Flying Falconsby Margaret Scott

Elizabeth took a deep breath of clean, country air, delicately perfumed with the scent of oil seed from the yellow fields nearby. Sunday, as predicted, had grown into another hot midsummer’s day, perfect weather for the sexy little pale blue dress she was wearing. Very low at the front and very high at the hem, it was made for attracting male attention and at nineteen, she had the hourglass shape to fill it. The outfit was finished off nicely with a pair of white high heels she’d only ever worn once before and a white handbag which contained little more than her car keys and a digital camera.

She rang the doorbell for a second time. The house before her was big and obviously worth a fortune. A long gravel drive swept up from the quiet main road below. Out in the country, the nearest neighbour was at least a 15-minute walk away.

The sole occupant of the house was a man called Max. He’d made his hobby of keeping birds of prey into a business. He bred the birds for sale and performed flying displays at country shows, which was where Elizabeth’s brother, Jeff, had met him. Jeff was immediately fascinated by the birds. For the past year he’d spent the majority of his free time with Max, learning how to handle and care for the birds. They would often go out on weekends to fly some of Max’s many hawks and falcons over farmland or moorland. As Jeff was unable to drive, Max would often bring him home to the house he and Elizabeth still shared with their parents, ending the day wit. . .
