.That spresuming Paraguay isn t that much different from Bolivia or Venezuela.OrCuba, for that matter, although not everybody on my team has had the chance tosee how Castro has fucked up the land of my ancestors. Colin told me he d been to Cuba, Castillo said. He did fine in Cuba as a Brazilian, D Elia said. In Venezuela not so manyPage 179 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlblack-skinned folks he also passed himself off as a Brazilian.He speakspretty good Portuguese. He also speaks pretty good Pashtu, Castillo said. So do I, D Elia said in Pashtu. Darby and I were talking about that.Wemust have just missed each other over there, sir. You knew Alex there? D Elia nodded. And Mrs.Sieno and I have been exchanging Cuban war stories, he said. Under those circumstances, welcome, welcome, Captain, Castillo said. Justas soon as we get something to eat, I ll bring you up to speed on what s goingdown. He turned to Susanna Sieno. How about mustering the troops in the quincho, Susanna? Everybody? Castillo nodded, then understood her question. Ask Sergeant Mullroney and Lieutenant Lorimer to come watch us eat first,please.Then muster them in the quincho. Sit down, please, Sergeant Mullroney, Lieutenant Colonel C.G.Castillo saidpolitely when the Chicago detective came into the dining room of the mainhouse with Lorimer. While we talk about what we re going to do with you. Mullroney sat down across the table from Castillo; Lorimer sat down betweenTorine and Delchamps.A plump, middle-aged woman and a younger one began distributing ham and eggsand plates of rolls.Her daughter? Castillo wondered.Whoever they are, they wouldn t be here if Susanna didn t trust them.Castillo pushed a coffee thermos across the table. Has Charley here been a good boy, Eddie? Castillo asked. A very good boy, sir, First Lieutenant Edmund Lorimer said. Then we mustn t forget to give him a gold star to take home to mommy I mean,the mayor mustn t we? No, sir, we mustn t.I ll be sure to do that.May I ask when that will be,Colonel? First thing tomorrow morning, Castillo said.He looked at Mullroney for along moment, then asked, No comment, Sergeant? You know the mayor s not going to be happy if you send me home, Colonel, Mullroney said after a moment. I guess not, Castillo said. But the situation here already bad got worseabout an hour ago, which leaves me with two choices.Making the mayor unhappyby sending you back home, or watching this operation blow up in my face which,as you know, Sergeant, means in the President s face which is not really anoption. Lorimer just told you I haven t been giving anybody any trouble, Mullroneyprotested. That s because Lieutenant Lorimer has been sitting on you, under my orders totake you out if you even looked like you were thinking of doing something youshouldn t.So you behaved, and you get to go home alive with that gold star Iwas talking about. You really don t want to piss off the mayor, Colonel, Mullroney said. No, I don t, and I don t think I will.Making him unhappy and pissing him offare two different things.Do you know what we mean by a Gold Star for Mommy,Sergeant? Mullroney didn t reply, and his face showed embarrassed confusion. I will send a letter to the mayor with Colonel Torine, Castillo said, withcopies to the President and the director of National Intelligence, saying howmuch we appreciate his offering us your services, and how hard you have triedto be of use, but that I have reluctantly concluded you just don t have theinvestigative, analytical, and other skills necessary, and that I decided thebest thing to do to ensure the success of the operation was to send you home. Page 180 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html You sonofabitch! Mullroney said.Castillo went on as if he hadn t heard him: Now, that will almost certainlymake the mayor unhappy, but I think if he s going to be pissed off at anybodyit will be at you, Sergeant Mullroney, for not being able to cut the mustard.I don t think that will make you too popular with Special Agent Timmons sfamily, either. Mullroney locked eyes with Castillo but didn t say anything. Permission to speak, sir? Lorimer asked.Castillo appeared to be considering that before he made a Come on with itgesture
