Roger comes home to see Mark at the kitchen table with this worried look on his face...

Roger: Mark? You ok man?

Mark was in his own world- he hardly noticed Roger come through the door

Mark: Uh- Wha? OH- yeah, I'm, uh, I'm good- how'd the practice go?

Roger: Oh, it went fine. We made a new song- but didn't think of a title yet. Where's Mimi?

Mark feared this was coming- well, not feared, just knew it was coming. He didn't want Rog to find out about this- he just wanted to find Mimi and get things back to normal. That's all...just get things back to normal- like they were before all this crap happened. He knew Roger would go beat the hell out of her ex-boss, Mimi knew that, everyone did- I guess that's why she didn't tell him...yet.

Roger: Mark?

Mark: Oh- um she, she said that she was going to visit her - her uh, cousin, yeah, her cousin in um- Florida.

Roger: Florida?

Mark: Um- yeah, some family crises. -But nothing really important- they just wanted her there.

Roger: I didn't know she had family in Florida. Why didn't she leave a note?

Mark: Um, she had to rush to get on the first plane ride there that she could- she just told me to uh- say bye to you and that she'll be back some time next week, I think. Oh and she can't call- because they- uh, they don't have a phone! Plus!, she left her cell-phone here, I found it after she left. (To himself: OH GOD- did I just say that aaahhhh! Roger will never buy this!)

Mark was a horrible liar- especially when he was on the spot and nervous!

Roger: Um, ok? Are you sure your ok Mark?

Mark: Yeah- I'm uh, I'm fine...I got to go take a walk, ok?

Roger: ok mark. When will you be back?

Mark: I'm not really sure- sometime later- you might want to get yourself dinner.

Roger: Ok- bye.

Mark: Bye.

Mark runs out exiting the loft.

"Oh crap! What the hell am I saying? 'Oh she can't call because they don't have a phone'? Aahh, couldn't I be a good liar- just for once in my life? I mean- this is definitely the time to be one- I wish I had Maureen's lying power! Roger definitely doesn't believe me- you can see it on his face."

Mark isn't quite sure where he exactly is going- all he knows is that Mimi is the most important person in his life right now and he needs to find her!

"Destination Mimi!" He says to himself, with a chuckle right after. He felt like a super hero- fighting for his true loves life! Kind of like Spiderman.
