In fact, one was standing before him right now as he brought his fingers to his lips and said simply “beautiful senorita” his lips disappearing into the air as he walked up to Jane, politely grabbing her right hand between the two of his hands as his lips kissed the top of her fingers lightly before withdrawing.

Holding up his hand, he waited while a waiter came and delivered two glasses of Moet, the waiter bowing and withdrawing as Pablo again took a look at Jane. He exhaled slowly and said “heaven and its angels” as he said.

“Please tell me how you got involved in racing and how you ended up as part of my bargain?” All interest, he couldnt’ take his eyes off Jane.

James waited until 9:00 PM before we locked everything up. He knew vaguely what direction Jane had taken and resolved to try to sneak and find out.

    Using the critical victimology perspective, this paper has shown the process in which Juan Escobar’s victim status was contested and acquired. He had a loving father, but at the same time, a destructive one who was responsible for the deaths of many people (Escobar, 2016).
