keeps the closest eye on me / is most aware of what's happening with me Explanation: "Al tiro" on its own means "inmediatamente" in many Latin American countries ( http://dle.rae.es/?id=ZrTpmUI|ZrVfwO7 ), and "estar al tiro", in Mexico, means "estar, quedar, etc, algo o alguien muy bien, listo o preparado para algo" ( http://dem.colmex.mx/moduls/Default.aspx?id=8 ), but "estar al tiro con alguien" seems to mean to be aware of or pay close attention to or be up to date with someone. On "Mario", an illegal seller of records on the Mexico City underground/subway: "pienso que cualquier trabajo requiere cierta pericia.

It refers to the woman ("la") whose name is redacted; he doesn't want her to be find out what's happening, and it's difficult to keep it from her because she keeps a very close eye on him: "está muy pendiente de él". |
