Ch: 21 into the belly of the beast

Adora and Serena sat in their cages a few seconds before Dubois walked in with a syringe in her hands. She grinned evilly and said. "So witch one of you two is wants to be put to sleep and skinned first."

(Meanwhile)

On the roof of the building, Alex ripped the grate off an air vent and turned to his son. "Do you think you can track where your mother, her parents, the penguins, or your siblings are?" he asked. Alex jr. sniffed the air, after a few seconds his eyes widened and he dove head first into the vent. "Follow me, I know where Serena is." Alex dove after his son, with Ben shortly behind him. They quietly and quickly crawled through the vents, until Alex jr. stopped them and ripped the grate open and hoped out. When they were all out of the vent they saw Serena in a cage half awake. They opened the cage and Alex pulled her out and held her in his arms. "Serena, are you ok?" He asked her. "Dubois…. put us to sleep…. Skinning Adora, that room." Serena tiredly pointed to the door across the room. "Help her." She then passed out from the shot she had been given. As much as Alex jr. was angry with Adora for what she had said about him, be walked into the room Serena had pointed to. A few seconds later, Alex jr. came out of the room with Adora in his arms unharmed and passed out. "I beat up five officers to get her out of there but let's move before…" Alex jr. was interrupted by alarms suddenly flashing and sirens going off. "…. They know we are here. Run!" they then took off, with the two asleep cubs in their arms, down the hallway. Even with the animal control officers after them, they still managed to escape the building without getting hit by a tranquilizer dart. When they reached the train, Ben and Alex told the circus animals what had happened to them while they were gone, while Alex jr. woke up Serena and Bella up. Even with the fact that Dubois could have harmed his partial captured family, all he think about was Adora. He had givrn her his heart and she had crushed it. It was at that moment that Adora woke up.
