Adventurer is a short story set in the Otherworld series, available for free through Kelley Armstrong's website. It is narrated by Kenneth Okalik, a shaman introduced in Stolen.
Plot[]
The council is going to break in to a St. Cloud Satelite Office, and Kenneth's spirit guide Taira insists that Kenneth helps. He says he won't and goes back to his hotel for a nap. When Taira leaves he astral projects and memorizes the layout of the building. He gives the blueprints to Jeremy Danvers to use when planning, knowing that Jeremy won't tell anyone, as Kenneth wants. It is revealed he's been doing that for quite sometime, and that he likes it better then having the pressure of anyone watching. When Taira realises Kenneth went without her, she's irritated at him and he considers bringing her along next time.
