Needful Surrender

“I was, but I lost them. Why do you think it was Villegas?”

“I killed Lorenzo.”

“What?!” He curses, his voice sounding muffled as if he’s pulled the phone away from his ear. “How?” he asks more calmly when he returns.

“Mierda. What the fuck was he doing there?”

My jaw tight, I say, “There’s only one thing I can think of.”

“He was following you.”

“Yes. Omero must have sent him. And if he did, that means he’s behind the thefts of my shipments.”

“Agreed.”

“Get your ass to the airport,” I order. “We’ll meet you there.”
