They then realised that It was the world premier of the movie, so their chances of getting tickets were extremely slim. Then suddenly, an announcement was made over the pa system of the theatre, “Attention: The premier screening of Black Panther will be moved to our Imax theatre to accommodate for the hundreds of extra people still waiting to purchase tickets, thank you and please enjoy the film”. Grant and Kylie were relieved, as eventually, they reached the front of the queue and it was then that they knew that they would get their chance to investigate and be reunited with their pets. “Two tickets for the premier of Black Panther please, up the back for the best view, thanks” Grant told the cashier. With a sudden twist, Grant thought to himself, “Was this a date?” . With their mind back on task, they perched themselves at the back of the theatre and waited as the guests arrived and took their seats. Slowly, people began to trickle in, yet there was no sign of the thief, until they heard a bellowing, echoing voice with a thick Indian accent… “Come on Emilia, let’s sit down before the movie begins.” Behind the staircase, a couple dressed to the nines entered, encouraged by a round of rapturous applause. A spring of realisation dawned on them together, as they simultaneously stated, “That’s the thief!” They recognised his broad smile from the CCTV footage, as it flashed pearly whites that could have been seen from anywhere. “It’s the notorious smiling assassin, the black panther.” His broad shoulders were encompassed by his dashing, black suit. Beside him sat a gorgeous woman, with flowing blonde hair. Stealthily, Grant and Kylie crept into the row behind them and seated themselves, waiting to pick up on any clues. They didn’t have to wait very long. Within minutes, Kabilan turned to Emilia and expressed with suspense, “After the movie’s finished, I’ve got a surprise for you.” Together, Grant and Kylie tuned into the conversation. “ I know how much you love animals, so I decided to do something special for you. Come back Again, that broad smile returned, but it was countered by a tinge of guilt spread across his face. “Can you believe it …” whispered Kylie, as they looked at each other in amazement, the bond between them deepening as they conversed their plan. As they intently stared into each other’s eyes and enthusiastically engaged in planning, the connection between Grant and Kylie flourished. Momentarily distracted from the task, Kylie thought to herself, “Maybe he isn’t so bad after all.” Later on, the credits rolled, and Kylie and Grant raced outside, perching themselves near the exit. Then emerged the perfect couple of Kabilan and Emilia. They chatted breezily as they with me to my truck afterwards, and I’ll show you something you won’t forget.” “I’d love that,” replied Emilia, as she reached over and hugged Kabilan.
