Carlos folded the paper and put it back in the glove box. “Yeah, I did. I can’t write it down anyways, I already forgot it. Let’s just get home. We need to talk with Beto about all this and figure something out. We can’t let Menchaca get away with it.”

He knew Carlos had seen the paper and felt that he should come clean. “Look, I know this is not the right time, but we need to talk about that paper you just put away. I was going to do it earlier, I just didn’t know how. That’s why my leg was shaking so much before.”


“You’re right. Now isn’t the time.” That was all Carlos said. Eugenio dropped the subject and continued driving in silence. It was the longest drive he’d ever had in his life.18
