Charlie Martz And Other Stories (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
It had turned off the highway a moment before and now came trailing a swirling cloud of fine dust and with a rattling sound of stones striking the underbody. The three men stood at the edge of the road waiting for the vehicle to pass. But when it seemed almost to be going by, its front end dipped suddenly and it came to a skidding stop in the gravel. Eladio saw Sherman David at the wheel, sitting low in the seat but with his elbow on the window ledge. A girl in a tan sunback dress sat next to him. She was holding a highball glass, which she passed to Sherman David as he raised his right hand. He glanced down at a clipboard propped against the steering wheel, then up, and said, “I’m looking for Eladio Montoya.” The man nearest David muttered something in Spanish, shaking his head. He looked around, as did the two with him, and when he saw Eladio standing close by, his eyebrows went up and he said, “You’re right here!” And to Sherman David, “That’s him, right here.” “You’re Eladio Montoya?”
