1000 hours;

It's funny how my day often starts at 1000 hours but I'm always up hours before that.

I wanted to accompany Kowalski with a visit to Marlene's, but for some reason he insisted he go alone, I didn't have time to question with him, because as soon as he got back I could go visit. Before be left I saw him carry out some pencils, and his note pad.

I knew he was working on a code at Marlene's home, but I thought Marlene had the code over there. I decided that to pass the time, nothing would be better than a maintenance on the H.q. I sent Rico and Private out to do some practice drills while I got started, and boy is there a lot of work to do.

1100 hours; it's odd that Kowalski is taking so long, it's a possibility he got distracted, but with out Kowalski here to tell me what the possibility of that is I have to admit that I'm not sure. I've never actually seen Kowalski distracted when it comes to science, but he might be caught up in chit chat.

Come to think of it I've never seen Kowalski caught up in chit chat before either. I have to admit I'm a little surprised, and I've had a few idea of what happened, but I shook them from my mind upon seeing that Marlene isn't a robot, she isn't an alien, and she doesn't work for Doctor Blowhole.

I can still remember doctor blowhole's face when we busted in and stopped him from blowing up the sun. Of course that was with my old team, Rex Terry and blister. Of course they weren't even penguins, Rex was a dog, Terry was a Meerkat, and Blister was a wolverine.

I was the leader of course, and this team wasn't the best I'd seen, they were loud, clumsy, vicious, Rex had only 3 legs for dogs sake. Of course he was still more capable than Blister. I think that next to me, Terry was a decent teammate, compared to the others.

He however, couldn't compare to my team now, they have there weaknesses and all but I wouldn't trade them for my life. Besides I can handle any situation where I was being offered a bargain for my life.

1200 hours;

It's strange how slow time is going as I wait for Kowalski, I've never found myself so anxious. It's easier if I just take a nap to relax. Of course than I'll have bags under my eyes when I go to visit Marlene, I've never though this hard, and now I know how Kowalski feels.

1500 hours;

The hours have gone by and Kowalski is still not back, I think that maybe he and Marlene have been kidnapped by Doctor blowhole. There is also the slight chance that Kowalski is plotting to help Marlene take me down by giving her every secret we have.

Actually I would never expect Marlene or Kowalski to do such a thing. I wouldn't expect it from anyone in this zoo. Well Julien I have strong feeling would do it. Maybe that's what they want, to get my guard down and than attack, well not on this penguins…

1600 hours;

Once Kowalski finally did return, I was down his throat with questions. Of course my first guess was right, and her and Marlene were caught up in talking. Normally I'm not a nosy person, but in a case like this I had to know what could keep them talking for 6 hours.

To have my own line turned against me once gives me a stinging sensation, but when it happens again than I just think they are trying to make me mad, Regardless, I started over to see Marlene, but Kowalski stopped me, saying that she wanted to be alone.

Now it was eating away at me, what could they have said that makes Marlene want to be alone? And how did he know she wanted to be alone, did she say so, or did he just expect it. The last question that ran through my mind, is how did Kowalski know I was gong to see Marlene.

I came up with a list of things they could have said that made Marlene want to be alone,

Her home,

Her family,

A death in the family,

Problems at home,

A sad moment it her life,

A sad moment is our life.

Actually my highest doubt was on the last one, why would a sad moment for us make Marlene want to be alone. I didn't think it would, but Kowalski still refuses to tell me what they had said, or even anything about the code he had been working on.
