As Sonny was driving to the meet with Harlen another story was unfolding. On the other side of town Marco Wolf had been following this whole ordeal closely and he knew a few things that sonny didn’t know. Such as the fact that Harlen knew very well what sonny would do and had already set his counter move in motion. He had planted explosives along the parts of the road that you couldn't see from the mansion, just in case sonny decided to bring help and he had put Lucas in an abandoned warehouse across town. Marco decided that he would first go to the warehouse to save Lucas, and then he would disarm the explosives in order to make sure that sonny would have help if he needed it (after all he couldn't let a close friend go against harlen without help, especially not when he owes that friend a favor). 
As Marco arrived at the warehouse he saw Harlen leaving but decided that it was best to let him go for the moment in order to save Lucas. After the way was clear Marco crept into the warehouse where he saw josh tormenting Lucas who was strapped to a table.
“Lucas your friend is being lured into a trap with you as bait and he isn’t even going to be able to save you,” josh ranted menacingly “he is going to die all alone and there is nothing you can do to save him. How does that feel.”
“You just wait I am going to get out of these restraints an when I do I will cut open your abdomen and strangle you with your own intestines………but not before you suffer as I have.”
Just after Lucas said that Marco snuck up behind josh and knocked him out. Then he undid the straps that bound Lucas to the table and he held him back from killing josh.
“Why won’t you let me kill him............after what he did to me he deserves to suffer!” Lucas screamed with tears pouring down his face
“And he will Lucas I promise you but not now…….right now we have to go help sonny……..ok?” 
“Your right………..*sigh*…….but can we at least strap him to the table so that he doesn’t get away” Lucas said having calmed down 
After they had strapped josh to the table Marco sent Lucas to the safe house that Sonny had the girls in, then he rushed off as fast as he could to get to the spot Sonny's men were instructed to go to hoping to get there before them. 
Marco was pushing his Harley to the limit in a race against time to save sonny and his men. Meanwhile……………………….Sonny was half way to the meet with harlen when his cell phone rang, it was one of his men whom he had instructed to guard Edna and the others. 
“Hey boss Lucas just showed up here and he wants to talk to you” the guard said dumbfounded
“So give him the phone” sonny said frustrated
“Sonny, Marco saved me from Josh in a warehouse; harlen was planning to double cross you and Marco told me not to say any more than that because harlen could be listening to this call.” Lucas said hurriedly 
“Ok thanks for letting me know, you can fill me in later once I’ve dealt with harlen.” Sonny said as he hung up………..back on the other side of town Marco was almost to where sonny had told his men to be and he saw the explosives hidden along the road. He stopped when he noticed that they were motion activated. So he backed up a little ways, then he gunned it setting off explosion after explosion in a massive chain reaction barely able to stay in front of them. Finally he ‘disarmed’ the last one and parked on the side of the road. With the adrenaline still pumping through his veins he charged through the trees towards the mansion. With gun drawn (he took it off of Josh) he grew closer and closer to the mansion. He saw Sonny enter the house and decided to wait outside confident that Sonny could handle himself. For about five minutes the mansion was deathly quiet until a series of gunshots rang out. Marco began to move closer to the mansion and as he did he saw harlen run out the side door followed closely by Sonny. Marco ran as fast as he could after the two and finally caught up with them on the cliff behind the house where sonny had managed to corner harlen who was standing on the edge looking down at the river below.
“Now I’ve got you ya sick fuck” Sonny screamed
“If you kill me Lucas dies Sonny” harlen taunted confidently
“No he won’t harlen I saw to that” Marco said proudly as he ran up next to Sonny with his gun aimed at Harlen’s chest 
“It’s about damn time you got here I was worried”
“Well I'm here now, so harlen any last words?” 
“Just one…………DIE!!!!!!!!!!!”
Harlen fired a single shot as sonny and Marco opened fire upon him. After Harlen fell backwards over the cliff into the river below Marco realized that he had caught, in his teeth the bullet harlen had fired. Sonny ran over to the edge of the cliff and watched harlen float down river. But after he turned back to Marco, Harlen’s eyes opened. 15 minutes later Sonny and Marco were sleeping at the safe house, when Marco was woken up by Lucas.
“I need 2 favors from you one is a ride and I need your help with Josh I want him to suffer but I can’t bring myself to face him alone.”
“Of course I would never let you do this alone, but can we get something to eat first I am so hungry from the adrenalin rush.” 
“Thanks Marco you really are a nice guy ya know that. I’m gonna buy you dinner after this.” 
“It’s no problem, dinner is not necessary, and after this is done with maybe you could show me your scar, I’d tell you the story behind my scars if ya did.”
“From what I hear you haven’t even told Ed and Edna the story about those yet why tell me my scar aint that interesting Marco.”
“You’re scar is more interesting than you think, I will explain later Lucas but for now please just trust me. Now let’s go take care of Josh.”
About 5 minutes later they were at the warehouse; Lucas turned to Marco and said “Now what is so interesting about my scar.” 
“I will tell you about it after we have dealt with josh, ok?”
“Alright Marco have it your way, let’s do this.” 
As they entered the warehouse Josh started to panic as they grew closer knowing what was going to happen to him. Desperately trying to get out of the restraints and get away, he realized just how futile it was and Josh began to beg “please don’t do this, I will do anything you want……….just please don’t do this”
”too late for that, you shouldn’t have did what you did Josh; Lucas do you want to do this quick or make him suffer for a long while.”
“I want him to suffer for what he did.” 
“Ok, I know just the thing look around for a blowtorch there has to be one in this place.”
“I found one it was in a storage closet over that way; what do we need this for anyway Marco”
“To heat up my knife, so we can burn his off………….its slower. But first let me cut off his clothes and shove this pill up his ass. Oh and call me Mac its less formal ok?”
“ok Mac; what’s the pill for anyhow?”
“It will keep him from passing out from the pain so he actually suffers every, last, moment of excruciating pain.”
Just as Marco said that, he thought to himself “thank you for letting me help you with that business of yours with the CIA all that time ago and for rescuing me from that bastard who kidnaped me, it’s going to help me out here Grandpa.”  
“Lucas I need to know something before we start; I need to know that no matter what you are going through with this and that you promise not to think differently about me for the things I'm going to do to him after you are done.” 
“I swear that I will go through with this and that I will not think of you differently after this Marco. After all you’ve done, I owe you my life.”
“You owe me nothing Lucas; I would have done what I did for anybody.”
“Still it means a lot to me now let’s begin shall we.”
“Yep hold the blow torch while I cut away his clothes and give him this not so little pill.”
As Marco began to cut away Joshes clothing he tried to ‘excite’ him making him a bit more ‘accessible’ for torture. Once he had what was left of Joshes clothes lying in a pile on the floor. Marco took the pill and forced it as deep as he could into Joshes ass. Then he pushed his fingers into Joshes ass and turned the pill so that Josh had no chance of ‘getting rid of it’, Josh just cried in a little pain.
“Alright hold my knife while I heat it, then you can go to town on him ok Lucas.”
“Yeah, I just need a second”
“Take your time Lucas he aint going anywhere.”
“I'm good let’s do this.”
While Lucas held the knife Marco pulled a lighter out of his pocket then he lit the torch and heated the knife till the blade glowed lightly. 
“Alright Lucas you are ready to go, just please be careful.”
“I will don’t worry so much and don’t forget that you agreed to tell me about your scars after this. Oh and don’t worry I'm going to hold up my end of the bargain. Now Josh you will know my pain and then some, soon will be a woman.”
As blade met flesh the air filled with screams of sheer agonizing pain and the smell of burning flesh. There was little blood because the hot metal cauterized the wound. Now Josh had not only been effectively neutered but Lucas had cut off Joshes cock as well. Marco removed the pill from inside of Josh so he could talk to Lucas. 
“Nice work on him Lucas. Now we have a little while before he wakes up, so I'm going to tell you why I find that scar of yours so interesting. I have only told this secret to my friends, I can change genders for three hours a day, it is a gift that all the males on my side of the family possess-“
“What does this have to do with my scar Mac?”
“I was getting to that now don’t interrupt, it’s rude. So as I was saying, all the males on my side of the family have this gift ……..and we can give it to others. If I give this gift to you………..you can be whole again. But there are side effects of the transfer, we would be able to hear each other’s thoughts and we would be able to know exactly where the other is at all times, we would even share dreams once in a while. I'm not going to lie doing this will hurt a bit, so I need to know if you want this Lucas.”
“Wow………………I wasn’t expecting that…………….what’s it like to be a girl............if you don’t mind me asking that is.”
“I don’t mind at all, its………fun and exciting but at the same time it’s depressing because you can only stay like that for 3 hours I personally would love to stay like that for a day just because it’s got a lot of potential.”
“That sounds…………..wonderful Mac……..i want it I really do.”
“Ok then Lucas let’s see that scar of yours”
“Shouldn’t we get back to torturing Josh first Mac?”
“Nah he is gonna be out for like 20 minutes” 
“Oh ok then, here let me undo my belt for ya”
“Thanks but, I got it off of you while we were talking, oh and here is your wallet back Lucas.”
“How did I not feel you do that Mac?”
“I learned a few things when I lived on the street.”
“That must have helped you out a lot”
“Yeah but I only ever took 10 bucks at a time so that no one would notice, although I did take one guys shoes once.”
“How in the world did you pull that off Mac?”
“He paid me five bucks to shine his shoes so while I was shining them I replaced them with my old shoes, then I ran like hell. I got away thanks to the fact that he had a warrant for his arrest and got caught by the cops while he was chasing me.”
“Yeah it was, almost as lucky as me staying one step ahead of harlen and being able to save you and Sonny from him, then living to tell the tale.”
“I think we are getting side tracked here Mac.”
“Yeah your right Lucas, sorry.”
As Marco unbuttoned then pulled down Lucas’s pants and underwear, Lucas got a little nervous but said nothing. Once Marco could see the scar he just thought to himself “ouch…….poor guy…….I’m glad I met him, so I can help him be whole again.” 
“Mac this is getting a little awkward”
“Oh……….um………sorry you just look so…….tasty”
Lucas just blushed and pulled up his pants.
“Now hold up your end of the deal please”
“Of course I'm a man of my word. You are about to know more about me than anyone else I know. It was a long time ago I was only 6 at the time; my grandfather was employed by the CIA to……..get information out of people by force. Due to that he had many enemies who wanted nothing more than to see him suffer. Those enemies are the ones who cut this chunk out of my ear to hurt him. Ya see what happened is, they had kidnaped me to hurt him and he didn’t believe that they had me, so they cut this chunk outa my ear to prove that they had me. As for the scar on my eye, I was working as bait to lure a group of pedophiles out to an abandoned house so the police could arrest them. But it went bad and they all got shot and a couple of cops did too. But not before one of them gave this to me with a broken piece of glass……….so now you know, I hope it wasn’t too boring”
Lucas was speechless and his jaw had not only dropped to the floor, it had taken a vacation to china. 
“Mac you seem to be a magnet for danger”
“Yeah as well as random gunfire and extremely sexy foxes like you, Sonny, Edna, and Ed.”
“Hahahahahaha………….wait a minute did you just say that you think I'm sexy?”
“No I said you are extremely sexy……….you are……….dare I say it……….even sexier than Edna, Lucas. I know you are uncomfortable right now…………because of the things that josh made you do, so I'm going to shut up now, but not before I do this……..just……once.”
Marco pulled Lucas in close and kissed him longingly as a single tear of pure joy trickled down his cheek. Marco was surprised that Lucas didn’t push him away and even more surprised that Lucas seemed to be enjoying the kiss if only a little bit.
“Wow I never would have figured that you were such an amazing kisser Lucas.”
All Lucas could do was blush and try to hide the fact that he was actually a little turned on.
“I…..I’m not that good Marco………..I couldn’t be.”
“Don’t be so modest, you know you are more than that good…….now let’s wake Joshy boy up and have some ‘fun’.”
“Ok, I can’t wait till later this whole idea has me all excited.”
“Good to hear it Lucas and definitely plain to see, now I need you to go get something off of my bike while I put the pill back in. it’s the box I strapped to the back of the bike, as for what’s in it…………...well let’s just call it my box o’ fun things.” 
As Lucas walked outside to get the box off of Marco’s Harley Marco turned to Josh and after replacing the pill he SNARLED “WAKE UP SHITHEAD, WE AINT FINISHED YET.”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh………..who……….what……..I……….I’m up please……don’t hurt me…….anymore I will do anything you want……I………I’m begging you.”
“You should have thought of the consequences when you hurt someone else. Now you have to live with your mistake, speaking of which LUCAS…….LUCAS. Dammit it think I should go check on him be back in a moment.”
Marco sprinted to the door and when he got though he found Lucas knocked out on the ground.
“Lucas wake up *slaps Lucas across the face* LUCAS what happened……..wait what’s this.” 
Marco noticed a letter on the ground next to Lucas, it read
Dear Marco,

I enjoyed our time together however brief. I will be back one day, but for now I am going to merely observe as you enjoy your time here. Oh and ask Ed if he liked the roses, for me won’t you.

Truly yours,
        Caleb Harlen

“HARLEN I KNOW YOUR LISTENING TO ME RIGHT NOW, IF YOU EVER TRY TO HURT MY FRIENDS AGAIN I WILL MAKE SURE TO CUT OFF YOUR FUCKING HEAD, PUT IT IN A FUCKING JAR AND PUT IT ON SONNY’S DESK, YOU SICK SON OF A WHORE!!!!!!!! I WONDER IF YOUR SISTER IS BURIED YET BECAUSE I MIGHT PUT HER HEAD RIGHT NEXT TO YOURS!!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY WATCHING ME DO WHAT I’M DOING TO JOSH BECAUSE IMA DO WORSE TO YOU!!!!!!!!”
Marco picked Lucas up, carried him inside and set him down in the shadows next to the door where Josh couldn’t see him. 
“Lucas if you can hear me what I'm about to do will hurt a little and I was hoping to save this for later. But I think you need it, this is a shot of adrenaline………..I’m going to stab you with it………..you are about to feel more alive than you ever have before.” 
Marco stabbed Lucas in the thigh with the needle; it took only a second for the adrenaline to revive Lucas.
“Marco……..uuuuggggghhhh………my head hurts………..what happened?”
“You got hit in the head. I’m gonna go get my box once I have what I need out of it we can finish dealing with Josh and head back to my place. Give the adrenaline a few moments to spread; your head should stop hurting in 3……2……1…..now.”
“Well it hurts a bit less, but I wouldn’t say it’s better.”
“Hmmmmm you probably have a concussion I will take you to the hospital after we are done with josh ok? Lucas just do whatever you can to stay awake just in case ok?” 
“Sure but why do I need to stay awake?”
“If you have a concussion and you fall asleep there is a chance that you could slip into a coma.”
“Oh…………well than lets go get that box of yours shall we.” 
After a few minutes they had brought the box inside and had unpacked it. There were a few things in there, a car battery, a pair of jumper cables, a bottle of vodka, and a cork screw. Marco took his time and carefully considered what he was going to use first. Finally he decided on the jumper cables and car battery.
“Alright Lucas, here connect these to the battery then I will connect the other end to the table……carful don’t shock yourself, oh and this won’t kill him there is barely any charge in this thing it will go dead after about a minute.” 
After Lucas connected the cables to the battery Marco went over to josh and connected the cables to the table. Joshes back arched under the restraints, his jaw locked, his muscles twitched and tightened causing several of his bones to crack. Josh could not scream or control himself any longer he just laid there in ever increasing amounts pain praying for death to embrace him what little sanity Josh had left, left him on that table with his mind shattered. Soon the battery was almost dead so Marco disconnected it from the table and as soon as he did josh let out a scream that shattered the warehouse windows. 
“Nice one Joshy boy…….you made my ears ring and shattered glass I'm impressed. Now don’t you worry this will all be over soon. Lucas hand me the cork screw please.”
“Here you go….what are you gonna use it for?”
“I'm going to take out his left eye.”
“NNNNOOOOOOO…………….please…………..Lucas don’t let him do this to me remember all the fun times we had…………Please.”
“I do remember which is why I'm going to let him do it…………then I'm going to cut off one of your ears and your tail.”
Marco pushed the cork screw into Joshes eye, turned it twice, and then yanked the eye out of the socket Josh just wailed in pain. Marco threw the eye aside and put the cork screw into the box.
“Don’t worry I'm not going to let Lucas cut off your ears and tail Joshy boy. But I am going to let him light you on fire……….then I will put the fire out and undo the restraints. Lucas pour the vodka all over him then I will ignite it with a spark from the battery there should be enough charge left.”
“How are we going to put out the fire Mac.”
“That fire extinguisher over there next to the storage closet of course.”
“Wow this place must have only recently been abandoned.”
“I think it was some time last week that the owners just sorda left for no apparent reason.”
“Marco do you think that maybe Harlen bought it from them, or maybe threatened them to make them leave?”
“It’s very possible Lucas, but I think it had something to do with 	workers disappearing every now and then.”  
“Maybe Harlen was responsible for that then?”
“While I would love to keep up the discussion, we still have some business to conduct with Joshy boy.”
Lucas just turned to Josh and began to pour the vodka all over him. All josh could do was try to gather the many shattered pieces of his mind and try to brace himself for the pain that was to come. Marco picked up the jumper cables, waiting for Lucas to finish pouring the vodka on Josh. Marco heard something moving outside and went to see what it was; Lucas took this opportunity to speak privately with Josh. 
“Josh I'm not the unreasonable sort so I am going to give you a choice, there is a little vodka left in this bottle now the choice is this; if you drink this vodka we will leave you on fire longer or I can pour it on your face and I will put the fire out a bit sooner but keep in mind that drinking it would numb the pain a little.”
Josh just opened his mouth as he could not manage to speak and Lucas let him drink down the very last of the vodka. Marco came back in a minute or two before and saw everything but pretended that he didn’t for Lucases sake figuring that Lucas would tell him when he wanted (the noise was just a rat that was chewing through the side of the building). 
“Alright Lucas lets light him up I am getting a little cold in here.”
Lucas took the plugs and lit Josh ablaze. After 5 seconds the vodka had burned away an Josh began to burn, the flame had a green tint to it, the smoke was black as night and twice as thick. Joshes screams had caught the attention of a dock worker who rushed off to find a phone to call the police. Marco told Lucas to extinguish the fire as He gathered the things he used to torture Josh as well the things he ‘removed’ from him and his clothes what was left of them anyway. Then once the flames were out Marco removed a syringe from his pocket an injected the contents into Josh who was out cold and half dead; Marco then undid the restraints.
“We have to go now Lucas I'm sure the cops are on the way those screams will have been heard.”
“What was in the syringe Marco?”
“Memory eraser so he can’t tell the cops what happened; now come on we are leaving.”
Marco grabbed Lucas by the arm and pulled him toward the door. Marco quickly tied the box to his Harley then he an Lucas Jumped on and took off. The cops pulled up not 2 seconds after Marco had turned onto a nearby side street the cops were immediately followed by an ambulance. 10 minutes went by before the cops had secured the scene and left. 
“Where are we going Marco?”
“To the hospital I just like taking the scenic route……….Shit we’re being followed, don’t look behind us use the mirrors.”
“Marco those are Joseph Sorel's boys.”
“Hang on I'm going to turn to see if they are actually following us.”
Marco made a right turn and then he made a left immediately they didn’t follow so Marco sped off to the hospital with Lucas. It took them only 3 minutes to get there and as they walked in the door they were greeted by familiar faces. Meanwhile at the hospital about 30 seconds before Marco and Lucas walked in.
“Ed do you think Sonny is gonna be ok?”
“I don’t know Edna I just don’t know, but I'm going to kill Lucy if he dies.”
“If he dies I will kill myself Ed you won’t have a chance.”
“Lucy don’t be like that and the same goes to you Ed, Sonny is going to be just fine. Ed is……that Marco.”
“Yeah……..i think it is!” 
“Edna……Ed? What are you two doing here and with Lucy no less?”
Edna was interrupted before she could answer by Sonny's bodyguard whom until now had been silently sitting in the corner of the room like a statue.
“Sonny was shot by Sorel’s assassins protecting Lucy. We were just next to the police station. He was shot 6 times, he is still in surgery, and they say he has an 80% chance of survival. But he’s tougher that anyone I know so I'm saying he has a 100% chance of survival. As for those two they were only about 3 feet from sonny at the time of the shooting. Now why are you two here?”
Marco and Lucas were both flabbergasted. They just sat down in nearby chairs; it only took them 20 minutes to regain their ability to speak and once they had Marco answered the question posed to him thusly.
“We were dealing with a problem from Lucases past when he was hit over the head from behind then we finished our business and headed here to have Lucases head checked out. We thought we were being followed by Sorel's boys but they didn’t follow when we turned a couple of times so we might have just lost them you might want to have a few guys head over here just in case.” 

After the hospital lock down and after they had filled Sonny in on the latest happenings…………..
The building shakes as explosions break out on the fourth floor…. “Alright Sonny, stay here with Lucas, Ed, Edna, and Poke. I am going to go see if I can find your guys and Lucy on this floor anywhere, dead or alive. Don’t let him leave that bed!” Marco drew his gun and ran off to find Sonny's guys as he said he would. He searched every room, closet, elevator, and stairwell, but he couldn’t find them anywhere on that floor so he headed back to Sonny's room, he bumped into Lucy on the way. “Lucy I found you! I was worried something had happened. Come on lets go back to Sonny I'm sure everyone will be glad to see you!” she simply stared stunned that he was worried. She followed him back to Sonny's room. Once they arrived the Ed said “I'm sorry about what I said earlier I was upset and I took it out on you.” then Lucy said “I……..forgive you…..Ed……..I-I’m s-sorry I almost got you killed Sonny…….” She cry’s a little and Marco tried to comfort her but it wasn’t helping. Then Ed, Edna, Lucas, and Poke came over and tried to help. She stopped crying but was still upset. Marco looked into the hall and saw thick black smoke coming from one of the stairwells in view of the room. 
“Alright guys we need to move Sonny………..I don’t want to scare you but……..I think the building is on fire below us.” Marco said calmly 
5 minutes go by as he and the others search for a safe way out……..She turned a corner and found Marco, Lucas and Pokeinfo.
"You have to come help! Sorel kidnapped Edna. Took her to the roof, and Ed went after her."
Marco sighed, "Is anything else going to happen tonight? Let's go."
They rushed to help.
Once they find a stairwell not spewing smoke Marco says “alright Lucas take poke and Cynthia go get sonny we are moving him to the roof I'm going to go help Edna!” Marco runs up the stairs as fast as he can, his gun drawn. The others go back to Sonny's room and see Collin standing there so they hide and Lucas aims the gun sonny gave him at Collins head ready to kill him but he moves into the room across from sonny’s, for a better shot.
Meanwhile………..Marco reaches the roof seeing the cop looking at Edna and Ed he sneaks close enough to listen in and waits for an opportunity to knock him out, though he wonders where Sorel went. After listening in for a moment and hearing the cop threaten Edna and Ed, Marco got up pointing it at the cop just as the cop turned around. Marco didn’t hesitate to put three rounds into the officers chest his bullet proof vest stops all three rounds. The cop hits the ground knocked out cold by the force of the bullets. “BOTH OF YOU GET AWAY FROM HIM NOW!” Marco screams at them as he runs up and grabs the cop’s gun, then handcuffs his hands behind his back. Edna and Ed move away from the cop, Marco kicks him in the stomach to wake him up. When the officer does he looks scared as Marco has a gun pressed to his head. “I heard your little plan and there is one problem, you won’t be leaving this roof alive………at least not for long any way.” Marco drags the cop over to the railing, pressing the officer’s gun to the roof of the officers mouth and fires one round killing him, then un-cuff's him putting the cuffs in their proper place on the officers belt, wipes the prints off the officer’s gun, and puts it in his hand so it looks like he killed himself. Then he takes his bullets from the officer’s vest. “Alright are you two okay?” Marco walks over to Edna and Ed checking on them Edna unable to speak just hugs tight to Ed scared. “w-we are f-fine.” Ed stutters out. “I have to go get sonny now stay here.” Marco says then runs back down the stairs. 
Down stairs………….Sonny and everyone else waits for the elevator and just as it stops the cable pulling it snaps dropping it to the basement. “Damn what now……..” Poke says looking at Sonny who is focused on Lucas. Marco comes running out from the stairwell to find them standing around Lucas who is on a gurney. Marco runs up to see Lucas with a wound in his neck. “Damn……Sonny….what happened?” Marco says. 
“Collin stabbed him with a pen.” Sonny says somewhat casually but still caringly though he tries to hide it.
“Lucas……..this wound would normally be fatal……….but that thing I told you about………I can save you………..just nod if you accept what I offer………” Marco says looking into Lucases eyes.

Lucas nods causing him a little pain. “Alright all of you go to the roof we will be up shortly I promise.” They all give him a puzzling look objecting to being ordered away by Marco. “NOW!” Marco snarls and they all leave. Marco takes Lucas to an empty room locking the door and closing the blinds.
Insert 5 minutes of not forum friendly material here
They exit the room together Lucas is fine as they run for the roof.
As they reach the stairwell another explosion rocks the foundation of the hospital and the 5th floor is engulfed in flames. Marco and Lucas run as fast as they can for the roof and each time they get up a floor the floor below them is swallowed by flames. And their heels feel the heat of the flames rising below them. 
“Marco………if we don’t make it out of here, I just have to say what you did for me is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me……” Lucas says as he runs up the stairs.
“Don’t talk like that Lucas we will get out of here!” Marco half growls as he runs just behind Lucas up the stairs.
It takes only a few moments for them to reach the roof and the helicopter is taking off with everyone on board, except them. They run for it as flames rush from the door behind them, they leap off of the building and grab onto the skids holding on for dear life as it fly’s away from the building as it collapses in on itself. The doors on both sides of the helicopter open. The occupants reach down and pull Marco and Lucas in.
Just after they get in and the doors close Marco says “What you didn’t think I would break my promise did ya.” 
Just as Edna, Ed, Poke, Cynthia, Lucy, and Sonny grin knowing that their friends are safe, the cockpit is covered in blood and its windshield falls away in pieces, both the pilot and co-pilot slump forward dead……... 

Marco quickly makes his way into the cockpit and moves the pilot’s bodies into the back before taking control of the chopper.
Marco yells into the back “Sonny get up here I am going to need your help!”
Sonny makes his way up to the front with Marco. 
“Okay Sonny how much do you know about flying one of these things?”
“Only what I’ve seen the pilots do when I have been in a helicopter….”
“It will have to do……….I needs you to help me keep her steady while I bring her in for a landing.”
Sonny nods and gets in the co-pilots seat, Marco sees a bright flash from a roof below and moves his head a second before a bullet hits the seat and would have killed him. he turns the helicopter around to face away from the bullets and slowly takes the chopper down towards the parking lot, he sneaks a look where the bullets came from to see a pair of swat snipers sitting on the roof trying to get a clear shot at Sonny and him………….

As soon as they land Marco pulls sonny out of his chair onto the floor so he won’t get shot then Marco shuts down the chopper and gets out screaming to the federal agents who have surrounded the chopper. “those swat snipers shot the pilots, took shots at me and Sonny Scarfo whom risked his life to save this chopper full of people! Go get them I will get these people out of the chopper once it’s safe!”
Three feds move in close to the chopper and the rest run for the snipers, ducking from cover to cover, the snipers don’t try to run as they are focused on trying to get a shot and they are following orders……
Marco kept the snipers occupied by giving them shots at him, so the three feds by the chopper can evacuate the passengers, a few shots graze Marco but nothing bad enough to leave a scar. It only took a minute for the other feds to reach the sniper’s, once the sniper’s heard “FBI put the weapons down and put your hands where I can see them!!” they did just that and turned around with their hands in the air………..
