As soon as I got back to the Status Room, Joe flagged a display of the interior of Maribel's house in Guatemala. It was being used to keep Rafael and his right-hand man Miguel out of sight and under direct observation in the aftermath of the turmoil of his renouncing of the drug-trafficking organization that he had built. Luis and Manny, two of our paramilitary operatives were also staying there, to guard Maribel and to control Rafael. While Rafael was undergoing memory-imprint therapy under our AI's guidance, the sessions were limited and, so far, too few to make real changes to his character and basic temperament. In Maribel's absence, that was becoming abundantly clear as I watched the video feed Joe indicated.
Rafael with Miguel posturing at his side, were facing Luis and apparently in the middle of a heated argument. Manny stood off to one side, seeming ready to jump in if things went downhill.
