"They weren't taking us seriously," Luca replied.

"How do you even know how to use a gun?" I asked.

"I've been doing this a long time, Ells," he told me.

"Couldn't you have shot Guillermo?" I asked. "He was clearly the leader."

"You don't fuck around with Guillermo unless you want death."

"We go to Miami. Drop of the shipment and then I'll take you to the airport," he said.

"Are you not coming with me?" I asked.

"I have to go back to Mexico," he told me.

"Why? It's dangerous," I said.

"We pissed Guillermo off and he's not just gonna let it go," he explained. "I can't go back to him after this unless I can get approval from the boss."
