Night woke with a start and immediately moved his torso up and forward and went for his firearm at his midriff. It wasn’t there. Night then looked down at his body and realised that he was naked from the waist up.

Night felt a hand on his shoulder and he whipped his head around to see Shaka standing next to the bed Night was on with a look of total and utter sympathy, concern and embarrassment etched across his broad face.

“I’m so sorry, Mike, I’m so sorry, I should never have let you wander about here without me.”

Realising that the immediate danger had now passed and that he was now safe Night relaxed his tensed body and let out a huge breath of air before letting his head fall back onto the pillow under him. Night took another deep breath and looked around him. The room was full of concerned looking people. None of which Night immediately recognised except William the vet and the man that had been singled out as the Chief of Shaka’s clan.

The chief moved towards Night and his mouth spread into a warm and welcoming, fatherly smile. “I am so sorry about what happened out there, Captain Night. We were expecting you but you arrived at the most inopportune time as we were all attending to one of cattle that had just been attacked..”

William now stepped forward and said: “Rest assured, Captain, Dingiswayo’s fate is now sealed.”

William moved towards the door and Night saw he was carrying a shotgun in his hands.

“Don’t hurt him!” said Night with a lot more force than he had intended.

William stopped dead in his tracks and turned to Night.

“Don’t hurt him? Oh, I won’t hurt him, Captain. But I will ensure that he will never again be able to hurt another visitor of ours ever again.”

William reached the door and opened it.

“It was my fault, the dog, Dingiswayo did nothing wrong! He is trained to protect this homestead against any and all intruders and I was alone when he came upon me.”

“But, Captain Night, you are not an intruder. Enough of this, the dog’s fate is sealed.”

“If you touch one hair on that dog’s head I will take it as a personal insult to my dignity and honour as one of your guests and I will open a case against you myself.”

Night knew that Zulu tradition and etiquette demanded that they observe the will of their guests as well as the guest’s feelings of honour and pride.

William laughed without mirth.

“And what case would you open against me, cop?”

“Enough of this!” said the Chief. “We will meet later when our guest has recovered from his ordeal and all discuss with level heads what to do with the animal. Now, will everyone leave and let our guest and Daniel talk about what just happened.”

The chief then leaned over Night and put a hand on his shoulder.

“I’m sure he would like to know the full story of what happened and when he finds out who stopped the attack, then perhaps he would feel slightly better about things.
