Capítulo 13: Chapter 13

Alice does not even notice that two more men in identical suits have come from inside the house until they are standing beside the fallen man. They help the man that David has called Kevin to his feet.

Kevin looks angrily at the two men who had originally greeted Alice and David. The one who had been disarmed has managed to get to his feet during the altercation between the two men.

“Why the hell did you let him get this close to me. You’ve got guns.”

“You think we’re going to shoot HIM?”

Alice is sure that she managed to detect both admiration and contempt in the man’s tone of voice but can’t be sure which of the two was more dominant.

Kevin returns his attention to David and can see that he is still furious but, for the moment, he is not moving.

“What’s this all about?”

“I think you know already.”

Kevin takes the time to fix his shirt and crumpled tie. “I wouldn’t waste my breath asking if I knew.”
