Welcome to chapter 6. I hope you like the story so far. As usual, *'s means notes at the bottom, a (P) symbol means a perspective change from one character or scene to another, and italicized words means I'm quoting what a character has said before. Let's read.
CHAPTER 6 – A Worried Penguin
It took a little while, but Kowalski had come up with a plan. "Skipper, I've come up with a plan for when we arrive in San Francisco," Kowalski said. "Outstanding, soldier. First of all, time to our destination," Skipper said. "We are about an hour and a half away from San Francisco, Skipper," Kowalski answered.
"Good. So what is your plan?" Skipper asked. "Well, I first think that since Blowhole showed up, there won't many humans outside anymore, so we'll be able to navigate this car easier without them," Kowalski explained.
"I propose we try to stun and mind jack him with one of Rico's knockout bombs and his own Segway," Kowalski said. "What about Marlene recovery options?" Skipper asked questioningly. "Well, I'm still certain he does not have Marlene, but we'll have to fan out and try to find her. What does your gut say?" Kowalski asked Skipper half-jokingly. *
"My gut is also saying Blowhole doesn't have Marlene, but it also says he nearly got to her. That worries me," Skipper said. "Don't worry Skipper. I'm sure Marlene's all right. Maybe she's even trying to defeat Blowhole," Private suggested. "Private, if Marlene took down Blowhole, that'd be a sight to see," Skipper replied.
"Huh. That's interesting," Skipper said after a minute. "What's interesting, Skipper?" Kowalski asked. "My gut is saying right now that she's got an ally," Skipper replied. "Any idea who?" Kowalski asked, curiously. "Kowalski, my gut isn't very specific, you know that," Skipper replied. "Well, at least she's got a friend, whoever it is," Private said cheerfully. (P to Skipper)
"Kowalski said we're in the same universe as before, right?" I thought to myself. "There's only one person I know in this universe that knows of us personally. It's that human, Matthew. Hopefully he's helping to protect Marlene. If Blowhole doesn't have her yet, then he's doing a better job than I did. I've still got to think of an apology to Marlene. I've already made her an honorary Penguin, so that's out," I kept thinking.
"Marlene taking down Blowhole would be great to watch, though. I mean, my soon-to-be wife taking down my arch foe? That would be great. She knows lots of moves, thanks to our training with her. Well, me training her on our dates," I continued thinking. **
"I'm sure she's ready, the question is if she knows that she's ready. Blowhole is a hard one to defeat. She might have Matthew, but we didn't have enough time to train him last time. I'll have to remind myself later to teach him some of our moves. I just hope Marlene is safe," I finished thinking.
Skipper is really determined to get Marlene back. Sorry this chapter was really short compared to my usual ones. But please rate and review. Time for a couple notes.
* Reference to "Gut Instinct."
** Skipper would definitely do that, there's not a doubt in my mind.
