The agents surfaced under a dock, Napoleon sputtering water from his lungs. “Did you have to push me in? I wasn’t ready.”

“It was either get into the river or shot. I thought you would prefer the water than a bullet in the back,” Illya started shaking his hair with droplets hitting Napoleon in the face.

“Aren’t I wet enough? Stop it,” looking around he continued. “You realize we’re surrounded.” A squawking sound called their attention to the brown Pelicans standing above them on the dock.

“They are not dangerous unless we threaten their nest so don’t worry,” Illya explained just as the sound changed to a loud popping sound as the birds became to snap their bills together making a loud popping sound that resonated in their throat pouch.

“Why are they making that sound now?” Napoleon asked as Illya yelled.

“There must be a nest around here. Move it. They aren’t friendly to those who disturb their nest.”

Napoleon began swimming quickly, “It’s not bad enough we have a group of thrushes after us now we have pelicans too.” He complained as they moved further downstream.
