The streets were still wet due to the recent summer rain when Yoko was released from prison after serving six months. Although Vincent was badly burned, he lived, which was the only reason she wasn’t convicted of murder.

When Vincent was released from the hospital, he didn’t go back to his apartment and no one knew where he lived. There was a lot of secrecy surrounding his absence and the city talked. Some said he was killed and others said he moved with a young girl who lived down the block. But Maria believed he was out of the state. With third degree burns everywhere, he felt unattractive and couldn’t face his friends.

Maria’s main concern was hurting Yoko.

Although Maria and her sons tried to reach out to Yoko in jail by way of letters, she ignored them all. She blamed everyone for not telling her about who she really was. When she had Internet access, she saw the hundreds of videos that were circulating with her body and her name. She was a circus act.

It wasn’t until she was released that she realized they were the only family she ever had, even if they prostituted her. She would have to deal with them or be alone.

When Yoko knocked on the door to the apartment she lived in all of her life, Maria opened the door. Maria looked frailer, as if time had not been good and this scared Yoko. “Come in, baby,” she smiled. “I missed you so much.” Although she wanted to hug her, she took care to maintain her space.

When Yoko walked inside she saw Joshua sitting at the dining room table. His back was faced in her direction but when he turned around and saw her he went wild. “Yoko! Yoko! Yoko’s home!”

Normally his excited spirit would scare her, considering all they’d been through but today she welcomed his energy. It meant, if nothing else, that she was officially home.

After Yoko positioned herself on the sofa with Joshua next to her, she looked over at Maria and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Not really, Yoko,” she smiled. “Although I’m trying to take care of myself, I can’t help but think about how I treated you.” She looked up at the ceiling. “I found out when you went to jail that your father…your real father…left this building to you.”

“To me?” she asked with wide eyes. “But why? I didn’t even know him.”

“I guess he never got over how he treated you. When Vincent went to the hospital I found the papers in a chest he kept locked up. On his side of the closet.” She sat down and ran her hand through her thinning grey hair. “He was planning to make you look like a drunk. Planning to get you strung out. And then he was going to submit papers to the court to have you ruled incapable of caring for this building and the tenants. Since he was the next of kin, he may have won and regained control of this building.
