In the morning, Marcus got ready and came to the living room, where Daisy and John both came running over.
He poured dog food and water for the dogs and stroked their heads, saying, "Be good and watch the house, I'll be back before noon to have lunch with you."
The two Labradors circled around him once and then went to enjoy their breakfast.
Marcus closed the door and climbed into a pickup parked on the side before driving off to Sherman Oaks.
The day before, he had arranged with Chad to meet with Martin Davis that morning at the Angel's Club.
Marcus took this very seriously as it concerned his potential career transition into the long-cherished film industry.
If not as a real actor, doing stunts or working as a firearms instructor for action movies would do just as well.
Now that Marcus had left the military, he no longer wanted a job that was all about fighting and risking his life.
Knowing Chad and Martin also provided him an opportunity to break into Hollywood.
