“From Sinaloa Cartel.”
“Next, we have the. . .what did Jean-Pierre call him?”
“The bankster.”
“Yes.” Kaz gently rocked our son back and forth. “The bankster.”
“Meanwhile, J.P. is on his way to be the new broker, since the Alligator Don is dead.”
“Which is all a cute coincidence.”
I quirked my brows. “What do you mean?”
“The victims are Haitian migrants?”
I nodded.
“King David was uneasy about our meeting with Delphine and had a huge investigation done on her, before we planned the trip.”
Shock came out how all of this could connect to Delphine.
“Mysh, did you know that over five million people practice voodoo in Haiti?”
Tension gathered in my shoulders. “I didn’t.”
“That fun fact came from David’s report, explaining why Delphine life’s work has extended far beyond New Orleans and over into Haiti.” Kaz lowered his head and pressed a soft kiss against each of Emilio’s chubby cheeks, eliciting gurgles from our son.
“Do we know what she would do when she went to Haiti?”
“While many reported to David that Delphine would bring tons of boxes over, she also spent her time buying artifacts and ingredients essential for her rituals. She even participated in many ceremonies, suggesting that she has a lot of friends there.” Kaz looked at me. “David saw them as her missions of compassion aimed at supporting the people of Haiti.”
I thought about the recent events this year for that country. “It’s been a lot of political unrest, economic struggles, and natural disasters.”
“Which all halted her trips this year.” Kaz grinned at Emilio. “Misha looked into her finances. Almost fifty percent of her income goes to providing aid, comfort, and spiritual support to the Haitians.”
“Why didn’t you tell me all of this?”
“I did not see how it would relate to her ability to heal you.”
Emilio balled his fist and began sucking on it.
I considered this new angle.
The political instability, characterized by violent protests and government upheaval, had plunged Haiti into a state of uncertainty. Due to that, gang violence had surged, further complicating safe travel and the distribution of aid.
Then, natural disasters—from earthquakes to powerful hurricanes—came along, leaving deep scars on the landscape and its people.
These conflicts would not only have hindered Delphine’s ability to visit Haiti but may have also impacted her practice in New Orleans.
But more so, I bet Delphine’s heart ached for the people of Haiti.
Kaz spoke, “David made note that at times, Delphine had served as a sort of hub for Haitian migrants coming to the US, helping them get not just food and lodging, but jobs and fake visas.”
“Then, she would have heard from the migrants about missing people and probably knows about the whole organ harvesting situation.”
Kaz widened his grin.
“Why are you smiling like that?”
