Domino Theory

We brought the RHIB up on plane and headed for the protected inlet and beach on the northwest side of Bona. The seas were two to three feet, but our boat continued to impress. It cut through the waves and made over forty knots. It wasn’t a comfortable ride, but I was thankful for Pablo’s contribution to our mission.

We made the beach at high tide and made a call to Leo.

“We’ve got a gift for you. Can you meet us at the cove on the northwest shore?”

“A gift? What do you mean, a gift?”

“Just get here ASAP,” I said, and ended the call.

The Huey was soon hovering over the beach and blowing sand everywhere. I don’t know how he did it, but Leo put the chopper on the ground between two stands of trees with less than two feet of clearance on either side. I could make a helicopter fly in the direction I wanted, and I could put it on the ground as long as there wasn’t a tree or telephone pole in sight, but I’d never have skills like Leo.

By the time he had the chopper shut down, Clark had Javier’s hand and arm splinted and bandaged, and another healthy dose of morphine waiting to be administered.

In front of the injured man, I knelt in the sand with a twenty-pound anchor and short length of line in my hands. I tied the anchor to his left ankle. “Okay, Javi. I’m going to ask you some more questions, and you have two options. Number one, you can answer my questions quickly and honestly. If you do, that helicopter is your ride out of here. You’ll be taken someplace safe where a doctor will take care of your arm. Option number two is that you hesitate the least little bit or give me an answer I believe to be anything short of the absolute truth, and you and my anchor go for a swim. Do you understand?”

“Sí, yes, I understand.”

“Who do you work for?”

“His name is Domino. That’s all I know. He owns the boats, and he pays me in cash. I do what he says, and I don’t ask questions.”

“Very good, Javier. Now we’re getting somewhere. Who does Domino work for?”

“I don’t know,” he said, his eyes full of timid fear.

“Okay, Javi. I believe you. What is Domino going to do when he discovers you and his boat are missing?”

He immediately cast his eyes to the ground. “He will believe I have stolen his boat and deserted him. He will find me, and he will kill me.”

“Look at me, Javier. I’m the man you need to worry about killing you right now. Which bridge?”

Confusion whirled in his labored eyes.

I lifted the anchor and held it above his bandaged hand. “Don’t mess with me, Javier. Which bridge is Domino planning to blow?”

“America.”

“The Bridge of the Americas, and not the Puente Centenario?” I tapped his hand with the shank of the anchor.

“Yes, yes, Bridge of the Americas. They are planting the other explosives under the Bridge of the Americas.
