Bad Man Good Child

A loyal friend

It has been two weeks now and nothing has happened, nothing from the man and nothing from Mark. It is weird that I haven't heard anything from Mark, what if something happened to him? What if the man hurt him? He is my friend, my only loyal friend. Devan was just sitting there, thinking what could happen to Mark. When his phone rang, it was Mark. "Hey man, where are you?"

"Dude it is important, come to my place now!"  

"Eh alright- hello?" he put on, it sounded important so Devan jumped of his bed and ran to the door. "Where are you going?" Devan turned and saw Adelia with a book in her hand, "visiting a friend, what are you doing?"

"We are reading some books I took with me, when you come back don't forget to paint the wall like you promised"

"Ah right, ok see ya!" Devan closed the door and remembered yesterday that he promised that he would paint the wall, "Why do I have to promise everything!" he said to himself. When he open the door to Mark's apartment he saw him sitting on a chair and had his face on his hands, Devan took another chair and placed it in front of him and then sat down. "Dude, whats wrong?" Devan asked worried, "You are gonna kill me!"

"What? What are you talking about? Spit it out man!"

"Do you remember the accident with the two taxi's, well I was a part of it"

"And? We have murdered many people before"

"But not children! Anyway, it was directed to your kid and the old lady. I succeeded to avoid them but crashed and picked another taxi, sorry. The man forced me, he said he was going to kill my dad that he knows where he is!" I knew Mark was sensitive with thing that he had done wrong, he almost killed his mother, that is what he says. They where attacked by a robber and he had a gun, the first target was Mark, but his mother covered him and got shot instead., the robber fled. From that day Mark always thought that his mom's death was his fault, he was fifteen when she died. His dad is alive but no one knows where he is, after three years he disappeared and never came back. "Dude listen, you are my friend and I am always gonna forgive you"

"Thanks man, you are the only one I can trust, after you killed that man that killed my, my... mom"

"I am always gonna have your back" Devan patted Mark on his back and gave him a smile. Devan came home late, he saw the watch on the wall "1 am, wow it is very late". When he stepped on the stair he remembered the wall, "damn it" he ran to the room that should be fixed but saw a note. "Hey Michelangelo! There is food in the fridge, thanks for the help!" Devan felt guilty he didn't know what they would think, "I can't just leave it like this, I have to do something" he said and looked at the paint.
