Greed + Lonely = Trouble

     Interesting adventures can ultimately begin under the tunnels of the Texan-Mexican Border.  Here we find young Colombian Manuel, smuggling himself into the United States of America...In the instant that he steps on US soil and breathes in "free" air, he will transform himself into Clifford (Cliff for short).  Cliff is young, young enough to be in homeroom somewhere during the early hours of the morning.  He has ambition though, maybe some may say more ambition then the natives?  Anyhow, as a maturing young Man, Cliff starts his employment for an up and coming Local Business.  He is a hard working and loyal employee, he does everything asked of him regardless of the difficulty of the task.  He never complains, he's eager to learn.  He soon there after meets Consuela...she too is a Colombian (23twentythree23 years ago).  She has been married for approximately half a decade (she did so in order to be given citizenship).  She has a young son.  Cliff and Consuela soon become an item...
     As Cliff achieves his promotions within his workplace, his relationship with Consuela has evolved to a spousal level...in order for them to actually get married, Consuela will need to divorce her husband Jeff.  He may not be happy about this, but this marriage was always about papers (marriage typically is).  Jeff and Consuela divorce, Consuela accepts Cliff as her Husband (Five5Five).  At this point in Cliff's life he is the prototypical success story.  He has businesses that are successful in The United States of America, as well as Colombia.  Cliff also has residence in both countries...Something is amiss though, Cliff hears whispers.
     Max is an older man, he has a military background with connections in both America and Colombia.  Max has been hired by Cliff to pay a little extra attention to Consuela...she has been frequenting Colombia and performing some curious activities.  Max is extremely attentive, he notices that Consuela is disguising her financial transactions with Cliff's authorization.  Max then traces elements of Cliff's money back into Colombia, where Consuela was sharing it with Armando.  Who's Armando?  Armando is Cliff's Colombian Financial Adviser.  Armando has been spending several evenings with Consuela as well...he keeps her company (she must be lonely) and tells things that she wants to hear.
*There is an old saying don't believe what you hear and only believe half of what you see*
     Given that in Colombia, wire taps are OK with everyone if you can afford to set them forth...Max is interested in what Armando is saying on the phone.  Turns out Armando has several women that he keeps in close company...Seems as if Armando is Busy...Bad Armando!!!Bad Armando!!!  Cliff feels betrayed by Consuela...Consuela acted stupid and foolishly.  Consuela is about to get her second divorce.  Bye Consuela, so long Armando...Better luck next time Manuel (how do you think Jeff feels?)...Great job Max, as always!
