After the auction Trina hadn't seen or heard from her brother. She wondered if he was either gambling or getting his life together. At the production office Criss was looking over a few things when George came in. "Criss where's Trina?"he asked. "She went to a bridal fitting with Sandra. Why?"Criss inquired. "I went to get some gas and I saw Trina's brother there working on a car"he said. "Seriously". "Yea so I talked to Freddy who runs the place. He told me Marcus came in three weeks ago looking for work. Freddy wasn't sure about him but when he fixed a problem with a car that had been bugging him he hired Marcus on the spot" George stated. "But is he still gambling if the question?"Criss wondered. Then Gerard came in telling Criss someone was outside that wanted to talk to him. Criss went outside and standing next to his bikes was Marcus.

"Marcus what are you doing here?"he asked. "I wanted to talk to you about CC. I want to buy it back from you". "With what Marcus I don't take IOU" Criss replied. "I have a job now and I'll pay you as much as I can even if I have to get ten jobs"he remarked. "What about gambling have you stopped?"Criss asked. "Yes I haven't been in any casinoes, haven't betted on anything. That's one of the reason I asked you to come outside so I wouldn't get tempted" Marcus stated. "Let me talk to my brother first". Marcus said thanks and left.
