Halfway through the song, the Mariachi stopped. "General," he said quietly. "Do you remember a woman named Carolina Reyes?"
He played that night for free. The cantina fell silent. Even the flies stopped buzzing. And when the last note faded, the Mariachi stood up, slung his weapon—his guitar—over his shoulder, and walked into the darkness.
The Mariachi was brought in blindfolded, his guitar case chained to his wrist. He felt the cool marble floor, smelled roasted pig and gun oil. When the blindfold dropped, he didn't flinch. He just sat on a stool, crossed his legs, and began to play.
The room went cold. Marquez's hand moved to his jacket.
