Juan threw his hands up. "I mean no harm."

Liza tugged at Fermin's sleeve. He looked down at her and slowly lowered the dagger. "I'm taking her with me. If Jeffrey has any problems, he can talk to me."

He went inside and grabbed Liza's suitcase.

"I don't..." she protested.

Liza glanced at Juan and blurted, "Just talk to him."

"Are you done talking?"

"Yes."

"Did it go well?"

"Pretty well."

"What did you talk about?"
