In the previous chapter, Peso had just been caught by... Herbert, and four EPF agents are looking for them both. Now lets see what's happening back at the Octopod...
"Peso, Peso, come in Peso..." Barnacles the polar bear said into the microphone at the Octopod,
Peso didn't respond.
Barnacles sounded the Octo-Alert "Octonauts to the HQ!" he ordered.
Once everyone was at the HQ Barnacles explained what had happened,
"We've just lost contact with Peso, he was with another penguin at the time as far as we know. And a deep voice said something odd just before he cried out and we lost contact. Actually the voice seemed rather familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it before."
"Arrr, I know what's happened to our shipmate, Captain." Kwazii Cat emerged from the shadows,
"He's been kidnapped by the Giant Furry Mutant Crab!"
"The what?" Shellington the sea otter looked rather puzzled.
"The Giant Furry Mutant Crab! He's a giant mutant crab with fur (obviously), and he lurks on lonely islands. Waiting for the right moment to pounce on un-expecting penguins that stray too close! I've heard many a story of this beast near these islands, can't wait to find it! Yarhar!"
"Well mutant crab or not, Peso is missing, and we need to find him." Barnacles said,
"Tweak get the Gup A ready, me and Kwazii are going to go look for Peso."
"Got it Cap!" Tweak smiled.
...
Soon the two Octonauts were on their way to Club Penguin in the Gup A.
"I hope Peso's alright." Barnacles muttered as they surfaced.
"Wow!" Kwazii exclaimed "That's one strange penguin island, look there's even a Lighthouse on it!"
"This does seem a bit strange." Barnacles agreed, "Why don't we start searching for Peso there?"
"Ok Captain." Kwazii turned the Gup A and headed for the Lighthouse.
...
Meanwhile further along the island at the Ski Village, a green penguin wearing a red propeller cap, shades, and a red Hawaiian shirt, was eating an ice-cream.
"Agent Rookie!" A dark blue penguin, wearing a lab coat and large glasses, waddled over. "Why are you eating ice-cream on the job?"
"Hey Gary, um what job?" Rookie the green penguin asked.
Gary sighed, "Four EPF agents called me on their spy phone, not long ago, saying that they have spotted Klutzy running around in the forest, and have found some paw-print tracks leading deeper into the forest."
"Herbert!" Rookie exclaimed.
"Yes I presume that too, so your mission is..."
"To go and help them track him down in the forest?"
"No... I want you to go to the beach, to the Lighthouse Beacon and see if you can see anything from up there."
Gary knew that Rookie was less experienced than the other agents, so he wanted him out of the way while the agents tracked Herbert.
"Oh, ok Agent G" Rookie looked downcast,
"Report back to me when you're done." Gary called as Rookie waddled towards the Lighthouse, still holding his ice cream.
