He was heading to the kitchen, but halfway down the hall stopped in the doorway of Juan Andrés's room. The three-year-old was asleep on his back, uncovered. The room was dark, the window open. Juan Américo knew how to move in the shadows. He crept in quietly, closed the window, and tucked the boy in with a soft cotton sheet.
In the kitchen, he made coffee, picked up the newspaper, skipped past the front-page headlines and went straight to the Economy section. Then he checked himself in the mirror before heading out. White shirt, lightweight suit, leather shoes. Clean-shaven, hair neatly combed back. He grabbed the car keys, picked up his briefcase, and walked out the door.
Based on the testimony of María de los Ángeles Amato, Juan's wife, before the Parliamentary Investigative Commission.
