I added the last two chapters together so there is nothing new!
Roger laid Mark down on the couch when they got back into the loft. To keep a long story short, Roger beat The Man to a bloody pulp until he finally punched him out, picked Mark off the ground, and walked as fast as he could to the loft.
Roger stared at Mark and tears started to form in his eyes as guilt washed over him. He wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for me. I love him so much, and The Man knows that. If I had never done drugs he wouldn't even know who Mark is. If I had just faced me fear of the alley, I could have gone in there earlier and saved him.
Roger walked over to the phone and dialed Collins number.
"Hey Collins. It's Roger. Could you come over? Something is wrong. It's Mark."
Collins really made record timing getting to the loft. When Roger opened the door he saw Collins with his hands on his knees and he was trying to catch his breath. Roger looked over Collins and saw a just as exhausted Angel slowly walking up the stairs to the loft. Angel finally made it next to Collins and the two of them nearly ran Roger over getting into the loft. They both froze when they saw Mark on the couch. They turned and looked at Roger for the first time, and he had tears running down his face.
"Roger…you…you didn't do anything. To Mark I mean" Roger shook his head no.
"I didn't know what to do, I just found him like this."
"What happened Roger?" Angel asked
Roger quickly explained what happened. Collins looked pissed and Angel looked like she about to burst into tears.
"That son of a bitch! I'll kill him, just watch me! The next time I even see a glimpse of his ugly ass face he'll wish he were never born! NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE HURTS MARK LIKE THIS AND LIVES TO TELL ABOUT IT!
"Calm down baby"
"NO!"
"Don't worry about it Collins I called the cops. Apparently they have been looking for him for a while now. They hauled his ugly ass to jail. But right now we have to help Mark, that's why I called you"
"Yeah well we need to clean him up fast so he doesn't stand the risk of getting infected" Angel said.
"Now" Angel's voice left no room for an argument from the two friends. They set about cleaning Mark's head wound and giving him some painkillers.
"Now all he needs is some comfortable, uninterrupted sleep." Angel said sweetly
"Will he be okay?" Roger asked
"Roger we've seen and been through worse then this. He will be fine; there is really nothing to worry about. Just let nature take its course and let him heal himself.
