CHAPTER 39
THE JOURNAL
“My god, Carlos. Your mother was involved in this all those years ago? Are you okay?”
Carlos ignored her question, ran into his bedroom and returned with a notebook. He prodded Blanca to the couch as he flipped the pages of what looked like a journal.
“What do you have there?”
Carlos took a moment to straighten a curl at the edge of the rug. His throat was parched and his stomach tight with disgust. As he had so many times, he wished his mother was still here to set things straight.
“I got this journal from my father after I confronted him. He had kept it hidden in the garage, and mentioned never reading it. I don’t know if I believe that.” He sighed. “It has details in here about Antonia and her involvement in s****l exploitation.” He continued to flip pages.
