“What?!”
Hernan’s eyes almost jumped out of their sockets when Natalie told him her favor. She wanted him to be the witness against the crime his friends committed about fourteen years ago.
“You heard me, right?”
Hernan kept quiet, analyzing every term Natalie was offering him. If he helped her, he would be listed under witness protection and would be safe. But he didn’t want to betray his friends either, so he lied.
“I don’t know what crime you’re talking about. My friends and I didn’t commit any crime.”
“Stop protecting your nefarious friends,” Manolo said. “I was there, and I saw everything you did to Ronoele.”
“I didn’t do anything to Ronoele.”
“I know. You didn’t participate, but you didn’t help either. See? Fish are always caught by their mouths, not by their tails.”
