, doing a war cry. Hans looked up and laughed as Catherine put up her training katanas.
"Oy, idiot," Catherine said, "Lets dance." Hans ran at Catherine and tried to punch her. But she blocked his blow. He growled at her and started to throw punches at her. But no matter what, he wouldn't get a straight punch on her. Catherine swiped at his head two times. The first one gave him a black eye and the second one made his nose bleed. She smiled at her accomplishment, but she became too distracted to notice that Hans got up.
"Alright!" Hans said, grabbing Catherine, "You had better come with me or the girl will get it." Kowalski came to just to see him pointing his gun at Catherine.
"What?" Skipper said, "You're gonna kill her?" Hans nodded his head. But Skipper noticed he did it unsurely.
"Alright," Skipper said, shrugging, "Go ahead, and kill her." Hans' eyes widened.
"You mean it?" Hans said. As Kowalski struggled to get into a sitting position, he realized what Skipper was doing. Hans probably didn't need to kill her.
"Yeah, why don't you kill her!" Kowalski shouted, "I don't really like her anyway."
"Well, nice to know that everyone likes me so much!" Catherine shouted, than saw Kowalski wink at her. Oh… Catherine thought.
"Well, alright," Hans said, getting ready to pull the trigger. Suddenly, he put the gun down.
"Master Blowhole requested her presence when I was finished with you," Hans whimpered, dropping his gun. Suddenly, Skipper tackled Hans and punched him every which way. Hans suddenly came to the edge of the bridge and fell off into the dirty water.
"Well than," Kowalski said, looking down at the water below. Catherine looked over at the edge and got an evil grin on her face.
"He's gonna get eaten by a shark," Catherine smirked.
"Nah, there's no sharks in these waters," Kowalski told her, "He'll just surface up somewhere and Blowhole will probably fire him."
"Ooooh," Catherine whispered.
"Up, now," Skipper shouted at the woman. She had fainted and she was just getting up. She looked up at Skipper and whimpered.
"I guess I got myself in trouble," she said, looking up at Skipper.
"Who are you?" he asked her.
"My name is Marlene," she told him. He smirked and looked at his team. Catherine was already in the car, bouncing up and down in the back seat. Kowalski was slowly making his way to the car. Rico picked Private up and carried him to car. Skipper smiled.
"I have to go," Skipper said, "My team is waiting." Marlene nodded her head as he went to the car and jumped into the driver's seat. Kowalski had tears running down his cheeks.
"What's wrong?" Skipper asked as he started his car. He looked at Private sitting in the back seat with the others. He was still knocked out. The car drove off into the night to their cottage.
"I can't believe our car broke down in the middle of the road," Skipper whined, entering the cottage. He flopped onto the recliner. Catherine and Kowalski came in second. Rico came in last and ran to the bedroom, whining every time he took a step.
"I can't believe we had to walk 15 miles to our house," Catherine whined, sitting on the couch.
"My muscles are yelling at me," Kowalski said, "Which is anatomically impossible." He looked down at Private, who he was holding. Private was still knocked out. Maybe he died. Kowalski shook his head. Private couldn't have died. He lay him on the couch and put a blanket over him in case he woke up. Than he went to wash up and get the blood off of him. He went to sleep worrying about Private for the second time in a row.
Kowalski woke up and saw Private, sitting up.
"Good, you're awake," Kowalski sighed, looking at him. Private looked at Kowalski and smiled.
"This isn't going very well," Private said, "It seems that I'm the one getting more hurt in these situations than anyone else." Than he held onto his stomach.
"I'm hungry," Private said.
"Than, let's get something to eat," Kowalski told him, getting up. They walked into the kitchen to get something to eat.
I'm beginning to think that I'm scaring my readers away with all this people getting hurt stuff... or is that what people want? But I don't want to scare you guys... Anyway! Hope you enjoyed it, look out for chapter 11! YAY!
