The Day of the Dead

Sands leaned up against the building…the pain was more than could be described. Excruciating wasn't enough of a word to even begin to describe what he was going through. Though there was more to the situation than anyone could see…but he could see it...and he was blind. It was starting to sink in…before it had been about pain and revenge and finishing what he had started…now that was finished, and he had to deal with the after effects. That could describe his entire life, not just this latest twist to things. It described perfectly why he couldn't sink into the darkness…his daughter was coming…he had gone too far with a woman and now he was dealing with the after effects…funny how everything in life could be traced to a cause and effect.

He was deep in thought when Jorge said 'See ya later'…his immediate response was 'Fck off' simply because he was deep in thought and he didn't like the feeling that his thoughts were being interrupted.

"Jorge…wait…" He sighed; the boy was standing beside him faithfully and gave him a questioning glance as he called to Jorge. "I need you to do me a favor…" He led on…not giving too much away.

Jorge stopped. "The great Sands needs my help?" He smirked.

"Don't take it that far…I can easily find someone else…it's a matter if you want to be in the loop…besides, you're here now…it's easier than finding someone in this dead, God-forsaken town." Sands shrugged

"Alright…alright already…stop with the sermon…what is it you need? A pretty nurse to dress your wounds?" He joked with a smirk

"I know you're smirking about that Jorge, but right now is not the time to fck the pooch…no, that's not what I need." Sands said dryly.

Jorge rolled his eyes. "Then what is it?" He asked again.

"I need you to meet someone at the airport…her safety is very important right now…for your sake it is the most important thing in the world.." He said with a tone that suggested this could be another 'pork' and 'cook' situation.

"I should have known it would be about a girl.." Jorge sighed.

"Not just any girl…keep that in mind…" Sands warned. He had already researched the earliest flight from the airport near Megan's school to Mexico would arrive around 7:00 a.m. the next morning…the nice thing about the time zones was that she could leave at 7:00 in the morning and be in Mexico at 7:00 a.m. He was particularly fond of things that worked out so well…it kept the balance.

"You need to pick her up at 7:00 a.m. at the airport. Don't keep her waiting and don't you dare let anything happen to her." Sands warned.

"How am I going to know who she is? Do I get a name…anything? And why is she so important?" He asked, still curious as to why Sands would be picking up a girl from the airport…he was thinking a grown woman…a 'friend' of Sands's in some sort of way…not a kid.

"Her name is Megan…you can hold one of those signs like the chauffeurs do…'Welcome to Mexico Megan' type deal. And why it is so important isn't your business at the moment…but if you're half the agent I think you are…you'll figure it out as soon as you see her.." Sands said with a tone of finality, before turning to the boy. "What's your name?" He asked

"Mateo" He replied.

"Alright Mateo, I need you to take me to a nice hotel…not close to this mess though…closer to the airport…as far from this as possible…and we're going to get 3 rooms.." He said, smiling slightly at the boy.
