VENEZUELA DIARY PART 2

Passport, money, everything still here. hard not to be angry, i stormed down to reception. Ok where is la bamba, and who is Jose?

I shouted at him, accidentally spitting some of last nights alcohol, a small gob landing on his moutstache. 'Cool it' i thought and composed myself. Better to play the game to get the result. 'I am sorry Senor, she is gone from this town' She gone with some very bad men. But they pay you no? they paid me yes. But i want her back all the same. 'Where did she go? how do i find her?
