A few minutes later Sansone returns and hands Lascano a little paper envelope filled with white powder.

Do you smoke, Sansone? Don’t even mention it, I quit a year ago. How about the sergeant? Let’s ask.

They take a few steps over to the officer, who’s dozing at his desk.

Hey, Medina, do you smoke? Yes, sir. Do you mind showing me your pack of cigarettes?

Medina takes a pack of half-crushed Particulares out of his jacket pocket and hands it to Lascano, who empties the contents out onto the desk. The two policemen watch him, intrigued. Perro pulls out the foil, puts it aside and returns the cigarettes to the box. He shakes out the foil and brushes off all traces of tobacco with his hand. He smoothes it out on the edge of the desk, blows on it, lays it down with the foil side facing up and pours some of the boric acid into it. He folds the paper carefully, fashioning a small envelope. He thanks the sergeant, motions to the deputy superintendent and they return to the cell. Lascano sits down in front of Dandy; Sansone sits to one side and watches. The prisoner’s eyes are irresistibly drawn to the little envelope on the table. He squirms in his chair. Lascano opens the envelope, just enough to give him a glimpse of the white powder.
