The girls were driven to the main office of the park and told to wait. The sanctuary manager had been called and was on his way to interview them. Bindi felt sure that when he heard what they had to say, this misunderstanding would quickly be cleared up.

In the meantime, all they could do was sit down and wait. Bindi saw Hannah stifle a yawn. A moment later Bindi was holding back a yawn of her own, and then Hannah started up again. Yawning was totally contagious and it was now about 4:30 a.m. They hadn’t got quite as much sleep as they’d planned and the office wasn’t very interesting. It was very bare apart from a large poster of a majestic giant sable antelope that dominated the room. Bindi had never seen one before and marveled at the power of the animal. It had beautiful shiny eyes, a muscular body, and long, sharp horns. She had read that the horns could grow almost as long as 5 feet. She shuddered at the thought of anyone wanting to harm such a beautiful creature.

The door burst open. In walked a well-dressed, efficient-looking man. He studied the girls. “I’m Brian Danbury. I’m in charge here.”

“Thank goodness!” cried Bindi. “Can you please call our mums? We haven’t done anything wrong.”

“Is that so?” Brian towered over them looking unfriendly.

“We told your staff over and over again what happened. We’re not making this up!”

Brian sneered. “And yet all the evidence points to you two girls being up to no good. Until you come up with the names of your accomplices, you can spend a bit more time cooped up in here. How does that sound?”

“We’ve told you, we interrupted the men trying to break in. We’re not with them!” said Bindi.

Brian stared her down, tapping a foot impatiently.

Bindi decided to change tack. She crossed her arms and adopted her most stern face. “This is totally unfair. When my mum finds out you’ve kept us here against our will, she’ll be really mad.”

Brian pulled a face in mock fear. “Ooh! Now you’ve got me scared. Police are on their way. You’re not going anywhere.”

And with that he left the room, closing the door firmly behind him.

The girls looked at each other as they heard the key turning in the lock. There was no doubt about it: they were being kept prisoner.
