Longorio took the letter. read the in

while he spelled out the contents.

Jose hesitated, and the smile van-

characteristic decision. Since Ellis

written Dave Law. telling him that

suit. To be sure, she would have pre-
ferred some place of refuge other than
In Feria. but she reasoned that there
she would at least be undisturbed. and

her. since he was persona non gruta
