Chapter 9: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sr. Hierba de Trigo

Chapter 9

Right as we crossed into Guatemala, we got stopped at what looked to be a makeshift checkpoint in a deserted area. We'd driven down a few main roads without incident, and through a few neighborhoods where folks looked at us funny. But now, with trees flanking the road, we got halted.

In the middle of the street was a black Hummer. Scattered about it stood five armed men in battle gear. I looked at Hector.

"Don't look at me! I don't know what to do."
