NOTHING FEELS THE SAME

Chapter 70

"I think he needs to see a therapist" Mark said softly as he slumped on the sofa next to Robbie. "He just so messed up, has Sam told you anything?" Mark asked. "No" Robbie shook his head, "But they have been asking Ellie to turn the cameras off in their room" Robbie sighed. "Do you want me to tell you? Gaz won't have a problem with it." "Only if your sure its fine with him, I wouldn't want to intrude in his business" Rob said. "He'd be happier if you knew but he didn't have to do anything. Okay, so basically from what I understand he's suffering from prisoner withdrawal. So it's like he was so use to being that prisoner and now he's free and he wants it back, like an addiction. It's like smoking we know it's bad but we do it anyway. Anyway, in some cases people can regress back to being a prisoner and in some cases half themselves when they can't have it." Mark stopped for a breather.

"Is he that bad?" Robbie asked, his voice barley a whisper, "Am I that blind, that bad of a friend to not have noticed?" "No, you see Gary only craves the sexual side of it. It's not like he wants to be used as a boxing bag again. And besides he only wants it up the arse, nothing to kinky. Now I'm no genius and he'll probably hate me but I really thing he should see a professional."

"I told him, just like you asked" Gary sniffed.

"Thank you, how you feeling?" Sam smiled and rubbed some stray tears off his face. "Horrible, he didn't need to know that." Gary grumbled. "But how are you really feeling now?" Sam edged. Gary sniffed again, "A little better, like some pressure has been lifted off me." "He's probably telling Robbie right now" Sam said in a soft voice, a motherly voice. "I know, it's alright. One less person I don't have to tell" Gary rested his head against Sam. "Are you tired babe? Go to sleep, I'll have some dinner ready when you wake up" Sam stroked Gary's head like a dog until he drifted off to sleep.

"Hey Mark, you staying for tea?" Sam asked as she walked out of the bedroom where Gary had finally fallen asleep. "I don't want to be a hassle" He smiled. "It's no problem, send Ellie to get Emma and Caroline. I need to cook." Sam stretched her body out as she fell back on the couch. "Sam, you know what Gary needs" Mark sat beside her. "He won't go" she shook her head. "What about the one he saw last time?" Mark asked. "Susanne? No he can't" "Why, did something happen during the session?" He continued asking questions. "Not exactly. Mark she's dead. 3 days after our visit she was found, raped and tortured in her office. Mark, you can't tell Gary, he will think it's his fault"
