Castillo broke the connection, looked at the cellular for a moment, and then pushed an autodial button.
"?Si?"
"Alfredo?
"Si."
"Karl, Alfredo. I need a service."

"I'm on my way to the German Hospital. Someone at the American embassy not only got the crazy idea that there is some sort of White House agent down here, and that I am that agent, but he told the press."
"Herr Gossinger, you mean?"
"Probably Castillo. Anyway, I understand that the press is all over the hospital…"
"Then, my friend, I suggest you stay away from the hospital."
"I have to see Mrs. Masterson; and the ambassador's going to meet me there."
There was just a moment's hesitation.
"You're at the Four Seasons, right?"
"Yes."
"You have an embassy car?"
"Right."
"I have a car in the basement garage."
"The embassy car is there."
"Very well. Go to the basement and get in your car. My man will make himself known to you. Follow him to the hospital. I will arrange for you to enter via their service basement."
"Thank you."
"When you finish your business with Mrs. Masterson-I presume you heard about the lying in state and the decoration?"
"I'm not sure Mrs. Masterson wants to go along with that. That's one of the reasons I have to see her."
"May I ask the others?"
"I want to introduce her to the female agent I had sent from Washington, and I want to confirm her travel plans. And if you're going to be there, I want to introduce the other Secret Service agent to you."
"I'll see you here shortly, then."
"You're at the hospital?"
"I thought your security man would like to hear our security plans for the Catedral Metropolitana."
"And so would I. I'd also like a look at the place."
"I'll see you here, then, shortly."
Was that tone of voice a "yeah, sure"? Or an "I don't know about that"?
