Very soon, it became synonymous for refuge for all species, working tirelessly towards bringing endangered species back from the brink of extinction.
Its work with elephants and rhinoceroses was particularly notable but unparalleled in the world was the orphan elephants project. Saving and hand-rearing baby elephants orphaned by accident or poaching.
The foundation worked with undaunted dedication to rehabilitate those animals back into the wild investing decades into each animal to insure success.
But the work of the charity extended further afield and provided veterinary support to all species within the park with the help of a team of vets and fully equipped Mobile Clinics which on a daily basis set out to relieve suffering on a massive scale by providing assistance to sick and wounded animals.
This work was largely funded by charitable donations and under charity accounting regulation as well as for the peace of mind of its trustees and supporters, accounts and processes needed to be independently examined through a full professional audit.
The chauffeur driven car Tina was travelling in, drove past a rustic looking wooden sign spelling out in hand-carved lettering, "Welcome to the Melvin Porter Foundation."
She had arrived.
This was the least favourite part of her job, arriving unannounced.
**********
Bette was on her way back from the feeding area, a smile on her face at her epiphany of earlier on.
She would have to remember this for future reference. "Baby elephants resemble humans ones on so many levels," she thought to herself. "Poor Jonas," her smile grew bigger at the astonished look on the head keeper’s face when Bette had asked him to go and make up with the huffing elephant.
He had disciplined the orphan and as would apply with a human child it was essential to go and make amends so that the little elephant would understand that he had been disciplined for a misdemeanour, and not because he was not loved.
This was very important, because elephants can harbour grudges and settle the score years later.
The brunette was deep in her thoughts when her concentration was distracted by an unknown car parked in front of her office.
She walked over to the driver side when a familiar blonde head popped round the back of the car.
"Tina!" the brunette exclaimed perhaps to eagerly.
When the blonde heard her name coming out of the brunette’s mouth, her heart skipped.
"Bette?" Tina could not believe she was looking at those soft brown eyes again. Noticing Bette’s uniform, the blonde frowned briefly. "You work here?"
"Well, you could say that… yes, Welcome to the Melvin Porter Foundation, I am his daughter and I have the greatest pleasure in running the place." Bette said proudly. The smile on her face had very little to do with the fact that she was so proud but more with the fact that she was so happy to be seeing the beautiful blonde again.
"Tina Kennard, Wilson & Smyth Chartered Accountants, I am here to audit you."

Thank you for the reward :-)very appreciated.Have a great time away, recharge your battery for more stories.I am going to read this again and come back lol.Thank you for posting I cannot wait to see a lion running after Jodie to the airport!!
hahaha I’m with mariam let the lion bite her ass! lol This is great! And what a way to end it! Bette must be like “holy shit!” PPS I LOVE THIS STORY!
I could think of so many words to substitute for “audit” in that last sentence! Thanks for the chapter…better choice than packing. Have a great trip!
I vite for the baby elephant running Jodi out of town. Thanks for posting before your trip,greatly appreciated. Have a good ti.me.
Bette and Tina are cute, of course, but I think Maralal just became my favorite character. ;-)
Ah, they meet again! Great story, thank you for fitting it in. I love elephants almost as much as I love Tibette so you really got to me.
Oui. Thanks for this great chapter, I liked all its actors, from Maralal to the audit. Tibette dreamt and thought about each other, now I’m looking for Bette’s reaction at this surprise audit. Knowing the Alpha she is, it’s not going to sit very well with her. I’m sure Tina’s not going to take a backseat so that’s going to be a good promise for sparkles……. The weather’s getting better. Have a nice trip and séjour, Bienvenue.
Such a heartwarming, unique story..I enjoy your writing so much! Have a safe trip and I look forward to the continuation of this amazing story!
Oh Oh…”to audit”…Damn… but in all account [no pun intended.] At least they got the chance again, to really know each other. And what your writing in here about the “Elephants” behavior..It’s really true. And did you know that they are the only animals. who buried their dead? I’ve seen in Natgeo, that they even have a..some kind Funeral march?…So it’s really sad ..as majestic as they are .. ..They have no power if we humans..want to eliminate them.. …thanks for the chap K40.
Absolutely excellent. Can’t wait to see what happens. And I’m with Mariam let the lion just bite Jodie’s bum :) Thank you for this story.
Awww Kins, my bark is worse than my bite, but I still want jodie eaten by a lion or something major happen to get her the hell out of Africa and away from our girls. Hope you have a wonderfully relaxing and restful time away. Hope the girls will enjoy their time together when they are not working on the books. Maybe Tina will let Bette show her around the site, her own personal tour guide if you will. Thanks for posting.
You make me feel like packing my bags and going to Savannah. Any chance of a Tibette sighting?
Audits are lengthy, meticulous processes… and time-consuming. Which means there will be plenty of opportunity for these two to get to know each other, right? ;) Thanks for the post :)
SO GOOD
Have a good time and thank you for such a great story.
Wow, that was something! I loved ur update but u left us hanging now :( !
Throughly enjoyable! From the chair spinning to the baby elephant tantrum to the arrival of auditor Tina Kennard. I love this story so much. Post when you can.
What an unique and enjoyable story. I love the descriptions of the animals and their interactions w/the humans.
And by “audit” I mean “seduce.” That was what the part you left off, right k40? =)
Ugh..! Such a cliffy! Did you purposely end the chapter there Kins40?! >_< You don't have to do that kind of trick to keep me on my toes waiting for your latest update, I always one of many who is looking forward to your posting ;-) he3.. It's cute that Bette just automatically correcting Shane while she seems not so care of the conversation :-p and Kins! Your educational info about raising a pet.. Oops! I meant ELEPHANT ;-) is very informative! :-) and somehow it reminds me on how cute is baby elephant!! Lol.. Well regarding the club, it has a member get a member offer with a life time supply of Tibette loves.. :-D and to make your story merrier, (though i know you won't need it ;-)) I think there can be an extra bonus of someone being chased or bitten or harmed by member of animal kingdom as Mariam, T24, wkm, and favcouple mentioned.. And for this, the list of that special treatment can be longer per se and I promised there's no animal harmed during the process. ;-) Anyway Kins, enjoy the getaway!! :-) please remember to come back here later ;-) cheers!
….PS – Love your cliff hanger!
Hahahahah – Tina thought Bette was the bartender…Even more priceless – “Tina Kennard, Wilson & Smyth Chartered Accountants, I am here to audit you.” How unceremonious can one get !?! Poor Bette… (LMAO!). Kins, didn’t know you had such a wicked sense of humor too ;) ** Thanks for the ‘bonus’ post before you head off for holiday. Hope you both have a wonderful time :)
