The perspective changes to Isabel Fernandez’s perspective, in Havana Cuba 1994. Isabel is coaxing a stray kitten out from hiding with some beans. Her next door neighbor and best friend Ivan calls out to her, wearing his favorite baseball hat with an I on it for the team the “Industriales” (9). His father calls out to him and he has to go, telling Isabel he is building a doghouse. But Isabel knows he is actually building a boat to sail to the United States. She sees her grandfather and father walking to Havana and she follows after them, bringing her trumpet. As she plays she listens for the clave underneath her music but instead starts to hear breaking glass.
