Naive and not indispensable

- Kowalski ... what does "not indispensable" - small wonder the Private. Since Skipper said he was naive and not indispensable, decided to investigate its meaning.

It was normal to be told "naive", but never had referred to him as "not indispensable". Kowalski chasing took weeks to find its meaning and would not stop until he knew.

Kowalski was limited only to see it straight before answering, was the tenth time you asked that question and you were running out of excuses. I knew there would be removed from above the little penguin until you give him a clear answer ... I knew the meaning of the word but not have the heart to tell ... not trying to hurt him, but neither was able to lie.

So take your only option, run to the opposite direction! With the excuse of having forgotten something - Einstein For pants, ahhh ... forget that! -

Seeing running Kowalski, Private decided to look for someone else to explain it ... ask Rico was useless, I answered with the same evasive Kowalski but with other excuses ... maybe if I asked Skipper directly to get the answer.

When he finally managed to find a Skipper, Kowalski was observed that with him, but I can not hear you talking ... turned to notice him - Kowalski, you can retire - the aforementioned greet their leader and retired giving her a smile to Private ...

- What happens Private ... a problem - Skipper asked, placing his fin on his back ... to see this, Private assumed that there was a good idea to ask him, so looking for an excuse to get out of there ...

- Skipper was wondering if ... - he said while playing with their fins - Yes, Private? - He was interrupted by Skipper - If you could give me ... tomorrow ... I have to ... do some things ...

- Private What things? - Skipper's curiosity now rising, according to Kowalski, wanted to know the meaning of "not indispensable" ...

- Well ... you know ... things - responded with a smile trying to hide his nervousness ... - And what kinds of things ... - Skipper said approaching the face of Private - ahh I'll take tea with Mason ...

- Private Well ... permission granted, enjoy drinking tea - sometimes, Private out to tea with the chimpanzee, Skipper knew that the British nature of the soldier and refined nature Mason had become friends once ... but while I accompany the small soldier "enjoyed", he completely bored, the talk revolved around social issues, about how nice it was the weather, how to keep clean longer there, etc., for it looked like a pair of society ladies ... definitely not fit into that environment.

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

The next day he went to the habitat of chimpanzees ... Mason was waiting and immediately poured a cup of tea ... - It's nice to come to tea with me, and ... tell me, how is everything?

- Well, I think ... I have questions with one word, I would like to know its meaning, but the guys refuse to tell me ...

- How interesting, and what is that word? - Said as he crossed his leg and took a sip.

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

Skipper and Kowalski performed an inventory of weapons while they talked - no Skipper, considered that ought not to say these words to Private, has been chasing me all over to know the meaning of "not indispensable" ... though I suppose it has a slight idea which you referred.

- Kowalski ... exaggerate - the soldier's reproachful look interrupted - ok, ok, I admit, I should not say that when it was not true ... well yeah it's naive, but the "not essential" is not ... later will clarify things with him.

- BTW, where is Private ... I have not seen all day.

- Private was to visit the habitat of the apes ... you know ... that thing you like tea and chat about anything interesting topics ... - at that moment was interrupted by an alarm Kowalski.

- What you do ? You gave him permission to visit Mason and Phil! Skipper as you come!

- Oh! We Kowalski, do not tell me you do not like apes - asked confused, could not understand why the alarm of the soldier.

- Do not be so bad - he said, showing a false peace - if Phil can not read! - He responded by lifting the flaps - perhaps you do not realize Skipper, Private asked if the meaning of the word, they will respond without hesitation ...

Skipper At that moment he realized his mistake ... it was true, if it responded to small complicate things and could not fix his mistake ... - Kowalski, go to the habitat of the apes immediately.

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

- "Not indispensable" - Private said, while diluting the sugar cube ... I watch Mason - Private Those are two words in another to determine whether or not something useful -

Private I miss your tea ... "to determine the utility of a thing," thought ... - wait ... so what does - asked what would be the response imagining and wishing that was wrong.

- Private Well, you do not need ... you can dispense with the object - Mason finished sipping your cup of tea - why so much interest in the meaning of the word ...

- For nothing - Private responded completely destroyed ... I could not believe that Skipper think that way ... always striving to improve and believed, erroneously, that Skipper noticed.

In those moments came two penguins, but it was too late, heard when he answered a Private Mason and his reaction ... so I decided to return to base and think how to fix things ...

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

When the meeting ended, Private decided not to return to base, he needed to think things ... how right he was who said that "words hurt more than the blows."

- Skipper should talk to about it - in those moments resonated in his mind the question that brought such painful words:

- Why do I always I have to be the bait, Skipper?
- "Because you're naive and not necessary ... you're perfect"

Skipper then the words were true ... not considered necessary for the team, had no special ability that was always the bait ...

Decided to leave the zoo and go to the park, I needed time to think, well he was too sad to look at Skipper wanted to ask the reasons that led him to say such cruel and (probably) real words, but did not want to hear "that contradiction "she thought, smiling sideways.

His mind was a whirl of ideas, not knowing whether to return or leave the zoo, arrived at the lake that was in Central Park and was dedicated to throwing stones until calm ... with the head a little clearer, I notice that it was dark .

- Heavens, what time is it! Must be too late, Skipper is going to ... it's true, I'm "not indispensable" so no matter the time comes, nobody needs me - saying, he sat on the edge of the lake to see the reflection of the moon.

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

Skipper felt guilty when Private replied to your question, did it just for the hell of the little penguin, not with the intention of hurting you ... well, maybe I was a little awkward Private and apparently could not help himself, but all The team knew that it was not ... Private was a valued member of the team, not only because it was the lure of all operations or because it was a perfect subject for experiments Kowalski ... his fighting skills were excellent, the responses to the problems were simple and clear, had some gift of leadership when he wanted and a big heart ...

- Why I said those things to Private! - Cry for yourself - you know that I did not mean - turned to see Kowalski and Rico, they simply shook their heads ...

- We know Skipper, but he did not ... well this dark and have not returned, it is better to look for us to go. - Fences

Slid toward the habitat of chimpanzees, but they were preparing for sleep - Good night primates - greeting Skipper - We come for Private - Mason was confused Skipper

- Private went long, said he had some issues to clarify ...

- And did not say where he was going - said Kowalski, Skipper's face you could see the concern ... the worst ideas his mind assault "probably escaped from the zoo," he thought ... he was not the only one with that idea, commander also can imagine ...

- Okay guys ... it's time for the operation 'Penguin Lost', you better find him before nightfall more ... - but was interrupted by Mason - Phil says it was out of the north wall of the zoo, probably was for ice cream or something ...

If left on the wall ... that meant that he had indeed escaped, Skipper felt a pain in the heart ... no ever forgive himself if something happened to the little penguin ... it was his fault and he should do something to repair the damage done - we must achieve. Kowalski, options right away!

- Skipper must calm down, we better divide and crawl ... the starting point is the entrance to the zoo, Rico will fetch on the streets of the city, I'll go around the zoo and your Skipper ... - but not finished their words, Private was walking quietly with their eyes on the floor in your address without your notice ...

- Ehhh, Skipper, I think the search will not be needed after all - he pointed in the direction of the little penguin.

At the base ...

- Where were you! In what the hell were you thinking when you left without telling anyone - told completely altered by lifting the flaps and moving side to side - something could happen to you! Perhaps you forgot the creed of the penguin ...

- How you care - interrupted the young Private-am "not indispensable" in this team ... can not live without me - the attitude of Private to Private challenging the patience of Skipper ... was really worried about him ... let the anger accumulate in it and acted without thinking and in response gave a blow that knocked him to the floor.

- Ah! - Was all he said Kowalski Rico and had not been so annoying to Skipper. The latter could not believe what he had done, but there was no going back ... what was done was done.

The highest penguin ran up to Private, but the command of Skipper stopped him ... - Let Kowalski ... - Private I was confused, angry, sad and stunned by the blow ... were too many emotions together ...

- Excuse me, Skipper ... was not my intention to answer this ... just ... - the tears began to drain - do not think it was to let you down ... I swear I have tried to learn everything you've taught, but I see I'm no good ...

- That's not true Private ... I did not mean to say those words ... well, if not essential, do you think would be worried about you ... and that something could happen to you ever forgive me ...

Private Skipper hear the word, he saw his friends and smiled, he was right ... if not indispensable, not the delicacy had been taken to worry about him ... he got up and brushed the feathers - sorry guys! - I said as I smiled.

Now I had the solution, would work more on improving ... someday they achieve recognition of their efforts ... and maybe ... achieved up military grade, that was not such a bad idea ...

I hope you liked it failed to give a final well-established ... I have a feeling I am missing something, but lack of ideas I decided to publish. I will try not to be so repetitive and use a more fluid vocabulary.

Sorry if there are flaws in the wording and some misspellings, but I think I'm getting better.

Do not forget to leave Reviews, help me to improve my way of writing. Try to upload as soon as possible, the next chapter. I have several themes in mind, but if you would like to propose some ideas may emerge more ;)
