Do you need anything else?”

There was no one in sight. The rest of his colleagues had gone to lunch, so Rangel motioned for Romero to keep the change and offered him a cigarette.

“Did you see Taboada eating?”

“Of course I did: he was in the Rose Garden, talking with Professor Edelmiro.”

“Edelmiro Morales?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you sure?”

“Why would I be wrong?”

Professor Edelmiro was the leader of the Professors’ Union for the entire region.

“Who else was with him? Cruz?”

“Mr. Cruz, no. Some other people I don’t know, and Mr. Chávez.”

“All right,” said Rangel, “get me a cup of coffee.”

It seemed strange to him that El Travolta would be seen with Professor Edelmiro. He rolled this news around in his head for a few minutes. Then he reviewed his notes from the Bar León, until he had his first hunch. Hmm, he said to himself, before I make any moves, I have to find more evidence. If I want to arrest that guy, I’ve got to come around the back way, so he doesn’t have a chance to retaliate. He wanted to light a cigarette, but the lighter slipped out of his grip: Fuck. His hands were all chapped and he was losing feeling. If he kept up like this, they were gonna start bleeding again.

At 4:30, he saw Chief García come back and then go into his office. Lolita went in, too, her heels clicking behind him. “Sir, they called from City Hall—” And she closed the door.
