Adapting to a new life. Chapter 15 (Dead-Line)
Once again Mark left the area but to everyone's surprise he also removed his guards so that only the three captive birds were there. Jewel started to bash the sides of the cage hoping that it would break but she already knew it was hopeless while Joe tried to get a good sight on the code lock but just like Jewels attempts it was useless as he couldn't angle himself.
"God, dammit! I was so close!." Joe snarled with his wings clinched.
"Close to what?." Jewel curiously asked.
"My owner." Joe responded.
"I do hate to tell you but it didn't seem like you were close to anyone who would help you in fact that's the whole reason why you got captured." Jewel informed.
"Well if we get out of this remind me to thank the bartender at that dangerous environment." Joe asked.
"Its called a club and why?." Jewel question said.
"Because I don't remember anything after taking that drink" Joe finished before looking around the cage for anything that might help them out.
"Hey I have a plan, we'll use our own body weight to rattle the cage from side to side?." Joe explained.
Jewel with no other plan agreed and stood at the other side of the cage from where Joe was.
"Ready?...go!." Joe yelled while tilting the cage straight after Jewel and vice versa.
But to there surprise the cage wouldn't even nudge a little even if they both pushed the same side suddenly Joe remember that there was another bird in with them. He was more shocked that they both completely forgot about her as she was just silent while staring at the ocean. Jewel and Joe looked at each other before nudging their shoulders.
"Katie what's wrong.?" Jewel asked as she approached her first.
"Jeez, is her face always this red I mean I would understand if it was Blu or..." Joe was about to finish before being taken off guard.
Katie's head swiftly moved from left to right before she came back to reality and looked at the other two.
"Sorry I was just day dreaming." She apologized. "So what's the plan?."
"Um basically just run full force into the sides of the cage when we do." Jewel explained.
Now that all three of them were pushing it was no surprise that the cage did in face began to shift closer and closer to the edge of the table that they were currently settled on. Finally just as the cage began to tipple everyone charged for the side with all there force and send it straight off onto the floor. While Jewel and Katie landed on their stomachs Joe held onto the top of the cage with his wing, only dropping after the impact.
"Okay what's next Joe?" Jewel asked while rubbing her head.
"To be honest I wasn't expecting to get this far so i don't know but if any of you have an idea please feel free to speak." Joe announced.
"Wonderful its always when Blu isn't around stuff like this happens." Jewel grunted.
(Meanwhile inside a police station.)
"Sir I think we have a lock on there location." A police officer said to Dan.
Daniel looked over at the screen to see a fuzzy video recording of a group of men exiting a car with Joe's cage.
"Yea that's them were is that." Daniel asked.
"20 minutes south of here near the old ports if you want to we can send a team of police but that would take more time?." The officer responded.
"No just come as fast as you can ill go check the place out first." Dan argued before leaving the station and approaching Tulio's car.
"So do you know were they are?." Linda asked.
"20 minutes south of here near a port apparently." Dan replied.
"That's going to take some time to get to but lets hurry." Tulio ordered.
Once everyone got inside with Blu landing on Linda's leg the car began to cough out smoke and move. One the way there Dan for once in his trip to Rio took this spare time to look at the scenery it bought him some time to forget about all the drama and fears he has had to experience for the past two days. The sun now almost dipping its toes into the horizon could now allow stars to be free and stand out along with the huge dominate white ball slowing rising in the opposite direction. Its almost if the sun and moon were put onto a weightier with the sun only being slightly heavier. Street lights started to flicker and illuminate its own light even know it barley needed it since the buildings left and right of it were more brighter. Just as soon as Dan began to un wind the car came to a sudden halt...
"Okay were here." Linda said.
"Already?, its literally felt like an hour!." Dan protested.
"Well time does fly by especially when you were about to fall asleep." Tulio intervened.
"The police shouldn't be long so how about we just play this safe and that includes you Blu" Linda informed while pointing at everyone.
Blu squawked before flying off allowing the others to make their move.
"All right were would Jewel and all be?." Blu thought to himself before going flying into the abandoned port.
Once inside Blu landed on top of a small crane used to un load cargo then started to look around the place. With no sign of Jewel and anyone he took flight once again and wiggled himself through a small gap in a wall leading to the other side. Suddenly he heard others taking...not Jewel and all but others he slowly poked his head around the corner to see a Mark talking on the phone with 4 others either talking to each other or kicking a bottle around.
"Yeah I had him ready for collection all that is needed is you to come around and take them...Where are he?...well well well the Lear's macaw is secured in a cage but just to show my gracious attitudes I have also added in another Lear's macaw, a female one and a female Blue Spix macaw you know those birds that were apparently rare until a whole tribe was found!" Mark talked on the phone.
"He's got Jewel as well?." Blu shockingly whispered.
"So you'll be here in 10 minutes?...perfect I've already receive the money and its in the bank thanks for doing business my friend." Mark finished then walk back into the room that Blu was previously in.
Once Blu wiggled his way through the gap he followed Mark just in case he was going over to the others he was proven right to be suspicious as he saw Jewel hissing at mark with Joe and Katie trying to push the cage.
"Ha I hope you had you little thrill trying to escape because it was your last just 10 minutes and new life's will open up to you all or if your unlucky you will become a nice dinner for others" Mark told them while giggling a bit before walking off.
