Hearing the word hospital was all it took, Eva's breath started to quicken. Her skin took on a dewy shine from the cold sweat she was breaking out into. The poor pregnant woman was kneeling in front of her in an instant.
Breaking off a single square of the chocolate, seeing the pure terror the beaten teen had been unable to hide within her eyes. The mothering woman made soothing noises. Her thumb tracing the young girls cheek, the younger female leant into the comforting touch. The action was so reminiscint of the man who'd kept her safe in mexico.
He'd baby her, treat her like a child, he'd been the first person to care for her in her short life. He'd been the only person she'd trusted with the full story. Could she trust this woman with it? No, Eva fought with herself not to crumble, she'd been strong her entire life she wasn't about to let the fact this woman had a few vague similiarities to her mentor and only father figure ruin that for her.
She felt the slight gentle pressure of someone pressing something to her lips. It brought her back to reality and gazing up she saw Mia pressing a piece of the chocolate on her bottom lip. Hesitantly she accepted, allowing the rich flavor to coat her tongue as it began to melt in her mouth. She murmured an appreciative sigh, half closing her eyes.
When the piece of chocolate was gone she knew it was time to answer Mia's question. How old was she, her Eva Celine driving licence said she was 19 and that was what they were going to think. No need for them to know she was 15 years old.
Eva: I'm 19, my name's Eva. Please don't make me go to a hospital, people die in hospitals.

Brian exchange a glance with Mia. He wasn't sure whether to beleive Eva was really 19. Some girls looked a lot older than they really were. He kept eating his sandwich. Cop times were over.
"Is she going to be alright, Mia?" he enquired. He wasn't going to put her out on the street just to find her in a nearby gutter in a few days.

Mia was eyeing the girl in front of him, there was no way this girl was 19, even if she hadnt been eating for as long as she had said, her structure was just to small, she looked over at Brian, still at the girls feet, she shook her head, she had no way to tell if this girl would be okay or not.
"If she eats she'll be fine"

Eva's eyes scanned the two faces present. Both seemed dubious about something, whether it was the story or her age she wasn't sure. Mia appeared slightly less taken in by her, but that was always a given. With most men a vulnerable pretty face appealed to their masculinity.
Taking a second square of chocolate into her mouth, the fragile looking female allowed it to melt on her tongue before she tried to swallow it. The richness of the chocolate was making her stomach turn.
Slipping a slender hand into the pocket on her tiny jean shorts, thin fingers curled around the exceptional quality fake driving licence. slipping it onto the table, her eyes full of innocence.
Eva: See, Eva Celine Messi, born 1991. ok so technically i'm 19 in a less than a month.

Brian grabbed the ID and took a close look, closer than a non-cop would. He knew all the marks to look for and could tell that the ID was fake even though it was a great fake. He whistled. "Not bad, who made this? Guy certainly knows how to do his job." he mocked.
"Eva, if that's your real name." He looked her straight in the eye. "We're willing to help you. You broke in and slept here...yet I haven't called the cops or kicked you out. How about you tells us what's really the matter? We#re willing to help if you're willing to be helped."

Mia shifted her gaze over to Brian quickly, it was obvious the girl was scared, which ment the way he was acting was just gonna scare of even more. She quickly pressed her hands onto the girls and looked her directly into the eye.
"Eva my names Mia, Mia Toretto"She whispered softly as she looked into the darker girls eyes, she gave her a soft smile "Brians right okay, if your want to be helped we'll help you, but you gotta start telling us the truth"

The tired trembling teen, ran her tongue across her lips. She met Mia's eyes, so like his eyes, he's mentioned his sister Mia. She wanted so badly for that to be this Mia. She wanted so badly to feel safe, but then there was Brian. He had a badge and in Eva's opinion a badge was never good.
Drawing her knees up to her chest on the seat, trying to make herself as small as possible. Her look toward Brian was suspicious and over cautious, then she'd glance at Mia and her eyes filled with a hesitant hope. Sucking in a breath she looked at the older woman imploringly.
Eva: I'll talk to you, but i can't talk to a cop.
She could do nothing but watch the silent exchange between the couple. Watch as Mia gave him a telling look, see Brian sigh and nod his head. She didn't know when he stepped out of the room if he'd left entirely or he was just behind the curtain.
Then again she figured would you leave a pregnant woman in a potentially volatile situation. In the end it didn't matter where he was all that matter was that she couldn't see him. Mia pulled the vacated chair closer to the frightened female and sat silently patiently waiting for her to speak.
Eva: You act like him in some ways.
The question was there in mia's cocoa colored eyes for the whole world to see. Who was he? Eva didn't see it she was staring past the woman as though she was talking to thin air.
Eva: He was the first person to care, I met him in Mexico, he was there taking care of some business. I was there......
She hesitated but only for a moment. Toretto couldn't be that common of a name could it? this could be that Mia, and he'd made her sound like someone she could trust.
Eva: I was there because my mama and her friends weren't. I met him by a roadside diner, the police pulled in behind him they started rambling on about illegal modifications and what not. They wanted his licence to run it, he looked like he was going to put his foot down and hope.
She faintly smiled at the memory that played within her mind.
Eva: I shouted over about how it was about time he got here. That papa could give me the keys to my car now, he caught on quickly and said anything for his little girl. I took the misdemeanors those cops didn't look as closely at that licence as your boyfriend.
She knew this wasn't the story that Mia really wanted, she wanted the whole story not parts and pieces. But this was what Eva was willing to give right now. When she knew that Mia was who she thought she was, that she could trust her, then maybe just maybe.
Eva: He became my protector, my surrogate papa, the first person to care. The only person to try to keep me safe, he hid me from those looking for me and i helped him take care of his business. It worked for both of us, he said i reminded him of some people, he'd protect me like he failed to protect them. He did for a few months. Nothing good ever lasts.
Her sea green eyes took on a haunted quality the next part of her story really hurt and even he only knew some of it. Taking a deep breath she froze, then Mia's thumb gently grazing along her high cheek down to her jaw set her at ease. He'd done that so many time when he was helping her back to sleep after the nightmares.
Eva: He was taking care of business one day, i was providing a distraction so others wouldn't notice. He didn't know i was doing it, he never let me when he had to go so far away. Things got out of hand, i called his cell i was so scared. He cursed, it would take him 45 minutes to get back. He told me to call the cops, he had a friend who was a cop so they couldn't all be bad.
her speech was broken, her words barely above a whisper. Her breath hitched with choked back sobs. She wasn't weak, she wouldn't let people think that.
Eva: I was fighting them off when the cops arrived, i thought i could relax, thought i was safe. The two in uniform came up behind me and asked why i was assaulting these good men. I knew then, i knew it was going to hurt.
She couldn't look at the beautiful older woman, the woman who looked so pure and whole. Whilst Evangeline felt dirty ugly and broken. She refused to meet her eyes while she said the rest of what she had to say.
Eva: Cops everyone says are supposed to be the good guys, the ones you can trust, the ones who'll save you. Does that make me the bad guy? is that why they held me down? pinned my hands above my head and laughed as i cried. They said i matched the description of a girl a friend of Braga's was looking for. That they'd be so glad to have found me it wouldn't matter i went back damaged.
The brunette was cold, she was tired, she couldn't do this. Yet now that she'd started she couldn't stop the words pouring from her cherry colored lips. They hadn't just brutally raped the poor teen, they'd stolen the last shred of innocence she possessed.
Eva: About fifteen minutes later, he arrived. The police car was outside, he must have heard my screams though. By that time i was begging for it to end. He must have heard, because he drove his car, his pride and joy straight through the door. He saved me, but he still blamed himself something about could protect me any more than he could Jesse.
Mia's eyes had widened, her breath hitched and yet Evangeline failed to notice so far lost in her memories and her pain.
Eva: About a month later, i saw them, someone must have told them. Word somehow had gotten back to them that i was in Mexico. They came to the house we were staying in. He was out again, i fought, escaped through a window. God knows what he must think but i knew i couldn't go back. I ran again, i haven't stopped running since. I could have stolen something to eat i suppose but part of me hoped maybe if i didn't eat it wouldn't survive. Is... is Toretto...is it a common name?

Rome entered the garage, noting that Mia's car was outside, chewing thoughtfully on a danish as he walked toward the back office, wondering what had happened. He was even more curious when he say a girl that couldn't possibly be legal in any universe sitting on the couch crying, being comforted by Mia.
"What's goin' on?" he asked through his bite.

brian pushed himself away from the wall he was leaning on and scratched the back of his head raising his eyebrows. "If I knew, man...This girl crashed in the office. Climbed in through the broken window last night." He turned around to watch the women through the open door and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "She's almost passed out telling us something about her boyfriend kicked her out of the car and she didn't eat in days. If you asked me she's a run away."
They stood side by side watching Mia calm Eva down. In a low tone Brian asked. "Any sign of Verone yet?"

Mia listened with an intense ear, there was only one person she could be talking about which was made even more clear when she mentioned Jesse, her heart clenched and she had to swallow the wave of emotions that washed over her.
"Dom"She whispered, not really answering her question, she smiled looking up at the girl "you met my brother"she whispered "he's back in LA, do you want me to call him"

"Seems like," he agreed, taking another bite. "She's maybe 16 at the oldest, you know that right?" He shook his head at the second question. "No plans yet, man."

"What do you mean I know that? I'm not doing anything with her. She's not staying!" Was Brian's first reaction. "I'm also not turning her in...no badge anymore."

"I meant, whatever story she told, she has to be a runaway. And did I just hear them talking about Dom?"
His danish finished, he reached into one of his pockets and pulled out one of those shake up cans of coffee that a friend had sent him. They actually tasted pretty good, and he definitely needed the caffeine if he was hearing things like that!

Brian stepped a little closer to hear more. He shot Rome an angry look. "Stop shaking that thing. What the hell is that? Sissy drink?"

"To make it hot? Is it astronaunts food?" Brian grabbed the can from Rome and had a look at it, then popped the lid and took a drink. "Okay...interesting. Are you telling me this was cold?"

"Well, room temperature." He grabbed the can back and took a long drink. "So, are we opening today or not?" he asked finally, motioning to the women - well, woman annd girl - on the couch.

"Let's get to work, bro, and the woman can do their thing. Seems like the girl has a better connection to Mia anyway. i think I scared her." He made a face and went to the front to open up the main doors.

"Right." He finished his coffee quickly and went out to the POS he'd been working on the day before; the engine was completely shot.

Brian grabbed a box from the side and cut it open to take the parts out. He placed them on different shelfs making sure everything was in its place and easy to find again. He then poked his head under the hood next to Rome. "How's it going?"
