screen. Just then he saw the breaking local news about an escaped lion and said to be dangerous on his 60 inch LED television.  

"Breaking news… a lion has escaped from the zoo, and is running loose in front of the Chancellor Hotel!" Jonny looked at the screen in shock, and a light came on in his head.

"Wait a minute; hold that thought. I have an Idea." With that, he hung up before turning to his servants. "Mike, get my limo. Doris, call the Mayor and tell him to call of animal control and the police until I arrive at the Chancellor. That lion might save my situation!" You'll see, Jonny had a lot of influence in that city, and was close friends with Mayor Edwin Lee; what he wanted, he usually got. The servants did as they were told, and Jonny grabbed his black leather jacket before heading out to his limo.

Back in San Francisco…………..

Kopa was terrified; he had nowhere to run, and had at least two-dozen guns aimed at him by disgruntled SFPD officers. Just before they were about to shoot, at him, the mayor's limo pulled up. Kopa looked up as soon as he heard the words, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot unless he looks like he's about to attack. Please, back away!" Then Jonny's limo soon rushed into the blockade. Kopa looked up to see a brown eyed human in a leather jacket step out of the limo. Jonny shook Mayor Lee's hand for the press photographers that hemmed in the scene, before turning to Kopa as he began to approach cautiously. For some reason Kopa felt something in his heart that he could trust the short human in the black Leather Jacket.

"It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to get you out." Jonny said
soothingly as he approached Kopa, hands raised up in a gesture of peace. Kopa
looked at the human incredulously, his head cocked to the side as he glanced
warily at the police nearby.

Jonny's driver stepped out of the limo, and looked down at the scene. "Jonny,
I think he's afraid of the police."

Jonny nodded, and turned to the mayor. "Mayor, disband all police. I think I can handle this." The cops looked at the mayor as if he was crazy, but nonetheless began vacating the scene, leaving only a few curious onlookers and photographers from the San Francisco Chronicle. The crowd and news crews were astonished to see the lion so calm as Jonny knelt down by him. After reassuring Kopa he could be trusted, Jonny turned to his driver. "Mike, call up Alfred's and have them whip up one of their steaks to go. Tell them it's for me.

"Yes sir." Mike responded before getting out his cell. Kopa heard the word
"steak" and immediately started to pant in hunger; he really liked steaks.
"Shall I get a cage sir?" Mike said, a little unnerved by the young lion.

"No I think we have an understanding. Come on get on the phone and take me and my guest to the restaurant then off to the east bay house in Walnut Creek".   Well come on I don’t have all day. "Yes sir." Mike had the door to the limo open.

"Yes sir." Mike had the door to the limo open, and Kopa jumped into the limo as soon Jonny motioned for him to enter. The crowds disbanded as the limo left, leaving only the photographer, reporters from the Chronicle, and the news crews from all the local San Francisco stations to cover the amazing story.

Chapter 6  Viva Las Vegas

 

The next Morning Kopa awoke in Jonny's giant family room with another Alfred's stake and fresh water in front of him. After devouring the meat and drinking the water he decided to look around the mansion.  Kopa wondered into the library were a maid was dusting books. She saw Kopa and started to scream. 

 

"Get away beast"! the maid was using her duster on him. Kopa looked at her with a confused look. Then Jonny came running in from hearing the screaming in.

 

Mrs. Cunningham don’t worry this is my new money maker; he he I'm keeping him for the time being until I get him permits for my Jonny Sands Casino in Vegas.

 

"Oh so what's his name?" Sally asked

 

Jonny looks at Kopa. Kopa smiles at him.

 

"Well he looks like he has compassion in him." The maid said

 

"Jonny snaps his fingers that’s it heart." Get the  Swahili dictionary for heart.

 

Mrs. Cunningham got the dictionary looks threw the pages. Heart means Kopa. The Maid says

 

Kopa I like it.  Kopas ears perked up to his Name and smiles.  Hugh I think he likes it too. Well then Kopa it is.

 

The phone rings. Mike comes in. Sir your wanted on the phone. Excuse me Mrs Cunningham keep Kopa occupied. "How?" I don’t know take him in the back yard and play fetch or something. Yes sir. Come on Kopa Mrs. Cunningham leads Kopa to the back yard.

"Ok Kopa uh let see." Mrs. Cunningham throws the duster that lands in the pool, Kopa tilts his head in confusion. Then Jonny comes out. Guess what Kopa I have your Nevada state permits. Unforntually you won't see me much any more. I may come and visit you in your new job. I have to have you sedated for transport though.

Jonny then called in a vet to anesthetize him.

The next thing Kopa knew was that he awoke the sound of Slot machines in the background.

All Kopa could see was a bunch of containers and swards and torches and mirrors used in magic shows

Kopa yawned "Where am I now?" 

"Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas."  A voice said. Kopa spun around to see a lion that looked similar to Tojo except for the eyes. 

"General Tojo is that you?" Kopa has been away so long and thought it was Tojo

Sorry I not know of this general Tojo you speak of. My name is Brasta Septum. But you can call me Brasta. My name is Kopa Lion but you can call me Kopa.

Oh almost forgot allow me to introduce my mate and partner Silvera. Smoke appeared and cleared and beige lioness with cobalt-blue eyes.   "Hello and welcome to our show. We hope you will make a fine addition to help us. Isn't that right sweetie. As the lioness padded to kiss her mate.  

Wow how did you do that? Kopa asked with big lights in his eyes.

I'll show ya since you will part of the show as well. Brasta said with a cheer in his voice.

Meanwhile back in the Pridlands.

Today Dotty was going to observe her grandmother Kamilli and then get some practice with her after the morning hunt. The hunting team captured two antelope this morning Tisa let Kamilli go from the team to be with here granddaughter. Dotty came out of hiding.

"Wow grandma that was amazing you guys sure cornered the antelope perfectly. I liked how you pursued at such speed." Dotty said

"Thank you Dotty. Now that you observed today we are going to practice your running pounce technique. Now you see that log lets pretend that it was the antelope and the signal has been given for us to run and take down the target. Lets see what you learned from observation.

The young teenager did what she was told and preformed what she remembered from observation. 

Good Job honey. Now we are going to practice the timing on when to spring the claws. Dotty sprung her claws. Let me demonstrate.

Kamilli was backing up and about to show the demonstration when her ear twitched she spun around and saw a pack of elephants walking in the distance. Kamilli froze as she remembered the loss of her daughter Kiara and her last conversation with her during Scars horrific rain. A tear went down her eye.

Dotty noticed her grandmother was frozen. Dotty pads over to her.

Grandma what's wrong?

Its……….Nothing child. Life is so presses don’t you ever forget that. Dotty give your grandma a hug.

"Grandma I don't understand?" 

You will understand when you have children one day. The two hugged for a while Kamilli was trying to conceal herself from sadness.

"Lets take a break Dotty."

The two of them walked to the watering hole were Nala was swimming.

Good afternoon your majesty. Dotty said and curtsied 

Good afternoon Dotty and Kamilli. Nala cheerfully said as she walked out of the lake.

How's your mom? Kamilli asked

"Fine I think?" I just hope she isn't drunk or having any hangovers today Nala rolls her eyes.

"Grandma what's a hangover?" Dotty asked.

"Something you don’t want dear." 

So how is Kiara doing? asked Kamilli 

"She's fine she is such a rebellious kid though. Always curious and getting into trouble."   

Ha, Ha. Ha, Kamilli went

"What?"

"Nala don’t you see?" "She is just like what you and Simba used to be when you guys were her age. I remember the time when two of you were sneaking out past your bed time to either explore or star gaze."

"You knew that? Of cores honey we all of did. You two were not that sneaky as you thought you were. I am sure your mom remembers as well."

Just then Birdie flew in. "Excuse me your highness the evening hunts are starting but your mother seems to be missing. They need someone to lead."

Nala frustrated. "Oh mother damnit I told her time and time again." Grumbling in a low tone.

Nala left to find her mother who happened to have a hangover from drinking.
