Chapter 25 by Bollo

Is Willow in trouble with the zoo, or...?

Offer of a lifetime!

"I'm so sorry for everything, and thank you for saving my life, but I can explain everything!"

"Don't!" A smartly dressed man in his 40's walked over to Willow and the zookeeper. "This stunt could've been a smear on our zoo's reputation if a woman was killed by our beloved gorilla. I should call the cops on you, but it seems lady luck threw you a nice opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

"You see, we were supposed to have a new mascot today, but the woman in the role called in sick today."

"You want me to wear one of those big costume?"

"No, no, no." Laughed the man, "There's barely any costume at all, not even shoes or socks!" and showed her a picture of the costume.

"You'll be playing Tiana, daughter of Tarzan. All you'll have to do is walk around the park, have your picture taken by some snot-nosed children or whoever asks for them, and give some trivia about the animals. Refuse, or do a poor job, and I'll still call the cops. Accept and succeed, and you'll be paid a full wage. I'll even hire you full time as Tiana for say, $80,000 a year? Do we have a deal?"

Willow was shocked at the number, and she did need a new job...
