The room Ethan sat in was dark. On a small table lay three bottles of pills, none of them for him. Also lay on the table a small dagger and a sheath. Ethan strapped it under his pant-leg, with the hilt easily accessible by hand. The bottles of pills he placed in a secure packet of a messenger bag loaded with ropes, a leather-bound journal, binoculars, and a magnifying glass.
He exited the room on the way to Rennard's new house. He hadn't realized that Pawz had noticed him.
