Chapter 3:
"Lieutenant," Skipper asked, "But that's a rank lower then me!"
"In the Speztnas, you guys are Privates, except you Skipper, you're a corporal." Raymond said. Skipper decided that it's okay, since he was still in charge of his team. Then Tanya came up from out of the sewers and joined the group. "So," Tanya asked, "What do we do now?"
"We get a eight man team together and we head to Central Park tomorrow." Raymond answered.
"Good. Let's see," Tanya said, "you and me make two, and the penguins make six, where are we going to get two more people?"
"Kyle?" Raymond asked.
"Why him?" Skipper said.
"He may be a pet to a huge business, but he's a heck of a shot." Raymond answered.
"Good." Tanya said, "And member number eight?"
"I'll find someone." Raymond said. Then the six of them went to the wolf habitat.
When the group got there, they saw the place was a very big mess. There were empty pizza boxes lying around and a Judas-Priest T-Shirt lying on the couch. They saw Kyle sitting on his couch watching TV. "Hey Kyle. We need to talk to you." Raymond said.
"Oh sure." Kyle said greeting them. "You want any pudding?" The group looked at Kyle with there eye bows raised. Then a Moment later, they were all sitting down at Kyle's dining room table eating out of pudding cups.
"So," Kyle said, "What brings you to my place?"
"Erik and Marlene were kidnapped by Dr. Blowhole. Now we need to assemble an eight-man team to rescue them and defeat Dr. Blowhole once and for all. Will you help us?" Raymond said.
"Wow. Who's Dr. Blowhole?" Kyle asked Raymond.
"Arch-nemesis. Remember?"
"Oh yeah. Sure, I'll help you. But I want to be a sniper and I want Max to be my spotter."
"Not Max." Raymond said. "Captain Reznov is going to take him to a safe location."
"Alright. Ummm… Darla?"
"Alright. I'll convince her." Then Raymond left.
"Kyle," Private said, "Where did you get all this pudding?"
"I won a life-time supply from a put-put tournament." Kyle said proudly.
At the Baboon exhibit, Darla was talking to the other Baboons when Raymond jumped in. "Darla, we need your help." Raymond said. "What is it?" Darla said. Then Raymond explained everything that happened. "Look," Darla said impatiently, "If you want my help, your gonna have to convince me to do it."
"Please?" Raymond said.
"Oh All right. I'll help." Darla said happily.
"Seriously?" A Baboon asked.
"He was polite." Darla said.
"Good. We leave tomorrow." Raymond said leaving.
At the Top Secret Hoboken Research Facility:
Two guards were carrying Erik and Marlene through a long white hallway and into a holding cell. Then, they threw the two of them in the cell. Then a guard, a male otter with Black Fur, was standing in front of the door to keep watch.
Then Erik got up and said, "Aw Shoot. What's going on?" "I don't know. But we have to get out of here!" Marlene said panicking.
"This is crazier than…uh…well there's nothing crazier than this!" Erik said.
"How do we get out of here?" Marlene asked.
"You can't," The Otter guard said, "There's no way out. So shut up!"
"Great," Marlene said to Erik, "Now what?"
"I don't know." Erik said, and then changed the subject. "You talk to Raymond yet?" "Uhh…no." Marlene said nervously.
"Come on Marlene. The way you're going to get over this awkward spell is if you try to talk to him."
"But it's too weird. Why would he kiss me? And what was he clarifying?"
"Maybe, and I'm just spit-balling this, he had a weir dream about you and him and now he's trying to see if he has feelings for you?"
Marlene looked at him with a fun look on her face and said, "Come on, Raymond? Please."
"I'm just saying." Erik said. Then Marlene went over to the bed that was in the cell they were in. She laid down on it and started thinking about Skipper and Raymond and what will happen to them. "Erik," Marlene said, "Do you think they will come for us?" "Knowing Raymond," Erik said reassuringly, "He will search everywhere for us."
The next day at Central Park zoo:
The eight of them were sitting around waiting for Raymond's leader to show up. Skipper was expecting a Lemur about the size of Raymond to show up. But when two helicopters showed up, Skipper was wrong. An Enormous Black bear jumped out of the helicopter and landed in front of the group. "This was your leader?" Skipper asked surprised. "Yes," The Back bear said, "Captain Dimirti Reznov."
"Great to see you again Comrade." Raymond said.
"You to. So where's this team of yours?" Reznov said.
"Right here." The Muscular Lemur said.
"Where? Are they behind these animals?"
"Sadly no, IT was at short notice. But don't let their appearances fool you, the penguins are an elite team, Darla has some weird backwoods magic, and Kyle has sharp aim."
"Ah. Well now," Reznov said turning to the team Raymond assembled. "You will do what Raymond or Tanya say. Understand?" Then the group saluted Reznov.
"Good. We go to Hoboken now. I'll go and take Max to a safe location now." Then Reznov ran into the sewer. "I'm surprised no one sees this." Kyle said.
"Alright team," Raymond said taking charge, "We'll split into 3 teams of 2. Kyle and Darla will be outside watching the building, Tanya, you take Rico and Kowalski and wait in front of the building. Skipper, Private and I will enter through the Vents. I'll signal you to come in. Understand?" "Yes sir!" The group said in unison. Wow…Skipper thought, just like me. I'm impressed. "This is a dangerous mission," Raymond continued, "I can't guarantee all of us will come back alive. But if your caught, you are to detonate the grenade in the gear you will be getting. That grenade does not leave your body. We have a code in Spetznas: Don't be taken alive. Alright?" The group nodded.
"Good," Raymond said, "Let's move out." Then the group got there gear, jumped into the helicopter, and went to Hoboken.
Side Note: Wow. Military like. Anyway, this will sound similar to Skoolgirls Fathers day, but it's not, it's pure coincidence if they are the same. Also, The Name Reznov is also used coincidental from Cod: World at War. And that's because I was thinking of a Random Russian name and that one came to mind. And don't ask how come no one can see this; it's because they're that good at being sneaky. And also, it's a bit of a Skiliene and A Tanmond, but it's not a Raylene (Raymond Marlene) it sounds like one, but its just friendship. I won't be pairing up those two anyway. Marlene has Skipper. And someone might die in this. So keep reading.
