page 69

....they crossed the   smaller riverlet   to reach an open grassland,  there stood a white house  beyond,  white house with red  roof  covered with moss and overhanging  green branches of the surrounding trees,  the windows  looked dusty and  not been cleaned for quite a while, on the  ground  several heaps of  cut grass and weeds were  left  around 
All tge way  he had kept his mouth shut  and the other two too had remained silent,  the moment the driver stopped the car   , the hooded man  patted on his shoulder,  pointing towards the narrator  with his thumb asked him to speak to him,  he said he could speak English 
What's your deal asked the man in the hood 
No deal 
..hen what were you doing there in the  town 
...He was looking for the bus station 
...Rubbish,  his tone was soft,  you work for Jose  zamora
..He got a shock, that hooded man was smiling now,  he gestured  and the driver got down from the car and started  walking towards the  red roofed white house
