about a week later , though , ramon had hopped a freight car and headed east.-he had no specific destination in mindhe just wanted to be as far away from the drug smuggling ring as possible.-he had tried to talk pablo into going with him , but he had elected to stay.-he had first thought to lose himself in a big city , maybe louisville , but had decided he might be less visible in a rural setting.-he had finally ended up at the wroe place and found fulltime work with ed.-he liked his job and the people and he did n't have to worry where he would be sleeping every night .
