Jose Herrera Duarte was busy!
Busy collecting money.
He had dealings with the Gulf Group, Juárez, and Sinaloa.
As the Judicial Police Commander of Baja California, he had held the position for a long time, all thanks to being "sensible."
When the Tijuana Benjamin brothers were in power, he provided them with police anti-drug intelligence, indirectly or directly leading to the sacrifice of many colleagues.
But his interests in Lower California were so entrenched that even Governor Rafael Max, who died in the "bathroom," had to yield to him to a certain extent.
In his own mansion, after he had just gotten acquainted with the finer points of life with several female models, he lay in bed smoking when he heard the phone ring.
On the bedside table there were four or five telephones.
Red was for Juarez, white for Sinaloa, black for the Gulf Group, and the other colors were less important.
The white one was ringing.
