Roger spent most of the night thinking about this. Mark was back and sleeping soundly on the couch. Mimi had also stopped by, she just wanted to talk, but Roger wasn't really in the mood to talk.

Flashback

"Roger, I need to go away for awhile." April explained. Roger was confused.

"Why?"

April didn't have an answer to that question. Well, she did but she was refusing to answer.

"Can't you tell me?" Roger asked. He didn't want April away.

"I-I-I just need to sort something out and have sometime alone."

Roger was about to protest but April silenced him with a kiss. He had a few ideas where she could be going, Rehab possibly, maybe just on a vacation, some other place to get drugs, or maybe there was another man?

End Flashback

"Mark!" Roger yelled, he didn't care if he was sleeping or not he needed to meet this so called daughter.

"Mmm... Roger...leave me alone...I was just about to-"

"Mark, I don't want to know, please I need help." he begged. Mark sat up from the couch and rubbed his eyes. He put on his glasses and took a deep breath.

"What?"

"I got this call today, some man, I don't know who, but he said I have a daughter." Roger confessed all at once. Mark looked utterly confused.

"Man, you talked so fast, all I heard was 'I have a daughter', and that can't be right." Mark smiled.

Roger grumbled, "You heard right."

All I can say was after Mark had processed the thought he fell right off the couch and toppled down on top of Roger.

"Is this some sort of joke?" he asks between fits of laughter. When he noticed Roger wasn't laughing he shut up immediately.

"Your serious?" he asked.

"Yeah and I don't know what to do, I hung up on the guy before I took his phone number, I'm not, I mean I don't, I mean-"

"Roger relax, when did he call?"

"Last night."

"Did anyone call after that?"

"Yes."

"Your just going to have to wait until he calls back." Mark smiled and gave Roger a quick hug, although he really wanted to kiss him.

"That could take forever." Roger whined as he did a dramatic belly flop on the couch.

Roger stared at the rain falling.

I wonder what she looks like?

Or how she acts?

A phone ring dragged him out of his thoughts. Roger ran to it and took a deep breath.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Mr. Davis, it's Tim James again, are you willing to talk?"

"Yes, yes, please."

"Mr.Davis, as I said before that your daughter wants to meet you and live with you."

"When?"

"I'm sorry it doesn't work that quickly Mr. Davis, first we need to send someone over to inspect the living situation, then you need to meet her for a 30 minute visit to make sure this is what she wants, next you need to answer a few questions which you can do right now." Tim James explained. The speech seemed over rehearsed.

"Fine, I don't care." Roger was feeling better after his conversation with Mark. They had been friends as long as he could remember, which wasn't totally long, but long enough.

"Ok, question 1, do you live with anyone?"

"Yeah, my roommate ,Mark, and sometimes another roommate names Collins."

"Do you have a steady job?"

"Well, sort of, I'm a musician and I can get a job."

"Mr.Davis I think it would be better if we just met in person, Tuesday at 5:00 PM work for you?"

"Yes, umm, see you then, bye." Roger hung up the phone and did some math.

Let's see, April died 4 years ago, and she had just gotten back from wherever she had been, so I'm guessing she is going to be 4.
