Some Americans had a tendency to sound patronizing with every word. Apparently, Jessika was of that particular sort. No matter, Camila thought, there was little reason for her to become offended by the woman. In her eyes, it simply wasn’t worth the trouble this once.
Amused, she closed the decanter and sat it down on the desk before lifting her glass. “He appears to be acquainted with some rather,”
pausing for a second, she searched around for an appropriate word to use in English that wouldn’t offend the prim and proper Jessika Thrice, “unsavory characters.
You see, it appears that he has some links to the cartels. Apparently human trafficking is the order of business.”
Bile threatened to make its way back up from her stomach and she forced it down with a sip from her glass. “I don’t suppose that’s something your voters would care much for. Oh, he doesn’t get his hands dirty himself, of course, but the money is tied to him.”
Carefully, Camila studied the other woman’s reaction to all she was disclosing. “The Cartels are paid to bring in people across the border. Then your…friend… appears to be paying them to turn in that same unfortunate lot. Your border-hoppers are then stopped before ever actually making it through. The Cartels make double the profit, and your opposition looks good in the eyes of the American people.
Now, should this come out and become public knowledge, it’s not likely to help his campaign. Yours, however, could profit quite nicely.”
