Contrary to their preconceptions, once the door closed, the inside of the monastery was well-lid and grand. Chandeliers, billiards tables, central air conditioning, commercial kitchen with giant refrigerators and fully stocked pantries, a full basketball court, arcade machines, leather massage chairs and the luxury goes on and on. After they performed their routine security perimeter checks and established a safe area encompassing about 2,000 square feet with a defensive camp zone of about 100 square feet. The maskman told the author and K to grab a weapon and be prepared for anything inside of the monastery before entering. Now he watches both of them finding quarters to buy Twinkies and Canada Dry from the dual soda and snack vending machine.
The author even asked him if he had change for a five dollar bill. The maskman uncharacteristically laughed out loud only to realize seconds later he actually laughed and pretended he was coughing. When the author spotted the minibar, before K and the author could even react, the maskman grabbed all the JD/W/Bs he could find and poured them all into one huge ice-filled glass before gulping it all down in one shot. They put the kitchen to good use by preparing a royal feast of endless meats, vegetables, seafood, desserts and cocktail concoctions of all kinds. The masked man has high alcohol tolerance and was not a bit drunk after a few more drinks. The author and K barely drank any alcoholic beverages knowing they had to stay alert.
Out of the necessity of refueling their energy levels from a rough few days of intense physical movement, they all ate like they have not eaten in weeks. After watching some television and playing arcade games, they fortified their defensive base camp with multi-pronged invisible tripwire strapped to small bells and light switches. Small mirrors facing the direction of motion sensing laser pointers are also setup as an additional line of defense to buy time in the event of intrusion. Finally, they set the alarm on their phones to ring once every three hours so that the person who will be “light sleeping” to stay vigilant can be relieved of their duties by the next person on the rotation roster. Once all precautions were taken, they each laid down on their respective massage chairs and closed their eyes.
