Malcolm made his goodbyes, grabbed his daypack and, after stretching, ran home to check on Jeffrey. As he neared the block, Malcolm slowed down.
No need to stop suddenly, I need a short bit to cool.Malcolm thought. Plus, I need to make sure I don't run right into trouble.
Malcolm, still wearing his shades (if it's still light out), looked around on his approach to the house with only his eyes - not his head. He had worked on the technique to check out girls when they didn't think he was looking, but it could work here too.
Malcolm is cautious but casual on getting to his house, not too worried, but still knowing that the 5th was no place to get complacent.

T-Bull answers Carlos' call with an explanation that they were going to go eat at his mom's house. "You know how she is," he sighs before giving them directions in case Carlos forgot how to get there. He also asks Carlos if he or Mike has seen Jessica.

Malcolm's Tenement Building

Hustling over there, Malcolm sees that the streets are relatively busy...a very good sign indeed that nobody has spotted any trouble recently. The raggedly building he calls home comes into view and when he enters the hallway and makes his way up the flight of stairs, he sees a very familiar face standing by his door.
Its Rosa and she looks very frightened. When she sees him approaching, relief and apprehension showed in her eyes as she ran over to greet him.
"Malcolm," she breathes and he could smell a whiff of that really strong perfume she wore. "I've been waiting for you. I heard the cops took you away...what happened?"

"Rosa, what's wrong?" Malcolm asked in a concerned voice. His concern for her after seeing how scared she looked overshadowed her question. But, part of what was frightening her might be what happened to him. Briefly, it made him feel good that she was concerned.
"Come on inside," Malcolm offered as he opened the door, thinking it might also be that she was scared to be there. He remembered the story that he, Lamar, and T-Bull rehearsed back at the garage - something that actually happened out of T-Bull's past. Once inside, he started the story. Like T- said, it was all in the telling.
"The cops? Somebody reported that Lamar vandalized the Washington Towers apartment building last night. It was a crock, but they hauled him in anyway. Then luckily, they called me in 'cause I was with Lamar last night. They hauled down to the station to scare us and get us to confess. But, since we didn't do anything there was nothing to confess. They took some reports on what we were doing, crap like that, then finally let us go," Malcolm said.
"My guess is someone doesn't want Lamar playing ball this winter and tried to get him in trouble. I mean, to be hauled off on finals day - give me a freaking break. Hopefully nothing will come of it - but you never know with the cops," Malcolm finished, trying to reassure Rosa that everything was okay.
"Now, that was my crappy day - what's going on with you?" Malcolm asked.

"Wait, he can't get ahold of Jessica either?" Mike asks before Carlos can hang up "That wouldn't happen to be the same Jessica who was at the dinner, the one who may have been the target of the hit, the one who was onto the bug-thing, and the one who's now apparently out-of-contact?" He looked over at Carlos as he turned the corner. "I don't suppose I'm the only oen who's getting paranoid about this, am I? I mean, it's almost like everything's coming together, like some malevolent force is behind it all..."

Carlos' face loses its mirth as the paranoia hits him too. Having already filled T-Bull in on the juicy details, he can only assume his old friend is thinking the same thing, "Holy
, T. Ok, where would she be? Should we try her place? Where should we meet you?"
Once T answers, he'll make sure it's clear that they need to keep in touch and call if anything new comes up. Then he'll relay what he knows to Mike and brood on the worst for the rest of the trip...

Malcolm ushered Rosa into his apartment and she followed, slowly and hesitantly but soon made her way to their small living room. The kitchen sink was full of dishes as usual, his mom not having a chance to come home and fill the dishwasher.
"Malcolm," the girl was saying as she sat down heavily onto his sofa, fluffling back her curly black hair with one bracelet laden hand. "I gots to tell you somethin'...I think something's going down with the locos, man...I heard Jose talkin' today and he was talking big...you know...nervous-like...when he gets all excited."
While she spoke and as Malcolm was putting away his bookbag, he noticed something that shouldn't be. A red smear on the edge of the door frame that led to the bathroom.

They're about halfway to T-Bull's when Carlos learned that Jessica's parent's house is back in Sugar Land. Her parents live in Sweetwater by the country club.
"I tried calling dere, man...but nobody's picking up." His voice seemed ladened with worry. "I'm over at Momma's now...that's where we're all meeting. Where you two at now?"
