Epilogue

Diego, who had been pardoned by De Soto recently found himself eating something that somewhat resembled a cheeseburger in Victoria's tavern beside a melancholy Sargent Mendoza. He had asked Victoria to place meat and cheese between two slices of bread. At first she had looked at him as if he had just admitted to something preposterous such as him being Zorro. After she had honored his request he convinced her to take a bite of the sandwich. She had admitted that it was surprisingly good.

"I wonder if I will ever get married and have a family…" Sargent Mendoza wondered aloud. Diego patted Sargent Mendoza on his shoulder and said," Something tells me that you will." He had found comfort in knowing that his future would be full and exciting, and that his efforts to protect the people of the pueblo would never be forgotten.
