At the word tiger, I wanted to run. What I didn't account for was us all fleeing in different directions. I was already starting to hear the growling of ferocious beasts nearby, roaming out to see what all the fuss was.
'Not that way!' No one could hear me yelling, and I stopped shouting as the little girl reappeared, poking her head over the metal railing above.
'One, two... nine. I found nine, Daddy.'
'Nine?' A member of staff queried, rushing towards her. 'Shit. Perry, there are people in there. Wipe the counter clear, will you?'
'There are only five of us,' Alistair whispered. 'And four of these 'tigers', whatever they may be.'
