Chapter 54

“Darin has died” he repeats.

Uncle Donnie has nothing but a poker face on , not an ounce of sadness in his eyes, the only thing he says is “I know all about this”

“That’s why I came to you , I knew you’d help me out” he tries

“I always knew that boy was troublesome, more than you. Always so nice and friendly that boy” he exclaims. “Could you give me any details about the last time you saw him” he says.

As he blabbers on about the last time he saw him and what happened, I can’t help but get lost in my thoughts. I can’t help but feel guilty about Darin’s death. It’s all my fault and it will never get off my conscious.

“So are you going to help me out with that or what? “he asks

“Of course, how could I not” he adds.

“And uncle Donnie , I hope you don’t mind there’s another favor I’d like to ask you for”. Marcus says .

“And what might that be?” he asks face as straight as a line.
