Raguel was deeply affected by Riesgo’s tangible shock and desolation. “Are you hurt, Padre?” Raguel asked gently, pushing up from his prone position. There was a drawn-out silence, then, “No.” “You were not gone long.” “Really? It seemed like forever.” Riesgo sighed heavily. “I thank God something

It’s starting to get cold at night.” He moved to sit up. “How’d it go?” “To shit.” She slid over to the coffee table. “I’m going to need your help.” “Tell me what you want me to do.” CHAPTER 19 In search of privacy, Eve took the elevator down to the marble-lined foyer of her condominium complex.
