"Skipper!" It was Private's turn to watch the monitors for any suspicious behavior, and the pinguin was currently staring at one of the screens. "He's done it again!"
"What is it, Private?" sagte Skipper, clearly annoyed. "We were playing a game of cards!"
The leader had some cards in his flippers. The rest of the penguins came out. Kowalski cleared his throat. "Actually, I'm kind of glad Du called us, Private. I was having a losing hand anyway."
Skipper glared at him. "Well, how do Du think I feel? I was winning!"
At that moment, Marlene came out. She had been filling in for Private in their game of cards. "Yeah, I see it's about to get rough, and I know you're all like classified and stuff so I'm going to leave."
She waved at them before heading in to the tunnel that would lead her to her habitat. "Bye!"
Private waved back. "See yah!"
Kowalski was at the monitors and had found what Private had seen. "I think Du should see this, Skipper."
Skipper placed his cards on the tabelle before waddling over. "Great staubsauger, hoover Dam!"
Kowalski took out his abacus. "That would make it his-" he did some calculations, "third time this week!" The scientist threw up his flippers, sending the tool crashing somewhere. "We can't keep doing this! There are other operations that need our expertise."
Skipper nodded thoughtfully. "You may be onto something here, Kowalski. Just tell me if Du have any options."
Kowalski nodded. "Right. Du guys start thinking of something while I go find my abacus."
He waddled towards where they had last heard the abacus land up at. A few Sekunden later, chaos was heard, and Kowalski was seen running out, screaming at some unknown creatures. "Give that back! It's mine!"
The rest of the penguins stared after him. "Okay," sagte Rico.
Skipper nodded. "You stahl, stola the words right out of my mouth."
Private tapped his flippers together. "I do hope he gets his abacus back. Perhaps we should get him a calculator for his birthday! After all, Du and Rico did destroy his old one that he saved for months to get."
Rico threw his flippers up in mock surrender. "Hey! Wasn't my fault!"
"Rico is right," sagte Skipper. "Kowalski should have told us it was his abacus."
Private rolled his eyes. "Sure."
Skipper glared at him. "Don't roll your eyes at your commanding officer, soldier."
Private let out a squeak. "Um, I was just –just –looking up at our decorative spikes! Yes, that's it. When are we going to take them down?"
Skipper narrowed his eyes. "I'm keeping an eye on you."
Kowalski came back –panting but victorious. "I've done it! So, what did Du come up with?"
Rico rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Nothing."
Kowalski sighed. "What would Du do without me?"
"Investigate," sagte Skipper curtly.
"Well," Private piped up. "We could just ask him to stop."
The other penguins looked at each other before bursting out into laughter. "Ask?" choked out Kowalski.
"Joey?" added Rico.
"Are Du trying to get yourself killed?" finished Skipper.
Private stood there, his arms crossed. "No need to make fun of it!"
They finally stopped laughing. Skipper turned to Kowalski. "Options?"
"We could go check it out?"
"Move out, men."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well this isn't something an average animal would see every day," noted Skipper.
"Note the word average," sagte Kowalski.
"At least he's happy and not trying to kill oder beat anybody up," sagte Private.
"This could prove o be a problem if he doesn't stop," stated Kowalski.
"Uh huh," sagte Rico.
They stared at Joey. His habitat was filled with stuff from Australia. The känguru himself was beaming. Skipper glanced at Kowalski. "Do Du think he is going to stop going to the mall and terrorizing the citizens to get what he wants?"
Kowalski shook his head. "Probably not. Do Du want statistics?"
"Nah." Skipper shook his head.
"So," asked Private. "We're going back to the mall again?"
"Affirmative," sagte Skipper.
Kowalski sighed. "I wonder how long it would take for the animal control officers to finally catch him oder discover that the security tapes have been tampered with."
"Ka boom?"
Skipper shook his head. "I wish it was that easy."
Kowalski hopped off the wall. "Let's go. I just hope we have enough fuel in our car to get there."
"And off we go again," sagte Private, following. "The new Lunacorn doll just came out anyway."
Skipper gave him a look of disgust. "I don't know what is it with Du and those dolls."
"I'm starting a collection!"
Skipper rolled his eyes. "Rico, take Private and get the car. We'll meet Du at the gates in five."
Rico nodded enthusiastically before dragging Private off. "Rico! Put me down!" cried the boy. The psychopath paid no mind to him.
Kowalski glanced at his leader. "Was that really necessary?"
Skipper shrugged. "Probably not, but it never fails."
"So, how are we going to stop him?"
"Oh I have a plan."
Kowalski stopped momentarily. "Marlene?"
"Well, of course! She's good with words."
"I'm guessing there is a and."
"And Joey doesn't beat women up oder kick them out of his habitat."
"He still has his temper."
Skipper waved it away. "If Marlene can handle Ringtail and I, she can handle Joey."
Kowalski gave him a skeptical look, but he knew better that to Frage his leader. Instead, he looked towards the otter habitat and whispered, "You might want to run, Marlene."
Marlene lay out in the sun when she suddenly snapped open her eyes. "Huh? I could have sworn someone told me to run."
She saw the two penguins waddling towards the gate. "Skipper and Kowalski? That's not good. They're probably up to something."
She lay back down again before sitting up. "And knowing them, I have a role in it."
She got up. "Well, there's no better time for a walk in the park but the present, ay?"
