Shadowrun: The Kilimanjaro Run (Shadowrun Novella, #30)

AN UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE… Charlotte lives with her expatriate family in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. While visiting her best friend Neema, a hippopotamus shaman, a commotion next door interrupts their weekend plans. Neema's older cousin has been arrested, leaving her younger cousin Elijah responsible for a "job." Charlotte insists on helping Elijah complete what seems like a simple task: drop off a car in a parking lot. Simple, easy, and doesn't piss off the wrong people, right? Reluctantly, Neema agrees, and they set off. On the road, they get a message from BlotterBabe, a known fixer, that they aren't just delivering a car-they're perpetrating a horrendous crime. Together, the trio must make a choice to do the job as they were told-and keep their cousin out of trouble with the worst of society-or do the right thing. In the end, there is no choice. Charlotte, Neema, and Elijah do the only thing they can do: make a run for it…and hope they're not too late to save a strange visitor to their world…not to mention themselves.
