EVEN THOUGH THE iPad didn’t photograph well in the dark, and they needed proper lighting to do any narration shots, Doug played around with the apps to get some interesting effects as he wandered along the edge of the forest.

Luke pulled back the tarp and zoomed the flashlight beam over the pit to show Annja the progress he’d made that afternoon. Another day of both of them going at it, and the skeleton could be out, so long as they didn’t have any interruptions from protesters. Once it was out, he had an agreement with the country’s government, and the paperwork to prove it, to ship the find back to London, along with the skull. The other two skeletons would be exhumed, as well, but they would have to wait. Mueller and Addison had both gone home since their work visas had expired, and Luke was reluctant to call Daisy back on the job.

Annja was glad it was taking a while to unearth the complete skeleton, because that meant she had more time to inspect the skull. Even though all her instincts screamed that the safest path was to get the skull as far from the superstitious Gypsies as possible, she let herself believe it was secure in the hotel room.

Roux was a little like a father figure who didn’t want to be bothered too much by the child, but should she happen to be in his company he was always glad to teach her what he knew. He had been the one to help her hone her sword-fighting skills after she’d taken Joan’s sword.

Bending at the waist to stretch out her spine, Annja did a sun salutation there before the dig pit, lifting her arms high to the moon.

“I love yoga,” Luke commented as he was pulling the tarp back over the pit.

Doug still wandered the edge of the forest, getting what he called mood shots.

“Just stretching out the kinks,” she said, spreading her arms wide and exhaling deeply. “It’s been a long day. You practice often?”

“Most days. Ever tried Bikram?”

Bikram yoga involved performing vigorous poses in a room heated to one hundred and five degrees. “Once. I don’t like sweating with others. It’s gross. I’ll
