Damn, I should have clarified. Let me know if I need to retype part of my post (I'm crashing on the bed with the laptop, not the best position for typing).
Harris was Ramos's assistant back in an earlier post (when he first found out Vivian was out of jail).
The man in the hotel room was the son-in-law. Aaron's bomb took out the son-in-law and two of Harris's men. Does that make sense now?
And Harl, the Ashley reference was another GWTW joke. I actually had no idea Ashley was a boy's name until a few chapters in. I thought I was reading some sort of weird lesbian romance.
