You dusted your hands off, watching Red run over to you because you put food in his bowl. The giant lion didn't mind you as he ate, letting you crouch down next to him and let your hand rest against his mane. You chuckled, almost hearing a purr come from the giant lion. You smiled to yourself, admiring the beauty in front of you. You stood up, giving Red a little pat on his head and then walking to the gate to leave the habitat. Your hours should be done since you already spent most of the day with Red and grooming him.

You left the enclosure, leaving the employees' only room and dusting yourself off. You're gonna have to see Red tomorrow again and try to get him ready for the new baby lion that's coming soon. Your boss told you that you're going to raise another lion, but this time it's going to be a female. You realize that if there were to be another male, it'll be a competition between Red and the male trying to take the pride. You're not sure how Red's attitude is with other lions, but you'll find out when the new baby lion is coming.

You already changed into your casual clothes and waited outside the zoo for your ride. Bokuto is coming to pick you up since he had an early shift at work. You looked up to the sky, admiring the sunset and enjoying the soft breeze against your skin. You heard the honking of a car and you turned your head to noise, seeing Bokuto's jeep. Bokuto drove up to you, and you gave him a small smile. You got into the car, giving Bokuto a hug.

"How was your day?" Bokuto questioned, putting the jeep back into drive and leaving the parking lot.

"Wonderful! Red was cute and I'm going to raise another lion! I'm so excited!" You said happily, almost bouncing in your seat. Bokuto smiled, glancing out the side of his eyes to see your expression and he kept his eyes on the road. "I feel content that I have something to look forward to which is Red. I can also name the new baby lion."

"When are you getting the lion?" Bokuto asked, you tilted your head to the side. Your boss didn't say the exact date, but it is soon.

"I'm not sure, but it's soon. That's all I know," you confessed, shrugging your shoulders. "How did your day go, Kou?"

"Nothing exciting like yours really, but I did get to bug Daichi a little," Bokuto laughed, you chuckled with him. Bokuto turned his head towards you, flashing a bright smile and you noticed a bright light coming closer to the jeep. Your eyes widen, realizing that light is a car coming straight towards the jeep.

"Kou---!" Your scream was cut off, the car ramming into the jeep.

3rd POV

  The Jeep flipped onto its back, the wheels facing up, the glass windows broken and on the ground. Bokuto knocked unconscious from the hit from the other car. A cut on Bokuto's temple and bleeding, his nose bleeding as well and luckily he had his seat belt on. [Name], unconscious as well, the side of her head bleeding and her hands bleeding as well. The crash was nothing pretty, but the other car was in normal condition besides the indent on the front.

Men in black suits quickly left the car, running over to the Jeep and going to the passenger side. They quickly got [Name] out her seat, her body falling to the ground and getting cuts from the glass. One of the men grabbed her and went back to their car, throwing her in the back seat. Once the men returned to the car, they quickly left the scene. Bokuto still stuck in his car and unconscious.

***

Bokuto let out a groan, his eyes slowly opening and he notice the world upside down. He quickly looked to the passenger seat, noticing that [Name] is gone. Bokuto's eyes widen, he unbuckle his seat and he immediately hit the floor. Bokuto groaned in pain, opening his door and crawling on his knees out the car. Bokuto sat on his knees, putting a hand to his head and he looked frantically around. "[Name]! [Name]!" A part of Bokuto knew that yelling out her name is pointless, but he just hopes she'll answer back.
