Chapter Eight

The Small Village at the Bottom of the Mountain.

The group, led by the hunter arrived at the village and stood by the dwellings. Dargaville asked him, continuing to converse in Nepalese, if he had seen the Nazis. The hunter looked confused and said nothing. Now, several of the other village dwellers had started to gather around, curious as to the identity of their new guests. Dargaville tried a different tactic.

“Have you seen the men with the lightening on their sleeves?” Now, the hunter understood.

“Ah, they were here before, but now they have gone,” he confirmed. “What did you tell them?”

“We told them that they would find Yeti in the mountains,” said the hunter, smiling for the first time.

James was now wondering if Yeti was some Nepalese word, or if they were actually talking about the Yeti itself.

The hunter continued: “Many of our villages fled. They were afraid that the men with the lightening would kill them if they stayed here.”

Dargaville nodded understandingly. Which way did they go?” she asked.

The hunter pointed in what seemed like a random direction.

Just then, a Monk appeared and joined the group. He was fully robed and badly mutilated. He was holding a lock of red hair - or fur - which he held out and offered to Dargaville.

“What’s this?” she asked.

The hunter told her that some time ago, the Yeti had been to the village and had attacked the Monk, hence the reason of his appearance now.

James’ earlier rhetorical question to himself now didn’t need answering at all.

Strewth.

For the first time, the hunter spoke in English, talking directly to James.

“He says it’s Yeti hair. They live deep in the mountains. They are feared by all around here.”

“Right. I see,” said James, unsure of what else to say under the circumstances.

Dargaville told her group that then needed to move out and head in the direction which the Nazis had been sent, and the hunter objected.

“Much snow is coming, you cannot trek in these conditions. You must stay here overnight, you will be safe.”

“Thank you, but we must find the Germans, the men with the lightening. That is why we are here. We are here to find out why they are here.”

James looked forlorn at the prospect of climbing up that bloody mountain again, rather than staying in a nice warm hut in the small village.

They thanked the hunter - and the other villagers - and went on their way, climbing the mountain in the same direction from which they had arrived.

James and Dargaville were now walking side by side, at last forgetting their cultural rivalry.

“You seem to know their language,” she suggested.

“Oh, you know, I’ve picked up a few words here and there on my travels. I’m not quite as stupid as I look, or as you have assumed I am,” said James, deadly serious.

“I would not be trekking with someone, and essentially placing my life in their hands if I thought they were in any way stupid,” replied the agent.

“Finally, she admits the truth!” muttered James, smiling once again.
