There is a new crisis in the Middle East. Two puppet friends, Leo and Monkey, are missing. The last time they were seen together was in Dubai at the Burj Khalifa. Simone reported them missing in Kuwait on Tuesday, and officials have been searching 24/7 since. At this time, there seem to be no signs of foul play, but there are no solid leads yet.

Last seen on Sunday, November 17

Background Information
Simone, Monkey, and Leo have been traveling companions since August 2012. The three friends met at Lollapalooza in Chicago and became best friends immediately. They supported each other through it all, despite their different backgrounds.

Simone grew up in Paris as part of a traveling circus. When she's not doing tricks for peanuts, she enjoys reading literature by her namesake, Simone de Beauvoir. Friends describe her as caring and sensitive, though she may appear thick skinned.

Leo was a Late Bloomer, but he had the last laugh when he published a very successful semi-autobiographical children's book about his trials as a cub. Though he's grown up to be a strapping young lion, he loves to spend time in his den with a cup of tea and his good friend Daniel.

Monkey eats bananas.
