“Who are you”, Grayson cried out. “All will be revealed” replied a cold voice. “Now, where is the young panda”. Meanwhile outside… the young panda was sitting up in a tree when he was spotted by one of the many searching for him. “There it is” cried a girl of fifteen (exactly two days younger than Grayson). The entire search party looked in the direction she was pointing, but the young panda had climbed higher into the tree and was hiding in a thicket of leaves near the top. “But where did it go”, she shouted. “Sorry Rebecca, but failure can’t be tolerated”. She then fell to the ground, unconscious…

Grayson tucked the young panda into his bag and set off to explore the island. The Island looked quite remote, so Grayson was surprised to see guards standing either side of a large set of electric metal doors. Grayson placed the now sleeping panda down on the ground and stepped forward. A twig snapped under his feet and before Grayson could cry out, a dart hit him in the leg and he fell to the ground, unconscious. Grayson woke up many hours later to the sound footsteps, he tried to lift his arms, but the were heavier than expected. He was trapped in a room, and he was not alone…

Grayson and the captain were moaning in sorrow, Nico had been stolen and they had no means of transport for leaving dreaded island. Through their sobs, neither of them heard the great wave. The tidal wave crashed over the island with great force and speed, washing Grayson, the captain and the baby panda away. Grayson came to many hours later and shouted for the captain, but there was to reply. The baby panda was sitting at his feet and whining. All that Grayson could find was the captains lucky bike charm and his weathered old hat. As Grayson looked around he realised something, this wasn’t the same island…

The small biplane landed on the edge of wreckers reef as the weathered old pilot pulled out a small raft so that they could row to shore. They needed to get the island quickly, because Nico, an endangered panda was giving birth and they had to give the baby a medical check, no-one noticed a small boat row out, when they heard the engines it was too late. The plane had been stolen, and so had Nico, the baby was hiding and Grayson found him in the bushes nearby. The captain found the poachers plane and started it up and Grayson gaped in horror when it just wouldn’t take off…
