Students and greeter climbed into an open-topped, fuel-cell-powered 4×4 equipped with bull bars, oversized wheels, all-wheel steering, and a pair of swiveling elevator observation seats mounted in the rear. Pocketing her reader and moncler sale making her way in the same direc tion without ever following immediately behind the trio, Jena was able to make out the bold inscription on the side of the vehicle: Jhila- Biopatenschaften Biological Station. This only further confirmed her supposition that the young couple were students. Come over from their dorm for a night’s, or longer, fieldwork. Used to reacting quickly to the unforeseen, she employed one of several aliased credcards in her bag to rent an electric trike from one of the numerous autohires located next to the station. When the 4×4 headed out of the parking lot and away from the terminal, its occupants were unknowingly being tracked by an equally silent if much smaller shadow. In defiance of traffic regulations and those regulating the use of the rental, she drove with all the lights turned off. Should the driver of the vehicle in front of cheap moncler jackets /monclercouk.com/” target=_blank style=”text-decoration: none”> moncler jackets her happen to glance in her curving rearview, on such a dark night she was unlikely to see the much smaller, three- wheeled transport following behind. Jena was also careful to keep out of range of the other vehicle’s animal detection avoidance system with which a 4×4 in this area was likely to be equipped. While its arc of sensitivity would be much greater forward of the vehicle on which it was mounted than it would be to the rear, she was taking no chances. After a short drive during which the station receded into the dis tance behind them, the 4×4 slowed as it approached a gate in a tall, high security fence. Sizing up the situation swiftly, Jena did not slow proportionately. Instead, she asked for and received a quick burst of speed from the trike that enabled her to pull up alongside the bigger vehicle. It positioned her on the right side of the 4×4, out of range of the gate’s identification system that was mounted off to the left. So occupied with each other were the students that they did not even moncler jassen bother to glance in her direction. As for the car’s driver, she was busy slipping an ident card into the gate sensor’s reception slot. Meanwhile, Jena made a show of fumbling in her shoulder bag for a similar card, which she did not possess. Accepting the driver’s ID, the gate blocking the road ahead rolled back on its track to allow the 4×4 to drive through. Jena paralleled it until she was just inside the gate, then turned deliberately down a narrow road leading off to the right. Not until the bigger transport had driven on out of sight did she reverse course, accelerate quickly, and resume tracking the other vehicle. Interesting, she mused as she bounced along in the wake of her quarry, immediately finding herself in deep, damp forest. This was a place she had never visited before. Night birds moncler new york called querulously to one another from high in the trees while the occasional rattle of shadowy branches hinted at the presence of other, larger creatures. As she drove on, forced in the absence of the trike’s lights to concentrate exclusively on the route ahead, she made note of her fascinating new surroundings, or as much of them as she could make out in the dark. Fervently committed but not single-minded, she was always interested in improving herself and adding to her store of moncler jacket knowledge about her adopted country. Giving no sign that its occupants were in any way aware that they were being followed, the nearly silent 4×4 pushed deeper into forest and night. Before too long it turned onto a left-hand spur that was nar rower than the main track. Nearly an hour of additional driving ensued, during which time Jena stoically ignored the increasing ache in her backside and legs. Pain and discomfort were mere intangibles that her ongoing studies had long ago taught her how to tolerate. Eventually, the 4×4 slowed and turned right, heading toward a small but intense moncler men cluster of bright lights that resembled a constellation fallen to Earth. They were the only indication of a human presence in the vast darkness. From the vicinity of the lights, voices and a few slightly louder welcoming shouts could be heard. Clearly this was a substantial encampment, hardworking and well populated. With no one around to see her sitting in the darkness on the idling trike, Jena dug her fingers tight into the handgrips and made no attempt to hide her disappointment. Her long journey down from the central part of the city, her singling out of the student pair as likely candidates for redemption, her subsequent shadowing of them on the train and now to this point: all had been for naught. She was fearless, but she was not foolish. There were too many people around for her to proceed with her intentions. Furthermore, a camp in a place like moncler jackets this would be actively alert to any unauthorized intrusions, especially late at night. The odds were bad, and she did not see how she could improve them. There was nothing she could do. The scriptures taught one how to absorb disap pointment. Working the trike’s controls, she brought it around and headed away from the camp, back the way she had come. Still, having primed and prepared herself to do a night’s work on the Mother’s behalf, she was reluctant to simply return home. Around her the woods were alternately still and enticing. The huntress is never quick to flee. If she was patient, and waited, and looked around for a while, perhaps she might encounter others. A student or two camped by themselves for the night while carrying out observations of the forest’s nocturnal life. A professor with a wide- eyed doctoral candidate in tow. Even locals who serviced the camp. In her present state of mind, she would settle for providing salvation even to one as simple as an itinerant laundry-wallah. So instead of turning down the moncler bambino road that had brought her to this point and heading back toward the transport station, she urged the trike forward and continued along the north-south road. Once past the well-lit camp, it narrowed perceptibly. Cut barely wide enough through the forest to accommodate the specially equipped 4×4, it pro vided plenty of driving room for the smaller trike. She did not wonder at the need for such a thoroughfare in so iso lated and unpopulated a place. Besides leading to a camp such as the one she had left behind, it paralleled the lofty security fence, providing service access. As she sped northward, she could hear periodic crackles as the occasional insect or unlucky night bird flew into its multiple strands and was instantly electrocuted. Some time later, at the sight of motion up ahead, moncler sale she slowed, wondering if these larger animals would meet the same fate or would simply be shocked into retreating. Then she saw that they were not animals. She smiled. Bringing the trike to an abrupt stop, she pushed the deactivated transport into a copse of thick, concealing bushes. Removing her long carry bag from the trike’s luggage compartment, she slung it over her left shoulder and began to move silently forward, keeping low and under cover. There was plenty of time and she would take all that she needed. As always, she was intensely curious about those whom she was about to redeem. *15* It was not difficult to decode the seal and open the access gate. The dozens of such gates strung out along the fence line were designed to hold back animals, not bank robbers or terrorists. The trick was to realize the entry while preventing the gate from sending notification back to its central monitor that it had been opened without authorization. Sanjay watched admiringly as Taneer swiftly and efficiently com promised the gate’s sensors. It was a trick he knew could be done, buy moncler online but he certainly could not have done it himself. As soon as the three of them had stepped through, the scientist reactivated the gate behind them to maintain the fiction of a continuous, uninterrupted connec tion. The two men they were supposed to meet should already be waiting for them, having accessed the location by another route. The utilization of two different entry points and two separate approaches to the meeting place had been agreed on as much to assuage the buyer’s fears as to enhance security for the forthcoming exchange. “I don’t like it here, Taneer.” A fount of bravado in the city, Depahli retained the same atavistic fear of the jungle that was common to the majority of country folk. “Why couldn’t we have done this somewhere in the city center? The main transport terminus, maybe, or one of the airport lounges.”
