Chapter 13

Jorge shrugged. “No, only that I overhear some things he say on his cell phone. I do not know who, but the things he say, about how they’d get more soon. How they had to be careful now because the law was checking things and stuff. He was in the room we let him use, my wife and I, in our house. I was outside in the yard yesterday evening working in the flowers under his window. I don’t think he knew I was there. Now I am very worried and very scared. My sister, it will break her heart if he is going wrong, and the company will not trust me anymore, either.”

Yeah, it’s true the local cops are keeping an eye on the place and following up on some leads. Maybe your nephew was talking about something else entirely. I’ll look into it, so just go on and work like normal. The job still has to be done, and we’re a little behind schedule with all the troubles.”
