Soul of the Fire
“The hike to the truck was no more than ten miles, but it had been an exhausting ordeal. Sergeant Gingri and his men had accompanied Shan, Lokesh, and Tuan, and from the way the khampa stared at the Religious Affairs officer, Shan had been half convinced that indeed the sergeant was going to shoot Tuan. Gingri carried one of the old rifles in his hand the entire time, and more than once the khampa had conspicuously worked the bolt and gestured with the gun toward Tuan. Shan had nervously walked ...close to Tuan, trying to keep between him and Gingri. Even when their escort had turned back as their truck came into view, Tuan still nervously watched the outcroppings above them.
