A Game of Death Page #5

---

As you wish.

One does not kill the female animal.

I can easily recapture her, alive.

Of course I have no proper clothes for her.

I'm afraid she'll be

quite a handicap to you.

I'll accept that handicap.

Let's go.

Rainsford, I'm going to be more

generous than you'd believe.

If I don't find you by sunrise, I

shall return you to the mainland.

Both of you. Upon my honor.

Your honor!

Here are your claws and fangs.

I shall give you 10 minutes.

And now may I suggest that you go.

A good start is everything.

Good luck, my friends.

I advise you to avoid, Fog Hollow.

Whenever my game is foolish enough to

hide there, I am forced to use the dogs.

Here it is.

What?

One of the traps I built last night.

A Malayan dead fall.

Careful! Don't come any closer.

It's a man killing device.

One of the Malayan natives,

taught me how to build it.

Well how does it work?

The slightest touch on this vine,

and that mahogany log will come crashing

down, and kill any living thing beneath it.

Well,

We're ready for him.

Let him come.

Careful now, watch your step.

I feel as though we are trapped in here.

Suppose the dead fall misses him

and he comes in here after us?

I only hope he does.

Come on out Rainsford!

This must be very distressing to Ms.

Trowbridge. Why prolong it?

I'll not bungle this shot.

You won't even feel it.

Surely you don't think anyone who has hunted

jaguar, would follow you into that cave.

Very well, Rainsford.

Since you choose to play the jaguar,

I shall have to hunt you like one.

And not with the bow.

Do you think he's really gone?

I can't tell. He's playing with

us like a cat with a mouse.

We'd better take a chance.

Perhaps he won't come back.

Oh he'll be back alright, and

with a high powered rifle.

We've gotta get out of here, and fast.

Get in behind here.

Quick! Keep down!

That must be Fog Hollow.

Fog Hollow? That's the swamp

where he caught the others.

We'll never keep ahead of him there.

That's what he thinks.

But he has a rifle.

And we have the fog to hide us.

Let's go.

Very good Rainsford.

You've made my rifle useless in the fog.

I warned you to keep out of the swamp.

You wouldn't take my advice.

Now you have only yourself to

blame for the consequences.

The fog may blind my eyes, but

my dogs will follow your scent.

Keep your nerve.

Run, Rainsford, run!

Give them a good chase!

Let's see how far you can get now!

Cut around the swamp.

I'll wait for the dogs.

I can't go any further.

You must.

8 minutes after 5.

Only 2 minutes to sunrise.

We almost made it.

Rainsford, I...

I congratulate you. You beat me.

Not yet.

Oh yes, you have.

Why, you're not even wounded.

You hit the dog, not me.

I took a chance and went over with him.

Admirable, my dear Rainsford.

Admirable.

And then you very cleverly

doubled back to the

last place I would expect to find you.

My own house

Exactly.

My dear fellow.

You have given me a superb night.

One that I shall never forget.

Naturally, you are free

to leave at any time.

With Ms. Trowbridge.

Here's the key.

For the trophy room.

Kreiger.

You're the hunted now.

And I'm the hunter.

How does it feel?

Look out!

Behind you!
