Last August 23, a pair of masked men on a motorcycle stopped in front of the Garcia home in Mayombo, a small village whose homes went underwater in the high tide. One man leaped off the motorcycle and took aim with a pistol. Maximo Garcia, Danica's grandfather, was preparing lunch when he turned to see the intruder. He twisted out of the way, was shot twice in the back and once on the side, and ran limping to the swamps at the back of the house.
