You Talk with Rosario

You ask Rosario why she thinks she made Troy sick. Her hands shaking, she pulls a piece of paper out of a skinny little purse.

On the paper, someone's sketched something that looks like a beaded necklace with a cross.

"That's a rosary," Rosario says. "Troy got a tattoo. I made him get it. Because my name means 'rosary,' right? And, like, he was bleeding. A lot."

"After he got it?" you ask. She nods. "A long time after?" She shakes her head no.

"When did Troy get this tattoo?" you ask her.

"Two days ago," Rosario sobs, and refuses to say anything more about it.

"Do you know the Allingers?" you ask.

"Yeah," Rosario says. "Sure. Kinda. Last year, when they were on vacation, I took care of their iguana. Iggy, right?"
