Chapter 72. EVENT HORIZON

After giving Tito his final instructions for entering the shipping yard, the old man tells Tito that his father [“a man who valued truth”] was shot by “an agent of Castro’s DGI… [a] delusional, paranoid” who later died in a bar fight, likely at the hands of the DGI.

Preparing to leave and wrapped in sixty-feet of black nylon climbing rope under his green jacket, Tito then helps Garreth move the Pelican case, heavy given it is mostly lined with lead before briefly talking to Hollis and understanding “why they would make posters of her.” [541 characters]
