Chap. 6

"He what?" Skipper exclaimed.

"How did he bypass the laser-beams?" Kowalski asked, tapping his chin with a pencil.

"Privat' gon'?" Rico questioned, wondering where the little fellow might have went.

Skipper was the one trying to stay calm. He was failing miserably. He was pacing like a mad cow. His back was hunch over, and every once in a while stopping to talk to Nigel. This wasn't supposed to happened...Fourteen year old Private was not supposed to get up, and leave on his own team. Did he forget the credo, 'never swim alone'? That was the first lesson he taught Private.

"So this is your first lesson, and your first time here." He was standing in the elevator with his back straight, and his hands behind him crossed. He stood like a true agent would. He had his white button shirt's sleeves had been rolled up from all that had been going on today. He tie had been loose, but that was due to stress. He didn't look like an agent from his messed-up attire.

He glanced at the tiny boy holding a plushy of what looked like a unicorn, and holding his one suitcase. He had short black slacks that were crinkled. Wool socks that went to his small knees, a blue sweater vest with a plaid pattern, and a light green button up shirt. And his curly headed was no longer bent over. His glassy eyes caught Skipper's. Skipper hit the lock on the elevator that was heading downward.

"Private, what's the matter?" Skipper rushed to the boy's side.

He kneeled down to the child's shoulder. Private's eyes were brimmed with tears. The boy sniffed, "Y-You don't w-want me here."

It broke Skipper's heart to see the child crying. Skipper took Private's suitcase, and soft animal aside. He reached under Private's arm, and pulled him up. He let Private drain his tears out, and held the boy close to his smooth beating heart. He could tell the boy was a nervous, and scared, but he's been around the team before what was so different now?

Private rub his sky blue eyes, and look at Skipper who was holding him. Private scramble to get down, but Skipper had a tight grip. Private felt like a baby crying in front of him, "You p-probably think I'm just a big b-baby that you hate to take care of..." He pouted.

"Now why would you think that?" He asked, the sniffled child, "Kowalski, Rico, and I are very happy to have you on our team."

Private's glinting blue eyes opened widely to hear that, "Really?"

Skipper nodded, "You know we have a credo?"

Private nodded this time, "Uncle Nigel taught it to me before we left he said it was important to know it."

"That's right can you tell me it?" Skipper queried him.

"Never swim alone." Private quoted it like he had known the credo all his life.

"That's right!" Skipper smiled, he was a smart lad, like Nigel would say. Skipper said, "That's our number one rule with us, the Penguins. And do you know what it really means?"

Private grins a bit, "Uncle Nigel said you would ask that." Then Private mutters, "Uncle…"

Skipper decides to eliminate the tears by speaking, "It means that in the team you'll never be alone. It means your team will never leave you." Skipper states and Private's sky-colored eyes shine brightly, "Never ever?"

"Never ever."

The elevator starts once more.

It might have been Skipper's promise to Private, but he was not going to break this promise. Skipper stopped his pacing, as Nigel started to speak, "He asked me if he was an experiment. He looked me directly in the eye, and asked that. I said, I didn't know, which that is honest truth." He exhaled, "Then he said, he needed to find out he said his good-bye, and now were here."

Skipper faced-palmed his face, "It's my fault I should have told him the truth, and then maybe this incident wouldn't have happen."

Skipper sagged down into one of the computer's chairs exhausted on what had happen. He worried for Private. He would think of the most terrible things to happen to him out in the concrete jungle. He knew Private had been out on the concrete jungle on his own for a mission to boost up his ranking as an agent. Even then, Kowalski, Rico, and Skipper were their watching his every move in the Big Apple. This time there was no one watching Private. Skipper thought maybe Manfredi, or Johnson could be watching him, but that still didn't make Skipper stop stressing out.

Kowalski stop tapping his chin with his pencil, "Skipper we all agreed to tell Private about his past when he was at least eighteen. This isn't your fault." Kowalski placed a hand on his leader's shoulder to reassure him.

Skipper gave an evil glare to Kowalski, and Kowalski immediately threw off his hand off Skipper's stout shoulder. Skipper then sadistically said, "Well it's all of our faults, Kowalski. Does that sound better?"

Kowalski muttered something ugly about Skipper's sarcastic, sadistic demeanor. Nigel and Rico rolled their eyes. Skipper stood up, "I know for a fact though that us Penguins never swim alone, so if Private out there we're going after him." He turns to Nigel, "Will update you on what's going, Nigel."

Nigel nodded, "I wish you the best, and my nephew the best." The screen went black after that.

Skipper looked at his team, "Let's get a move on before 'King Stupid'," Referring to one of the lemurs pacifically, Julian, "Decides he wants to tag along. Just in case that happens, Rico, pack some ear buds for all of us."

They would leave.

Find Private.

And everything would be back in place the way Skipper like it.

Or would it?
