Malana woke up to find she was in a glass cage  full of leaves. At first she thought it was the forest, that Mark and David had set her free, but she was wrong. They hadn't set her free, as much as Mark wanted to, he couldn't. Malana pranced about happily, still thinking she was in the forest, then she saw little children. Their faces were against the glass, Malana was terrified. She had never seen humans before, except from Mark and David. "Mummy, look at the kitty!" A little girl with pig tails exclaimed, pulling her mums arm to look at Malana.
"She's beautiful isn't she darling?" said the little girls mother. Now everyone was staring at Malana, she was the only White Tiger in the whole zoo.
"Come and see our new tigers! Kuna, Sika, Brandon and Diana!" shouted a man, the people were intrigued and went over to the next glass cage. Malana's ears pricked up, she had heard her family's names. She bounced over to the end of her glass cage and saw her family! Kuna instantly saw Malana and went to the end of his glass cage, soon the cubs bounded over. The people all gazed at them.
"Hey! Why aren't they in the same cage? They're soul mates!" a man shouted, the people mumbled and started saying the same thing.
"H-hang on, ladies and gentlemen." a man who worked at the zoo stammered. But the crowd wouldn't listen. "LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, PLEASE, CALM DOWN!" the man yelled, his face looked like a red tomato.    "No, we won't! Where do these animals come from?" asked a lady, staring at the man who worked at the zoo. His face had sweat pouring from it. "U-um, ma'am, that information is c-classified..." he stammered. The people began muttering and looking at the animals who were trapped in glass cages. Suddenly a lady spotted the sleeping dart in Malana's fur. "Sleeping darts..." she whispered. "LOOK AT THAT WHITE TIGERS FUR, THERE IS A SLEEPING DART STUCK IN IT! AND LOOK AT HER PAWS! THEY HAVE BEEN SLICED!" yelled the same lady. More people gathered and they all started yelling. Mark ran out and was shocked by the loud crowd.
"What's happening, Nathan?" asked Mark.
"These people are mad! I quit!!" he shouted and ran away. The people were even more angry as they were.
"Them poor animals, trapped!" exclaimed a man who was with his grand-children. "What kind of example are you setting for the little ones?!" he raged. Most of the little children were crying, extremely upset that the animals were wrongly in-prisoned. What was going to happen to the animals now?
