Chapter one twenty eight

"Sorry I came late." A man said when he entered the room. 

There are no other people inside waiting, including Ricky and Elio. It was twenty minutes after the scheduled time and the meeting had started only five minutes ago. 

"The meeting has not gone so far," Elio said, standing up to shake the man. Elio recognized him but not so well because he remembered that he stopped seeing the man at the cartel a very long time ago. 

"It's good to see you again, Ling," Elio said. He had made it a point to remember each of their names. He knew that would help him connect with them better. So far he has gotten most of the names correctly and it only made sense that he did not remember some of them because he had never met them before so he guessed that they had worked for his father while he was away from home.
