    Savannah

    Both women simultaneously reached for their seat belts and buckled up.
    It took a little under 20 minutes of less than comfortable rough terrain driving before Bette spotted the other two vehicles.
    They had stopped a safe distance away from a large elephant which stood partially hidden in a wide area of tangled shrubs and tall grass.
    Animal and vehicles seemed frozen in a head to head confrontation although no discernible movement was visible from either parties.
    As Bette manoeuvred her vehicle next to the other two, she quickly assessed the situation. 
    Darting the large male would be problematic. The thick undergrowth would prevent a close access to the animal from the safety of a car.
    To ensure success, the vet would have to get within 15 yards of the elephant. 
    Grabbing her binoculars, Bette stood on her seat and popped her head through the opened sunroof.
    The once proud and mighty bull was a pale shadow of his former self. 
    She estimated the animal to be around 40 years of age and his reluctance to move was evident. He had started to loose much of his body condition, probably linked to the fact that he had not been able to feed properly for a length of time.
    Bette soon spotted the reason for the animal’s debility. A spear-head was lodged on the left hand side of its abdomen. The shaft had broken off but the base of the metal head was visible through the skin, a little 2inch long cylindrical protrusion. 
    It was difficult at this stage to guess how old the injury was but without her intervention, the painful looking wound would no doubt spell the demise of the mighty beast.
    There was no two ways about it. She would have to approach on foot. Bette shared her intention with the rest of the crew.
    The vet slowly exited the car and walked cautiously to the back of the vehicle to retrieve the silver case. 
    The men in the other vehicles were also readying themselves for action, with two notable rangers finding a vantage point on the roofs of their cars to stand watch for approaching predators. 
    Any prey was good prey and the distress of an injured animal was a message which circulated quickly in the plains of Africa.

    1. Well well well was asking myself when Tina Kennard will make her entrance in the story and how she will be meeting Bette.Now, I cannot wait for your next post kins40. thank you for posting.

    2. Very interesting story. And now our lovely T. Kennard makes her appearance. Been wondering when and how she would appear and waiting for this to happen and happy it will happen early on in the story. Can hardly wait for them to meet and size each other up. Great update. Thanks.

    3. You are an excellent writer. Have you sent some of your work to Boldstrokes Books. I’m sure Radclyffe would appreciate your talent as well. I would pay to read one of your books. I’ve been silently lurking and finally had to say how very much I enjoy everything you write.

    4. Again, you just amaze me with your descriptive and vivid images. Your poetry just flows off the screen of my laptop and fills me with exhilaration. So excited to read more!

    5. I knew that Natural Geographic will be perfect with Bette in it ;D I enjoyed reading this chapter a lot, it is just like a movie ur description was very visual, thank u :DYaay, Tina is here finally ;D

    6. Amazingly written! Can’t wait for more, glad Tina’s on her way;) But wonder how do u know all the details, wildlife etc? Really amazing and joy to read. Tnx for posting!

    7. Very descriptive, your words bring the reader right into the moment. So, Tina’s an auditor, huh? Auditors seem to be the most feared/disliked (misunderstood!) people in my company, I can only imagine Tina’s greeting is going to be met with some initial wariness. Their eventual meeting will be very interesting. Thanks for the post! :)

    8. Hi Kins! :-) great chapter as always!! :-) thanks for the warning in the beginning!! :-D as descriptive as it went… no worries! scrambled egg is not my fave :-p lol when read about the injured elephant, I kinda worry that maybe Tina was the culprit! But then I don’t know should I linger on the relief or not as she’s the auditor – as many mentioned, not a profession with open arms welcome in the company and usually it will affect the interpersona relation too… So I do looking forward to where are you going to take us Kins!! :-) btw … With those details.. You left me wondering.. Are you a vet yourself? ;-)

    9. For what it’s worth, I registered here just because I loved your stories that much. And though it took me long enough, I am finally commenting. You’re a great writer and a big inspiration, although I’m so much worse than you are :).

    10. Excellent chapter. So descriptive I felt like I was watching a movie. I was wondering when Tina would make her appearance and how. Now the excitement begins. PPS!!

    11. You’re a really good story teller K40. .The scene with the “Elephant”.. is so life like..And how Bette describe to Shane “How could I not be happy when I get to see this everyday?” .. ..like i’m riding with them?… Amazing… So,Tina is a reporter here?..

    12. Hi kins40, Thank you for another wonderful chapter as Bette’s life and purpose in Kenya was exposed. The delicate balance of conservation and interference was expertly drawn out. Along with the potential dangers of working with and caring for wild animals in their own territories. It was great to see Bette and Shane working together, showing the great bond of friendship they share. And then , almost like an epilogue, TIna was introduced as an auditor. I am sure she will have much time to review Bette’s facts and figures. I can’t wait to read more and follow how this intrigue adventure continues. The African sun heats the day just as the heat between Bette and Tina might warm the night. Please carry on soon. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.

    13. Captivating! Your writing is so evocative. I can almost feel, hear, smell as well as imagine the people and surroundings. Reminded me of The Poisonwood Bible (another favorite read). I thought your description of the injury and treatment of the elephant was done well without getting too gory ;)… but then again I have my loving partner, who is herds manager for our local university’s vet school in the large animal department, to thank for that (LOL). Looking forward to your next post Kins :)
