... He was breathing hard. "We got to kill some Find a place." He looked at the girl. “What the f*ck is it you want, manita?” He showed her the 45 just in case she hadn't seen it.
She turned and looked to the back of the lot, motioning with one hand as she did, and spat out a stream of Spanish that was lost on me. At the end, I caught the gist of it, she was asking for a ride. I expected the Mexican to tell her no, maybe even shoot The guy had a bullet hole in his head and he was walking around. What could you expect from a guy like that?
When she finished she planted her feet firmly and locked eyes with him, occasionally turning to include me in her stare down.
“Okay, okay, manita. You are a little... What the f*ck is it,” he turned to me smiling, ”Loca? …”
“Crazy,” the girl said, but she laughed.
“Yeah, you got that right, manita, loca, big crazy... Alabama loca… You think I'm out here playing games in the middle of the night? These mens... Compadres, they want to kill me.“ He raised the gun. “Maybe you too.”
