They tired and hungry, especially the lemurs who weren't used to walking so long.
Ma: "I'm beat. Can we stop for the night."
K: "Negative,"
The whole team was yawning. It was apparent they all needed rest.

---Factory---
It was dead silent for awhile.
P: "Help! Please some one!"
N: "I don't think anyone can hear bạn from in here, Private."
Private noticed Skipper groaning.
P: "Skipper, are bạn sure you're okay?"
S: "I have a major headache,"
N: "Wait, Skipper, did bạn say bạn were tired and dizzy before?"
S: "Yes, but why does that matter?"
N: "Did bạn get hit on your head?"
S: "Yeah, matter of fact I Mất tích count of how many times..."
Skipper started falling asleep.
N: "Private, keep him awake!"
Private looked puzzled, but did as his uncle told him.
N: "Skipper, bạn might have a concusion. That's why, even though it may be hard, bạn have to stay awake. Skipper nodded to hiển thị that he understood.
P: "Wh..what happens if he does fall asleep?"
N: "He could go into a coma."
Private gasped in horror.
S: "I'm sorry, Private."
P: "For what?"
S: "Everything, slapping you, calling bạn expendable and everthing else. I wasn't the best father to you."
P: "To me bạn are the best in the world. bạn know, we're like a family. Kowalski and rico are like big brothers to me and you're like my dad!"
S: "Private, do bạn remember the first time we met?'
P: "Well, um yes I was set here bởi my parents to train with you."
S: "There's thêm to it, Young Private..."
Skipper told Private the whole story about how he had saved the little soldier when he was just a chick. After he was finished Private was speechless.
P: "Wow, I didn't know bạn -"
R.S.: "Alright, time to desroy you! Whose going first?"
Skipper looked to Private.
S: "I tình yêu you, son."
He feebly stood up trying to be as Công chúa tóc xù as possible.
S: "Me,"
As the words escaped his mouth Private gasped.
P: "No, Skipper bạn can't!"
The red squirrel's mouth curled up into a diabolic grin, hiển thị his buck teeth that were as yellow as a bannanna. Skipper hugged his Private one last time. He whispered in his ear.
S: "When he opens the cage run! Don't hesitate and look back no matter what. I'll keep him distracted."
P; "No, I can't -"
S: "Yes bạn can Private don't ever say bạn can't"
P: "What about uncle Nigel?"
S: "Look tiếp theo to his cage to the left on the ground. It's out of his reach bởi an inch."
Private's eyes brightened, it was the key! Skipper noticed Private was still being troubled with the thought of leaving him.
S: "Don't worry about me, Private. I'll be okay, as long as you're safe."
The con sóc, sóc opened the cage and it worked as planned. Whenever he would make a di chuyển to capture Private, Skipper would kick him. Private released Nigel and they were about to make a break for it. Private stopped in his tracks as he saw Skipper tied up helplessly on the convare thắt lưng, vành đai used to destroy toys.
N: "Come on, Private we have to go,"
P: "But I can't. Uncle Nigel bạn go!"
Private pushed open the factory door.
N: "I'm not leaving without you."
P: "I don't want to put bạn in danger,"
N: "Private, I'm a secret agent danger is natural for me."

---The rescue---
As they walked the team saw a flash of brown race bởi them. It went bởi so fast they couldn't reconize who hoặc what it was.
R: "Wow,"
M: "I wonder what that was."
K: "It's not important right now. We need to keep going we're not even halfway there."
Little did they know that that would play an important role in the future. Kowalski had remembered how he had snapped at Julien earlier, and how hard it was to lead. He thought of Skipper,and how hard it must be to lead all the time and deal with the lemurs. A strong feeling of guilt swept over him. Skipper and Private did have their flaws but Kowalski and Rico cherished them both. They would do anything for their two friends.
