They had brought the rhinos back to the compound. SJ45 was working with the SWR vets on the mother. She was using the new spray cream.

EJ and the girl were waiting nervously outside.

‘My name is Hasi,’ she said. ‘It’s short for Hasina which means …’

‘“Good” in Swahili,’ said EJ, ‘and also in Egyptian.’

‘How did you know that?’ asked Hasi.

‘Oh, I knew someone with that name,’ said EJ. ‘Someone else who looked after things. She was from Egypt. What do you do, Hasi?’

‘I help here at SWR. Our tribe has been on these lands for centuries. We hunt for food but this kind of hunting is cruel.’

‘It’s terrible,’ agreed EJ, still shaken from seeing the poor rhino. ‘Why would someone take the horn and just leave her there with her baby?’

‘The black rhino’s horn is very valuable,’ said Hasi. ‘In some countries, it is believed to have special healing powers. People pay a lot of money for it. It doesn’t have any powers but that doesn’t stop people wanting it. And it’s been getting a lot worse lately.’

SJ45 came out of the surgery. EJ and Hasi jumped up, looking hopefully at her.

‘She’s going to be fine, girls, but she will take some time to heal, even with our new cream. We will have to look after her baby for her.’

‘I can do that,’ said Hasi.

‘And I am going to stop who did this,’ said EJ.

‘You are?’ said Hasi looking impressed. ‘You know who did it?’

‘I think so,’ said EJ. ‘It is Adriana X, a SHADOW agent. She sent a message to say she was “hunting black” for her own SWR and now we have found a hornless black rhino near a knife with the words SWR. It has to be Adriana.’

‘But what does her SWR do?’

‘I’m not completely sure yet but if CC saw Adriana with packing crates, the same crates we discovered the monkeys in, then I think Adriana is sending animals out of the country,’ said EJ. ‘Her message mentions a shopping list and maybe that means Adriana has a list of animals she is hunting for her SWR. I need to stop her before she can tick off any more of her list.’

‘Then you’d better take this.’ Hasi untied one of her friendship bracelets. It had a bright and beautiful pattern made of beads. In the middle was a row of red diamonds, bordered by black, then yellow, then blue. And at the top and bottom were two rows of black and white checks.
