Puppet Soldiers
Chapter 6
Final Chapter
After all the fighting, Allen got ready to leave. He placed the Gorgonites back into his backpack, but kept Archer out so there would be more room for the other Gorgonites. As Allen began to walk out the front door with Archer in his arms, he turned around to face Jake and the puppets. "Thank you for the help." Allen told Jake. Jake nodded and said, "No problem. I'm glad that we could help." And with that, Allen headed back to the hotel he was staying in before he found the Gorgonites.
When he ventured closer to the hotel, he could see a couple of police cars in front of the building. "Oh No! Mom and Dad must be worried!" Allen rushed in to the lobby to find his parents talking to the police officers. "Mom! Dad!" His parents turned to see their missing son running towards them. "Allen! Where have you been?!" His fathered yelled. Allen turned to the officers and told them if he could talk to his parents alone. They nodded and left.
Allen then began to tell his story to his parents and even brought the Gorgonites out to show he wasn't lying. When he was done, his mother asked the question that neither Allen nor the Gorgonites had thought about. "What are they going to do now when they don't even have a boat?" Allen and all the Gorgonites were dumbstruck by this but the father replied for them. "That's easy. We can keep them while I build another boat for them." It took a minute for the Gorgonites to understand what Allen's father just said, but they all agreed that would be a good idea.
"Come on Allen. We should have fun until the end of our vacation. Race you to the pool!" Allen's father yelled the last sentence as he started to head towards the pool. "Hey! I just got back!" Allen shouted back, running after his father. His mother giggled. "Boys. Can't live with them, but can't kill them." She joked the last part of course. The Gorgonites all nodded, but then the males from the group shouted "Hey!" realizing what she said, while the mother and Scratch-It giggled.
Back at the Bodega Bay Inn, Jake sighed as he picked up the bodies of the dead Commando Elite members. "Let's just throw these in the bushes and hope no body finds them." The puppets nodded as the followed Jake. After hiding the toys, the group headed back inside. Hiding in the bushes were Globotech guards that had been assigned to find the Commandos after they escaped the lab. They tracked the toys here using the chips, which had a tracking device so the guards could find the toys easily. When the guards got to the Bodega Bay Inn, the signal had died. The guards knew that if the signal had died then the chips must have been destroyed.
After hiding for a while, the guards saw an 18 year old boy throw the dead toys into the bushes right next to the building. (If they looked at the boys feet, they would have seen 5 puppets following the
boy, but from where they hid they couldn't see the moving puppets.) Once the boy was gone, the guards went over to the bushes and retrieved the toys. They knew Gil Mars won't be happy about this.
