Bone Walker: book Iii of the Anasazi Mysteries
“They had provided a grateful distraction from his boring duty. Rain Crow had placed him here, on the stairway just north of Kettle Town, to “keep watch on things,” and report back.
He Sees got to do this a great deal. Not everyone, especially in Red Rock country, had eyes like his. He couldn’t see very well close up, but far away, he had eyes like Hawk. It seemed as if he had spent his entire life on high lookouts either half frozen from the cold wind, or baked and blistering from the summer su...n.
But two old people … They weren’t worth the energy to run back to Center Place with a report. A sentry, especially one such as himself, developed a sense for what was important. Why the two would have left in the middle of the afternoon was problematic, but then, who knew what the Trader had said in there? When they began their fumbling ascent up the far stairway, He Sees watched, alarmed when one nearly fell.
He was still watching when, to his surprise, he saw the distant figure of a man step out of a fissure in the rock.MoreLess
