If the good professor is right, and they are in the Rio Grande River, and if they follow mark’s advice, (which has never let them down in the past, right??) they will swim to the shore that is in Los Estados Undios. Doubting that they have any documentation at all, they will run into authorities and Mark will be left to go about his business… maybe even Carina, since they both look “American.” But not Gabe. Without documentos para passaporte, he will be taken back to the Mexican side of the river and well, that will be the end of him…
Sorry if that’s a big spoiler, gang… let’s hope there’s another story in store… maybe even run into Jose and Jefe! Now that would be awesome!!
Gabe’s lame guess has me humming a satirical tune from one of my favorite groups, appropriately related to this never ending saga of the Southwest, the Texas based Austin Lounge Lizards and their “Big Rio Grande River.”..snippet of lyrics:
Big Rio Grande River, it flows down to the sea Bringing back my memories of the past
High up on Table Mesa, I feel her nearness close to me
As the evening sun sets in the west.
