There had to be a last man standing. And it wasnt the cuate in the Bronco begging for water.

Okay, so I shouldn't have fucked with her on the introduction thing. Writing nothing except, Saturday night. You and me. Driving lessons and hot sex ... in her notebook probably wasn't the smartest move. But I was itching to make Little Miss Perfecta stumble in her introduction of me. And stumbling she is. "Miss Ellis?" I watch in amusement as Perfection herself looks up at Peterson. Oh, she's good. This partner of mine knows how to hide her true emotions, something I recognize because I do it all the time. "Yes?" Brittany says, tilting her head and smiling like a beauty queen. I wonder if that smile has ever gotten her out of a speeding ticket. "It's your turn. Introduce Alex to the class." I lean an elbow on the lab table, waiting for an introduction she has to either make up or fess up she knows less than crap about me. She glances at my comfortable position and I can tell from her deer-in-the-headlights look I've stumped her. "This is Alejandro Fuentes," she starts, her voice hitching the slightest bit. My temper flares at the mention of my given name, but I keep a cool facade as she continues with a made-up introduction. "When he wasn't hanging out on street corners and harassing innocent people this summer, he toured the inside of jails around the city, if you know what I mean. And he has a secret desire nobody would ever guess." The room suddenly becomes quiet. Even Peterson straightens to attention. Hell, even I'm listening like the words coming out of Brittany's lying, pink-frosted lips are gospel. "His secret desire," she continues, "is to go to college and become a chemistry teacher, like you, Mrs. Peterson." Yeah, right. I look over at my friend Isa, who seems amused that a white girl isn't afraid of giving me smack in front of the entire class. Brittany flashes me a triumphant smile, thinking she's won this round. Guess again, gringa. I sit up in my chair while the class remains silent. "This is Brittany Ellis," I say, all eyes now focused on me. "This summer she went to the mall, bought new clothes so she could expand her wardrobe, and spent her daddy's money on plastic surgery to enhance her, ahem, assets." It might not be what she wrote, but it's probably close enough to the truth. Unlike her introduction of me. Chuckles come from mis cuates in the back of the class, and Brittany is as stiff as a board beside me, as if my words hurt her precious ego. Brittany Ellis is used to people fawning all over her and she could use a little wake-up call. I'm actually doing her a favor. Little does she know I'm not finished with her intro. "Her secret desire," I add, getting the same reaction as she did during her introduction, "is to date a Mexicano before she graduates." As expected, my words are met by comments and low whistles from the back of the room. "Way to go, Fuentes," my friend Lucky barks out. "I'll date you, mamacita, " another says. I give a high five to another Latino Blood named Marcus sitting behind me just as I catch Isa shaking her head as if I did something wrong. What? I'm just having a little fun with a rich girl from the north side. Brittany's gaze shifts from Colin to me. I take one look at Colin and with my eyes tell him game on. Colin's face instantly turns bright red, resembling a chile pepper. I have definitely invaded his territory.

The crowd as silent,holding their breaths.Hot wind rustled in the trees as the ax gleamed in the sun.Luce could feel that the end was coming,but why? Why had her soul dragged her here? What insight abouther past,or the curse, could she possibly gain from having her head cut off? Then Daniel dropped the ax to the ground. "What are you doing?" Luce asked. Daniel didn't answer.He rolled back his shoulders, turned his face toward the sky, and flung out her arms. Zotz stepped forward to interfere,but when he touched Daniel's shoulder,he screamed and recoiled as if he'd been burned. And then- Daniel's white wings unfurled from his shoulders.As they extended fully from his sides,huge and shockingly bright against the parched brown landscape, they sent twenty Mayans hurtling backward. Shouts rang out around the cenote: "What is he?" "The boy is winged!" "He is a god! Sent to us by Chaat!" Luce thrashed against the ropes binding her wrists and her ankles.She needed to run to Daniel.She tried to move toward him,until- Until she couldn't move anymore. Daniel's wings were so bright they were almost unbearable. Only, now it wasn't just Daniel's wings that were glowing. It was...all of him. His entire body shone.As if he'd swallowed the sun. Music filled the air.No,not music, but a single harmonious chord.Deafening and unending,glorious and frightening. Luce had heard it before...somewhere. In the cemetery at Sword&Cross, the last night she'd been there,the night Daniel had fought Cam,and Luce hadn't been allowed to watch.The night Miss Sophia had dragged her away and Penn had died and nothing had ever been the same.It had begun with that very same chord,and it was coming out of Daniel.He was lit up so brightly,his body actually hummed. She swayed where she stood,unable to take her eyes away.An intense wave of heat stroked her skin. Behind Luce,someone cried out.The cry was followed by another,and then another,and then a whole chorus of voices crying out. Something was burning.It was acrid and choking and turned her stomach instantly. Then,in the corner of her vision,there was an explosion of flame, right where Zotz had been standing a moment before. The boom knocked her backward,and she turned away from the burning brightness of Daniel,coughing on the black ash and bitter smoke. Hanhau was gone,the ground where she'd stood scorched black.The gap-toothed man was hiding his face,trying hard not to look at Daniel's radiance.But it was irresistible.Luce watched as the man peeked between his fingers and burst into a pillar of flame. All around the cenote,the Mayans stared at Daniel.And one by one,his brilliance set them ablaze.Soon a bright ring of fire lit up the jungle,lit up everyone but Luce. "Ix Cuat!" Daniel reached for her. His glow made Luce scream out in pain,but even as she felt as if she were on the verge of asphyxiation, the words tumbled from her mouth. "You're glorious." "Don't look at me," he pleaded. "When a mortal sees an angel's true essence, then-you can see what happened to the others.I can't let you leave me again so soon.Always so soon-" "I'm still here," Luce insisted. "You're still-" He was crying. "Can you see me? The true me?" "I can see you." And for just a fraction of a second,she could.Her vision cleared.His glow was still radiant but not so blinding.She could see his soul. It was white-hot and immaculate,and it looked-there was no other way to say it-like Daniel. And it felt like coming home.A rush of unparalleled joy spread through Luce.Somewhere in the back of her mind,a bell of recognition chimed. She'd seen him like this before. Hadn't she? As her mind strained to draw upon the past she couldn't quite touch,the light of him began to overwhelm her. "No!" she cried,feeling the fire sear her heart and her body shake free of something.

Raymond collected expressions. He repeated them in experimental accents, as if learning a tune. He sounded like an Eighteenth Street Mexican when he said cuate, like a Logan Square cubano when he said comemierda.

Pero una cosa sé que debemos comprender y es que Dios no es nuestro camarada, ni nuestro compañero. Ni mi pipe, ni mi cuate, ni mi cómplice ni mi brother ni mi pofi, ni el maitro , ni El Colochón. El y sus caminos, y su poder, y su autoridad y su gloria, y sus mandatos, y su esencia y su bondad, y su ternura, y su justicia y su santidad están por encima de mí, como el cielo está sobre la tierra.

Bolo de Tilichera: Ya tenés seis años de andar haciéndote la bestia hippie. Ya es hora de que te pongás claro. Vení morite echando verga o morite en un buen patín de demerol, pero dejá de chingar con esas cartas lloronazas que nos hacés la campaña de mandar. Como si aquí estuvieramos en un lecho de rosas, como dijo aquel indio cerote mexicano. Shumo y poeta. Aquí hay muerte a carretadas. Ahora esa mierda se da en matas, como el chichicaste o como la ruda. De los compas ya quedamos muy pocos. Mataron a Efi. Le quebraron el culo el siete de septiembre del año pasado. Como no había compuesto tus pedazos no te había contado. La cosa está color de hormiga. Andamos a salto de mata, en estampida. En cualquier momento nos dan candela. El rompimiento se produjo al fin, las FAR y el Partido se echaron verga, todo se hizo una bola de mierda. Los más culpables son esos viejos cerotes de la dirección del Partido, pues al principio dejaron que los patojos chingamuzas les bailaran las pelotas en la cara y no hincharon los huevos agarrando la mashinga. Esperaron a que todos los cuates chingones se murieran para seguir partiendo el pastel. Cuando vieron que la cosa estaba jodida dieron el vergazo para seguir administrando su agencia de viajes. Todo el mundo se está yendo a la mierda. La consigna general es sálvese el que pueda. Así que 'olvídate mi viejo', como dice Capulina. Tú tranquilo, machete en tu vaina. ¿Qué son esas chingaderas de estar planeando regresar para reincorporarte? ¿Qué vas a venir a hacer? ¿A que te den negra? Mejor hacé cogezones de madrileñas blancotas y hediondas, dejá sembrada semilla de la topada en ese continente viejo y hecho mierda y dejá ya de somatarte el pecho. Esa onda no es así. Esta nota no es religión ni chingadera ninguna. Yo de aquí no voy a salir si no es con las patas padelante. No les voy a dar gusto a esos gringos hijos de puta de que me agarren vivo para que después me deshagan los coyoles a vergazos. Así que ésta puede ser la última que te escribo (parezco el marido de Ufemia, el de la rancherada mexicana cuando recibas esta carta sin razón). Pero así es la bola y ya escogí mi vida y mi muerte. No me hago bolas con la nota esa. Estoy claro. Desde que nos ensartamos en esta movidic ya no me hago ningún problema. Ni estoy chingado a nadie por sus vacilaciones. Vos nunca estuviste claro, siempre te lo dije. Así que olvidate del asunto, ya no le hagás cráneo a esta nota y agarrá tu propia onda. Escribí y dejate de babosadas y dar facha de revolucionario. Vos solamente sos escritor, el mico de la selva como dice el Popol Vuh. Dejá de dar espejo de otra cosa. Dejanos a nosotros los vergazos, la muerte violenta y las chingamuzas. Vos morite de viejo, de cirrosis crónica, bolote de tilichera, cerote, soñador empedernido. La revolución no es un sueño, sabelo, entendelo de una vez, metételo en en la cabezota pelona que debés tener ahora, hacele coco de una vez por todas. La revolución son vergazos y muerte, no carbúrex ni palabras. Sólo el ue está convencido de esa movida puede estar claro en la onda. Vos no. Sabelo dialtiro, deunavez. Si sos chingón chingón terminá la novela que decís que estás escribiendo. Ai cuando nosotros terminemos la revolución te mandamos a llamar, ¿oíste? Te paso al costo el dato que Chucha Flaca se juyó, se fue de juida, se bailón con el pisto de su Sección y exiló a México. La organización lo condenó a muerte por desfalco y deserción. Te lo cuento para que veas que no todos son de a huevo a la hora de rajar ocote que la cosa no es de soplar y hacer botellas. Así que pies de plomo, pisado. Viajá, pisá, chupá, tirá tu conciencia a la mierda, que aquí estamos nosotros muriéndonos para que vos podás escribir, para que todos aprendan a escribir y a comer bien, y a tener casa y trabajo y estar alegres, sin miedo. Quedá con Dios que no hay, así que quedate solo pero contento y pachangero como siempre, LOS COMPAS

She doesn’t tell Andres, of course, about Fabian or the cuates, but what she reveals feels so raw, so true, that it eclipses the fundamental untruth of her omissions.
