Hope you enjoy D…

'I remember when he came to Leopards Den.' Dupe said to his wife Caroline. He was distraught. Danny had just announced that he would be returning to the UK with his wife and step children. They had just lost Leopards Den to that demeaning Peeters guy. He was terrible and thanks to him his best friend was going away and probably not going to be coming back.

'It's ok Anders.' Caroline replied softly. There were two things wrong with the way she said that. One was that she said it softly, the second being she called him Anders. She only did that when she wanted something or she was trying to convince him of something. So in that same tone she continued. 'Danny will be back and you know it. you are just trying to keep him here. And a good friend would not do that.'

Dupe knew his wife was right. She always was. It was really beginning to get on his nerves. It was hard for a man to admit that a woman was right, particularly when that woman was Caroline Dupe thought, but there was just some much going through his mind.

6 (guess) years ago Danny came to Leopards Den. Now he was leaving. And a man cannot lose his best friend. It was just not right, a man needed his mates. Dupe needed Danny as much as he needed Caroline. Danny needed to be in Africa too. It might have been a little but selfish of Dupe to try and keep Danny in Africa but what else was he supposed to do.

He was sad, confused and angry all at the same time. It was something he had not really felt before, well except the time Caroline said that they should move to the UK, but that's another story.

He did not know what to do. He needed Danny to help him get his home back, their home back. The home they built together where they built their lives and friendships, made memories. It was Peeters fault. He had ruined everything in Dupes eyes. And one day soon Dupe was going to make him pay for evicting him from his Beloved Leopards Den. It was all Peeters Fault.

Why was he acting so strange? Well that was a stupid question Caroline thought. She was going to have to talk to that man about Danny. They would all be fine if the left Africa and she certainly did not want Dupe convincing Danny to stay behind. It looked as if she would be the one doing the convincing. But it would be ok because she could charm the birds out of the trees if she wanted too.

Well…I don't know about that one… but let me know how you think it was…=) musicgirl97
