Chapter 4.Chapter 4. Pain; Rafael and Luis. Rafael was outside the main entry of the hotel and halfway down the steps before he realized that he had left his gym bag and the rest of his clothes in the room. He had no money and no key. "Shit!" he swore angrily. Too loudly, because a man who was just getting out of his car in the drive turned and looked at the small boy coming down the steps slowly. Rafael gave him a rude stare as he passed. It was a long way back to Miami, to Centerville Plantation. He ambled out to the parking lot and stopped next to the dark Cadillac limousine. It was black in the darkness. Everything had fallen apart. The boy didn't know what to do except to hitch a ride back to Miami. It was getting late and Rafael was sleepy. He yawned and wondered whether he could find somewhere to sleep. |
