Joe and Bern caught as much as him, seemingly trapped on the ledge. He jumped into the fog beneath, and Leaphorn stupidly adopted in opposition to Bern’s recommendation. He was too locked into the pursuit.

In the long run, it turned out she was proper, as she managed to reach simply when the person she described as like a father to her wanted her to.

Her response to Tomas’s homicide made it appear to be they’d some relationship. If that was the case, why did she sic Chee on him to start out with?

After Rosemary left, an armed B.J. burst in on Jim, accusing him of getting an affair together with her. Chee shortly disarmed him and set him straight on their relationship.

B.J. then tried to rent Jim to search out out who Rosemary’s lover was however was rebuffed. Apparently, that is not the sort of personal eye Chee needs to be.
