CHAPTER 25: THE BRICKS
*****************************************************
Dom runs across the hall and knocks on Mia's room yelling her name. Mia comes out rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"What is it?" she asks
"Eva, in here?" he asks looking in her room.
"Eva? No, what's wrong Dom?"
He runs downstairs with only his boxers on, looks out the window towards the driveway and her car is gone. Mia quicly makes her way downstairs.
"Dom what's going on?" she's follows him to the kitchen phone. He begins to dial Eva's home number.
"Eva told me last night she was going to Jersey. I wake up and she's gone" as the phone is ringing, someone knocks on the door. Dom hangs up the phone and gets a bad gut feeling. Mia makes her way to the door and opens it. It's Lisa, she walks in with hands infront of her rubbing her hands together. She immediately looks at Dom with sad puppy dog eyes.
"She went alone didn't she?" he already knew the answer to his question.
"Yeah, she told me to tell you that she'll be fine, but she had to care of it on her own" Lisa tries to find any emotion in Dom's stare.
"When did her flight leave?" there is no way he's letting her off that easy.
"Dom she made me promise not to tell you, I'm sorry" he becomes inpatient with her and tries to calm himself down.
"Lisa, Blanca is on her way, if not already in Jersey looking for Eva's little sister. If you don't tell me, someone is gong to get hurt" he's only inches from her face now. Lisa is immediately intimidated by Doms glare and spits out all the info.
***************************** NEWARK AIRPORT 8:20 A.M.********************
*..... Ladies and gentleman thank you for flying American Airlines....*
The passengers begin to vacate the plane. Eva makes her way to the baggage pick-up. She gets her bag and heads toward the rental car office where Lisa made her a reservation for a 2002 Honda CRV. She gets in the car 'Not bad' she thinks looking around at the fully equipped car, she turns it on and makes her way through highway 1&9.
As soon as she's out of the highway she enters downtown, her childhood memories come rushing back. She smiles to herself as she remebers tagging along with Oscar and Mike......Mike, his death was still tourturing her. She shakes the thoughts and continues to drive to her all familar neighborhood. As she became older she understood why they called it "The Brick City", all you could see around you were brick buildings, home complexes, as Letty had called it 'The Ghetto' She grew up in North Newark where the majority of the population were hispanics. She loved it there but circumstances had forced her to leave, the same circumstances that made her return. She pulls up infront of her mothers house and inhales and exhales.
"OK, here we are. Now go inside Eva" she comanded herself, but her feet wouldn't move, she was frozen. Eva's mom had always been strick and very old fashioned. She sits in the car gathering her courage to go inside. A person comes out from the front door and catches Eva's attention. Eva regains control of her body and gets out of the car, walking towards the sidewalk. It was Erica, Eva's little sister, well she was hardly little anymore she was fully developed already for a16 year old. Erica stops and stares at her with a huge smile on her face. Eva returns the smile and Erica runs towards her big sister and jumps in her arms.
"Eve!!!!" she screams the only person who ever called her that. They begin to laugh and fall on the lawn. Eva's mom hears the commotion and walks to the porch with a rag in her hand. She looks over to where the girls are laying. Erica is the first to notice their mother looking.
"Ma! Eva is home!" Erica gets up and pulls Eva up to her feet and walks behind her as she makes her way to her mother.
"Bendicion Ma!" (which means bless me in spanish) her mother smiles and embraces her with tears in her eyes, it had been almost two years since she saw her baby.
"Dios te bendiga hija" (god bless you daughter) she says in spanish. Her mom which name is Gloria, was very fluent in english but it was something she has to say in spanish. She takes Eva's hand and they go inside. As they sit on the table Eva informs her mother that Oscar is in jail again! Which doesn't surprise her mother at all. She also tells her about Mike but leaves out the part of Blanca and the whole accident thing out. She didn't want to worry her uneccesarily.
As always her mother asks her if she has a husband yet. It was always a topic she had to bring up. The idea of mariage scared Eva and her mother knew it, Eva was her child and knew her better than anyone, she was stubborn, independant, hot headed and proud. She reminded her mother of herself about 30 years ago.
"I met someone in California mom, his name is Dominic. We've been together for a little while and it's solid between us" she said proudly. Her mother smiles and raises her eyebrows in curiousity.
"Where is he?" her mother asks.
"He couldn't come, he has a garage and a store he owns and he has to take care of his businesses" Eva says nervously, hoping her mother wouldn't read her face and catch her lie. She was never good at lying to her mom.
"Very well. So I take you are here on vacation" she says almost as a question.
"Yup, maybe me and this one can catch up with things" she says pointing to Erica who is getting a bottle of water out of the fridge.
"Your sister is on vacation from school, so maybe you can keep her out of trouble for the time being" her mother gets up and goes on to wash the dishes.
"Trouble? you've been acting up Erica?" Eva asks taking on the 'Older Sister' tone.
"No! Ma just won't let me do anything, she treats me like a baby. I'm 16 going on 17 and I have to be home by 11pm, it's humiliating!" she says whinning.
"The neighborhood is not what it used to be Erica" her mother says, she turns to Eva and continues "Since you left, gangs have taken over this neighborhood,.... police, they don't even pass by here anymore, they are scared, like us"
"Maybe it's time you moved out of the neighborhood Ma" Eva says in a low voice. Her mother turns to look at her with a defeated look, but turns away and keeps washing dishes.
That night Eva and Erica sleep in the living room watching old home movies and talking about the old times.
"Remeber when Mom punished you for beating me up and then you snuck out" Erica says in a fit of giggles.
"Yeah then you black mailed me and had to do your homewok for a month" Eva says remembering their michiviousness. They both beging to laugh and Eva's phone rings, she pulls it out from her clip and looks at the caller ID
'Unavailable' she reads to her self. 'Oh well if it's Dom she has to explain sooner or later' she thinks.
"Hello?" she says almost expecting to hear Dom's voive yelling on the other end.
"Spending a little quality time with your loved ones are you?" the eerie voice says. Eva closes her eyes for a quick second recognizing Blanca's voice.
"If I am, what's it to you?" she says calm as if speaking to one of her friends, she didn't want Erica to notice anything strange in her voice.
"Enjoy it while you can. I'm coming for her Eva and when I'm done with her neither you or your mother are gonna be able to put her pieces back together" Eva can't control herself any more.
"Stay....... away..... fromher or so help me God, I will kill you.... you hear me .........I'll fucking kill you" Eva hangs up the phone, she was panting from how overexcited she has become. She drops herself on the sofa and Erica is looking at her in shock.
"Who was that?" she asks still sitting on the floor. Eva looks up at the stairs making sure her mother hasn't over heard.
"It..... it was Blanca, she found us again" Eva's eyes were blank like she wasn't really there at the moment. Erica gasps and remains speechless.
"Erica.....I need you to understand that whatever happens to me, is not your fault. Leslie's death was not your fault or mines." Eva makes her way to the floor next to her sister. Erica is sobbing and tries to get the words out.
"She was my best friend, I didn't know.....I tried to stop her but it was too late" she brakes down in tears and Eva grabs her in her arms and begins rocking her and stroking her hair. After Erica falls asleep, Eva picks up the phone and calls Mini. Mini informs her that Oscar doesn't have a bail yet but Brian was working on it. she decides not to tell Mini anything about Blanca's phone call.
"Have you seen Dom?" Eva asks already missing him.
"No but Lisa was over there and gave him your message. After that he dissapeared." a though crossed Mini but she didn't think he'd be capable to do it.
***************LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT***************
"Excuse me sir! We have 2 seats avaialble for the 10:25pm flight to Newark,NJ. Would you like to purchase them?" the ticket agent says.
"Yes, that will be fine" Dom says as Vince grabs their bags.
