Kidnapping Skipper ch. 7

They all arrived to the airport at last. Destiny and Rico hid behind a small fake tree. It was right next to the main doors. On the left side of the doors, Kowalski and Private hid behind an identical tree. They laid the motorcycle up against the wall. Destiny waited till there was nobody entering, and nobody close to the doors inside. She was about to walk in, but she saw a security camera. She pointed to Rico, then at the camera, he smiled, and nodded, with a rugged uh-huh. Out of nowhere he threw up some gum, and chewed it, then spat it straight at the lens. She smiled, and creeped in with her motorcycle. She saw a very large empty cargo box. She had the best of luck. When it was clear, they all grabbed the box, and heaved the motorcycle in gently. The little packing pieces of foam made crunchy sounds as it buried itself within the crate. They nailed it shut, and Destiny reached in her bag. In her wing was a large stamp that read Ship to Las Vegas Nevada. She tossed it up to the conveyer belt. Now all they had to do was get a ride to Nevada, themselves.

A human in a suit walked closer to the luggage. They hid underneath the conveyer belt, and waited for the human to pass. "It's useless!" Private whispered. "We'll never be able to pass through the x ray scanner. They keep vigilent eyes on the cargo."

Kowalski made raspberry noises. "Oh please, my little sister Destiny can get past any security." He waved his wing at the wrist, and put the other on his hip.

"Okay. Number one. PLEASE stop calling me your little sister Kowalski. You've been doing it since I was little. It gets old. And number two, don't worry about that Private. I know how to get past that. You all just need to find an empty bag headed to Las Vegas. Leave the security to me." Destiny's smile was reassuring. They grabbed a discarded lost and found bag to which they cold all fit in. Destiny zipped it up leaving herself out of it. She climbed on top of the bag, hearing the grunts and ouches of the three boys inside. In no time, they were up against a security guard. She sat back talking on her cell phone, not staring at the screen. The sound of heavy gum chewing was making Destiny disgusted. In her hand was a copy of cosmo girl. Her eyes went everywhere but the screen. Perfect. "Rico." She unzipped the bag and stared at Rico. "I need one of those walike talkies." Rico nodded, and handed her one. She pointed it at her cell phone, and turned the knob slowly. In no time the guard lost all the bars on her phone. It was hard to believe that she actually left the x ray scanner unattended. Destiny jumped onto the stainless steel, and watched the boys as they passed infront of the scanner. Their skeletal structures showed up infront of the screen. The one that belonged to Rico had weapons in its stomach region. UCK!

They successfully snuck past the scanners, and the tiniest penguin jumped back in the bag, and awaited for them to be tossed into the cargo hold. They stayed quiet, and after a while, they felt a pair of hands clutch the sides, and with a grunt, they landed in the plane with the rest of people's luggage. They uzipped the bag, and gasped for breath. The cargo area wasn't as packed as they thought it would be. There was plenty of space to walk around. Over a speaker they heard a voice. "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain speaking. Your flight will last five and a half hours today. We have very few clouds with great visibility. The tempurature in Las Vegas is one hundred and five degrees farenheight, and we are ready for take off." Wow that was very hot for penguins. Still, if Skipper was in the Nevada desert than Nevada was where they would go.

They felt the floor seem to slant. They felt like they were falling backwards a bit, but they were just rising, so they knew what was going on. After a little while they felt like it was okay to stand up. Destiny inspected around the cargo bin, to see if there were any spies. Everything seemed alright, until there seemed to be a shuffling sound. Destiny hid behind a heavy duffel bag. Her eyes were wide, and she was terrified. Rico regurgitated a club, and inched his way foreward. Out of nowhere the seams bursted, and four furry faces were revealed flailing half hazardly to the floor. Marlene got in a faceplant. Julian landed on top of her. Mort fell on Julian's stomach, and Maurice slid down the pile of luggage. The three boys instantley calmed down, but were still confused. Destiny saw the boys lower their guards, and make their way to Julian, Marlene, Maurice, and Mort. She had yet to trust four furry animals that had just so happened to fall out of bag, headed to the same city as they were.

"What? You four? What are you all doing here?" Private asked. He was completely confused of how they could be here.

"Indeed. I thought we told you all that this was an emergency operation. No civilians allowed." Kowalski crossed his wings, and stared at the only mammals that sat in the cargo hold.

"It wasn't my fault, Private. Julian followed you, and I knew I would get blamed. I tried to stop him, but then I remembered that you said that Skipper was in trouble, and I can't let something happen to him!" Marlene sputtered. Julian nodded twice, and stared at Private smiling. "It's true. I was worried for Skipper as well as you guys so I was nervous that you all couldn't do alone, so I thought Julian and the others could help. After all," She started snickering. "He supposedly helped you with Blowhole. You know, I have yet to meet him."

"Oh he's real alright, young miss." All of their heads snapped over to Destiny. She was still hiding behind the duffel bag. Only her eyes were visible. She must've been scared of the four still. "And he's my most beloved mammal of all time." She looked suspiciously at them, as they were confused. Destiny was new to them. They had yet to meet her. "Did that otter just say that the tall one betrayed my flippered sweetheart?"

Marlene looked over to her eyes, and slanted her head to the left a bit. "Skipper? Is that you?" Destiny slowly revealed herself from the bags. It was now very clear that it was not the Skipper they grew to easily recognize. She was somehow similar looking to Skipper, but highly beautiful. They never thought they would think of the words "Skipper" and "beautiful" being used in the same sentence, unless the word "isn't" was between them. There she was, though, the spitting image of Skipper, in all her glory. She sat down on top of the huge duffel bag, and slid down on her tail, as she carefully greeted each one.

She shook her head. "Not exactly, madam. I'm Destiny. I'm his big sister, and rather not suprised that you mistook me for him. I guess you could say we do look a bit similar." She grinned. Private shrugged a bit. They did look a little similar in facial expressions, especially when they were mad. "Now I would like to ask who you four are."

"Umm I'm Marlene, and I'm a close friend of your brother." She shook her hand and nodded.

She eyed the otter up and down, taking in her impression. Destiny didn't find it too easy to trust people."Pleasure to meet you, and who may I ask are these three?" She looked at the three furry animals next to her.

Marlene took at glance at the only other mammals in the room. She rolled her eyes to the boys. "Oh, they're just some lemurs, that know your brother and his team. They wanted to come along, because the zoo seemed a bit lonely without the boys. This is maurice, Mort, and Julien."

She looked at them, and raised her eyebrows. "All right. Well, I have trouble remembering mammal names, so I'll give you all code names."

"NO!" Julien shouted. "I am sick of being called ringtail. I demand to be named by the name I was given by the sky spirits!"

Destiny rolled her eyes. "Fine. State your name."

"King Julien." He smiled holding his head up high.

She shrugged. "Okay king Jerry. You go by your name, Marlene here goes by whiskers, you'll be eye eye, and you are sad eyes." She pointed at Maurice when she said eye eye, and pointed at Mort when she said sad eyes. Yep she was definitely Skipper's sister. Destiny's eye gleamed a bit, as if the words lonely pulled at her mind, for some reason. She lightly shook her head, and blinked a bit. "Oh okay. Well you all are civilians, but came anyways. I trust that Kowalski warned you that this is a very top class mission correct?" Her head jerked towards Kowaski. He nodded a few times, and she turned back to the mammals. "Well if you all insisted on ignoring Kowalski, then I have no choice, but to bring you along. I will defenitley not tolerate you being hazards to this mission. if you become a hazard, you may as well stay on this plane, to go back home. Do I make myself clear?" Julien was quite shocked, but slowly nodded his head. "Good I'm glad you all understand. I might be older than Skipper, but I'm still very young, and I have no trouble with speed, and I don't expect youger people to be."

Julien picked up the little penguin under her arms, and stared at her. "You don't look older. You are so tiny. You are even smaller than the cute penguin. If you ask me you are the little sister." Destiny's eyes grew angry. She was just as ill patiented with Julien as her little brother was.

Destiny glared at Julien. "Don't push it, king Jillian. I can take you out with my wings tied behind my back." Rico pulled her away from Julians grasp, and gave him an unsettleing glare. Kowalski walked up to the rude taller than himself lemur, and sighed.

"That's no way to talk to a sophisticated young lady. You will owe her an apoligy before this mission is over." Julian shrugged with a sneer, and walked away. He walked towards Destiny, as she straightened her ruffled feathers back down.

"Sheesh I hate being called Skipper's little sister. I'm a whole year older than him for crying out loud! Why am I always teased about my size." She growled.

Kowalski shrugged with a faint grin. "Well you'll always be my little sister. Even Skipper said it himself" Destiny stared at Kowalski as if he just insulted her pride or even her own bloodline.

"As if. You're just my brother's comrad, and I don't care what Skipper says. Besides," she brushed her chest eathers down trying to pull away from Kowalski's gaze. His eyebrow was raised in confusion. "In an effort of arguements, someday Skipper wil realize that I've always been right." She smiled the same cocky smile Skipper had when he thought he was right.

Kowalski scoffed. "That's my little sister" He patted her head, messing up her head feathers. She whined and swatted his hand away. She straightened her head feathers, and walked to a corner.

After a few minutes they seperated. The lemurs went to their own corner, talking about what they got themselves into. The boys, talked to Marlene telling her what had happened. Private saw Destiny laying on her back, her flippers behind her back, with her eyes shut. Her tail seemed exceptionally long for a penguin. He saw it when he was back at Bronx, but he didn't want to ask questions. Not wanting her to feel lonely, he walked over to her, and sat next her. he felt another question coming to him.

"I can hear your breathing, Private." an eye cracked open, slightly, with a smile following close behind. "Was there something you wanted to ask?"

"Uhmm actually yes I am. Why doesn't Skipper ever let anyone know about you? You seem like like a sweet enough girl. If you ask me, Skipper should introduce you to everyone." Destiny's eyes suddenly looked sad. She must have been suddenly embarrased, which wasn't what Private wanted to do.

"Well Private, ever since prof. Shard entered our lives, Skipper's always been afraid that an enemy would find out about me, and hurt me. When ever someone brought me up in conversation, he would tell them that he has no sister. Can you believe that? The only people he doesn't have trouble telling is Blowhole, Kowalski, and Rico. He thinks that Rico is a good older brother figure, but he said I shouldn't call him my brother per say. He's right you know. Rico never could be the same as a brother. He's more of a best friend. For some reason though, he wants Kowalski to be my older brother. Unlike Rico, Kowalski thought that sounded like a good idea, and thought that would be a great way to relate to me. But he's not my brother, no matter how much they want him to be. I don't care what Skipper says. Kowalski will never be my brother. I know he wants to be, but can't being friends be enough? As for Blowhole, Skipper knows he can't fool him. He didn't want to tell him, but i knew Blowhole before the boys did. If you ever asked about me, odds were he said he would tell you when you were older." She was right. When he asked about the picture, he said he would probably tell him someday. "Well he's just very protective. Even the people that have met me, he still tells them that I'm not his sister. I met an old enemy of his once. It was before me and Blowhole met. His name was Hanz. He was a puffin. Wow what a puffin he was." Her eyes sparkled a little bit. "Those long slender legs. Those choppy wings. He would take me flying. We kissed on the lips, and everything. Still Skipper wouldn't tell him I was his sister. I sure as heck told him though. Ahh what a man. That accent was so hypnotizing. He always brought me home made danishes, and flowers. A special place in my heart will always belong to him. I keep places in my heart for all the boys I date. But for now my heart mostly belongs to my scrumptious flippered lover Blowhole. Hey the puffin phase was fun while it lasted, but all penguins move on to bigger and better men. Yeah I know he is an enemy of Skipper, but I can't help it. That dangerous edge is attractive. I just wish Skipper's enemies weren't so handsome and attractive." Private put his wings over his ears. He met Hanz before, and didn't want to hear that. The puffin tried to take his home and eveything. It made him shiver just thinking about it.
