    Author Notes:


    Chapter 2

    She aimed at the right hind leg which the elephant had unwittingly presented to her. A steady finger brushed against the sensitive trigger, her right eye was perfectly positioned against the scope. Her eyelashes fluttered once or twice in her effort to focus her sight on the bull. Once Bette was content that her shot was perfectly aligned she firmly pulled the release. 
    The dart was propelled at high velocity in a quietly silent but powerful puff of air. Bette looked on as the little red tailpiece travelled towards the leather skin to embed itself in the thick hide.
    The elephant jerked slightly at the impact the dart made with its body but the injury restricted its movement.
    Bette looked at her watch. It would only take a few minutes for the drug to take effect. She crouched down in the long grass and waited.
    Sure enough, less than 10 minutes later the tell tale sign of a large body falling to the ground was heard. The elephant was down. 
    The team immediately moved in. Trackers and rangers alike finding their respective positions and responsibilities. The team was experienced and it showed.
    Shane had now jumped out of the safety of the car. She had captured the whole event on film already but moved in closer to immortalise the work of her friend.
    The large ears of the elephant were placed over its eyes to minimise the impact from the  increasingly warmer sun and keep the animal stress free.  
    They had to move fast. 
    The weight of the elephant alone could kill it if it were to lie down for a long period of time.
    As Bette set to work on the spear wound, the rangers monitored the well being of the animal by regularly splashing water from large white container over its head and back, checking its breathing, measuring and lifting samples as per the brunette’s instructions.
    The vet had never encountered this elephant in this area before. The lone bull might have travelled this way in search of food or a potential mate. It was difficult to tell. Those animals travelled great distances but unfortunately on this occasion its path had crossed  that of humans and their once in a lifetime encounter had resulted in the dreadful injury Bette was now attending.

    2. 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.

    4. 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.

    7. 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.

    8. 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!

    11. 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

    13. 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!

    14. 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! :)

    16. 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? ;-)

    17. 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 :).

    19. 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!!

    21. 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?..

    24. 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.

    26. 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 :)
