sparrow hawk red part 2

Once again the title is Sparrow Hawk Red author is Ben Mikaelsen and genre is fiction. and now that i'm deeper into the story Ricky has found out that the drug cartel has a plane that Ricky thinks he can be able to fly and take to his house. he has spent allot more time roaming around mexico as a "ratero"  Spanish for street rat and he is slowly developing a plan to steal the plane. the only reason he wants to take the plane is for his mom who got killed by the drug cartel. for my first question i'm doing has the book changed me and i would say that it has changed my perspective on a few things. for example i didn't think Ricky would go and almost get shot down just so he can get revenge for his mother. so many times has he almost died for revenge. and for the second question if i could ask the author anything i would ask him why is the DEA always in his business because it seems like they never leave him alone. most of the times they are at Ricky house talking and questioning his father.
