At the zoo, a guy was typing on his phone with two kids standing outside the tiger den...

He threw something at the tiger, and he roared quietly.

"What are you doing?" Sean asked.

"We can't see the tigers, Uncle Sean."

"They're hiding behind the tree."

"All right, hang on." Sean said, picking something up and throwing it at the tiger.

The tiger growled. Sean threw something else, and a woman saw him doing it.

"Did... did you just throw something? You're not supposed to taunt the animals." She said.

"We're not. My nephew's just trying to get a picture, that's all. Uh, come on, I've got to take a leak." Sean tells them.

Sean was using the toilet when he suddenly heard people screaming.

"Hey! Hey, what happened? What happened?! Boys?!"

Sean slowly turned around, hearing a tiger growling not far from him.

Sean slowly went into his pocket, taking out his phone.

Abby: "911. What's your emergency?"

Abby's eyes widened, hearing the tiger roaring in the background.

Sean: "He's, uh... he's just staring at me. He won't take his eyes off me. It's... it's like he's... it's like he's studying me. This isn't good."

Abby: "Zoo security's been alerted. They're on their way to you now."

Sean: "Now's not gonna be soon enough, okay? I've been on safari; I know how fast this thing can move."

Abby: "Sean, I'm being told your best course is to remain very still."

Sean lowered his hand, turning around and running away from it. The tiger chased after him.

Abby: "Sean, tell me what's happening."

Sean climbed over a fence just as the tiger appeared at the cage.

Sean: "I made it. I'm in the, uh... the flamingo thing. Tell the zoo security I'm in the flamingo thing."

Ashleigh and the firefighters arrived on the scene, and Ashleigh walked beside a worker...

"Where's the tiger now?" Ashleigh asked.

"East side of the park. Nowhere near where we're going. He's got a visitor pinned. Shoot team's en route now."

"You're not gonna shoot him, are you? That's not right." Ashleigh muttered.

Buck stared down at the ground; he hadn't had a moment to speak to Ashleigh about the appointment.

"Isn't it protocol to tranquillise him first if it's possible, of course? How the hell did the tiger escape in the first place?" Asked Ashleigh.
