CHAPTER SIXTEEN

PYGMY DOWN YONDER

“You’ve got to help me, Señor Jack,” Rodrigo pleaded. “I am go crazy and kill everyone. Those bastardos and their own mothers.”

“Slow down, Rodrigo. Tell me what happened and what you want me to do.”

“The Colombians have taken my son. He was on the campus, waiting for me. I will kill all of them, every one!”

“Where are you now?”

“I am near the Universidad de Mexico. They are still in this area. These are the people who are angry that we took their courier. You and me should find them.”

It made a sort of sense. Although I wasn’t sure how I could help more than the Mexican police.

Gearheardt was watching me from across my apartment. He wasn’t a fan of Rodrigo, that much I knew. He rolled his eyes and looked at his watch. We were supposed to meet the Pygmy in fifteen minutes. Gearheardt had agreed to talk the Pygmy out of killing me. And to find out what the heck the Pygmy’s mission was in Mexico. We were to meet him in Chapultepec Park.

I put my hand over the phone. “Gearheardt, can you get hold of the Pygmy and tell him we’ll be late?”

“He’s already in the park.”

“He’s in the park? How do you know?”

“He sells cigarettes there. I thought you saw him.”

“That’s the Pygmy? How in hell would I know? Damn, Gearheardt, you spring these things on me like they were nothing. What if he had decided to go ahead and kill me like he was threatening to do?”

“I’d of run the little bastard out of town on a popsicle stick, Jack. But I knew he was all mouth. He wanted to run Cuba and thought he had a deal with Crenshaw, but the Pygmy also knew that you worked for Crenshaw, so he wasn’t sure whether or not he could kill you.”

“Does he have deal with Crenshaw?”

“Not since Crenshaw found out the little twerp was an animist. You know Crenshaw. That animal worshipping stuff doesn’t cut it with him. He also found out that the Pygmy took the burro tail from the ambassador’s office and cooked it in the embassy parking lot in some kind of animist ritual.”

“Wait a minute. We’re talking about that little cigarette kid that you always buy from in Chapultepec Park, right?”

“Holy smoke, Jack, you really should look into a career selling bibles door to door. Didn’t you ever notice the kid had a hell of a five o’clock shadow? Not to mention, he smelled like a roasted goat. Yes, the kid in the park selling cigarettes is the Pygmy.” “Where in the heck is Marta? We need to get a move on.” I could deal with Gearheardt later. But now I needed to help Rodrigo first. I spoke into the receiver.

“Rodrigo, I’ll meet you at Chalupa’s in an hour. I’m going to bring Gearheardt.”

Rodrigo was silent. Then, “If Gearheardt can help me get my son, I will forgive him. My son, Manuelo, is on his way here. It will take him maybe one hour.
