Mastafa came running as fast as he could he held his mouth the moment he saw that the hyena's had killed Renee. He could see that troy was in shock and could not respond or move to the questions that was being asked of him... "Troy what happen here Mastafa asked as he tried to shake Troy back to reality?" Troy began to come to himself he told Mastafa everything he knew that he saw the animals do to Renee. He couldn't understand what would make her wonder off from the hut. The thought of how the animals killed Renee haunted his memory in a profound way. Mastafa placed his arm around Troy's neck he began to walk him back to the village and away from where it all happened. He could see that Troy was still not himself he knew that Troy loved Renee he could tell by the way Troy looked at her when she was alive. The elders fixed Troy a remedy of an elixir that would make him sleep throughout the night.

The elixir tasted sweet to Troy at first he thought that he was drinking tea mixed with honey, but soon the medicine began to take effect and he became drowsy. With a heavy heart Troy fell asleep and in his dreams he made love to Renee passionately. He could smell her scent it was as if she was laying next to him while he slept.

The next day troy awakened with a splitting headache his stomach felt just as bad as he did. He tried to stop the nausea that followed he held onto the wall that kept him from falling to the floor.

Later that day Troy and Mastafa talked about what Troy was going to do about the funeral arrangements for Renee. Mastafa assured him that he knew a doctor name Moody who could fix up what was left of her body so that she can be viewed by her loved ones back in America.

Troy was shocked he did not know that the African government had found the remains of Renee body, and then on top of that had her shipped to the morgue. His next step was to claim the body so that she could be released over to her remaining family back home in America. Afterwards he and Mastafa was to continue on with there tour of the duwk... ''Listen said Troy I want to tell you what I need for you to do for me?' mustafa understood well what troy was asking of him he knew exactly where to take Troy to retrieve the dingo semen he needed.

Troy was very discerning on what type of dog he wanted to breed lady with. He only wanted the dingo semen of the breed of animal he saw bring down the bull elephant. He needed Mastafa to introduce him to the doctor who could perform the genetic operation of impregnating his dog lady. Mastafa fired up the amphibian he needed to check out the kinks the boat may have to take such a long journey to Bosnia. From there Troy was on his own and Mustafa would be five thousand dollars richer.

The amphibian was ready to sail Troy packed his belongings and boarded the boat with a smile on his face as big as Africa itself. Soon he would have what he wanted the extraction of the dingo semen would cost him twenty thousand U.S. dollars. Troy specifically asked that the semen be placed in a metal canister marked zoo he figured that this would keep him from having to explain too customs what he was trying to bring back to america. He knew that what he was doing was highly illegal but the money that was involved was more important than his rational thinking at this point.

Meanwhile back in America:

Renee family was worried about her they knew that she and troy took there trip to Africa. Both of her parent felt like something was wrong they haven't heard from her in days and that was not like Renee.To them this was a red flag and they began to trace her phone to the police who in return faxed it to the the local police in Africa as a precaution.

Mastafa and Troy had there day cut out for them they traveled up the river in the amphibian in search for the dingo semen. Troy wanted to get it and put it in a canister and ready to be flown out with him on the plane by friday.  It didn't take long before the amphibian sailed the Okavango river without a hitch. The Okavango was deep and at times could be a dangerous journey to reach the village , but Mastafa needed the money. He'd sailed the river many times before he knew the journey to the village was as long as the river itself. Sailing was only half of what Troy was going to need to do to retrieve what he needed.

The river basin began to become rough Mastafa checked on the engine of the amphibian.... Don't fail me now Mastafa whispered as smoke begun to bellow out from the engine​ room... Troy he screamed, please bring the fire extinguisher the boat looks like we may have trouble. Troy hurried to do as he was told he thought about what could go wrong in many ways out in the Olavango river basin. Even if they had to go on foot the jungle was just as dangerous and both Troy and Mastafa tried there best to get the amphibian working right, But the Okavango river was taking it's toll on the amphibian. Mustafa sailed this river many times but today the river was different he didn't know whether it was because what Troy was trying to do was wrong or that the river was doing what the Okavango do. Mustafa knew that this river was rugged and deep he also knew how many people died trying to sail up it's channel. The Okavango river was the main vain that led fresh water to the ocean lakes and sea. It was the main source to all life on the planet. Smoke continued to billow out from the engine room the engine continued to run but Mustafa knew that it was a matter of time before the river took it's final toll on his boat. 

Mustafa could see that Troy was scared he tried his best to insure Troy that all would be well. He watched Troy as he began to become sick from the lack of sailing and that he was not use to the boat rocking back and forth.
"Are you ok Troy asked Mustafa as he continued to find why the amphibian was smoking... Im good Troy exclaimed but Mustafa knew he was just trying to be brave he seen his kind many times before while sailing the Okavango river basin.
