Looks like you got quite the set up there Mark.

[You're gonna get a big smile and a Mark hug.]

Hey, Don. It's so good to see you. I'm glad you could make it out even with all the rain. [He pulls back to look him over, glad that he's all in one piece. He knows Don's job can be hazardous.] You're not here working, are you? I mean, the NYPD said they were sending out some people for security reasons but...

[Mark hugs are the best hugs and hey it's been a while since he's seen you Mark, so of course he's going to accept it!]

Hey when I heard about it at the precinct I couldn't help but come down and see it myself. [It's been one hell of a couple of months, but he looks all in one piece. Mostly. He does look a little bit tired, but other than that he looks healthier then he did a few months ago. Like he's been taking care of himself.]

Naw I've got today off. But I did check in with the boys to see if they were alright and give them a piece of my mind. After all they're here working for you. Hank is the superior officer here, if you need him, hopefully you wont.

My little charity's gettin' bigger. It's nice... fun... maybe a little bit stressful. You look really good.

[He stands back, shoving his hands in his back pockets.] So far so good. Everyone seems to be behaving themselves. Hank seems pretty nice though.

How've you been?

It looks it. That's brilliant. You know how I've felt about your charity. You do great work Mark. I'm really glad you're there for these kids.

He's a good guy. I'm glad he's helping out, under his watch you should have everyone under control. [He leans out and pats the others shoulder playfully.] Though you seem to be doing a pretty good job without him. This is wild!

I've been alright, keeping myself busy with work. Staying out of trouble as much as I can.

Yeah, it's a big deal. Expansion. I'm about to hire and actual accountant since it's gettin' to be a pretty big deal.

[Mark smiles at the pat to his shoulder. It really is great to see Don again.] Which is probably hard since trouble and your job go hand in hand. You've been taking you time too right? Not overworking? I know how tired you were the last time we talked.

Nice. It's good to see it's really taking off Mark. I know you've put your heart and soul into all of this.

[It's good to see Mark again too. He looks so well, and happy. It's almost contagious.] Well, I didn't say I never got into trouble. [He winked.]

Yeah, I was sort of going down a dark path but, I've got some really good friends who sort of kicked it out of me. Which is nice. I feel better. But I work a lot still because you know how it is when you have too much time to think. Trying to take time off every now and again though. Got this weekend off to see a car show but we got rained out. I actually went into work to see if there was anything to do. It's how I found out about all of this.

We should really have a coffee sometime and catch up.
