บท 162: Book 4 : Chapter 11

I spent the next afternoon back in the warehouse. He didn't tie me up this time but he still sat watching me. After I uncovered his novice tequila plan, he made no further advances on me, especially since I was doing a fairly good job of appearing sober.

About an hour later, a man, practically a boy, came rushing through with a phone in his hand.

"Señor, es importante," he said holding out the phone to Andrea.

I would guess that that meant something along the lines of 'I don't speak English'.

"Quien... teléphone," I said trying to repeat my previous question in Spanish. As I've said before, my Spanish is ropey.

"Yo no puedo decir," he replied.
