In the taxi home I was consumed by a deep smouldering rage, a rage directed at the shadowy figure whose plan it had been to put the deadly seeds in G’s bowl. Was it a vindictive act of revenge because she had detected the drugs at Senhora Gomes’s house? Or did they fear that she would sniff out a more incriminating cache, one that would point a finger at the identity of that shadowy figure?

I let myself into a house that no longer felt like home. Without G, there was an emptiness, an absence. Whether Gorgonzola lived or died, I now had more than a professional interest in tracking down the man who ran this drug cartel. As far as I was concerned, it had become a crusade. My revenge for this attack on Gorgonzola would be to track him down and bring him and his organization to justice.

No time like the present. Firmly putting aside any inclination to huddle in a chair and weep, I flicked through the telephone book till I found Senhora Gomes’s number. She answered on the second ring. Had she been expecting a call, perhaps from Luís?

I spoke quickly. I must get my message across before she put down the phone. ‘Senhora, I am the inglesa whose cat found the suitcase.’ I heard the quick intake of breath. ‘When we met, I warned you Luís was in grave danger. If you want to save him, you must get him to contact me immediately. It is essential that I speak to him tonight. My house is the old house on the Estrada Monumental, next to the big kapok tree. If he wishes to telephone, my number is …’ I repeated it twice. ‘I will wait for his call till midnight.’

On the other end of the line there was silence, then a click as the phone was put down. All I could do was wait – and hope.
