Chon follows Lado away from the meeting.

Man drives to an apartment complex down in Dana Point Harbor, goes in, and is there for about an hour.

Chon thinks about going in after him.

Do it right here, right now.

But knows he can’t.

Lado comes out the same time as a woman. Nice-looking babe, maybe thirty, maybe not yet. Lado gets into his car, the gash gets into hers.

Chon makes a mental note of her license plate, then picks Lado up.

Tracks him to a landscaping company in SJC.

Lado goes into the office in back.

So when he’s not trimming heads, Chon thinks,

He trims hedges.
