6 – Finish it!
Final chapter and you know the drill.
Silence, that awkward silence that everyone, just hates, Skipper cleared his throat, ˝Well, that was – So noble of you!˝ interrupted the private. ˝I can't believe you did such a thing for your friends.˝ The little penguin's eyes were shinning. ˝Yeah, let's never mention that again, it's just so you know.˝
˝But, but, command center has to know, we've got to tell them – Private!˝ the leader stopped him. ˝What's done is done. Nothing we do now will change anything.˝ The chubby penguin frowned. The monitor put a hand on his shoulder, ˝Hey, just think about it. If I hadn't done what I did, then I wouldn't have been here to help Rico,˝ Private looked up, ˝I don't believe in destiny, or luck, but looks like everything did turn to the better,˝ the little bird formed a smile.
˝If my calculations are correct, the sun should rise in approximately one hour,˝ said Kowalski. ˝Then we should start heading back,˝ replied Skipper, while getting up. The others followed his example and headed towards the exit. The pink car was still there, hidden in a bush, together with two other vehicles, two motorized skateboards, originally meant for humans. ˝Oh, right, You guys don't mind if I take my SES (Skate Electric Shredder) with me?˝ asked the reptile.
˝No, no, it's yours anyway, besides, we can't have you ridding in that thing,˝ replied the roadrunner, pointing at the penguin's, tactically adorable, car. ˝Thanks, and if you ever want to go back into action you can always come o…˝ He was stopped by a hand gesture from the genet, ˝If we'd wanted that, than Dmitry would've already hacked the grid.˝ Alexander smiled, ˝Then until our paths meet again.˝
˝Oh, before I forget,˝ the flying fox pulled out the memory card out of his WEH and gave it to Kowalski, ˝I've downloaded everything they had. I'm sure you guys will find it useful.˝ Kowalski happily accepted the item and thanked the winged mammal. They exchanged handshakes and the Central park zoo team watched the trio leave. The bird was running, easily keeping up with the other SES, which Clemens was ridding, and the bat followed them through the air.
Alexander watched them disappear from sight and then turned to the penguins. ˝Where to captain?˝ Skipper smiled, ˝Home soldier, home.˝ Rico started up the engine of the car and the lizard fired up the skateboard. The two vehicles disappeared into the dark streets of the big city.
He who lives in the past is already dead, he who lives in the future has not yet lived, but he who lives in the present is truly alive.
