They were each UBER predators in the same room at the same time. Danny Davis, 39, was sole stockholder of one of the worldβs most profitable hedge funds. Lorenzo Davis was the worldβs foremost elephant trainer. It was the first time Danny was able to deconstruct his fatherβs face. The funeral director had done a good job. Maybe, too good. He stared down and saw himself forty years in the future. It was not a pleasant experience.
As a child, Danny watched his mother burn every photograph of his father, a man who made elephants perform using every pernicious trick, from starvation to bull hooks. The CROSBY & SONS TRAVELLING CIRCUS closed two years before, enabling Lorenzo to sell the last of the adult females to CIRCUS RUIZ out of Juarez, Mexico. But they left behind her baby, a three-year old still in the process of weaning. No will was found so Danny inherited the young elephant. Her name was SADIE. She lost the desire to live since being abandoned by her mother. It was the same feeling Danny carried around for thirty-nine years. He was determined not to let it happen again.
