Marcus was still on his knees, sat down on the floor without even knowing what he was doing, and he was staring at that dirty floor, thinking about his fight with Zoey the first time they crossed over the anniversary. He heard the creak of an opening door by the warehouse as he turned his head to his back. He saw that Matthew was stepping inside the warehouse. 

Matthew was surprised with the mess that he saw and opened his lips slightly. He swallowed as he stammered, "What... h-happened h-here?"
