Chapter 4: Thoughts

Pedro lays on the bed in his hotel room and stares up at the ceiling fan. He watches it go slowly around and around and around as he is lost in his thoughts. "So, the Shadow is actually a chica...A very... Very bonita chica..." He mumbles to himself and puts his flippers behind his head on the pillow. "A very sassy and bonita chica." Pedro grins widely as the ceiling fan finally stops spinning.

*Buzzzzzz...Buzzzzzzz...*

Pedro sits up and takes out his cell now vibrating phone. "Hola, this is Pedro." He answers it. "My status report, Commander?" Pedro glances at himself in the mirror with a slightly nervous look. "Umm..." He quickly thinks of something to say. "Well, I had a run in with the Shadow...But he, uh...Got away, sir..." Pedro waits a moment as he is forced to listen to Commander Harold's rant about his incompetence. "Sí, I pursued after him, but the trail went cold..." Pedro decides that it probably would be best if he didn't tell the commander that the Shadow is a woman...He figures the commander may have the mission given to a female agent then. "Alright, sir..." Pedro hangs the phone up with a sigh.

Pedro lays back on the bed again and stares up at the stopped fan. "Best mission ever..." He mumbles with a small yawn before going to sleep.

The next morning, Pedro gets up with a smile. "Adriana...What a pretty name.." He mumbles to himself as he eats his breakfast of fish and waffles. He takes a sip of his coffee, staring at the wall lost in his thoughts again. "I wonder where she is now...And if she's sing—" Pedro slaps himself. "Pedro! She is a criminal! A murderess even! Get a hold of yourself!" He mutters to himself. "She's not up for grabs even if she is single..."

Pedro finishes his breakfast and then leaves the hotel. He goes for a quiet waddle around Barcelona, mostly to try and get his mind off of Adriana, but also to look for any signs of her. 'If I was an evil murderess where would I hide at?...' Pedro ponders silently to himself. He silently waddles unknowingly back to the alley he had had his encounter with Adriana at.

He then sees the alley and recognizes it. "I wonder if she left any clues behind..." He says to himself and he begins to examine the alley. Pedro slides down to the dead-end and looks around at the walls and the ground. Nothing. He waddles slowly back towards the entrance of the alley. Nothing. Pedro sighs and sits down with his back against one of the walls.

"La Sombra lives up to her nickname well." Pedro says to himself with a small chuckle. "Not a thing here but shadows...Too bad they're not the shadow I'm looking for." Suddenly Pedro feels what feels like a small rock bounce off his head. "Ow!" He looks upward while he rubs his head.

"You keep talking to yourself like this, Pedrrrrrro, and someone may think you're loco." Says a voice out of no where. Pedro looks around and then sees a penguin outline in the shadow. The figure steps out revealing Adriana.

Pedro looks at her very surprised. "What are you doing here?" He asks as he without much movement takes a small tracking device out from a pocket on his belt.

"I could ask you the same." Adriana says as she crosses her flippers with a small smirk. She hasn't noticed what he is doing.

"I...Erm...No reason..."

Adriana rolls her eyes. "Um hmm, like I believe that." She says sarcastically.

Pedro looks at her. "Well, what are you doing here?" He asks.

"I left something here by accident..." She says. "Which was all thanks to you!" Adriana says this with a small growl in Pedro's direction. She waddles over to the end of the alley past Pedro, and as she does this, Pedro flicks the small device onto the edge of Adriana's dark cloak. Adriana waddles over to a sheet of paper and it and puts it in a pocket of her cloak.

Pedro watches her and decides to have some fun with this conversation. "Hey, how come you haven't killed me yet?" He asks with a smirk.

Adriana shrugs. "Would you like for me to kill you now? I mean, I have plenty of time to do so now, if that's what you want, niño." She says as she takes out her knife and looks at Pedro with a bit of a evil glint in her green eyes.

Pedro shakes his head. "No, I'm fine with staying alive here, but gracias." He replies jokingly. "So, where are you going?" He asks as Adriana waddles past him again. He glances at the trim of her cloak and sees that the device is still there.

"Like I'd tell the 'curious cop' where I'm going, ha ha! Don't make me laugh." Adriana says as she rolls her eyes and waddles out of the alley. Pedro watches her and then gets up and slides after her until she vanishes. Again.

Pedro stops with a sigh. "Darn." He mutters a bit crossly to himself. He then feels a small rock hit him in the head again. "Ow!" He exclaims again and looks around for the culprit as he rubs his head. He then sees Adriana giving him an irate look not too far away. She waddles over to him.

"What part of 'follow me and I will kill you' do you not understand?" Adriana asks with a growl as she unsheathes her knife and points it in Pedro's face.

Pedro shrugs. "I'm a terrible listener." He says.

Adriana growls at him. "...If it wasn't that this is broad daylight, I'd kill you now...But, I think I'll wait until dark and kill you when you're sleeping."

"Fantástico, want me to tell you my room number?" Pedro replies jokingly.

Adriana narrows her eyes at him. Pedro guesses that she hadn't liked his joke much. "Just keep your beak to your own business and out of mine, okay? Conceder this your final warning, Pedrrrro." She then slides quickly off. Pedro watches her go with a small shrug. He has a tracking device on her now; he could easily find her on his laptop...

Pedro face-flippers as he realizes that he left his computer back in Peru. "Well, darn." He mutters a bit agrivatedly. "Guess I'll have to postpone tracking her down for a día or dos..." He slides to his hotel room.
