Mercenary Instinct (a Science Fiction Romance) - Plot & Excerpts
He had appointed himself first watch, letting Tick, Hazel, and Ankari’s group find rooms where they could dry off and get some rest. He had set sensors and cameras that were linked to his tablet on the walls and near the doors, so he would know if anyone approached the temple—or tried to leave. There was food in the kitchen, including bread that hadn’t gone stale, so the monks hadn’t been gone long. The living quarters had closets with robes and undergarments, so he didn’t get the sense that anyone had packed up for an extended journey. In a big room with a granite Buddha statue sitting cross-legged on a dais, a few candles were lit. They were fat candles and could burn a long time, but he figured their presence meant someone had been here within the last twelve hours. After his first circuit of the temple, he checked his tablet—the sensors were set so that nobody approaching from the outside should notice them—but nothing had changed, so he allowed himself a moment and walked into the shrine room.
