Daniela spoke with Dr. Mason. He said that he would contact the Diocese to attain permission to speak with Father Soto, of Santa Teresa de Ávila, for Daniela. He said he would call her back before lunch with the results of the request.
Violet invited Daniela over to Lucy’s place to discuss the events of last night. Lucy’s name badge from work was found. The badge indicated that she worked at Norwegian American Hospital on the 7th floor.
Rudy texted Violet. He urged Violet and Daniela to come over to his pawn shop to talk with him about last night and about Lucy. According to Rudy, Esme has been trying to keep him and Lucy from seeing each other. Rudy also shared that Esme lives in Old Town now and doesn’t understand the Barrio anymore.
Rudy also shared that he was part of Familia. To keep the gang satisfied Benny and Rudy need to give a large cut of their profit from the pawn shop to Familia. Rudy laments his recruitment into the gang, at the same time he accepts the inevitability of the decision.
Rudy thinks that Familia is being torn apart from the inside in an attempt to wrestle power from Josué, their leader. Rudy does not like Josué. Rudy believes that he was followed home last night by someone from the gang, or perhaps the murderer.
When Violet mentioned Francisco Rudy was shocked to hear his name. According to Rudy, Francisco was transferred to Utah sometime during his sentence and hasn’t been heard from in the Barrio for a number of years. Rudy doubts that Francisco has anything to do with Lucy’s disappearance.
Beth texted Daniela to tell her that there was a headline in the local section of the paper about her trip to Logan Square. The headline read: Vatican Investigates Stigmata in Logan Square.
Next session will begin again at Brother’s Pawn.
