Across the harbor Karen saw some cruise ships, a park, and a small fort. The Malecón was behind the buildings, but she could see the bell tower of the church that Mrs. Vega had shown them today, and the dome of the capítol. She looked around at Mario, who was putting his flute together, and at Angela, who hadn't taken her eyes off Mario. Karen jumped off the low rock wall and sat beside her. Mario turned the pieces of his flute to get them to line up right. He ran his fingers up and down the keys, then put the flute to his mouth. His lips looked like he was kissing the mouthpiece, and the music came out beautiful and sad. His black eyebrows lifted, and he moved with the music. Angela stared up at him like this was the first time in her life she'd ever heard a flute. Danny wasn't there. As Mario was driving through downtown, Danny said to let him out, he wanted to hook up with Giovany. Angela told him he was going to get in trouble, but Danny didn't care, as usual. After Danny got out, Mario continued through a tunnel under the harbor, then up a hill to La Fortaleza de la Cabana.
