Out in the wild How typical of a man to base his judgment of her solely on her looks! Clearly Kip Forsythe would have preferred that she wore khaki shorts, a bush shirt and the odd python draped around her neck. Natalie would show him she was quite capable of preparing for the arrival of an entire film crew at Africa's Kabala Dam. He didn't need to know--he wouldn't know--it was all part of an attempt to mend her broken heart. ***** 'I went to pick up a middle-aged lady in a battle dress with few cameras slung over her shoulder. What I've got is an exotic black and gold butterfly. Kip Forsythe, the man in charge of the Kambala dam project in Madembi, didn't pull his punches. He considered that Natalie was a pampered daddy's girl, wholly unsuited to the task of researching a documentary film on the remote African dam. But Natalie was determined to do her job well --- with or without the arrogant Mr. Forsythe co-operation. But she hadn't considered the rush of desire that threatened to consume her each time she thought of Kip. Will love come knocking at Natalie's door with an arrogant Forsythe to handle...will Natalie fall in love with Neil, Ray...or is there a third wheel...She hadn't considered she'd fall prey to his Jungle Enchantment!
'It's not everyday we get approached by a government.' Jonas West looked round severely at his staff to impress them with this salient fact. 'This is a commission, not some vaguely enquiry. The minister of culture is keen to get the opening of the dam on film and it's not just a whim on his part. With the opening of the Kambala Dam, Madembi will shoot into the present century. They'll have power! they'll have enough power to export some to less fortunate countries and they'll be all but self sufficient.'
Everyone listen dutifully and at the back of the room Natalie sat on the edge of the table, her lips twitching with amusement. This was the lecture her father gave each time they had a film to make. He called it 'getting people on their mettle.' He shot her a suspicious look and she straightened her face, looking back solemnly, loving the deep, gruff sound of his voice.
'This has been a huge undertaking,' he resumed. 'A vast hydro-electricity scheme that will make it possible for Madembi to use it's other resources. technology will transform the country and we're going to let the whole world see. We're going to put them on map! We show the dam, the country, the past and the future. Hospital, schools and factories will be built. This had better be good! Natalie flies out this week to do the ground work as usual. Be ready to follow her about two weeks later. Any questions?' He snapped out the enquiry, casting a rather fierce look around, just daring them.
