Jodie stumbled in the brightness cast by the headlights of their car. She stopped, straightening up to regain her balance and stood there like of rabbit caught in those very same lights.
She wondered for a split second if she should run into the darkness beyond. "What would be the use?" she thought bitterly at the fate that would undoubtedly befall her. At least, she knew that what she had coming to her would be by far quicker.
Jodie Lerner had finally managed to piss off the wrong kind of people and she was very much aware of it now.
But this time, it was too late.
Too late to try and reason with any of them. She had made her bed and now she needed to lie in it. The only difference this time was, that it seemed, that this bed was going to be her last resting place.
There was a bright flash followed by a booming echo and her side exploded into hot agony. She fell back into the long grass. It felt as if a truck had hit her full on.
Her breath caught in her throat. Eyes wide opened at the shock of the impact. She was still alive, though. Had they purposely missed?
"I do not like being taken for a fool Miss Lerner." The voice of a man emerged from the darkness. Tinged ever so slightly with a foreign accent, Jodie recognised Mr Chang’s voice. It was even toned but the latent anger within it was discernible.
"I do not take lightly to people who go back on their words. The price was agreed and you tried to pull out of our agreement because… you think you are better than us?"
Gritting her teeth against the white hot pain, she tried to lift herself up to level with the man she had crossed.
"My crew," Chang continued stepping closer to the half lying woman, "Have put their freedom in jeopardy for you… and you have the audacity to suggest you are not going to pay them because you think your money is worth more than their lives?"
Moving to a half sitting position, a painful gasp escaped the throat of the trophy hunter. She clutched her side as the movement made the excruciating pain in her side double in intensity. She struggled to catch her breath.

Well it appears that Jodie sealed her own fate. How ironic that the hyenas would attack their own kind.
You really know how tug on my heart strings. Beautiful K. Thank you and happy new year to you as well. We have to wait until next year for the update dang it!
You are the most amazing writer!
Happy New Year. May it be happy and full of good health. Loved the update
hey good chapter I hope that Tina will be ok … I would like to tell you that I love your story letter in the subway I just love it
You are a singular writer. Awesome update. Please post as soon as you can.
Oh thank goodness. Amazing chapter as always. Thank you. Looking forward to the next chapter and have a wonderful new year!
Good riddance to Jodie! So glad Bette found Tina..you were making me nervous!!This story is so amazing and so was the update!Thanks for the Christmas card, it made my day..hope you had a good one!! Happy New Year to ya!
Like Ayla – I never liked Hyenas either! But yea for them! Breakfast was served!! A BIG HIP HIP HORRAY for Ellie and her family! Like the elephants, kins, we(your loyal readers) shall never forget such an AWESOME TALE! A TRUE Story Teller you are! Such depth, such emotion… this is a true gem of a story!
Great update!!! In future I will be careful what I ask for, glad you didn’t describe it. whew. Good riddance! Happy Shane described what she was seeing, now maybe Tina will be alright once she gets the antidote. Bette can give it to her then get her to the nearest hospital. Good girl Shane, good girl. And much, much love to Ellie and her family. My heart was in my mouth that they would not pass over Ellie without seeing Tina. Happy New Year to you!!!
Wow… when you take care of a problem character, you make it a permanent fix! As for Tina’s weak pulse, I suspect that will improve with nearness to Bette. :-) Who needs epinephrine or defib paddles when Bette’s around?
I love Ellie! I’m so glad she and her herd don’t have Jodie to contend with anymore. And if it weren’t for Shane Tina would still be out there. I trust that they found her in time and she’ll be alright. Thanks for the post. Please post early next year :)
great chapter. glad jodie got what she deserved. Ellie’s awesome aswell.. Happy New Year to you too! =]
ahh Jodi’s death was even better than any of the ones we came up with lol oh poor Tina, she’ll be okay because you wouldn’t let her die right kins
Love this story!!
Just got off the train back from a week holiday with family, and couldn’t keep from reading your update in spite of the late hour!… Can’t believe you’re finishing 2011, leaving us with a weak pulse… But that’s speaking of Tina’s pulse, cause as for our own… well, it sure is everything but a weak pulse! It’s pounding in our ears and going fast fast fast…! Yayyy to that chapter! But I had to LMAO when I realized that you would indeed have Jodie be devoured by hyenas!!! Hahaha… So funny!!! But done in a very smart way. I really liked that you had her outlaw schemes backfire on her. That was some smart thinking! Anyway, it was perfect. I’m still frustrated that you left us hanging there, but at least we’ll have Bette at Tina’s side in your next update. And that’s a damned good perspective!! Thanks sweetie, and a wonderfuly perfect and happy new year to you too!! xxx Kw
Hey ya Kins, I’m glad to hear that your Christmas was merry (and that you didn’t receive any coal after all – I had a change of heart and canceled my order with Santa’s elves). Kudos for your last three wonderfully paced and exciting chapters! rnm2112 is right on target describing this (and your writing) as a romantic-thriller-suspense. There are so many things I have loved about this story all along but the thing I think I’ve come to appreciate the most is that you don’t rush through the events allowing us to enjoy each suspenseful and wonderful moment (including those lovely little cliffys you love to leave us with ;). Yea for Ellie & family, Bette and Shane. With Bette’s TLC I’m hoping Tina will make a full recovery (please, please, please). BTW, do hyenas get indigestion? As always, I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen next. Thanks again for sharing your talent and story with us. Here’s wishing you a happy new year! – xx iHH :)
All I could hear was the song from the Wizard of Oz-Ding Dong the witch is dead. And then all I could do was scream-YES, YES, YES, Bette found her girl Tina. Thanks to Ellie. And Thank You for this story.
Also, Thank You for my Christmas Card.
Now things are better.Amazing story.Happy New Year for you and PPS.
I am beyond thrilled; I thought Ellie was going to carry Tina back to Bette. Good riddance to rubbish Jodi
Now you can call your self officially- A romantic- thriller- suspence fanfic writer. Gr8 work my friend.
Oh wow, For a second there I thought that those bad guys will take Tina with them. Yey, Tina is fine. Happy New Year indeed.
Happy New Year!
Oh I’ve been waiting for this chapter! Glad everything turned out the way it’s supposed to be:) Now fix T and make them happy!!! Tnx for posting
What a wonderful update. It was so gripping and i was sitting at the edge of my seat! Thank you again for this wonderful story. Happy New Year to you and may 2012 bring you all that 2011 didn’t.
Ayo almost give me a fright!Please let Tina be recovered,btw Happy New Year!
Whew. You really scared me with “midday,” “sun,” and “arid” and no mention of water. Tina will be fine won’t she kins? Thank you. Yeah, Santa decided you’d been nice, posting all these wonderful stories for us. Thanks and may the new year be a great one for you.
Phew!!… :-# Do you know Kins, that all the time when I read your story I prayed silently to not having the story ended hanging?! As it would be such a nightmare in the end of the year if Tina is not found till your next update next year?! Or let it end only to made us wonder if she is alive or not?! Thank goodness you were kind enough to spare me those tortures!! ;-) weak pulse is better than nothing and glad that Ellie is really taking care of her “family” and about JL … Humph! I don’t want to talk further about her.. Anyway, thanks Kins for another amazing chapter and for being so generous by giving us 8 pages with no cliffy ending :-D lol .. I still feel glad and relieve about that!! ;-) and last but not least … I’d like to wish you and your loved ones a happy new year and may the new year brings you more love, happiness, opportunity, and let it become one of the best years you’ll treasure in life ^^,
Kins40 ..GREAT CHAPTER!…
Jodie got what was coming to her and so glad Shane saw Ellie and her clan. Now hopefully Tina will be ok. Great story. Happy New Year!! PPS!
How could you leave it that way lol. I’m just glad Tina is alive that’s all we wished for. Can’t wait for more. And also a pm would be nice haha
Surely, there are plenty of work opportunities for (slightly injured) number crunchers in the African safari, as long as her office has one spectacular view of the vista…..plus, I’m thinking a baby elephant would make a heck of a ring bearer for a special wedding. This is a very sweet story. Thanks for writing.
That’s awesome and Tina will be ok
