Mizeck appeared at the door. “What do you have for us?”
“Four birds.”
He smiled. “This is the type of man we need here at mphala. Good job.”
“We’ll make a fire,” said Charity.
I walked inside beaming. Khamba followed.
“Get that stupid dog out of here,” shouted Mizeck. “He’s going to think he lives here or something. Dogs don’t belong inside, don’t you know this? I bet you even talk to that thing.”
“Khamba,” I screamed, “get outside!”
I reared back my leg, and he scurried out the door, then looked at me confused.
“Just wait,” I whispered.
I began cleaning my birds, plucking off the feathers and shaking them from my fingers into a pail. I popped the heads off and scooped out the entrails. When I opened the door, Khamba was waiting. This was his hunting treat, a reward more treasured than life itself. I tossed each head into the air, and Khamba leaped up and grabbed them. One crunch and they were gone. The entrails were slurped in a gulp.
Back inside, Charity and Mizeck already had the birds laid over the coals. The sizzling meat smelled delicious.
“Guys,” I said, “I’m really starting to salivate!”
“Be quiet.”
Once they finished cooking my birds, they even allowed me to eat one. But as soon as I was no longer useful to them, the inevitable happened.
“Hey boy,” said Mizeck, “don’t I hear your mother calling?”
“What? I don’t hear anything.”
“He’s right,” said Charity. “That’s definitely your mother.”
My marching orders had been given. Without protest, I holstered my knife back into my waistband, called my dog, and together we returned home to a houseful of girls.
