WHEN NIGEL WAKES ME, IT’S STILL DARK. HE BEGS ME TO beware of thieves and even those who say they’re pilgrims, because their purpose is not always good. He’s still talking when the bells call the brothers to Lauds and feet hurry past in the hallway.

“I’ll be careful,” I assure him.

Nigel smiles. “I must go to chapel. It doesn’t take much for the prior to find fault with me.” He pauses at the threshold. “Godspeed, Badger, my friend.”

I go to shake his hand. “It’s actually Adrian. Just don’t tell anyone.”

Nigel smiles and bows his head. “I give you my word, Adrian.”

When he closes the cell door and I’m left in the dark alone, listening to his lone footsteps grow softer, I think of the punishments he has already suffered at the hands of the prior. I don’t want him to be blamed for what I’m about to do and be punished again.

I think for a moment then pray the good knight will wait for me as I scribe.
