Chaney started reading the morning paper. Evelyn just sat at her desk. Trevor's phone rung. He answered it. It was Mr. Joey Goldwing. He was returning Haast's call from last night. Joey said;

"Sorry to be out of town," he continued, "I'm sorry for the late reply. Lucas, my zoo Director phoned me last night about the attack at my zoo. How is ... Mary Fertile?"
"Her spirit's enduring, in her condition," Trevor answered calmly.
Joey uttered, "That's fantastic! I pray for the best, for her."

After all, Joey Goldwing wasn't at fault, neither were his zookeepers, or we're they? Was this incident to be recorded as an attack or a human error? If the black lion wasn't at fault then neither was the zoo. Joey told Trevor, "I'll be back in town by the end of this week,"

"Uh, I have questions, I'll ask you over the phone then," Trevor said, "We still don't know exactly what happened. There was a ladder leaning against the bars outside the exhibit, and the gate to it was locked, leaving Mary Fertile injured inside. Now apparently, Mary climbed from the ladder into its tree, then evidently fell, which was followed by the attack. When we entered to get her - there was no animal. We think it escaped, but Lucas believes someone abducted it, simply because the gate door was ajar and the fact that lions are not capable of climbing trees. When we searched the perimeter and the outer city, we found nothing despite the fact, we heard him roar. No one but Mary was there, and of course, now she can't talk. Your keepers left for dinner. When they came back Lucas phoned the police and then you. We've arrived within ten minutes and found nothing but Mary. So as you can see, we have a mystery. My first question is, do you have any idea who could have taken this predator?"  
"No," said Joey, "Of course not."
"Okay. What do you know about this lion?"

Trevor was distracted by Chaney's cell phone. It started ringing, then Chaney grabbed it and took it out the room.    

Joey uttered a sound of stress. "What do you mean?"
"Like the fact the lion's black and that his Bio seems to contradict itself! It says he's from Africa, but, he's living in an Asian habitat. Again, the fact that Lucas said it's a black lion! and yet its bio doesn't even say anything about it being black. That zoo sounds like a Circus!"
Joey paused for a moment, then said, "There used to be two lions. Male and female. A few days ago, Lucas phoned me and said, the male had killed the female. I don't know, I wasn't there. I didn't see them. But maybe this bio was written about that lioness."

A lion killed a lioness, the words and imagery kept replaying in Trevor's mind. Its been a while since Trevor studied wildlife in high school, now he forgot it like his 20 year old Spanish. Still, even now, such behavior didn't make sense for a lion, or any other animal in the position to breed.  

Trevor scratched his head, "Okay, so you didn't know about there there being a black lion at this Hollywood zoo? Would it be too hard to explain to me, how these lions got there, or where's the lioness corpse?"

Lucas did tell him that there was a lot of things about the zoo that didn't make sense. The fact that he saw camera equipment in the back closet showed Trevor that someone wanted this news, regarding a black lion, to be sent or spread.
