resting it on
the floor.
    Lowell stood and faced Xochi's captors.
She stared them down. "I said, let...her...go."
    Still hanging between the two men, Xochi
peered up at them. Confusion mixed with — fear? — crossed
their faces. The officers relented and set Xochi's feet on the ground.
    "That's right, chota," Xochitl
mocked.
    Lowell gingerly walked toward Captain
Burch. She was favoring her left leg, and she gasped when she put too much
weight on it.
    "Captain. This is my CI, Xochitl
Magaña. This is her bar," Officer Lowell said. "Officer Torres has
sustained a bullet wound. We're waiting for EMTs to arrive. ACTF should secure
the dogs."
    Captain Burch mulled over Lowell's
report. He leaned into her and whispered in her ear. Lowell nodded, turned and
slowly walked toward Xochitl.
    "Why is everyone standing around,"
Burch yelled. "Do your jobs!"
    The cantina was buzzing with activity
once more. Paramedics equipped with a gurney rushed in, nearly bowling Xochitl
over. Deciding it would be better to get out of the way, she waved Officer
Lowell over to the bar.
    Lowell winced as she approached the counter.
She motioned for Xochi to turn around. Xochi was confused. Lowell rolled her
eyes and pulled out a pocketknife.
    Oh.
    Xochi turned around and held her arms out
as Officer Lowell swiftly cut her ties .
    "Thanks." Xochitl rubbed her
red wrists.
    "Captain Burch wants you to give a
statement down at the station. I'll see someone gets you there." Officer
Lowell began walking toward the door.
    Xochitl didn't move. "Wait, what
about Memo?"
    "I'm not sure. Just a minute."
Lowell pulled her radio off her belt. "Anyone see Guillermo Morales,
a.k.a. El Gallo?"
    "Tell them he went out the window in
the ladies room," Xochi said.
    Lowell raised her hand to quiet Xochi and
spoke into her radio again. "A witness saw him escaping out the ladies
room window of Xochitl's Cantina . "
    Xochitl waited anxiously for someone to
respond. There was static and then a male voice.
    "No. Morales escaped. We have an APB
out on him."
    "What!" Xochitl couldn't
contain herself. She turned to the police officers who had taken over her bar. "How
could you pendejos miss him! He went out the back! You were there! God damn it!"
    From across the room Captain Burch
yelled, "Officer Lowell, take your CI outside. Now!"
    Lowell pulled Xochitl toward the door.
    Xochi reared on her. "You said you'd
get him. You said we'd be safe."
    Xochi could see the shock and hurt on
Lowell's face. She knew the cop had been through the wringer tonight. But she
couldn't bring herself to care. Not now. Not while Memo was still out there.
    Oh, God. Miguel.
    Xochitl struggled to walk. The thought of
her little brother in danger was enough to bring her to her knees. But Officer
Lowell had a tight grip on her and kept her from falling.
    Lowell stopped, transfixed on Officer
Torres who was strapped to a gurney, being wheeled out by the paramedics.
Without another word, Xochitl and Lucy slowly followed behind her wounded
partner into the early morning darkness.

    "Hanna's
almost done reading me the riot act," Lucy said, taking her mouth away
from her cell phone. Xochitl turned left onto Doheny Drive and made the
yackety-yack hand gesture.
    "She's
looking up the declawing doctor." Lucy adjusted
the sun visor.
    "¡Órale!"
Xochitl shouted and pointed to a quaint faux-French coffee house nestled beside
an upscale day spa. "They have the best vanilla lattes!" Xochitl
pulled over and jumped out of the car, leaving Lucy to wrap up her call.
    "The
dogs miss you." Hanna's soft words drifted into Lucy's ear like spoken in
a dream. Lucy gazed at the tall cypress across the street. A large crow hopped
from treetop to treetop.
    "It's
time," Hanna continued when Lucy didn't respond. "We'll talk later."
Hanna hung up
