Enemy Territory

Oranges, apples, and Mexican beans

Josefina was spending the whole day organizing her photo collection. Why? The FBI told her that an agent was coming to talk to her. The agent did not need to see the clues to her family fortune. Josefina was also baking Mexican Beans. These beans are Josefina's specialty. She decided that she could charm the agents with beans. Who doesn't like beans? 

Josefina realized she had to open up about the case. It would rightfully be hers, that treasure. She would see to it that it would be in safe, protected hands. Not under heavy guard. Never. It should be up to her. It should be. 

After the beans had gone into the decorative platter, Josefina hid the article about her daughters death. Lupe would not like agents peeking into what she always wanted to find for herself, or her death.

Evvy knocked on the door. Three sharp raps like the officials do. Of course, Evvy was the closest thing to an official that Josefina would ever see. The door slowly opened.

"It's the U.S. Government. Let me in," Evvy said in her most serious voice. 

"One second please."  The door opened, and Evvy walked in. The door shut quickly behind her.

"Hello Josefina," said Evvy. "I have met you before. My name is Evvy."

"Evvy?  Why did you come here earlier?" Questioned Josefina.

"To drop off a package from my mother," Evvy said.

"Of course, my dear Evvy. I think that you are here for the case?"

"Yes, to be exact, Lupe's fortune."

"Who is this other helper?"

"He is not here with me now." Evvy said. "I have never met him before."

"Oh, that is alright. Would you like some of my Mexican Beans? I made them for you!" 

"I just ate, but I'll try," said Evvy.

Just as Evvy sat down to eat, She and Josefina heard three sharp raps on the door, and a deep voice say,

"Open up! This is the U.S. Government!" 

He was here.
