“What good is fifty thousand American dollars if we are not alive to spend it? We should leave this cursed place and never return. It was a mistake to come here.”

“I agree with your friend,” said a voice from the darkness.

Walter raised his rifle and pointed it at where the voice had come from. “Who’s there? Show yourself, right now.”

A tall man stepped out from the shadows. He had four scars running across his face, and was wearing a thick pullover, but seemed to be unarmed. “This is private property. I don’t know what your friend, Joseph, told you, but there’s no hunting allowed here. I suggest you come with me and let me escort you back to your vehicles.”

Walter stepped forward until he was face to face with the stranger. “Look, Buddy, I don’t know who you are, but…”

The man smiled. “My name is John. I suppose you could say I’m the game warden here. I take care of things. Make sure the wildlife is protected. Make sure that people don’t trespass or hurt themselves. These woods can be… dangerous. Please, let me see you safely back to your car. I’d hate to see anything happen to you.”

Walter bristled at this. “I don’t care if you’re the goddamn President of Bosnia himself. I am an American citizen and I paid good money to be able to hunt here. I’m not letting some limey son of a bitch tell me otherwise.”

The man smiled. “Then I suggest you ask Joseph and his friend for a refund. As I said, this is private property and you aren’t welcome here.”

Walter raised his rifle and pointed it at the man. “And what exactly are you going to do if I say no?”

The man’s grin widened and, for a moment, it looked like his eyes flashed green in the moonlight. “I was hoping you’d ask that.”
