Mexico Time. Jim Nash Adventures, #24

Jim Nash is disparaceido in Mexico. He's looking for something he left behind years ago. So far, all he's been able to find is a missing person about to be robbed by a malecón bandido. The good deed turns him into a caretaker for someone who doesn't listen, doesn't drive, and refuses to board a flight home. He's thrown off his game when she insists she will leave with the one that brought her. That means Jim. He trades his armor-plated van for a fast-boat and the pair float down to Cabo in style. That solves half his problem. The other half will be getting out alive.
