At first I thought Tony might just be a slob, that is until I saw the drawers were
almost empty and the bed was made. The closet door was open, with empty hangers
on the rod and an assortment of clothing and shoes on the floor.
Scattered photographs littered the top of the bureau. I was examining them when
Elena entered the room. Her eyes opened wide as she looked around the room.
“Elena, was Tony’s room normally this messy?”
She shook her head. “I don’t think so. At least not from what I saw the few times he
left his door open.” Then she saw the photos in my hand.
“It might not be cool for me to be snooping around in here, but these photos were
out in the open,” I said. “Some of these are pretty old. Probably family members. Do
you know who any of these people are?”
Elena picked up a color photo of a younger version of Rafael and another guy, both
clad in jeans and t-shirts.
“This one I know. That’s Rafael and Tony. When Tony first came to America.”
The family resemblance was pronounced. Both had the same dark hair, dark eyes,
and lean build. Unless the camera lied, Tony had a more prominent, crooked nose —
almost as if it had been broken. Without a doubt, Rafael was the taller and more
handsome of the two men.
“How long has Tony been here?”
“I think five years. Rafael told me Tony came to study computers and didn’t finish.
When his visa ran out, he just stayed.”
