Private crept along to the surveillance room. Somehow he just knew he needed to. He tensed up when he was near his father's room. Sam had pretty good hearing. Carefully he opened the door and tiptoed inside. Luckily for the little penguin, no one was there except the cameras.
He gazed at the screens and then narrowed his eyes when he saw a movement. It was Doris, but wait, Rico! What was Rico doing there? And the others too. Then, he saw a low glimmering. With a jolt of fear, he realized it was a proximity laser. And the guys were heading straight for it.
Doris stopped suddenly. She just couldn't do it. This was wrong.
"What's the matter?" Kowalski asked her.
"I'm..sorry." She whispered.
"What for?" Skipper quizzed.
"GO BACK! GUYS, GO BACK!"
"Private?"
Somehow, he'd discovered a microphone and used it to his advantage.
"IT'S A TRAP! GO BA-!"
"What in the name of..." Sam muttered. He hobbled over to the door, and before he could open it, it flung open. Blowhole stared down at him, a cold smile at his lips.
"Your son has done us a huge favour."
Understanding appeared in Sam's grey eyes. "The commandos."
"Doris?" Skipper said.
"Yes?" She squeaked.
"Is this what you were apologising for?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Oh, in that case, apology not accepted!"
"A trap?" Kowalski asked her.
"I'm...I'm sorry!"
"Why?"
Her large blue-green eyes looked at him sadly.
"You know why."
"Come on, guys! We'll get the Private and then get out of here." Skipper told them. But Kowalski wasn't finished with Doris.
"I would never do this! Don't tell me I know why!"
"You're telling me.."
And so began a loud and angry argument.
"'Uys!" Rico yelled.
"WHAT?" They screamed back.
"Fin'ish you' a'gumen' so'e o'er 'ime. 'E've go' a ki' to fin'."
"Fine!" Kowalski muttered.
Doris's eyes glittered with fury as she watched them run in the direction of Private's voice. Then she sighed. Kowalski had been telling the truth. He would never do this. She was scum.
"Thank you very much." Blowhole said silkily.
"I didn't do it for you." Private answered.
"Why would you help them?" Sam asked, perplexed.
"Why wouldn't I? They're good. Unlike you."
"What?"
"You did kill her didn't you?"
"It was an accident."
"It was a murder!"
"It was lucky for me." Kali said. She slowly rubbed her flippers on Sam's shoulders. It made Private's skin crawl.
"What do you want with my friends?"
"Oh,we'll just kill them." Blowhole answered.
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"What's wrong with you?!" Private yelled. "Kowalski's your son," he told Kurai. "Skipper was your husband once.." He told Kali.
"WHAT?" Sam roared.
"And Rico's... Well I like Rico."
"You were married to that flat-headed, obsessive,paranoia ridden, son of a..."
"If you want more children, you'll not finish that sentence!"
"Skipper!"
*GASP!* They found Private! Hooray! But what's going to happen next? I don't know, but there's gonna be a fight. DO NOT MISS IT AND REVIEWS AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ARE VERY WELCOME!
