"Sure. Everyone needs closure, right? Uncertainty east at you; well, I meant "you" in a general sense, but didn't it make you feel better when you knew what had happened to your wife?

Could be two or three cartels, though."  My expression must have reflected disbelief, because he added, "What, you think the cartel's don't pay for hexes? It's not like Hollywood, prima, all automatic weapons and shady dudes with oily moustaches  You live in Mexico; why do you not know this?"

"At the sound of the male voice, I let out an ‘eep’ of surprise and turned around to face the hairless wonder who stood behind me in the narrow hall.

At least he had done the decent thing and wrapped the blanket around his waist to hide his skivvies. He grinned good-naturedly and held out his hand. “Tommy LaFevre. Nice to meet you."

"Relaxing only slightly, she shot a quick look downward. Her eyebrows rose. A plastic message tube lay next to her lush red begonias. She scowled. The begonia stalks were easily breakable. If whoever had dropped this had so much as bruised the plants she'd babied to blooming health despite the cool kiss of summer's end, there'd be hell to pay. Finally convinced the area was secure, she lowered the gun and clicked open the door."

"She stretched and slipped out from under the covers. Where I was curvy and buxom, she was willow-thin and petite, the top of her head barely coming up to my nose. Delilah had us both beat, topping out at an inch over six feet, a good six inches taller than me, athletic to boot."
