The truck stopped to a grinding halt and Howler looked out see a boring stone building, the door opened and Howler fell asleep.
His eyes opened, he was surrounded by hay.
“Errrr, Hunter?” he whispered,
“Hunter!” He cried standing up full awake, they were in a stone grey building, full of hay with a barred door at one end. Hunter was sniffing around on the ground and Howler was breathing heavily stone still. Hunter came towards him with a look of worry and concern, she pushed her paw into him, he flinched and suddenly started running around the edge of the room, Hunter didn’t care and she started sniffing around again, but she stopped a second later when she heard some rustling in the hay. A heap of hay was moving, but this time Howler had stopped as well, they were both frozen to the spot. The tension became too tense then two green eyes popped up above the hay pile, Howler let out a howl of alarm and ran behind Hunter. Hunter, feeling like kicking Howler back, stopped her-self and walked bristly towards the pile of hay with two green eyes bobbing out the top of it. She walked up and brushed away the hay to reveal a young orange and black tiger.
“Hello?” Hunter asked him, backing off half afraid. The tiger came forward,

“Hello,” The tiger replied shyly,
“What’s your name?” Hunter asked him,
“Hider,” Hider replied, “who’s that?” he looked at Howler who was still in shock and running in a manic frenzy,
“That’s Howler,” Hunter told him “He’s a little scared of tigers.”
“Well I’m nothing to be afraid of,” Hider told him,
“Aren’t you?” Howler cried “It’s just, I was nearly killed by tigers.”
“I was nearly killed by wolves!” Hider said, and, before Howler could reply Hunter said,
“Calm down you two. Anyway, Hider where...” she was about to continue when the door opened and a man came in with a red bucket. He placed it on the floor are knelt down, Howler, Hunter and Hider didn’t move an inch, the man shook the bucket, they still didn’t move, there eyes were locked. Then the man gave up and left the room leaving the red bucket. Hunter blinked, turned to Hider and said,,
“Where are we?”
“In The Kenya Zoo why?” He replied,
“Zoo? Wha? Why? I have to escape.” Hunter cried, worried,
“WE, have to escape” Howler reminded her,
“Ok, lets all escape!” Hunter sounded like it was sarcasm, then she saw the look in Howler’s and Hider’s eyes. They are not amused “Ok here’s the plan” Hunter said as they got into a huddle.
