Strict orders from the highest level prevented any television coverage of the funeral inside the cathedral. Too many faces present required anonymity. The only visual permitted was a shot of the pallbearers carrying a hero’s remains to the graveside. Jules was laid to rest beside his mother. The photograph carried across newspapers and news reports on the usual channels worldwide.

In El Paso-Juarez, Manuel Estrada stared at the picture. The big, black guy in the centre of the three pallbearers on the left side of the coffin triggered a thought.

Son of a bitch. I wonder…

He called his right-hand man. “Get that kid in here, the one who came to me after the takedown at the hacienda. The one the black hombre spoke to. Yeah. Now.”

The boy held no fear as he appeared in front of the big boss. Estrada pointed to the newspaper on the desk.

“Is this the one who gave you the message for me?”

The boy peered at the paper for a few moments.

“Si, Senor Estrada. He’s the one. For sure.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“There, Senor. Look, the diamond stud in his ear. Besides, he’s an ugly hombre too, no? Who could forget that face?”

The drug boss roared and slapped his leg.

“Ugly? Oh, yes, he’s ugly alright. I think he’s so ugly, he’d be better off dead.” Another roar at his own humour.

“Okay, get back to work. Here.”

He rolled off a couple of hundred-dollar bills and gave them to the boy. When the lad had gone, Estrada gave further instructions to his honcho.

“I’ve been thinking all along the hits must have been coming from the DEA bastards. Get this photo out on the streets. We need some reliable information on this hombre. His name, any word on his movements, anything. Then we’ll prepare a present for him, no? Move.”

The lieutenant left a thoughtful boss behind him as he summoned his own men to start the process of sniffing out information on the black dude.
