IT WAS crazier than Jaeger thought possible. He was protecting a kingpin’s nephew because he turned state’s evidence against his family after witnessing a murder. And the nephew had incriminating evidence against said family, and the fucking evidence was hidden in a statue on the family property. The same fucking property that was confiscated by the government after the arrests. Could things get any more complicated?

“So the murder… and how does Javi tie into all this?”

“Javi and I kept our relationship a secret. Like I said before, we only really saw each other socially at his club while in Mexico and then at another prominent gay club outside Santa Fe. I didn’t realize that my uncle and his father were mortal enemies, because they both wanted to be the king of the cartel. Javi used to joke that we were a match made in heaven, and if one of us were a woman, we’d marry and join the two families.”

“Didn’t his father know you were seeing each other? Or your uncle?”

“We kept everything pretty quiet, but then his father caught us in town together. He didn’t say anything to us at the time, but the look on his face said it all.”

“I’m surprised the bodyguards didn’t say anything to either family. After all, they were paid by them.” Jaeger found that little bit of revelation interesting, but kept it to himself. The full extent of the story still had to unfold, and he didn’t think even Wren knew all the 411.

“They never said anything as far as I knew. Maybe they didn’t care enough. After all, they were there to protect us from an enemy, not to stop us from screwing. But… not too long after we were caught, Señor Chino confronted Javi. Javi told me his father was furious and planned to send him away—not to a rehabilitation camp or anything like that, but to one of their other estates, so he could think about his life sans influence from me.” Wren took a deep breath, which telegraphed that his story would not end well.

Wren continued. “To say I was shocked was an understatement. I mean what fucking century are we in? A person can’t turn gay from another’s influence. But I could see Javi not going against his father, being the powerful man he was. And even though Javi supported himself with his club, the loss of your family, especially a close-knit Latin family, is a knife through the heart and a fate worse than death. The exile would tear the strongest person apart.”

“What happened when Jesus Chino confronted your uncle about the affair…?” Jaeger asked.

“Eventually Chino came to the house, which was most unprecedented. He came with only one bodyguard, which was also strange, but I guess, since they had personal business to discuss, not professional…. Anyway, Chino shouted at my uncle and told him that I made Javi gay. My uncle blew his shit at that preposterous allegation. Even he knew you couldn’t make someone fall for the same sex.
