Logline: When two cops face suspension due to incompetence, they are thrown a career lifeline to guard an endangered animal witness and to escort the witness to a wildlife trafficking court trial to testify via an anibot translator device, but as the court trial date creeps closer Whizzy, the lion tamarin monkey witness, has his own ideas on how that week should be spent and also has some natural wildlife lessons on teamwork to teach them.

The Story: When two cops face suspension due to incompetence, they are thrown a career lifeline to guard an endangered animal witness and to escort the witness to a wildlife trafficking court trial to testify via an anibot translator device against Murphy, a dangerous exotic pet trader & trafficker. However, as the court trial date creeps closer Whizzy, the Superagüi lion tamarin monkey witness under their guard, has his own ideas on how that week should be spent and since Whizzy can communicate not just with humans but also with other species courtesy the anibot translation device, he rapidly starts to ignite, spark and then lead an animal revolution among the pets in the hotel that they have been hidden in. During the course of the week, when things get wilder, as Whizzy teaches the two cops some funny natural wildlife lessons on teamwork, only an eleven-year-old girl that is an aspiring vet who is on vacation in the same hotel with her grandmother, seems to be able to calm things down. Essentially, however, as the hearing date pops up, Whizzy wants to try to rescue one of his animal friends from the same illegal wildlife export batch and the two cops then have to decide whether or not to risk going on a rescue detour en-route to the court hearing which could strengthen their case and provide them with not just another witness but also an additional moment of triumph that could be just an arm’s length away. However, it is also a mission that could jeopardize and end their cop careers as well as put them and their animal witness in danger if they fail to deliver or if the exotic pet trader finds out.

I'll Be Your Parachute

Somehow, you got on a flight of hope,
But it took you somewhere wrong,
On a diversion of hurt, a detour of pain,
Then a stop off in total destruction.

But no matter where,
That flight of life takes you,
My parachute of care,
Is always ready to protect you.

Coz I'll catch you,
When you're falling,
And life's engines are stalling,
I'll be your parachute,
Your parachute, your parachute.

Somewhere on that flight up in mid air,
You found out the hard truth,
Sitting on a baggage seat of lies,
With no safety belt to spare.

But don't carry the suitcase of pain,
That flight of life gave you,
Coz my parachute of love,
Is always ready to catch you.

Coz I'll catch you,
When you're falling,
And life's engines are stalling,
I'll be your parachute,
Your parachute, your parachute,
And I'll catch you,
When you're falling,
And when your wings are broken,
Coz my heart is your parachute,
Your parachute, your parachute.

I'll be your parachute of care,
When life's rocky or bare,
And I'll be your parachute of hope,
When you let go of life's rope,
I'll be your parachute of love,
When care is no longer there,
Coz the parachute of love inside my heart,
Will open when your life falls apart.
