The three of them were forced to walk with burlap sacks over their heads. They were constantly tripping over their feet. They were led into some sort of building, at their guess, abandoned. They were sat down and a rope was wrapped around them, tying them together.

"Where's the fourth? And Eve?"

"I don't know sir. Skipper was on the other side of the park. We sent Eve over to deal with him since she's are best fighter. We haven't seen her since." The Boss sighed and looked over to his colleague. "Didn't te say that he was the one we needed?" His colleague nodded. "Yes, he's the only one that's wanted in Denmark."

"Then what do te suggest we do?"

"Absolutely nothing. Skipper will come to their rescue, and knowing him the way I do, he'll have Eve leading the way." The Boss looked across the room. "Heather! Coffee!" The small female pinguino across the room nodded, and brought him coffee, not saying a word.

"He'd better. te know what I do to those who don't follow-through on their end of the deal?"

"Yes. But I have no worries. He'll come, you'll collect the reward money in Denmark, I get my revenge and can do whatever I want to the others as an added bonus."

"How much did te say the award for his arrest was?"

"It was 25000 in American dollars, but after all these years it's probably più now."

"Excellent. Would te like any coffee Hans?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a normal giorno at the zoo. The penguins had just finished their adorable pinguino antics, and were waving goodbye to the humans as they passed their habitat. "Good job boys!" Skipper exclaimed. Private waddled up to him. "Was I good Skipper?"

"You know te were! As always." Private smiled. "I need to tell te something." Private told him, his smile fading. "What is it Private?"

"My sister. te need to save my sister."

"What?"

"My sister. Save my sister... Skipper opened his eyes.

He heard something, then realized it was Eve. That's when his dream made più sense. It was Eve, mumbling, "My sister...save my sister..." Sister? What sister? Why does she need saving? That's when he realized it was morning. Snow was falling, and was about an inch thick on the ground now. He looked down at Eve, who was sleeping peacefully on his chest. He shook her a little bit. "Eve, it's morning, wake up." Eve slowly opened her eyes and slightly picked up her head. "Hm?"

"It's morning. Wake up."

"Oh." With a yawn she sat herself up. "Did you, uh...sleep okay?" Skipper asked awkwardly. "Yeah. You?"

"Yeah." He answered getting to his feet and shaking the snow off his head. He untied her from the dumpster. "We'd better get a sposta on. The faster we get there the faster we get out of this snow." Eve stood up and walked past him shivering in the freezing cold wind and snow.

Walking through the streets of New York, they realized how famished they were. But unfortunately for them, there wasn't anything to eat in sight. They turned into an alley, in hopes of finding scraps. Much to their surprise, they found some and walked toward it. But before they even got to touch it, a low growling sound was heard.

Skipper stepped in front of Eve. "What was that?" He whispered. Then two big Cani came out of the dark end of the alley. "Hey Marv..."

"Yeah Harry?"

"I think these two delicious looking penguins were about to snag our stash."

"Look canines...we didn't come looking for trouble..." Skipper told them.

(Harry) "Well I guess that's too bad then. Because troubles' what te found."

"They look tasty Harry..." The one that went da 'Marv' said. "Yeah...they do...Hey te two come with ketchup?" Marv burst out laughing.......for a long time... "Okay that's enough Marv." He still laughed. "Shut up Marv!" Harry kicked him in the side. "Ow! Gosh, sorry Harry...Just tryin to have a sense of humor...Are we gonna eat 'em now?"

"Yeah...I haven't had a decent meal in a long time." The two of them started walking toward Skipper and Eve. Skipper got into combat position, his center of gravity low. "Get back Eve..." Eve started walking backward. "Skipper...just turn and run...they won't be able to catch us..." Eve warned. "Better listen to your girlfriend dough boy. I enjoy fast food..." Harry said, resulting in Marv bursting out laughing again. "Shut up Marv!" He detto kicking him again. In the midst of that distraction, Skipper and Eve took off running. They could hear Harry in the background. "See what te did Marv!? Let's get 'em before they get away!"

Skipper and Eve raced down the sidewalk, the Cani were gaining on them. They could hear the growls and snarls, along with the pounding of their footsteps. Eve was struggling to run with her flippers still bound behind her back. "Skipper! Untie me! I can't run like this!" She cried.

"No time!" Skipper detto grabbing her flipper, trying to run faster. He looked ahead at the strada, via light, which was red. He sprinted in hopes that it wouldn't turn green before he crossed. That's when Eve tripped. Skipper fiddled with the ropes around her flippers, the Cani getting closer. He finally got the ropes off, but the light had already turned green and cars were blocking their escape. The Cani reached them panting. "Well...looks like little birdies have nowhere to run." Marv said. "Yep. te two shoulda stayed at the zoo. I'm gonna enjoy this..." Harry stepped closer but Eve charged at him, stood on her flippers, and rounded a powerful kick to his face. "Ow! What the!?"

"You okay Harry?" Eve flip-kicked Marv in the face, grabbed his leg, and flung him into Harry. "This chick is crazy!" Harry exclaimed. "Lets get out of here!" Marv said, and the both of them took off running in the other direction. Eve turned around and looked at Skipper, who was staring at her in shock. "Thanks for the help. Lets go then." She detto walking past him, dusting off her shoulders. Skipper followed.

They walked in silence for a long time. A long, awkward silence. Skipper was the first to speak. "You know...um...Eve...that was uh...pretty impressive back there..." Skipper said, finishing with an awkward clearing of his throat. "Thanks...I guess..." Eve replied. She shivered again, both of them once again realizing their hunger. "How much further?"

Eve looked at their surroundings. "About another three days walk. Unless we can find a faster way to sposta through New York." Skipper looked around. "Well, I could find a faster way, but considering I have no idea where we're going...I-"

"-We're going to Block Island, alright?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Block Island? When were te planning on telling me this? When we got to the shoreline?"

"I thought so yes."

"Why are te telling me this now? I thought te didn't want me to know till we got there!"

"I changed my mind." Skipper hesitated before asking. "Does this have anything to do with...this morning?"

"What are te talking about?"

"Well...this morning te were mumbling in your sleep...You were saying something about needing to save your sister." Eve looked down, not sure of what to say. "I....well...uh...."

"Eve...is there something you're not telling me?" She looked back at him. "The man I work for ha rubato, stola me and my sister from my parents. When he found out my sister was mute, he worked her as a servant and used me as a slave. My recente job was to bring te to him dead o alive. If I don't, who knows what he'll do to my sister." She hung her head in sorrow. Skipper brought her chin up. "How about this? I'll let te take me to your boss, and I'll find a way to break out my men and your sister."

"After all I've done why would te want to help me?"

"That's just what I do. What do te say?"

"Okay." She smiled. "Thanks."

"No problem. So what's your sister's name?"

"Heather."
