Private knew what he had to do. He crept forward. Infront of Skipper on the enormous ceinture were knives. Private ran as fast as he could and jumped to push Skipper off in time to save him, but it was too late to save himself. He was cut and flew into Skipper's direction infront of the leader.
S: "Private! Private, come on, say something!"
The little soldier was motionless. Skipper held him in his flippers tightly. He felt warm liquid running down his chest. It was blood! Nigel raced up.
N: "Oh no, Private boy, please wake up!"
Skipper didn't budge, just cried holding his son tightly. The convare ceinture came to a holt. The Red écureuil laughed in triumph. Just then a loud noise came from the door. It was Marlene, but she was in her wild form.
R.S.: "What in the world is that?"
Marlene tackled the Red Squirrel. It lead to a merciless brawl between the two. plus footsteps came.
K: "Skipper! Private!"
The team entered, and saw the scuffle. Rico conveantly spit out a rope to tie up the squirrel.
Kowalski ordered the team through the whole mission.
K: "Rico, hold him down! Lemurs, tie the rope!"
Soon their mission was accomplished. Well, almost all of their mission. Marlene felt dizzy and fainted back into Kowalski's flippers.When the team finally found them. Marlene got back on her feet back to normal, but soon joined the rest of the team La Reine des Neiges in shock.
K: "Private?!"
M: "Skipper!"
They rushed over and the others followed.
S: "It should have been me! It's my fault!"
All of them cried for the little penguin. Marlene cried on Skipper and hugged him.
M: "No, Skipper, it's not your fault."
S: "He saved my life! I promised him I would protect him! I failed! Now he's gone."
K: "Wait, Skipper, let me see Private!"
R: "Private!"
Rico was even sobbing for the young soldier.
Kowalski examined Private.
K: "I could save him as long as we get him to my lab fast enough!"
The team rushed to the H.Q. with out rest,but it was a day's journey back on foot. Private didn't have that much time. A taxi drove up sudddendly and Skipper knocked out the driver. They rushed in, but nobody a dit a single word for a while. All except Skipper and Rico were in the back silent standing around Private. After awhile Marlene couldn't take it any plus and walked up to Skipper, who had his eyes fixed on the road and the speed up to the max. He didn't even blink.
M: "Skipper, are toi okay?"
S: "No, not really."
M: "I was worried sick about you. I thought toi were..."
S: "How did toi find me when toi were, toi know wild?"
M: "Well, Kowalski told me to stay for that reason, but I couldn't keep myself away. I forced myself to go, and my instincts, I guess, lead me to you."
From the back of the car Kowalski watched and listened into their disscusion. Something was bothering him.
When they reached the H.Q. Kowalski brought Private in his lab, and without hestitation knocked everything off his table. Laying Private down, Kowalski looked frustrated.
S: "Kowalski, status!"
K: "We're going to need a miracle for Private to survive this."
Private prooved how much he cared for his leader.
