The unfinished building on West Street in Laredo.
Allen Zhang drove to the wasteland, parked the car, and Zorro looked at the scarred building, dilapidated and partly puzzled, "What are we doing here?"
Allen did not answer Zorro. Instead, he stared at the unfinished building overrun by weeds, a place where even birds wouldn’t poop -- more like a village within the city. The ground was littered with needles and cigarette butts, undeniably a suitable spot for clandestine dealings on a normal day.
He had Zorro get out of the car with him as Allen took out his phone. Following the daily intel, they walked down the slope and straight to a row of sewage pipes. No one was around, but they saw an abandoned sewage outlet patched up with iron sheets.
They could faintly hear shouting and banging from inside.
Zorro exclaimed in surprise, "Is someone buried alive in there?"
With schadenfreude, he said, "Probably just some debtors who can’t pay back, or someone who has crossed the wrong people and had their life bought by others. If I were you, I’d definitely not meddle in others’ business."
"If I did as you suggested, you would’ve already died from excessive blood loss," Allen snorted.
"You’re right. I’m just too lucky! Thank God," Zorro said gratefully.
"Better to thank me than God."
