“Over here!” one of the tourists shouted, waving her arms as she spotted Amara. The rangers immediately broke into action, recognizing the tense situation and moving swiftly to intercept the poachers. The two men faltered at the sight of the crowd, their bravado quickly dissolving under the scrutiny of the armed rangers.
They tried to bolt, but it was too late. Within seconds, the rangers apprehended them, their protests drowned out by the murmur of the onlookers and the stern commands of the officials. Amara exhaled a long, shuddering breath, her shoulders finally relaxing as she realized the danger had passed.
