Joaquin
You knew he would.
Me
Yes, but it surprises me how quickly he made that offer. Can you look into whether that family has ties to Salvatore or if anyone has been speaking to him recently?
Joaquin
Of course. It’ll take me a little while, but I can work on that right now.
Me
Those photos freaked me out.
Joaquin
I bet they did. We can be on a flight in 20 minutes.
Me
You already gassed up the plane.
Joaquin
You saw I included Tío Enrique when I sent the clean version of that folder back to you. There was definitely spyware on there. He ordered our pilots to be on call. He’s waiting for you to ask. But only because he trusts you have the sense to do that so he doesn’t have to send any of us.
Me
Just you and Alejandro for now.
Joaquin
Pablo and Javier can come too.
Me
I don’t want to pull them away from their wives if we don’t have to. They’re both still newlyweds.
Joaquin
True but Florencia and Madeline understand. It’s not like Pablo and Javier haven’t traveled without them.
Me
I know but those trips haven’t been into the unknown. They were dangerous for sure but not without some reassurances.
Our texts flow back and forth quickly. As much as I’m typing, I’m doing my best not to disturb Liesel as she rests against me.
Joaquin
Fine. I’ll speak to Tío and see whether he agrees with you. Regardless we’ll be there in about nine hours.
Me
Thank you.
It’s nearly an eight-hour flight when there’s no headwind. My brother’s building in an hour’s buffer to get everybody to the private airport on Long Island and get wheels up.
