Three Months later

Dom sat on his front porch drinking corona and listening to salsa music when he heard a woman crying. He looked around for where it was coming from. He saw a woman of about thirty or so sitting on a log not too far from where he was sitting her head in her hands.

"hmmmcan I help you miss?"

The woman did not answer just continued to sob. So he asked again this time in Spanish. The woman looked up and it was Rosa Mia's mother. Dom took a good look at her face and saw she had a black eye, busted lip and her nose was bleeding.

"Rosa who did this to you?"

She did not answer she just sat there quietly

"Rosa, did you understand me?"

"Can you hear me?"

She looked at him and still said nothing just sat quietly

"Where is your husband Rosa?"

"Where is Mia and Selena?"

Rosa stood and walked over to him and looked him in the eye and then fainted.

Not knowing what all was wrong he picked her up and carried her into his house and laid her on his bed. She was still breathing and had a pulse, he sat beside her until she came to.

"Rosa where is your husband and your daughters?"

"I killed my husband."

She said it so coldly that it scared him.

"He would beat me and then touch my daughters I could not let him do that no more he had to be stopped."

She was very calm now and she was very clear in what she had done.

Dom's mind raced now what does he do. He came here for his own safety and to figure things out for himself and runs right into this.

"I don't want you to try to help me escape, I did it I will turn myself in but I have nowhere for my daughters to go, my family is dead I was an only child and my parents are dead."

"What about your husband's family?"

"I don't want them near my daughters they are just as crazy as he is!"

She began to cry and Dom's heart broke for her, he really could not blame her she was protecting herself and her children but now what.
