Perfect Specimen: Brietta
“She should have stayed home. Or in Istanbul. Or at least she should have allowed a village doctor to take a look up her nose, or down her throat, or however the hell they diagnosed these things.But she was too stubborn for any of that. Even when he tried to pamper her by offering up the largest tent, she just glared at him as though he’d either insulted her or hit on her. It was all he could do to get her to take the second-largest one, and she only agreed to that when he implied it had been or...iginally intended for “the paleontologist.”Fortunately, Hannan established a rapport with her right from the start, so Tagg left it to the big man to convince her to take it easy until she adjusted to the altitude; to eat some stew, even though she clearly had no appetite; and to settle down early that first evening at the fire pit Tagg had dug for them. She had wanted to do some test digging around the presumed perimeter of the graveyard, but Hannan tempted her with a promise to share legends that had been handed down on this plateau—his plateau—for millennia.Taggert forced himself to sit and listen too, even though he had heard most of Hannan’s crazy stories during his last visit to this area.MoreLess
