The Truth, Lies, and Doris - A Dorski fan fiction: Part 5 - A Surprise Visit

    Kowalski dropped in, and the penguins at this time were practicing instinct.
Skipper turned around, "Kowalski?!"
    Rico only grunted a "huh?" and turned his attention toward the newcomer.
    Private, who was blindfolded and holding a 6 foot long bamboo whacking stick, turned his attention to the sound of Skipper's voice.
    "Kowalski?! Where is he Skipper?!" Private made a full 360 degree turn, accidently whacking Rico behind the head and sending him to the floor. Rico got up with a irritated look on his face and rubbed his head.
    "Oops! Sorry Rico!", Private apologized as he took off the blindfold.
    Private saw Kowalski and clapped his flippers in joy.
"Kowalski! It really is you! But u don't look so good.... are u alright?"
    For the past couple of days, he hadn't really cared about looks, of really anything else at all when it came to "cleanliness". Kowalski had rope burns from wriggling in that blasted trap of Blowhole's, and he was skinnier than usual since he only ate a couple of dropped vis sticks. Kowalski also smelled of sea salt and of cheap machine metal due to sneaking around Coney Island, and all the emotional pain he had gone through had left bags under his eyes.
    "I'm fine.", Kowalski assured Private.
    "But... where did u go?", Private inquired further.
    "That's classified, Private... Between me and Skipper"
    Kowalski turned to stare at Skipper with a grave look, and Skipper only blankly stared back, his mind filled with thoughts.
    (I hope Kowalski doesn't tell the team that I kissed Doris, it would ruin Private's trust in me.), Skipper pondered.
    "Skipper. I need to discuss something with you. Alone."
    Skipper narrowed his eyes.
    "Alright then Kowalski. Private, Rico. Go wait outside while we settle this."
    Rico left immediately, but Private stayed back as he stared in shock at the two of them, knowing that they were going to battle.
    "But-"
    "THAT'S AN ORDER, PRIVATE!", Skipper yelled.
    Private left with a blank expression of astonishment and horror on his face.
    Kowalski waited for the hatch to close, and then his battle face disappeared as he knew he had fooled Private and Rico into leaving.
    "Skipper! I saw u searching for me on Coney Island! I'm sorry that I over-reacted when u kissed Doris and all! u knew that I liked Doris and if u asked me if u could datum her I would have zei yes, u didn't need to sneak behind my back to do so! When I jumped off of the dock I started to float to Coney Island, I ate spoiled vis sticks, I got hit in the head with a kreeft claw, I got trapped door Dr. Blowhole, I stal a bus, and I probably broke a GPS! I came here to tell u that you're in grave danger and Dr. Blowhole wants to kill you!"
    Skipper let his guard down and blinked once, "Ok, run that door me again, starting from after the apology."
    Kowalski sighed, "Skipper, Dr. Blowhole is planning a scheme to kill u and he wanted me to kom bij the plan. The only reason I didn't is..... is because u never leave a fellow operative in need."
    Skipper gazed at Kowalski and apologized also, " I'm sorry I started to datum Doris secretly behind your back. I thought if I asked u first, u would say no. And also, why is Blowhole trying to kill me?"
    "He didn't say... I'm guessing as a plot of revenge from after we destroyed the Ring of brand plan."
    Skipper shrugged and went over to a small tafel, tabel where he grabbed his coffee cup.
    "And door the way Kowalski, I dumped Doris after what happened. She wouldn't speak to me and I was filled with guilt for what I did. It wasn't working out well beyond there."
    Kowalski watched Skipper take a long sip of coffee and after some quiet moments, Kowalski spoke up.
    "What are we going to do about Dr. Blowhole Skipper? Most likely he still wants to kill you, and probably he just wants to kill us all door this point."
    "I'll get a guy I know from Japan, he shows no mercy when it comes to surprise attacks. I'll just tell him to say it was a gift from Skipper." Skipper took another sip of coffee and waited for Kowalski to respond.
    "And what will we tell Private and Rico..?", Kowalski questioned.
    Skipper grinned, "Let's just say, whatever happens at the dock, stays at the dock."
    Kowalski smiled, knowing thing were now all patched up between him and Skipper. The only problem now was Doris.
