Chapter 43 - Marcus Gets a Clue

Ben walked with Marcus through the dark as long as their path was the same, and it was nice to have his friend there to talk to even if Marcus was not the friendliest one to be with. It was too early for them both. Ben had considered himself a morning person, but since the sun was not even close to rising, he still thought of this as being night. Ben was glad that the streets were so well-lit. Ben thought even though it is so early it was still a nice temperature although the sky was filled with clouds. It was way too early to tell what those clouds were going to be doing but he was glad that it was not raining. The two walked along mostly in silence, they were tired, and Marcus was on the crankier side of life as usual. He was not ready to be around Ben and his happy-go-lucky attitude this early in the morning didn't do anything but just annoy him.
