  TITLE: The Harris Hawk Strategy
  AUTHOR:
kerkevik_2014
  SPOILERS: BtVS post-series
  RATING: PG (written for
open_on_sunday prompt #614: whistle)
  SUMMARY: Learning to work as teams for the first time in history; lessons from nature prove useful http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Harris's_Hawk

Rona spotted the target; signalled with her left hand.
   She readied her bow.
   Vi called; perfect pitch for a White-faced Ibis.
   Only the target would know it belonged a thousand kilometres away.
   Kennedy saw her hesitate; unsettling her minions.
   Bow now taut, Rona shook her head; unable to see a shot through her night-glasses.
   Kennedy whispered in Vi's ear; different call; different range.
   Two young slayers revealed their presence.
   Gaps appeared around their target.
   Rona relaxed; tilted her head.
   An arrow loosed; whistling its way unerringly through the air.
   She smiled; satisfied. The others high-fived.
   They'd pick the rest off later.

Goddess watch over us all,


Kerk TehKek
