Andrew Chew has just arrived in Albuquerque from Malaysia. He’s greeted by Pedro Tirado, a friend of his missing sister, Girly Hossencofft. Chew says he has come to United States for “clearance”, the beginning of the process of getting her estate in order. Although she is still considered alive under the law (because her body has not been found), Andrew and the rest of her family say they are prepared “for the worst.”
