Eva's forehead rested against her knees, she didn't want to see the disgust she was certain would see in the other womans face. The aqua eyed teen kept trying to tell herself it wasn't her fault, but it must have been. Men didn't just act like that for no reason, she had to have done something. There had to have been something she could have done differently.
Then she heard the lighter woman speak, that one word was all that was needed. Dom, she was that Mia, she had to be. Her head darted up so quickly she made herself dizzy.
It took her a moment to register what Mia was saying and for the room to stop spinning around her. Dom was here? Would he want to speak to her? It didn't matter she'd take the chance. For the first time since she'd woken up this morning she relaxed slightly.
It was so noticable, the startled animal appearance slowly bled from her, she looked Mia directly in the eyes curious and hopeful.
Eva: Your his Mia? Your not going to let them take me back there? Please call him Please.
There was an almost whining pleading to her voice at this point. She just wanted to feel safe. The only place she'd ever felt safe was with him.

Mia smiled and nodded her head grabbing her phone from her pocket as she quickly dialled her number "Hey bro"She warmed at the sound of his voice "I need you to come down to the garage, theres a girl here claiming to know you, hers names Eva"SHe stated, her dark eyes flicking up towards the young girl.

"Eva?" His mind was filled with images of the little girl who had helped him con a few people when he was in Mexico alone. He had left her without a thought, and with how fragile she was, it probably messed her up more. "You're at Bar?"

Mia smiled so Eva was telling the truth, with a sigh she shook her head "Brian opened one up"She stated and quickly gave the directions before hanging up, she squeezed Evas knee and smiled over at her. "He's on hsi way"She whispered soflty.

"On my way." As he went down to his car, he was still amazed. Eva had tracked him all the way to LA from Podunk, Mexico... He wondered what had happened back home to make her leave again. He pulled up and bypassed Brian and Rome, the latter of which pointed at the back office, where he found Mia and Eva. As soon as he walked in he held his arms open, like he'd done for Mia when she was younger.

There he was, stood inside the doorway, arms wide open. she sprung to her feet. Almost regretting it as her legs lurched beneath her. As quick as she could on her shaky legs she made her way over to him. She missed the concerned look he shot over her head toward his sister.
All she knew is he was there, Grabbing a fist full his tank top, as though afraid he'd disappeared if she let go. Face buried in his chest, her slender body trembled with the strain days without food was causing.
She felt those powerful arms wrap around her, she was finally safe. That was all it took, the teen finally gave in to her emotions. As he murmured to the fearful female, she soaked his shirt with her silent sobs.
When she finally looked up at him her aqua eyes were red rimmed and slightly puffy, teartracks stain her cheeks and she looked every bit as young as her 15 years. She spoke between hiccups.
Eva: They.... they found.. found me. I can't go back there. You said... You said if... if anything happened... i was to head... head for LA.
As his finger tips ran through her hair, one arm still wrapped around her physically exhausted frame.
Eva: It .. It won't die. It won't go away, i've tried to make it. I don't want a permanent reminder of them. I'm scared.

"Ssh, Eva, it's okay. You're safe now." He continued to hold her through her sobs.
"You did just right. I should have given you an address to go to, though." He ran a hand over her head, trying to soothe her.
"What won't die?" He realized she was pregnant, and pulled away from her to look her in the face. "What did they do?"

Fresh tears filled her eyes, but she refused to let them fall, instead she allowed her head to drop. Unable to meet his gaze anymore, so afraid he would think it was her fault as well. He smelled just as she remembered. Sandalwood, Motor oil and corona. It was comforting and familiar.
That night was permanently etched in her mind, it replayed itself each night as she slept. She wanted to answer his question she really did but would he blame her? would it be her fault?
Her feet had suddenly become really interesting, that was until a large hand took her chin gently within itself. Raising her eyes back up to meet him.
Eva: I couldn't fight them off, i tired, i did i tried so hard. By the time you got there, i hadn't got away like i said, they'd finished with me.
God she wanted the floor to open up and swallow her, She could remember that night, waiting to see that familiar car. Cleaning herself up as best she could. Their laughter still ringing in her ears. Their moans of pleasure still haunt her nightmares.
She hadn't wanted him to feel any guilt over it, she thought it would have been just one more secret she had. She didn't count on this outcome, he'd got there as quickly as he could.
Eva: Am i a bad person? is that why these things happen to me? is that why the cops didn't help me?

"Some cops are just dumbasses," he said quietly, pulling her closer again. She hadn't gotten away.... "Do you remember who it was? If you do, no one will have to worry about them anymore." He was fully ready to take himself to Mexico and get some justice. Eva was as close to a daughter as he could have (and wasn't THAT a strange thought?) and he'd do anything for her.

Her legs were about ready to give out, chewing nervously on her bottom lip. She allowed herself to be pulled closer to him savouring the warmth. She was so cold, it may have been blazing sunshine outside but Eva simply could not stop shivering.
Could she remember who they were? she'd never forget their faces, but she didn't know their names. She didn't think they deserved names, names made them human, but these were monsters. Her own personal demons.
If he went after them he might not come back. a moment of panic flitted through her body. she could help but clutch at his shirt closer. He was the closest thing she had to a father.
Simply in answer to his question she shook her head.
Eva: I never knew their names, they said only real women could know their names. Not common street whores.
The last admittance was nothing more than a whisper.

"If you even think about calling yourself a whore again, I swear I will lock you in your room for a week with only food and water and 3 bathroom breaks!" he growled, feeling her tremble as memories assaulted her. "I'm sorry chiquita, you're okay, you're safe now. No one is going to come for you here, I promise." He sighed and let her cry into his chest again, looking at Mia, mouthing 'I'll explain later.'

Mia watched the interaction with wide and conffused eyes, biting her lip she simply nodded her head and pushed herself up from the seat and headed towards the main area of the garage where Rome and Brian was working.
"Hey"She whispered resting her hands agasint her belly.

Her eyes were heavy, her already tired body drained by her tears. Every limb feeling heavy. The wracking sobs, slowly died down to occasional sniffles. The hands that stroked her hair rythmically were comforting and safe. Not like the callous harsh and hate filled ones she'd had to contend with before leaving mexico and on her way here.
Wrapping her arms around him she knew if her arms where around him he couldn't see the bruises that marred her soft skin. She'd been careful to keep her chin down disguising the livid red blue finger prints on her throat. She'd dealt with the man who did that in one of the ways he'd taught her. She'd struck with her palm straight into his adams apple, been able to do nothing as his lyranx collapsed. She didn't know or care if he'd survived.
Her breathing became slow and steady, tickling the taller mans arm. Only on glancing down at her would he realise she'd fallen asleep standing up. It said something about how physically exhausted the teen was.

He calmly swung her up into his arms and headed out into the garage proper, going over to Mia.
"I'm taking her to the Fort to sleep. I'll see you later?" Letty was at the apartment, and he knew he'd have to explain this before she saw Eva, because it was pretty weird.
"I found her in Mexico, and she helped me on some cons. I kept her safe until you called me... She ran off right before that, so I didn't know where she was." He knew that Mia would see that he almost needed to take care of this girl; since Mia had grown up and gotten her own life, he'd been feeling kind of useless.

Brian watched Dom take Eva into the main part of the garage. He was udderly confused what his freind had to do with the girl, who broke in. Obviously Mia was confused as well. "What's going on, Dom?" he wanted to know.

"When I was in Mexico, I came across a runaway," Dom started, settling a hip against one of the counters, shifting Eva in his arms so he could speak comfortably. "She wouldn't go home, but she was a born con artist; almost ripped me off, in fact. Anyway, I took her to my place, and she helped me run cons. Right before Mia called me, she ran off; I think it's because she knew... well, let's just say I think I understand her reasons."

Brian held his breath during Dom's explanation and looked at the weak girl. he felt pity but his cop conscience kicked in at the same time. "How old is she Dom? Where's her family?"

"She's 15, and I don't want to know where her birth parents are; she doesn't need them." He glanced down at Eva, completely unaware of what his expression was saying to the others in the room about this girl and why he was holding her like it was natural.

Brian exchanged a glance with Mia. It did look like her brother was having feelings for the girl. "15." he repeated. In a matter of factly way he added. "That's against the law. Her parents need to know where she is." Of course he knew he'd get in troublöe with Dom but he wanted to do the right thing and keeping a teenager didn't seem right.

"If she goes back to her parents they will whore her out," Dom gritted out slowly, trying not to get angry; Brian had been a cop for too long to ignore basics, and they were obviously reading this completely wrong. He settled her on the table, where she just curled up and kept a hand on his shirt before he turned back to them.
"I don't know what you're thinking, right now, O'Connon, but I'm pretty sure I don't like it."
