********Episode 3*****
I jerked down out of sheer impulse, to say the truth I was my tippytoes now, ”d–n dat shot could have come from anywhere”,” what if the shooter was aiming for me???
”Thoughts raced through my mind faster than a speeding bullet.
I had split seconds to assess the situation,wait!!! Isaw something, there was a flicker of light in the distance, I saw it or at least I was sure I did…preparing myself for the worst, I slipped my cold feet into my trainers and stepped into the forest towards the flicker of light which I had seen earlier…..
I had unending shrubs and overhanging branches to deal with.”I should have brought a machete” I thought to myself but no!! I was planning to be as discreet as possible to ensure that I didn’t alert the shooter of my presence in case he hadn’t noticed already…
As I approached the flicker of light, I started hearing faint voices……again!!!! They were unmistakable, they were the same set of voices I had heard earlier, I was sure this time…..

Creeping like a shadow through the bush as expertly as I could I had three things on my mind, such a sophisticated weapon in this bush?? Who could the shooter be??
What was the flicker of light doing here!!!!! Why did the shooter shoot??…..Twigs and dry leaves rustled as I inched towards what now appeared to be a large bon-fire.the voices I had heard were now becoming audible enough for me to pick out what was being said……To my dismay, there were a lot more people than I had prepared for judjing from the multitude of voices…….very cold chills crept up my spine as I made out a line. From their chants…..Aro mate xxooooo………to which the others replied ”bloody”……this was the initiation ceremony of the dreaded ”supreme vikings confraternity”right in my backyard….this apparently was were the gunshot I heard was fired from…..My pistol shook in my hand as I prepared myself for a long night.
