Marlene laid against the dark, damp soil, nearly losing consciousness. The air was growing heavy, and her breathing was becoming labored. She'd been underground for almost an jam now, and was running out of oxygen. In the pitch black, she'd never felt lebih alone.
She and Private had left the zoo for snowcones. But when they got close, a human spotted them and they had to hide in a panic haste. Private sought refuge in a trashcan while Marlene merpati into an abandoned fox hole. But the seterusnya thing she knew, the human ran across it in cari of her and the vibration caused the loose soil to collapse, closing off the entrance, but thankfully not covering her completely.
When she tried to dig her way out, it started to collapse again, so she had to stop. She knew Private would come to her aid, atau rush to find help. It'd been so long, she'd decided that either Private had no idea where she was atau what had happened to her, atau had realized that digging her out could possibly cause it to collapse before they could get to her and had to think of something else.
While she was down there, she had a lot of time to just think. What else was there to do? She discovered that there were a lot of things that were left unanswered.
What was Skipper like before he became the leader of his quadrant of penguins? She knew he had a mysterious and "classified" past, but she wondered if he only berkata that because he didn't want to talk about it. Surely, not every detail of his life was classified. Did he ever Cinta anyone? Why did he decide he wanted to be a militant leader?
Why did Mort have a fetish over Julien's feet? Mort had been that way since she'd met him, and while she thought it strange, she never really thought about why he had that obsession to begin with. However, she couldn't even begin to guess what that story was.
Why is Alice always such a grouch? If she hates her job so much, what's to stop her from quitting and finding something else to do? Marlene wondered if there were something that would make her happier. Perhaps a soulmate?
How did Rico obtain the ability to menelan almost anything and regurgitate it on command? She imagined it must've taken a lot of practice. But even with practice, how does one fit so much into such a tiny body?
Now that she was beginning to run low on oxygen, her thinking started to become hazy. Anything that she tried to think Lost clarity and she became confused. Her head started to feel as if it were underwater.
Just past the haze of her thinking, she thought she heard a sound, followed sejak feeling dirt land on her stomach. If she hadn't become so disoriented, she may have panicked for fear that the hole was about to cave in. She cringed as light slowly started to pierce her vision from the side.
"I found her! She's here!" she heard a voice say. She couldn't tell who it was, but she knew it sounded familiar.
Someone grabbed her around the shoulders and waist and gently started carrying her through an opening from the side of the foxhole. They moved about five atau six feet before sunlight flooded into view, along with figures that Marlene couldn't make out until her vision cleared. She was laid on the soft rumput and she moaned.
"Marlene? Marlene can anda hear me?" she heard that same voice say. Four figures towered over her and they slowly came into view. It was the penguins. Skipper and Kowalski were wearing headlamps.
"Skipper?" she rasped. All that time in thinning oxygen made it feel as if someone had placed a box on her chest that was three times her weight.
"Yes, it's me, Marlene," Skipper responded. "You're going to be okay. We're taking anda to HQ." He looked at Rico. "Give us a skateboard, Rico."
She heard Rico regurgitate what she assumed was Skipper's desired item. The penguins lifted her and placed her on the skateboard. Kowalski, Rico, and Private started pushing the skateboard as Skipper sat seterusnya to her, pulling her head up to his chest and holding her.
"I'm so sorry we couldn't get to anda sooner, Marlene. Kowalski was afraid we'd make the hole collapse on anda if we dug straight down, so we had to come in from the side. That made it harder to find anda because the foxhole was so small. I promise anda you'll be okay," he told her.
Marlene's mind slowly rose back to awareness as she took in lebih oxygen and she smiled up at him.
"It's okay, Skipper. I knew anda guys would save me," she said. "I do have a question."
"Um, okay," Skipper replied, wondering what she could be wanting to ask at a time like this. "What is it?"
"Do anda think Alice might find Cinta one day?" she asked.
Skipper blinked a couple of times and looked at his men in alarm. "Doubletime, men! Marlene's Lost lebih oxygen than we thought!"
Marlene laid against the dark, damp soil, nearly losing consciousness. The air was growing heavy, and her breathing was becoming labored. She'd been underground for almost an jam now, and was running out of oxygen. In the pitch black, she'd never felt lebih alone.
