Stirrings

“SHHH!” THE ROOM FELL SILENT except for the rhythmic pattern of heavy footsteps as two men marched passed the entry way of the shadowy hut. Once the sound had faded the hush was soiled by loud exhales.

“I told you it’s too dangerous. If we’re seen…”

“I know, I know! We’re all aware of the risk. So let’s not waste our precious time,” a deep voice whispered. “It’s happened. The Book Keeper has arrived. And…” The voice dropped as the noise of footsteps returned.

“This is folly!” a second man snapped as the strides quieted again. “We’re risking everything tonight.”

“Shhh! Keep your voice down, brother!” urged a third. “G. T. is correct. If the Book Keeper is here in El Dorado then it may be the only opportunity we’ll get. This is the moment we’ve been awaiting for a very long time.”

“We will need to corner him when he’s alone. That may not be an easy task,” observed a woman, the final member of the quartet.

The deep-voiced man cleared his throat. “I agree. But it’s the only way. We must seize the moment while he’s sleeping or secluded. We won’t get a second chance,” he concluded. “We must strike fast.”

A sharp creaking noise outside the building extinguished the voices.

Two men burst into the hovel only to find it empty.
