"Are you married?" I stammered out in the middle of saying something else. "No, Ma’am," he politely answered. "Very professional," I thought. "Well... Officer Johnson, do you have a first name, or is it officer?" I laughed. "Eddie," he answered. "Just Eddie." "OK, just Eddie," I quipped. We both laughed. I paid off the gas guy and he left. Eddie and I stood there in silence. Who would break the unwritten code of boy/girl awkwardness and speak first? "Eddie - Erika" we both spoke at the same. For good luck." I said. The interpreter translated what I said to Mr. Hanuman. His eyes got big and he chattered to the other businessman with him for a few moments. That was when I was to get the second major shock of this trip. "Mr. Kirkman, there is something you should know about that amulet..." the interpreter began. "The Jatukham Rammathep amulet is given for good luck, but it is more than that. The amulet has a more personal, intimate meaning about it as well. When a woman gives her. We haven't had time to explore the rest of this complex. Our research comes first."Could we see the drawings, sir?" I asked him deferentially. Something about this man demanded respect."Of course, merely go through that opening over there." He pointed to a tunnel opening a short ways from where we were standing. "There's a light switch inside. We have lights strung for almost a quarter mile in that tunnel." Since this is in my domain," Keith stated, "I'll stay here and suit up to go inside the. Johnson but I am not sure I can. I am notlicensed." Ask Jackie and see what she says."I asked Jackie and she said it would be all right. However, since I amnot licensed I could not charge her for my services. I said thanks."Mrs. Johnson, Jackie said I could but it will be free. I can not chargeyou because I am already getting paid and I am not licensed." Well then I would love to make an appointment with you. What do you haveopen?" How about 10:00 tomorrow...I will see you then."I could not.
