CHAPTER 18 – Midnight rendezvous

Roberto Muñoz liked his job on most days, but lately, it was a pain in the ass.

Roberto was a collector for the Alvarado cartel, and he spent his work life going from one small business to another in Mexico City and picking up envelopes of cash.

The money paid for protection, and although Roberto occasionally had to teach a late payer a lesson, the job was an easy gig.

Over the three years he’d had the job, only once did someone attempt to rob him, and they were a couple of young punks.

Roberto shot one of the boys in the arm when the kid hesitated to pull the trigger on the shotgun he held. The pair got away, but were stupid enough to seek medical attention at a nearby hospital.

For stopping the robbery, Roberto got a ten grand bonus from Alvarado, while the two that attempted the robbery were sent home.

They were sent home in packages, a piece at a time, and as far as Roberto knew, no one had tried to rob any of Alvarado’s people since then.

Roberto entered a shop that sold cigars and nodded in greeting at the owner. The man nodded in return and took an envelope from the cash register, which he then handed to Roberto.

As he was about to leave, Roberto remembered, let out a sigh, and showed the man the drawing of Alexa.

He had been showing the drawing around for three days and hated doing it, despite the reward that would be his if he somehow found her.

During normal times, Roberto could finish his collections by noon, but it took time to show the picture and ask questions, and he knew he’d be lucky to make it back home by two.

The store owner shook his head, and Roberto told the man to hang up the flyer where people could see it. If anyone recognized the woman, they were to call the number at the bottom of the paper.

Before leaving the store, Roberto slipped the envelope of protection money into the satchel he carried, and then took out another flyer to show the owner of the next business, which was across the street.

The woman that managed the store gave him the same dirty look she always gave him as she handed over her envelope. She was an employee, not the owner of the business, and Roberto wondered why she took things so seriously.

On the other hand, the woman’s daughter always smiled at him, and she did it once again, from where she was setting up a Holiday display.

The girl was cute, with long legs and a nice rack, but she was only nineteen or so, and at thirty-nine, Roberto knew he would feel sleazy if he slept with her, seeing as how he had a daughter nearly her age.

Once again, he went through the routine with the flyer, but was shocked when the girl said that she knew who it was.

“You know this woman?”

The girl had walked over and moved behind the counter.
