Twenty-Five

Trudis interrupted him: Lefty, you’re late, I’m going to read you your horoscope while you get yourself together: “Capricorn: Anything related to learning is in your favor, your planets are aligned to give you good fortune, and your financial situation will improve as long as you think of yourself as rich; in romance, although you ought to keep your heart open, you should remain cautious, an old flame will turn up and who knows if you have the strength to face him or her. If you are a gambler, bet on number eight and choose red, it will pay off.” How about that? Only as soon as you get the dough don’t forget about your Trudis; listen, I’ve got your 7 Up with lemon all ready, I’m saying, because you look like the Indians dragged you off, shall I bring it in? Please, he could not read, could barely see the letters in News from the Empire for thinking about her.

He ate eggs à la Mexicana before turning on his cell phone, which always marked the beginning of his workday. He called Zelda Toledo: Get an arrest order and bring Mariana Kelly in. Did she get away from you? Worse, I nearly got killed. Where do I get one? Write it, sign it, and carry it out, at eleven I’m seeing Laura Frías at the Miró, so do it an hour later, any news? Well, everyone here is laughing at you. No kidding, what did I do now? Someone sent you a bouquet of red roses and the whole headquarters smells of it. It’s yours, a gift, put it on your desk. You had that one well hidden, didn’t you, boss? Don’t speculate, Agent Toledo, did you visit Laura Frías? Last night, that bit of gossip almost made me forget. She told him that Laura had served her guava juice and whole-wheat crackers, that she had not added much except for two details that could be important. Did you know that Bruno’s father wants to be president? Don Carlos Alvarado said something about it, that he could take the place of the party’s current candidate. Well, he’s deep into it, and something like a month ago he asked Bruno to rein himself in, he didn’t want to get attacked for having a homosexual son. Listen to that, and he tells me he hasn’t spoken to him in four years. Something else, boss, lately Bruno took to dressing up as a woman, Laura kept the clothes at her house, she showed me, lovely things. What would he do? Apparently he would go to parties and maybe out on a date with somebody, she couldn’t tell me more. I should talk to his mother, see if she’ll see me today.

Ortega on the line: What’s up, faggot, I already heard, you should do a better job of acting the part, pretty soon people will think everyone on the force is letting rain in the back door. So what, if God knows, let the whole world know.
