In the kitchen, Gertrudis wasn't having much<br />

success getting Sergeant<br />

Trevino to fix the syrup the way she wanted,<br />

no matter how many orders<br />

she gave him. She was sorry she had ever<br />

entrusted Trevitio with such<br />

an important mission; when she had asked a<br />

group of rebels who knew how<br />

much a pound was and he had fired back the<br />

answer that a pound was 460<br />

grams and a pint was a quarter of a liter, she<br />

thought he knew a lot<br />

about cooking, but he didn't.<br />

In fact, this was the first time Trevitio had<br />

ever failed in something<br />

with which she had entrusted him. She<br />

remembered one occasion when he<br />

had had to uncover a spy who had infiltrated<br />

the troop.<br />

A prostitute who was the spy's mistress had<br />

learned of his activities,<br />

and before she could denounce him, he had<br />

gunned her down<br />

cold-bloodedly. Gertrudis was returning from<br />

taking a bath in the<br />

river and found her in the throes of death.<br />

The prostitute managed to<br />

gasp out a clue to identifying him. The traitor<br />

had a red mole shaped<br />

like a spider between his legs.<br />

Gertrudis couldn't ask to inspect all the men<br />

in the troop, since not<br />

only could that be taken the wrong way, but<br />

the traitor could get<br />

suspicious and flee before they got to him.<br />

So she entrusted the<br />

mission to Trevillo.<br />

Even for him it was no easy task. What<br />

they'd think about him was<br />

worse than what they'd think about her if he<br />

went prying into the<br />

crotches of all the men in the troop. So the<br />

patient Trevino waited<br />

until they got to Saltillo.<br />

The minute they got to town he took on the<br />

job of going to every single<br />

brothel and gaining the confidence of every<br />

single prostitute, using<br />

who knew what kind of arts. But the main<br />

thing was that Trevitio<br />

always treated them like ladies, he made<br />

them feel like queens. He was<br />

gallant and cultivated1 he recited verses and<br />

poems while making love<br />

to them. Not a one had escaped his<br />

clutches, and they were all ready<br />

to work for the revolution.<br />

In that way, with the help of his friends the<br />

whores, it didn't take<br />

more than three days to uncover the traitor<br />

and set a trap for him.<br />

The traitor went into a room in the<br />

whorehouse with a peroxide blonde<br />

named "HuskyVoice." Trevino was waiting<br />

behind the door.<br />

Trevino kicked the door shut and then, in an<br />

unprecedented display of<br />

violence, he killed the traitor, by beating him<br />

to death. When there<br />

was no more life left in him, Trevillo cut off<br />

his testicles with a<br />

knife.<br />

When Gertrudis asked him why he had<br />

murdered him so brutally and not<br />

simply dispatched him with a bullet, he<br />

replied that it had been an act<br />

of revenge.<br />

Years ago, a man who had a red mole in the<br />

shape of a spider between<br />

his legs had raped his mother and his sister.<br />

The latter had confessed<br />

before dying. So by doing this Trevitio had<br />

restored the honor of his
