This caused Monk and Ham to register intense curiosity and bewilderment.



"You're risking something to come here and warn Doc?" Ham demanded.



"My life," said Rae Stanley.



"What do you want to warn Doc against?"

"She saw some guy named Shrops behind us," Ham barked.



Both he and Monk turned to scrutinize the crowd.
