Kathlyn Trent, Marcus Burton 01 - Valley of the Shadow
“The warm, balmy breeze was like the most gentle of caresses and the stars above were a cascade of diamonds against a velvet backdrop. Somewhere, the smell of sewage leaked into the air, spoiling the paradise-like atmosphere.
Kathlyn wandered from the mess tent across the encampment, listening to the sounds of the workers as they settled in for the night. Her gaze lingered on the sky; it was beautiful and peaceful, and she was glad that she had come in spite of her cool reception from Burton.... Now she tried to work up her nerve to confront him.
There was a cluster of large tents off to her right, dimly lit. She could only assume that Burton was in one of them, but she was wrong. She came across Dr. Davis, who was cordial enough to offer to help her find Burton. He was obviously busy and she graciously declined, not wanting to be a bother. Lynn gave her directions to where he thought Burton might be and she thanked him for his assistance.
In the dark, she walked the half-mile distance to the Valley of the Kings.MoreLess
