Adventures with Alexandra L. Ocklocknee book #1

Chapter 6

The poachers climbed out of the cage. As they were trying to figure out how to get out of the cave, Floyd and I had just found the animals. And since I still had the machete with me, I just decided to brake all of the locks. We were amazed at all of the different types of animals. There were parrots, monkeys, crocodiles, rabbits, and even bears. As we cut all of the locks, the poachers had just found footholds in the rock walls of the cave. Since they were experienced climbers, they just climbed right out of the still-open trap door of the cave.
As the poachers trekked through the rainforest to their boat on the other side of the island, Floyd and I were scheming. We had called for the cops before we made the bargain with the poachers, so that wasn't lying, right? Oh well. A spy's gotta do what a spy's gotta do to get the job done. We had almost finished letting the animals go when the cops showed up on their motorboats. We led the police to the cave. But to our surprise, the poachers weren't there! Luckily, the policemen had brought their police dogs with them. We allowed the dogs to sniff the cage that the poachers had previously been in to get their scent. Then off we went following the poachers tracks.

  The poachers had stopped by what I assume was another camp to grab more animals. They had just finished loading the boats and were cranking the motor as we arrived. "Stop in the name of the law!" Yelled a police officer. Another drew an gun. The third got his handcuffs ready. But the poachers kept cranking. The policemen with the gun was about ready to fire, but then he saw something that made him change his mind. The boat took off into the water. Tut-tut-dut-putter went the boat. And then, one of the alligators Floyd and I had let go swam and actually grabbed on to the back of the boat! And then out of nowhere popped it's friends. They all grabbed on and somehow managed to drag the boat back to shore. The policemen made quick work of handcuffing the poachers and Floyd and I released the animals. The poachers were sent of to jail. And I had found my new code name: animallover2015. I can't wait to see you next time... But that is another adventure.
