The brothers tell their father they want to leave and go to Santa Fe, but Antonio's father explains he can get them a job working the highway department. They pressed their need to leave even as their mother pleads for them to stay since they had been at war for so long. Antonio's father knew he was losing them. "We just want to live our own lives," Leon said. The next day Leon and Eugene leave home. Andrew stays behind working at Allen's Market and going back to school..
