Chapter 189

.

Eve got home shortly before 1am. When she walked in mr Sanchez was in the other room, talking on his cellphone. He hung up quickly, probably hoped that Eve heard nothing. He saw that Eve was hurt. Despite their differences he cleaned her wounds and put bandages on Eve. Ranger Burkle had saved Eve's life, but didn't take her to the hospital, for fear of her cover being blown. Miguel told her that she should reconsider who her friends were, that was hard to argue with. By the time Eve got to her room, she knew she would have to call in sick tomorrow. She tried not to wake Amy, but Amy heard Eve coming, and saw the bandages.

.

Amy: What happened?

Eve: I'm fine.

Amy: Please tell me the truth. I want to help you.

Eve: Okay, I blew up a slide.

Amy: For real?

Eve: Yeah.

Amy: So, you're with the Brotherhood now?

Eve: Sort of, except that I'm also an informant for the Texas Rangers.

Amy: When did all of this happen?

Eve: Lee made the offer Wednesday. The whole thing with the bomb only happenned tonight, that's when I informed Ranger Burkle.

Amy: Why is this the first I'm hearing about this?

Eve: I didn't want to get you in trouble. If I got caught all the blame would fall on me. I was trying to protect you.

Amy: I don't need protection. We are in a relationship. We are suppossed to let each other in.

Eve: I'm sorry. I won't keep secrets anymore.

Amy: Okay then. Incidentally, you didn't destroy the Sundae Slide, did you?

Eve: Not all of it, but I'm fairly certain it's unusable.

Amy: I now officially hate the Brotherhood of the Wolf.

When Amy left for work she kissed her sleeping girlfriend. Eve felt it, but went back to sleep. When she woke up Eve spent much of the day in bed resting. Miguel even brought her some chicken soup. He seemed to feel sorry for this hurt little girl. Eve figured she was like that stray alley cat to this man. Maybe he shouldn't feed her, but he couldn't help himself. Eve watched some youtube videos. People making stupid videos for youtube pre-dated 2/4 by almost 30 years. Commercials for mercy clinics, Janice advertising her adultery website, claimed it was to protect these people from abusive spouses. Most disturbing was people in Batman masks lynching suspected followers of Maggie. All posted on youtube.

Lee came to see Eve in late afternoon. She wasn't sure if he even came home last night, she might've slept through it.

.

Lee: Are you okay?

Eve: I'm fine, I just needed a little rest.

Lee: What you did, was very brave.

Eve: I don't know. I was so scared, I almost didn't do it.

Lee: Fear is nothing to be ashamed of, but you overcame it. Unlike some people.

Eve: So, there were others?

Lee: Three other bombings, no fatalities. There were suppossed to be six altogether, but two guys got cold feet. Anyway, you're in the Brotherhood, if you want. You earned this.

Eve: Sure, it's just, what about Amy?

Lee: She has to make her own choices. You can try to recruit her if you want, just be careful about it.

Eve: I will, thank you.
