Audubon Zoo was a lively place after noon. Parents could be seen running after after their kids, who were eager to look at as many animals as they could. Groups of kids in the same shirt, most likely on a field trip, could be seen eyeing the place with mischievous looks. The workers stood around with fake, tired smiles that didn't leave their faces, however. Hell, even the animals looked tired of being used for human's amusement. They looked as if, if they were to ever get their chance to run away, they would do it in a heartbeat.

"Isn't the tiger gorgeous?" Samia cooed out to a nonchalant Sayid, whose face held no emotion.

Sahir laughed at Sayid, shaking his head.

"That boy is gonna be mean as hell." Sahir said thinking about the future.

Samia snacked her teeth, following up with, "Ok and? I hate to say it, but Seiji will most likely take up after you."

Sahir shrugged his shoulders.

"That's the best thing that could happen, if you ask me." Samia pushed his left shoulder, roughly. "Don't be mad at me because your babies turned eleven months and all of a sudden want to start coming into their personality."

Samia eyed Sahir with disdain, thinking of how she could've chose any other man to spend the rest of her life with.

Deciding that the tigers weren't interesting enough to stay and watch, Samia began walking away, towards the next exhibit. Without turning around, she could tell that Sahir followed her with the twin's stroller, due to the sound of it running over the gravel.

"Your son is always sleep during the good stuff." Sahir said speaking on Seiji, who was currently knocked out in the stroller.

Samia wanted to say, "Well I wonder who he gets it from, asshole." But she held it in, deciding that he's not worth her exerting negative energy, in such a place, filled with high energy.

In the distance, two dark brown, almost black eyes watched the Wests', plotting on when to strike. They were tired of not getting the upper hand, and decided that today was the day that they seeked vengeance.

Looking around at her surroundings, Samia let out a tired sigh.

"How come we can never enjoy ourselves?" Sahir shrugged his shoulders. "You're going to have to talk to your little friend."

Sahir quickly scoffed.

"Which one?" He asked earning a laugh out of Samia who placed Sayid back in the stroller.

"I need you to handle the one whose teeth can't stay in his mouth. I'm hungry, and I don't want to have to deal with him for the rest of the day."

Sahir nodded his head, smirking towards Samia. Continuing to walk, he stopped her at a clear opening.

"The only way that I can handle him quickly is if you create a distraction."

As soon as those words left Sahir's mouth, Samia quickly began to shake her head no. The last time she had created a distraction, she was close to getting surgery done on her heart messing around with Sahir.

"Sahir please no-" Samia started, but was cut off by a screaming Sahir.

"Someone please come help my wife! Help! Help!" He screamed at the type of his lungs.

Rolling her eyes at his act, Samia began to convulse, falling to the ground. Eyes quickly began to pay attention to them, and next thing you know, a crowd formed around them. Among that crowd were Lieutenant Blue and Detective Henderson who were coming closer to a convulsing Samia as Sahir and the twins disappeared out of the crowd.

Walking towards the vacant alligator exhibit, Sahir began to whistle loudly, knowing that he was attracting the unwanted. Once he made it there, he waited.

Flicking his switchblade up, Muerte counted to three, before running at full speed towards Sahir. Thankful that he moved the stroller further away from him, Sahir quickly sidestepped Muerte, making him fly over the railing to the alligator pit.

Muerte's body dove into the water with a loud splash, alerting all beings around. Quickly hopping back up from under the water, Muerte began to scream, seeing an alligator start to make its way towards him.

"Sahir help!" Muerte screamed repeatedly, deciding to move to the one lone tree that stood in the exhibit.

Climbing up the tree, Muerte looked at Sahir for help.

"I would allow my sons to climb in and save you, but my wife might kill me. She wouldn't want to miss their first mission." Sahir said laughing, earning a nervous chuckle from Muerte, before his face went back to mortified.

"These American alligators have a broader snout than others, and you can't see their fourth tooth." Sahir said informing Muerte, as he began to push the stroller away from the exhibit.

"Wait, you can't leave me!" Muerte yelled while lifting his leg up, away from the snapping alligator at the bottom of the tree.

Sahir stopped, before turning towards Muerte with a smirk on his face.

"Well Morty you owe me money-" Sahir began to say, but stopped to catch Muerte's wallet, which he hurled at Sahir.

Shaking his head, Sahir opened Muerte's wallet, taking all the cash that resided in it. It had to be over a thousand dollars because Muerte's wallet was so full, he must have not trusted banks. Placing a dot tracker on the inside of Muerte's wallet, he placed it on the ground next to his feet, Sahir began to look around.

"I'll help you because I feel bad for you." He started, still looking around, honestly at nothing at all. "There's nothing around here, so give me your jacket."

Muerte opened his mouth to question Sahir, but stopped when he seen multiple alligators coming from all directions. Taking off his leather jacket, he quickly threw it at Sahir, hoping that he could come up with something fast.

Moving to catch Muerte's jacket, Sahir grabbed it in his hands, seeing hope fill into Muerte's eyes, before he dropped it. An alligator quickly pounced on the leather jacket, tearing it to shreds.

"What was that?" Muerte yelled with eyes widened beyond possible.

He could only imagine himself as his favorite leather jacket that he wouldn't be able to wear again.

"That's my bad, I had butter fingers for a second. Let's retry." Sahir began tapping on his chin, in a thinking manner, before he smiled with an idea. "Give me your pants, Morty."

"Oh no, no, no." Muerte began to let out, only stopping when he looked down into the eyes of one of the alligators who was waiting for him to slip up and fall.

"Giving me your pants is your best bet. I can leave if you have it covered though." Sahir asked with his famous smirk on his face.

Rolling his eyes at how he allowed himself to get into this position, Muerte carefully took of his leather pants, making sure not to loose his balance.

Balling them up, he looked at Blue.

"Do what you have to do with these, to get me out!" He said with his voice increasing in volume as he spoke.

Sahir nodded his head, discretely rolling his eyes. He didn't know why a guy that tried, well attempted, to kill him multiple times would trust his life in his hands.

"Are you ready to catch?" Muerte asked Sahir with the most serious face that he could muster up.

Quickly nodding, Sahir held his arms out. As soon as Muerte released his pants, throwing them to Sahir, Sahir turned on his heels. Grabbing the stroller, he began to walk away, laughing loudly. All he could hear was Muerte cursing at him for leaving him in a alligator pit, on top of a tree, only in his undershirt, briefs, socks, and boots.

"You'll pay for this!" Was the last thing Sahir heard from Muerte, before he turned the corner.

Walking back to where he left Samia, Sahir seen a group of young girls, behind led by a nun.

"How are you, sister?" He asked receiving a sickly, sweet smile from her.

"I'm well! Would you be able to tell me any exhibits that are worth seeing?" She asked after telling the eager girls to stop walking for a second.

Sahir nodded his head, a grin making its way onto his face.

"The alligator exhibit has a wonderful sight to see. You enjoy the rest of your day!" Sahir said before walking away, hearing the nun tell the girls that their going to the alligator exhibit.

Making his way over to Samia, who had an even larger crowd surrounding her, Sahir quickly began to make his way through, allowing the stroller to push through the crowd.

From where he stood, Sahir could see Lieutenant Blue trying to make sure that Samia didn't swallow her tongue by placing his finger in her mouth. Which was a bad decision, made by him. Samia quickly bit down, hard onto his finger, holding it in place so that he couldn't remove it.

"This bit- I mean lady has a strong grip." Lieutenant Blue said with a look of pain on his face.

Shaking his head and rolling his eyes, Sahir decided to put Samia out of her misery.

"I have her medicine, it was in the car." Sahir said with a fake pill bottle in his hand.

Making his way in front of Samia, he pulled on Lieutenant Blue's finger, which Samia let go. Opening the medicine bottle, he discretely took out a TicTac, placing it underneath her tongue.

Samia immediately opened her eyes and gasped for air. Anybody eyeing the situation couldn't tell that she was just a perfect actress.

"We're about to go home now, honey." Sahir cooed to Samia who only rolled her eyes at him.
