Unfortunately, her only ally is Rashid Haleem, the zoo's notoriously grumpy head of security, who would rather work alone.
As they navigate escaped predators, infected animals, and desperate survivors, they discover that the outbreak was no accident.

TITLE "They Broke Her First"
TITLE "They Broke Her First" SUMMARY: Marinette Dupain-Cheng was the girl everyone trusted-until the day no one did. A lie. A setup. A moment that destroyed everything. Her best friend turned her back. Her class watched it happen. And the boy she loved chose silence over truth. Expelled, humiliated, and abandoned, Marinette disappears from Paris without a word. But people don't realize something important about breaking someone- Sometimes... they don't stay broken. Months later, she returns. Colder. Sharper. Untouchable. And this time? She's not the one being hurt. As guilt turns into obsession and regret turns into desperation, the same people who destroyed her begin to realize the truth too late- Marinette isn't theirs anymore. And she never will be againComplete
Trinetra
Excerpt I got a peace offering. And Ice cream. The message popped up again. His Bhaiyu was making it hard to ignore. Darwaza khol, yaar. Mogambo uth jayenge. Ansh glared at the French windows. Even desperate his Bhaiyu would not quit the name calling. Shall I leave? Ansh did not respond. Okay! Leaving the ice-cream outside. Take it before it melts. Ansh did not respond, but his heart skipped a beat. He wanted to meet his Bhaiyu. He was even a little desperate, but he did not wish to give in so soon. So, he counted until 100 and then slowly made his way outside. Iris hopped down from the bed and followed behind him. Ansh opened the doors with a big heart only to find a basket filled with dumb yellow smile squishes and a big tub of ice-cream in between. A few CD's were tucked into the basket almost as an afterthought. The game CD's that Ansh wanted. Ansh glared at the basket. "Do minute nahi rukh saktey they kya?" He muttered under his breath. "You made me wait 17 minutes, kidoo" A voice whispered in his ears. Ansh almost screamed but Nirbhay's palm closed around his mouth before any sound could slip. Ansh's heart thudded in his chest. His Bahiyu had almost given him a heart attack. Nirabhay grabbed the basket and slipped inside with Ansh, and shut the door behind him.
