Brigit
When Megan had first asked her to trail from that gate, Brigit had picked up the disturbance caused by Megan, Detective Bustamente, and those other people from the zoo. But Brigit was smart enough to know that Megan didn’t want her to follow that trail and lead them right back to themselves. They already knew where they were. So she led Megan on the much lighter trail, the one she could barely detect, the one that was even more difficult to follow once they were out in the main part of the zoo where so many people had walked back and forth, interfering with the scent. It had taken all of her concentration, but Brigit had managed to pick it up again each time she lost it.
From the scent trails left where the thieves had come in and out of the zoo, she could tell that two men had come into the zoo alone, and that they’d left with one of those animals with the horns. Brigit thought it might be nice to have a pair of pointy horns like that hooved creature. If she had horns, she’d be able to scratch that sweet spot at the base of her tail herself.
