Kovu scowled after the mysterious man as he left behind a new prisoner in the cell that had been occupied only moments before. That didn't bode well for the girl who had just been taken. The lion wondered if that was what had happened to Nala, back when he'd first come to the city. She'd disappeared without a trace too. Maybe these people were responsible. Maybe they were planning to make him disappear too.

"What do they want from us?" he asked, only half expecting an answer. Unfortunately, it was more than likely that nobody else had the faintest clue, either. "Did we piss off the wrong person or something? I don't recall getting on anyone's bad side in the recent past..." At least, not since Simba had banished him from the Pridelands. But Simba definitely wasn't the one behind all of this, and Kovu couldn't think of anyone in Paixao he'd annoyed enough for them to want to kidnap and imprison him.
