After refreshments were on the table at Dos Hermanas that evening, Susannah said, “I talked to my boss, and he agreed to hire Kaylee as a pot scrubber. Actually, he’s not doing her any favor. Other than mojados, you can’t find people to do that work. He’ll be happy to have her. The only question is whether she will do it.”

“I suspect it’s either that or prostitution.”

“Not nice.”

“Well, what other skills does she have?”

“I don’t know. I only spent a few hours with her before I turned her over to Father Groaz. How’s she doing with Tristan’s friend?”

“Okay I guess. At least she hasn’t shown up on my doorstep again. But she can’t stay there long. Will pot scrubber wages pay for an apartment?”

“I doubt it. The only one of the scrubbers I know is a guy named Arturo. I think he’s the only one who speaks English. He lives with his parents out in the south valley somewhere. The others come and go as a group, so I suspect it’s one of those eight-in-a-room deals.”

Susannah had the pictures of the pot and its measurements. She had selected a Tuesday morning thinking there was less chance of other people being around. I started to tell her you can be alone in the Valle del Rio Museum almost any time you want because they … But I’d done enough haranguing about museums for the week, so I let it pass.

“You didn’t leave any prints did you?”

“Oh, geez, I didn’t think of that.”

“I’m just joking. There’s no problem with your prints being in the Museum. After all, it is open to the public, and they have a photo­graphic record that you’ve been there. The only problem would be if your prints are on the pot.”

“Well of course they’re on the pot, Hubert. I had to touch it to measure it, didn’t I?”

“No problem, Suze.” I smiled at her. “We’ll wipe them off after we get the pot out of the Museum.”
