Why didn’t anyone call me?” Raiza could not believe that she was just hearing about this now. Her cousin Juan shrugged. “I don’t know. I found out because my mom called me this morning, when I saw I got a text from you, before I read it, I thought it was about Tia Margie. I guess she had a stroke, or something, I’m not sure. I just know that Tio Frank couldn’t wake her up and called an ambulance.” The hard edges of the keycard that Juan had just handed Raiza dug into her skin as she gripped it tightly. She needed to go and do her job but she also needed to find out if her aunt was okay. “Is she awake now?” “I don’t know,” Juan said, not seeming overly concerned. “Well what did the doctors say?” Raiza was quickly losing her patience for her young, frustrating, cousin. “I don’t know.” Juan shrugged his shoulders again. Okay, new tactic.
