Lost north wind ( prequel to penguins of Madagascar. oc )

Chapter 7

It was morning. Cass was sleeping peacefully on the warm sand went something is poking her.

Cass: Rick...give me 5 more minutes...

???: who's Rick?

Cass eyes shot open and looks at brad with a confuse look on him, causing Cass to worry.

Cass: [lie] m-my friend! From America...

Brad shrugs it off and walks off to make breakfast. Cass got up and walked over to brad.

Brad: are you okay?

Cass: yeah, I'm fine!

Brad sat down and looked at her with sadness.

Brad: do you wanna talk about it? Last night? I mean, if you don't wanna-

Cass: no! I'm okay talking about it. [ Cass sat down on a log next to brad ] I can't believe...he called me a defect...and a thing.

Brad: I know. I know what he said was wrong, but things will get better.

Cass: Every time I have been hurt before. There would be a Mark, and everyone would see it. [ tearing up] but this hurts so much emotionally...and everyone still sees it, but he can't.

Brad: I can see it

Cass: Doesn't matter, he doesn't care. I don't even care as well.

Brad: Cass, if something hurts this much, maybe it means you do care. Maybe it's something worth fighting for. I think you should talk to your career to sort out your relationship. Come on, let's eat.

They started fixing the ship by following the manual from the book all day, til suddenly Cass was inside the ship when she notice a beckon was flashing rid from the pilot room.

Cass: * why is that beckon flashing? *

Cass went outside to meet with brad who is finishing up with the wires.

Cass: Brad? Why is the beckon flashing from the pilot room?

Brad: oh! That is a stress beckon. It sends out team to find your location.

Cass: right? And how long have you had that on for?

Brad: a year.

Cass: [ shocked] a year and no one has found you or search for you?!

Brad: they have. Last year, I saw a north wind jet flying by when I put in a sos sign when lobsters jet messed up my sign. It was bad luck.

Cass: and they didn't search for you then?

Brad: no...but I keep my beckon on for anyone that comes and finds me.

Cass started to get concern about the north wind not finding brad. Feel that it's been over a year and they still haven't even find him from his stress beckon.

Cass: do the north wind always do this?

Brad: [ confuse] what do you mean?

Cass: what I mean is, do they not look for people who works for the north wind? Or was this the first time?

Brad: well It doesn't happen a lot, I mean we tried to get them back but...[ sigh] we have to do important things.

Cass: like what?

Brad: saving the world. Protect animals.

Cass: so the job is more important than looking for team members that has been missing for how long.
