Chapter 7

The group jumps into the car, where a man and woman greet them. They are a part of El Tiríndaro’s smuggling network. There are pillows in the back, onto which Enrique gladly falls asleep. He’s awoken when their group has to leave the car so that the Blazer can pass through a U.S. checkpoint. They walk out of the way of the checkpoint, and regroup with the Blazer down the road. Enrique falls back to sleep. When he awakes again, El Tiríndaro is gone. Dawn arrives, and Enrique sees how beautiful and clean America is. After leaving the Mexicans somewhere, the driver brings Enrique to a house, where he changes into American clothing.
