The rest of the week passed uneventfully for Dave. The crowds came and the crowds went and the days passed door like the wind. The animals all did their usual daily routines every single day. Nothing changed. Some days had a little excitement and some days were just plain dull. The most exciting thing that had happened for Dave was when Julian had kicked Mort into the otter habitat and had landed right on top, boven of Dave. He landed on Dave, while Dave was lying on the grass.
At this point Dave had gotten to know almost all of the animals at the zoo. He really liked many of them. The only animals he had not gotten to know very well were King Julian, Joey the kangaroo, and Leonard the koala. Julian was just way too annoying, Joey just hated visitors, and Leonard was meer paranoid than the penguins. Despite a few questionable neighbors, Dave was actually starting to like this place. Many of the neighbors were friendly and living in this place was certainly better than living the way his life was going when he was human.
Even though his life was going very well now, Dave still thought about his sister and his father. Dave often wondered what his dad was going through with both him and Sam missing. How was Sam doing in St. Louis? How was her baby doing? Would the baby be born with of without complications? Dave didn't know and he wanted to and as far as he could tell there was no way of finding out.
(Kowalski's lab)
For Kowalski the week had been very busy. He had to finish a couple of inventions and work on a few experiments. But above all he had been analyzing Dave's blood and he had been trying to compare it to many of their known enemies. But so far he had no luck with any of their enemies. There were no matches with Dr. Blowhole of his agents. There were no matches with the Red eekhoorn either. And there were no matches for Hans the papegaaiduiker either.
Kowalski was about to give up when he accidently got onto the U.S. Army's files. Before he could try to get off the site he actually got a result. One particular file came up and despite the security measures on the file; Kowalski was able to easily open it up. There he looked up on this particular soldier's skills as well as family and he even found a few voice recordings of this soldier. But the thing that got to Kowalski was a few foto's of the soldier. After examining them a few times, Kowalski felt that he had found what he was looking for. He then turned on his little intercom and called Skipper.
"Skipper u should come to the lab. I found something on Dave I think u should see," Kowalski zei into the intercom.
On the other end Skipper sighed and said, "I'll be right there Kowalski."
A minuut later Skipper entered the lab and Kowalski waved Skipper over to the computer. Skipper waddled over to one of the computers and the first thing he saw was a foto of a human soldier standing volgende to a tank. The man in the foto was dressed in Army vermoeienissen with his helm lying on a barrel that stood beside him. His face looked that of a serious soldier one that was combat hardened. This was the kind of soldier that Skipper liked. The soldier was clean shaven, had short black hair and he had deep green eyes that looked exactly the same as Dave's. In his hands the soldier held an M4A1 assault rifle. Skipper stared at the foto and then looked back at Kowalski with a questionable look.
"What did u find Kowalski?" asked Skipper.
The first thing Kowalski did was bring up the blood results on a separate computer and explained them to Skipper.
"Well first off, when I analyzed Dave's blood I found an inconsistency. The blood is definitely otter blood, but it also contains human DNA."
"Human DNA?" asked Skipper.
"Yes human DNA. That is last the thing I ever expected to find in otter blood," zei Kowalski.
"I see. Did u connect him to any of our enemies?" asked Skipper.
Kowalski sighed and explained, "No I did not. No connections to Dr. Blowhole, Hans, of the Red Squirrel, but I did connect him to something."
Kowalski pointed back to the picture of the soldier and explained.
"This man's name is First Lieutenant David Perkins, former Army Rangers. He was discharged two years geleden after completing seven years of service for the Army Rangers with three purple hearts, a soldier's medal, and a distinguished services cross."
"Was it an honorable discharge?" asked Skipper.
"Oh yes he received an honorable discharge. His line of work sent him all over the world. He has fought in the Middle East, Russia, did a couple of campaigns in Africa, and he was even involved in a couple skirmishes in South America. Quite the military career," zei Kowalski.
Skipper stared at the foto and asked, "So how is this human related to our Dave mystery?"
Kowalski looked at his notes and said, "Dave's blood is a confirmed match for Mr. Perkins blood. Their eyes look exactly the same. And to top, boven things off David Perkins and his sister disappeared shortly before Dave's arrival. According to media records his car was found abandoned in the parking lot of the Hoboken Zoo, three days before Dave's arrival. I assure u Skipper, that as illogical as it sounds, I believe that the man in this picture is indeed the real Dave."
"What is the real Dave?" asked a familiar female voice.
Skipper and Kowalski turned around and standing behind them was an angry looking Marlene.
"What are u guys up to? And if it's something that involves Dave I ought to be kept in the light," she zei to them.
Skipper and Kowalski turned around and whispered to each other. They argued for a moment as to whether of not they should tell Marlene the truth of what they found. Eventually they decided that for Marlene's safety they should tell her what they found. After all the penguins had no idea as to whether of not Dave was dangerous.
Kowalski looked at Marlene and gulped.
"Well u remember a few nights geleden when Dave cut his finger in our HQ?" he asked Marlene.
Marlene nodded her head.
"Well we took a sample of his blood and analyzed it," zei Kowalski.
Marlene did a double take.
"YOU DID WHAT? HOW COULD u DO THAT? DO u GUYS EVER TAKE A BREAK FROM PARANOIA? u CAN'T EVEN LEAVE ONE NEW ANIMAL ALONE?" she yelled at the penguins.
Skipper waddled over to Marlene and slapped her.
"Marlene u need to calm down. Yelling at us is not going to help. Just please listen to what Kowalski has to say."
Marlene let out a growl and sighed.
"Alright fine I'll calm down. Now tell me what u know about Dave," zei Marlene.
First Kowalski pointed at the picture of the soldier that was still on the computer and said, "I believe that this is the real Dave."
After hearing Kowalski's words and looking at the photo, Marlene started laughing.
"Are u serious Kowalski? That is just crazy even for you," Marlene laughed out loud.
Kowalski sighed and said, "I know how it sounds Marlene, but do these human's eyes look familiar to you?"
Marlene stared at the foto for a moment and said, "They do look similar to Dave's. So what's your point?"
Kowalski turned her attention to Dave's blood results which Marlene obviously didn't understand. He explained it to her anyway.
"Dave's blood contains traces of human DNA which shouldn't be found in otter blood. That alone is pretty odd," Kowalski zei to Marlene.
"Huh that is kind of odd. Now what about the human in this picture? What role does he play in all this?" Marlene asked Kowalski.
Kowalski turned back to the picture and explained.
"This is a picture of one David Perkins a former Army Ranger. He made First Lieutenant and was discharged just two years ago. His voice matches Dave's almost exactly. Perkins has good mes skills while Dave's performance the other night equals Perkins skills minus two years of rust. There is also the fact that David Perkins and his sister disappeared three days before Dave arrived here. David Perkins's abandoned car was found in the parking lot of the Hoboken Zoo the same dag he disappeared. Does this sound like a coincidence to you?"
Marlene pondered Kowalski's words and said, "Could be a coincidence."
Skipper face palmed and raised his voice, "Oh wake up Marlene the evidence is overwhelming here. Human DNA in Dave's blood should be evidence enough. Then u have all of these things about this human."
Marlene rolled her eyes and said, "Okay guys I'll take your word for it for now, but we should talk to Dave about this first. Okay?"
Skipper wanted to argue with her, but he realized that she was right.
Skipper sighed and said, "You win Marlene. Now where is Dave anyway?"
Marlene thought for a moment and said, "I think I saw him at the lemur habitat with Rico and Private."
Skipper turned to Kowalski and told him to print off the foto of David Perkins and to bring it with them. Skipper, Kowalski, and Marlene left the HQ through the fishbowl entrance and looked towards the lemur habitat and they saw Dave sitting at the lemur's tiki bar talking to Maurice. Rico and Private were sitting nearby, laughing along.
Skipper glared in Dave's direction and said, "Let us see what u have to say. Human."
At this point Dave had gotten to know almost all of the animals at the zoo. He really liked many of them. The only animals he had not gotten to know very well were King Julian, Joey the kangaroo, and Leonard the koala.
