They'd run for hours on end, just to escape everything. The two had managed to make it to the now closed zoo, it being 3:47am. Y/n rushed to the staff entry of the zoo, pounding on the barred door that led to the inside of the staff sanctum.
"Ohhh!! come on, you stupid thing!"
Y/n yelled, aggressively penetrating the door with her keys and they jangled around loudly in her shaking hand.
"Y/n, please don't worry. We've lost them and the Zoo is super secure. Look at me."
Mort forced Y/n's dainty shoulders and pulled them towards him. She looked up, wistfully, into his sparkling but bloodshot yellow orbs, eyes that told a million stories with just one look. Y/n took a deep breath as she looked away from Mort, becoming a blushing mess. Mort brought one of his hands to her cold cheek, gently bringing it forward. He plant a short but passionate kiss on her cold and quivering lips.
"M-Mort.. I'm freezing. Can.. can you... jump in..? Like.. jump the g-gate?"
Y/n rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly, breaking the kiss she everlonged for. They both wanted it, but they were wanted, dead or alive, so it wasn't the right time or place, really.
Mort nodded, gently grabbing Y/n as if she was weightless and placing her on his broad back.
"Hold on tight, baby girl."
Mort pounced atop the barred fencing that was strewn evenly along the the Zoo, blocking out intruders. Y/n tightly grasped into Morts thick fur, securing a safe spot on his table-of-a-back that she was straddled upon.
They made it across in one piece, Mort shortly after bringing Y/n down from his back, so she didn't fall almost 7 feet; due to his height, of course.
"Thanks.. my stupid fucking keys just-"
"It's ok, Y/n. You've done more than enough tonight. Please. How about we go to the Care & Aid centre and talk about it? Or we can sleep. I heard it through the grapevine that my chest is pretty comfy."
"I- um.. alright. Thanks, for being so understanding... after Alvin told you what- yeah. You know. I really am sorry.. But I think I'm happy sleeping in one of the beds they have there."
Y/n replied, almost dozing off while starting to make soft tracks towards the Care & Aid centre. No one would find them there, so they knew they were safe, for now at least. Y/n could resume her job at the zoo tomorrow and not go back home. They'd probably just go and stay in a hotel for a bit. Yes, Y/n was taking Mort with her.

They'd both made it to the Care & Aid centre, but made a bad realisation.
"Morty?"
"Yeah, honeybuns?"
"My keys. I must've dropped them when you scaled the fence, and we can't go back because the sirens and- ugh. We can't get in."
"Oh, shit. Baby, how about we go back to the lemur enclosure? It's only a five and a half minute walk from here, and I have a bed and separate section for us."
"Good idea Morty, thanks. My head really isn't screwed on right now."
Y/n lightly chuckled as Mort walked over and ruffled her already messy hair in a playful manner, before they started heading off towards the lemurs enclosure. They had to be quiet getting around the Zoo as all the animals were asleep and could awake any second. Though Y/n knew the Zoo like the back of her hand, it was very dark so she grabbed a map from a map point at the Care & Aid centre.
"Morts, can ya read that?"
Y/n asked, putting up the map to the light that shone above them.
"Uh... mmm.. yup! We just have to go along the path then make a sharp left. Make it past the meerkats, then the horse stables, the penguin enclosure and there should be the lemurs."
"Alrighty! Thanks my Morty."
Y/n said in a whisper yell, as they slowly headed towards the lemurs in the direction that Mort had lead them.
They'd made their way past the meerkats safely, as all of them stayed in their burrows and fell asleep in their little families. The horse stables weren't much different, as Jorge, Juan, Juliet and Davide (the horses) were all soundly asleep in their small sheds. They were making there way past the penguins enclosure where Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico resided. Y/n had always speculated they were up to no good, and always saw them making all sorts of weapons out of the corner of her eyes. They tiptoed past, but Mort accidentally stepped on a loud branch, which made a massive CRACK noise. The two looked at each other in shock. No one had woken up, phew, but just then, a slight sound was heard from the enclosure right next to them.
"This is Skipper, I repeat, this is Skipper. We got 'em, boys. Operation K.J has commenced. Smile and wave boys, smile and wave."
