Prologue
"Mimi. Come on sweetheart, its time to go."
"But mom I don't want to go. I mean its been only two weeks since Roberto's murder. I'm not ready to leave." Mimi explained to her mother.
"Mimi," her mother started in a stern voice. "Now you listen to me young lady. Roberto was not murdered. He committed suicide."
"But mom…"
"Stop it Mimi. I mean it. You need to wake up and realize the truth and face the facts. Roberto committed suicide. He was not murdered. And my god Mimi its about time that you came to grips with it." Mimi's mother said spelling out what she wanted to drill in to Mimi's head.
"But…"
"Mimi Elizabeth Montenegro stop it this instance. Now I don't want to hear another word about this. Now get your stuff and lets go." Mrs. Montenegro ordered in a stern voice.
"Yes mother." Mimi grabbed her leopard printed long coat, her purse, and a closed jar that contained Roberto Marquez's ashes, and then followed her mother out of her home with tears in eyes.
