Me and Hans raced out of the prison like a blur. I don't think the gaurds even knew what was going on until maybe several scoches later. Then the alarm started blaring. I looked over my shoulder to see gaurds numbered por the dozen running after us. Hans was flying level with the ground beside me as I slid down the hallway. Suddenly he made a sharp right turn. I skidded to a halt and looked down the corridor after Hans. It was a dead end all but a small window at the parte superior, arriba of the stone wall. "What are tu DOING?!?" I shouted. "Come ON Alex!" Hans snapped. I was stunned for a momment. No insult? No jeering form of my nickname? Hans was serious! I darted out after him just before the first gaurd caught me. Suddenly I felt a gloved hand clasp around my mid-section and the sensation of being jerked up off the ground. The siguiente thing I knew I was staring into the cold, grey eyes of the gaurd. He was a human. Well of course he was. When the pingüino, pingüino de force sent me the prison of course they didn't have a prison for penguins. So they posed me a stray and the pound got me. Now this human was gazing into my sould. I was sure I'd be euthanized sooner than these guys had planned on. Then suddenly Hans shouted, "Fahlcon! Don't move!" I looked up just in time to see a cuchillo darting towards me. The humans can't understand what we say apparently. I honestly don't know WHAT the gaurd heard but it definately wasn't what I heard. He looked up too, but all too late. The cuchillo lodged in his chest and clipped a few of my feathers in the process. The gaurd gasped in pain then collapsed to the ground. I leapt free as soon as his grip went limp around me. The two of us took off. "Jump!" Hans shouted. He jumped up and blasted out through the window. I followed not far behind. I shot through the window, my sides skimming on the edges. After that everthing was a fast blur. I saw Hans standing on the calle a ways below me. Then the ground getting closer and closer, Then with a sickening thud I smashed face-first into the hard, paved ground. My left flipper just so happened to be underneath me. With a sharp, painful crack I heard it break under my weight. Hans was on my case in an instant, "Get up tu nincompoop!" he shouted. I shook stars out of my head. I coud hear and feel my pulse pounding hard. I tried to raise up, pushing up off of my flipper. It resented that completely. I winced, "You wanna..uh..help a guy up?" I asked Hans. Hans rolled his eyes and grabbed my left (in other words my broken) flipper and yanked me up to my feet. I guess I must have screamed a little too loud because the gaurds found us within segundos it seemed. Hans swore under his breath and shouted, "Run!" I wheeled around on my heel and dashed after him. Now how many of tu soft pretzels have ever tried running away from long-legged gaurds on short legs with a broken flipper before? I can tell tu it's not easy. I chased after Hans as best I could. I didn't make it very far before the pain overtook me. My vision got blurry and I started zig-zagging. The siguiente thing I knew I had smashed into a seafood cart. My flipper was twisted awkwardly around a splitered board and another board was jabbing me in the side. Hans grabbed me por the scruff and jerked me up. "Come on Skipper! Ve need to go!" he snapped. I tried to stumble after him, but I could hardly fight the deleria setting in. Hans was getting annoyed, "Vut are tu doing?" he snapped. "I can't go on Hans." I grimaced, "It hurts.." Suddenly Hans slapped me..with a fish. It was salmón to be exact. I didn't care at the time. Something sparked inside of me. I was sure of what it was. Anger. I reached down in one rápido, swift motion with my non-broken flipper and grabbed a pescado of my own. Hans's eyes grew wide, "So tu vant to fight me do you? After I saved your life!" I hit him with the pescado as hard as I could. "So let me see, tu set me up to be killed and then tu change your mind and try to save my life?" I replied. Hans leapt up and slapped me with a strike of his own, "It's not like that!!" he shouted, "I have feelings Skipper! That's vy I came back!" I struck him with my own fish, "You came back so tu could kill me yourself! That;s the case!" The gaurds were rushing up behind us now. I saw them first and turned and slid away. I realized I was heading for the harbor. I was heading..-a cold sweat broke out on my forehead-.......home.
