Krátky popis
Lola stands next to Garcia while he mans the grill in their craggy
square of backyard.&,nbsp, The barbeque has just begun, and the
women are clustered gossiping, while the men hold sweating beers.
Lola prefers the periphery. Business has been good lately in their
tiny nugget of South Central Los Angeles, where a legit man has two
choices: landscaping off-the-books for West Side white cash, or
sweating through twelve-hour shifts at a factory in
Vernon.&,nbsp, Garcia does not make his living either way. If
Lola were like the other women at her barbeque, she would spend her
work day perched on a padded stool behind a dollar store cash
register.&,nbsp, But Lola is not like the other women in
Huntington Park.&,nbsp, Suddenly: a sharp knock on the front
door, probably a cop. Lola goes to answer it. The man standing
there is Mexican, not Mexican-American, like everybody else
here.&,nbsp, Lola searches his face for a bead of sweat but
comes up empty.&,nbsp, She has never met him, but she knows his
name.&,nbsp, Everyone in this neighborhood knows his
name.&,nbsp, They call him The Collector, and he won’t give
them long.
