CECTLI

 I was teased for being an Albino in School.... what's worse  a Mexican-American albino. I spent time with my Uncle Goyo and Uncle Cuco. (Gregorio and Refugio). Dad had me help them with their 10  acres of corn, squash, pumpkins and watermelon.  It kept me busy. They called me CECTLI which is Nahuatl for Snow.  The kids called me Snowy,  Snow Joe, Snowflake, Snowboy or Frosty.   Orla called Luis Angel Macias. My full name. Why? She's an Irish exchange student. I suppose that's why. Uncle Goyo would go missing. He left a laptop with me. I was allowed to read the contents.  Pingo was a gang leader. He was providing killers for the government.  Some government psychopath called Mouse was recruiting. It turns out he was the recruiter. All sorts of supernasty stuff. One day Uncle Cuco asked me to look for the egg of a Garza....a heron. He told me if I found one and an egg I would be granted the power of Invisibility. We are country folk...far...
