I was afraid to return in such a way that I must pass him. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 21, Sentence #94)

Had he followed me from the Golden Chain? Had he been waiting for the missile to strike me, that he might be the first to reach the body, perhaps to examine it for messages? Was it a mere happenstance that he was on the walkway? Surely he would not know me, not from long ago, in Brundisium. He was moving quickly, for his handicap. I had no immediate fear of him, as I could move far more swiftly than he, supporting half his weight on that stout crutch or staff. I was afraid to return in such a way that I must pass him. I began to walk east on the Thieves' Way South, occasionally looking back, trying not to exhibit concern. I would cross the bridge and return to the Golden Chain by means of the other walkway, the Thieves' Way North. But perhaps his presence on the walkway was a mere coincidence? In the vicinity of the bridge, when I looked again, he was much closer than I had thought he might be. - (Quarry of Gor)
