Japohn shook his head at his foolishness, but he approached the booths nonetheless. Staying back, so as not to give disappointment a chance to happen. Yet studying them covertly as he scanned the items for sale. He wondered how different life would be if he could get out of his own way when it came to meaningful relationships.

He couldn’t help but appreciate the Imdiko’s sweet smile. He inwardly applauded the Dramok’s assuredness as he haggled with proprietors. Japohn noted the indulgent attention he favored his companion with.

That’s right. You make him happy, lucky Dramok. Be grateful you have him.

Because Japohn was Japohn, a successful bounty hunter recently finished with his latest job, he scanned his surroundings as he moved about, taking in more than the men who’d brought undeniable infatuation to the fore. Inspecting for danger was a natural side effect of his work, even when he had no reason to do so.

No doubt that was why he quickly homed in on the fourth Kalquorian in the neighborhood. The man was half-hidden behind a building across the street from where Japohn and the lovers perused the sales booths.

When Japohn noted the other Nobek’s rapt concentration on the twosome, he stepped casually behind a tree, where he could observe the situation. He didn’t question the instinct to do so; Japohn had learned to listen to the hunches that had saved his life more than once. He studied the Nobek who found the oblivious sweethearts as fascinating as Japohn did.

The man’s appearance screamed junkie. He was underweight to the point of gauntness. Despite the distance that separated them, Japohn detected a tremor running through the guy. His hollowed eyes were wide, and he kept licking his lips.

A junkie who’d missed his last fix, then. Japohn might have guessed he was scouting for easy marks to rob—and the couple fit that bill—but there were easier targets to steal credits from than a couple of healthy, strong Kalquorians. Especially for someone who appeared as wretched as the Nobek.

That glittery stare he watched the youngsters with also failed to match up to someone who was desperate for candy money. That was rage. Japohn knew the look well.

He’s not planning to rob them. What’s his deal?

As the men moved on, the other Nobek crept after, hiding as much as possible. Japohn considered, wondering if he should call out the stalker. However, the junkie hadn’t done anything to warrant trouble yet. If Japohn confronted him, the other Nobek could easily complain to authorities. Depending on who was on duty, Japohn might have to use a large chunk of his funds to bribe them to let him go—par for the course when it came to dealing with most law enforcement on Dantovon.

Japohn decided he’d maintain an eye on the situation. Playing secret guardian to a handsome Dramok and Imdiko was as fun as sightseeing. Especially if he had the opportunity to bust some jerk’s head and earn the lovely pair’s respect.
