Can Reggie convince Mark that his safe haven is his arms instead?

Waiting for Mark

“Write all of this down as you tell it to us so you don’t have to do it twice,” Jack told Mark.


“You didn’t press charges for the assault?” Carlo asked.


“No, I was too afraid. What would have happened to me if he didn’t get convicted? But they got him on the robbery. You have to understand. Billy is a sociopath who had borderline personality disorder and he’s not getting treatment. That makes him very dangerous.”


“What happened next?” Jack asked. Mark’s head was in his hands. He looked up and continued to speak.


“Billy was released from prison and came looking for me. Even though I stayed in the area, I’d covered my tracks. He was out a month before he found me. I didn’t even know he was out. He was supposed to serve twenty years.” Mark was beginning to sound frustrated and angry. He figured it was better than sounding like a victim.
