Jonny asked.
"Yes and if my fears are correct Kopa may be back in Kenya now and in danger," Daniel explained.
"Jonny sighed heavily. I can't allow that to happen.
"Me neither dad," Reid said seriously.
Daniel looks at his son and sighed.
"You are aware of my Sons gift! It is interesting and amazing. Jonny I think you will need Reid's help if you are planning to find out what happened to Kopa and try to stop those poachers in Africa."
"Well…."
"Jonny I may not like it and I'm sure my wife is not willing to approve of this but I feel that Reid must come with you as he has the gift and will be able to help.
"Alright." Reid will be under my care until he comes home.
"What about me?" Brett asked and gave his dad puppy dog eyes.
"Sigh" You can go with Reid and Jonny"
"YAY!" The thirteen year old year old screamed. People stared at the table when he did that.
"Okay then Reid make sure he says under control," Daniel ordered.
"Great nice doing business with……….you" As Jonny reached to shake Daniels hands. Daniel looked at him with a wired look.
"Oh I'm sorry I'm so used to be making business deals so much that its becomes a habit of mine and I forgot my social senses." Jonny said
"That's OK Jonny I'm somewhat an entrepreneur myself. I know how to talk shop. And in a way you are agreeing to take my children under your wing temporally so it's sort of a business deal," Daniel said.
"Very good"
"Does someone want to take me to the restroom?" Brett asked. Everyone at the table stared at him.
"Alright then. Tomorrow morning I will pick you guys up at the…..Hilton Financial District near China Town," Reid Interrupted.
So as it was the next morning Jonnies Limo was waiting in front while Reid and Brett said goodbye to there dad.
"To the danger zone," Brett said.
The three were head bobbing to danger zone all the way to SFO as the limo pulled up to smaller strip at the airport to Jonny's privet jet. The first stop was the LA zoo to talk to the administrator.
The administrator didn't know how it happened. The three walked around the zoo and wound up at the lions habitat. Reid had spoken to Lionel and Cookie about Kopa and they told him that two men and a woman got him out. A man with a snack stand uniform grabbed Kopa while the female Doctor used chloroform on a trainer while the guard kept watch.
"Hmm Jonny said. Interesting lets see if we can find this guard but first lets have some lunch. I want American food Brett said.
The trio walked to the American snack stand and heard "yes sir yes sir anything you say sir." In the back
Steve went up to the window.
"Next!"
Chapter 16 Getting Together
"Yes we would like 3 Cheeseburgers, two fries and 3 sodas and some information Jonny slips a 100 dollar bill to Steve who was at the counter. Steve's eyes widen.
"What type of information?" Steve asked.
"We're wondering if you knew anything about the Mysterious disappearance of the lion Kopa" Jonny asked Steve took the 100 and slipped it in is his pocket.
"Come with me." Steve told his other co-workers he was taking his break.
"What about my Cheeseburger?" Brett asked.
Reid sighed in disgust, went to another window, and bought cheeseburgers for him and his brother so he wouldn't complain.
Steve went around the Stand to meet Jonny and the group.
"Anyway a week after I sold him to the Zoo I find out Kopa's gone back to Africa," Jonny continued.
"Well…………...My friends and I stole Kopa and sent him back home to Africa where he belongs."
"Unfortunately as soon after you sent Kopa back there were some poachers that were not far behind and may be hunting illegal game. Jonny said.
"We fear that Kopa may be in danger and may lead the poachers unknowingly to hunt illegal game," Reid chimed in.
"That's awful," Steve responded. Then Alan the security guard showed up.
"Hey Steve, what's happening man?" Alan cheerfully greeted his best friend.
"Alan my man" Steve gave his friend a handshake five greeting. Um ……………Remember that Lion we stole?
"Yeah what about him?"
"Well these three gentleman inform me that the lion may be in danger and they believe poachers have seen us and may have set up an expedition to hunt illegal game."
"Shit we better get Barry in on this right away." Alan responded.
"This way gentlemen" Steve said. Then Dr. Jennarei approached the group."
"Steve, Alan, nice to see you guys."
"Ah doctor we were looking for you as well. You see these gentlemen wanted to know about Kopa and I told them. They told me some distasteful news," Steve said.
Nichol's mouth dropped "Really?" What it is it?"
"Well come on let's get Barry and hear all that they have to say," Alan said.
The six of them went to the South America snack Stand to find Barry who was stealing a sign that was part of the stand. Then he saw the group arrive and hid the sign in a bush.
"Hola guys what brings all of you here?" Barry asked
"Barry these guys know about us stealing Kopa and sending him back to Africa," Steve said.
"Oh really?"
"Let me explain," Reid said. Reid explained the entire situation to Barry and the group.
"Then will all pull together and try to stop the poachers." Barry said.
"We may need some animal help, "Reid predicted.
"Well I still own Brasta and Siveria that live with Hooewy my former magician. Johnny said.
"We still need one more animal I think," Nichol said.
"How about a wolf?" Brett asked.
"When we stop in Miami for fuel. I can talk to the administrator of the Miami Zoo if they will let us borrow a wolf or I can buy one. Jonny said
"That will work." Alan said.
"Jonny you can't buy everything in life," Brett said.
"Be quiet moron," Reid said as he held the screaming Brett above the jaguar cage next to the Snack Stand. Brett submittingly agreed.
"So it's agreed then were all in this together and will try to stop these poachers," Steve said as he was cleaning his glasses.
"I will compensate for anyone who gets docked pay and get you jobs if you don’t have one when you guys return." Jonny said.
"Sounds fair. Let me get my medical kit for both humans and animals." Nichol said.
"Excellent we will depart tomorrow morning for Las Vegas then Miami. But right now let's enjoy tonight and relax before the big trip," Jonny said
Everyone agreed.
Back in the pride lands
Today Kiara and Kovu were learning how to be monarchs by Simba by teaching them negotiation skills between other animals. Today it was a dispute between the Chimps and the orangutans.
"Now the best way to deal with animal disputes is to be calm and collected," Simba whispered to the couple as they were walking towards the quarreling apes.
"Got it Daddy."
"I understand Simba" Kovu said.
As they got closer the chimps were about to fight.
"Break it up Break it up," yelled Simba
"Your majesty tell these Orange idiots to leave our tree ants alone," The Chimp leader said.
"Take that back you short, brown, imbeciles!" an orangutan retorted.
The chimp mocked the orangutan.
"That's enough monkey!" Kiara yelled.
"Who the hell are you Lioness?" the chimp rudely asked. Kiara made that Excuse me face who the hell are you look.
"Excuse me? Simba and Kiara both said
"That's my Daughter and your future Queen," Simba spat." Now apologies to her or I will have you banished from my land."
"I am deeply sorry your highness." It wont happen again princess. The Chimp said
"Make sure that it doesn't" Kiara spat viciously.
"Your Majesties can get to hand on the issue of the tree ants." An orangutan asked
"Well then My question is which one of you apes was at this tree first?' Simba asked
"We were your highness," the orangutan said
"Then you Chimps must find another tree to eat ants or find a different source of food."
"But Your Majesty these ants are the only type in the Pridelands that we can eat hear. Red ants won't do cause their poisonous to us," The Chimp leader said.
"Then change your diet or share with the orangutan." Kovu suggested
"And how do you suppose we share with those chimps?"
"Daddy May I make a suggestion?"
"Go ahead Kiara."
"How about you Chimps have the ants in the morning while you orangutans have a go in the early evening."
"That might work." said an Orangutan
"Yes your daughter is right we can eat here in the morning while they eat at night and no one will bother each other."
"I like that Idea Kiara" Kovu chimed in"
Simba gave a look of approval.
"Very well then it is settled." Anything else?"
"No not that we know of," both groups said.
" Very Good then."
"Thank your Majesty's," both groups said and bowed before
