On a weekday morning, with no traffic, the car dealer should have gotten to Aguadilla by now. Instead he is telling Delgado -- again -- that he is on the road, but the traffic... Dios mío. That's the same story he told an hour ago. Delgado sighs, hangs up on the cellphone and says out loud, but more to himself, "He's coming, he's coming, he's coming. That's all he says."
