It was a quick trip through the village and down the mountain road, but when they entered the almost invisible trail, though Kat had confidence in Marco and didn't doubt his ability to find his way, clinging to his waist she was filled with trepidation. The brilliant rays of sunshine that had cloaked their earlier journey with comforting warm light had long since disappeared, and the wooded area was now dark and foreboding.

The majestic rocks finally loomed ahead and Kat let out a long breath of relief, but as the motorbike broke into the clearing and came to a stop, she immediately noticed the boulders were still casting long shadows. As Marco climbed off his bike and began calling out for everyone to gather around, Kat ran into the open area to study the dark fading forms on the ground.

The elongated eerie shadows had created a unique pattern, and she recalled what she'd learned about Stonehenge. It was believed the ancients had positioned the stones to coincide with the summer and winter solstice. Could the rocks surrounding her have been configured for the same reason? She wished she could study the shadows from above, and ambling into the center, it occurred to her photographing the changing patterns from dawn until dusk, then watching them in time-lapse speed, might offer some answers. Hearing Marco's voice she turned to look in his direction. The gang members were standing around him, and she imagined the tribes from long ago gathering around one of their leaders. A warm shiver rippled through her veins, and suddenly the motorbikes and the presence of the leather-clad Kings seemed wrong...very wrong.

"This place is sacred," she murmured. "This isn't a camping ground. This is an ancient temple. I have to tell the right people about this. It has to be protected."

As if underscoring her belief a cool wind rustled around her, and crossing her arms to keep out the chill, she hurried back to join Marco. He was wrapping things up, and she caught the last of his short speech.

"We'll grieve the passing of our friends together when we're back in the tavern, I'll call in the minute I get things figured out."

"When do you think you'll know something?" Leo called out. "We wanna find out who pulled this shit and get even."

"You and me both. I'm riding back L.A. mid-morning so hopefully I'll know something by tomorrow night, maybe sooner."

"I'm coming with you. We don't need you to be the next dead body, and someone needs to be around in case you find yourself in trouble."

Marco could hear the anxiety in Leo's voice, and realized he needed to include him. Leo had been Kratos's guard dog, standing outside the office like a Roman sentry. Marco would ask him to do the same.

"How would you feel about watching over the tavern while I do my thing? With Tank laid up there's only Jim, and he shouldn't be there alone."

"Yeah, that'd be good," Leo said eagerly, "and I don't feel right about leaving Jim there by himself either.
