Ricky is still in a coma as Mark leaves the room. It was night time in the hospital and Mark couldn't sleep so he decided he was going to go roam around. He went to the cafeteria with the money that Hardy left for him and while down there he seen a guy with the name of Gill. Gill had two broken legs an arm in a sling a neck brace, and a bandage around his head. Mark found this interesting so he went and sat with him and comes to find out that Gill was also a lawyer. Knowing this Mark went back upstairs to the floor his brother was on, and was looking for through the phone book because he believed that he needed a lawyer while talking to the FBI. The FBI wanted to talk to him the next day. Well Mark left the hospital the next day and went to get himself a lawyer. Her name was Reggie. So Mark and Reggie walk back to the hospital to talk to the FBI.
I think it's good that Mark is taking the initive to do stuff on his own but maybe he should talk to his mom about the whole situation first. Reggie seems to be a nice lady and she seems willing to help Mark out with his case, pretty much for free.

Thursday 2/12/09
The Sway family along with Hardy arrived at the hospital where Dr. Greenway was going to try and help Ricky. While Greenway was trying to figure out what happened, he called Mark in to hear his side of the story. After he heard all that happened he said that Ricky has post dramatic stress and that he wouldn't wake for probably another day. While Mark was in the room with the doctor the FBI showed up to do finger prints of Mark's because they discovered that there was someone other than just Romey in the car. For the time that Ricky had to stay in the hospital the other members of the family were also encouraged to stay so Ricky felt secure.
I think that it was good for Mark to actually tell the truth instead of lying. I believe it made him a better person and it made him feel a large burden be lifted off his shoulders.

The Client
Pages 22-43
After Mark and Ricky witnessed Romey shoot himself in the mouth, Ricky decided it was time for them to get out of there. Romey was under a lot of stress with his client because he was a killer from New Orleans that was nicknamed The Blade, because he always stabbed people. One of the important people he stabbed was Boyd Boyette, a U.S senate guy. He hid the body under Romey's new garage floor. Knowing all this it put Romey under a lot of stress that he wasn't wanting to handle although he was a lawyer and they went through those kind of things. Mark ended up following Ricky back home noticing on the way that Ricky was running really funny and when he got home he crawled on the couch rolled up into a ball and sucked his thumb. Mark knew this wasn't normal and he was scarred for his brother but didn't want his mom to find out so he drug Ricky back to his room and threw him in bed. He left his mother a note saying that Ricky was in bed and that she ought to be quiet. Mark went back down to the woods because he called 911 to tell them what happened and he wanted to watch them investigate the scene. Next thing that you no is a cop comes up and scarres Mark. Mark didn't want to deal with the cops because he knew far to much about Romey but didn't want to spill the beans. He kept telling the cops a lie and so then the cop, Hardy, took him home. As he was walking in the door his mother was freaking out, not only about how late it was but also about Ricky. Hardy asked to see Ricky and explained that they should take him to the doctor because the last case he had seen the 8 yr. old boy needed lots of help. They rushed him to ST. Peters hospital by ambulance and all.
These pages showed a lot of different emotions. Mark was only trying to be responsible to an extint it wouldn't have hurt him if he would have told the truth. I don't understand why he wouldn't he could save many people from the Blade. Mark shouldn't have left his brother to be alone either because you never no what a kid that's depressed could do.

The Client
Pages 1-22
In the book The Client, there were 2 boys named Mark and Ricky. They were brothers that had a mother but no father. Mark was considered the man of the house because he was the oldest boy. The two of them wondered down to the woods not that far away from where they lived and they were planning on smoking. After smoking their first cigarette they seen this man trying to commit suicide. He was putting a hose on his exhaust and bringing the other end into the car. Mark didn't want to see someone do that so he snuck up and unplugged the hose from the exhaust only Romey caught him. Romey didn't like Mark for what he did so he was going to make him suffer too. Mark was one scarred little boy because he didn't want to die yet. Ricky was watching all of this happened so he went and unplugged the hose once again so his brother wouldn't die from in hailing the fumes. After Romey was taking a little nap Mark escaped and back to the initial tree they were hiding under.
So far this book makes you think a lot, but its really interesting. I consider Romey to be evil because he put a young boy's life in danger because he himself wanted to die.

Chapter 26
In the final chapter Holden explains that he went back home and was sent to the rest home and that he will continue school in the fall at a new school. He wished that he hadn't talked about all his past experiences with D.B because it makes him miss all the times he had along with the friends.
The whole time that Holden thought he had bad is now missing the times he had. Looking back on this book if Holden would have had someone to talk to the whole time he probably would have had a better life.

Chapter 25
In this chapter Holden left the Anotlini's house and went to the train station to stay the next night. When he woke kept walking up and down 5th ave. While doing so he was very nervous and kept yelling out to Allie. After pacing up and down 5th ave, he went to Phoebe's school to tell her to meet him at the museum. While at his old school he became very depressed and didn't like how he seen the words F*** You wrote on the walls. So he soon left and went to the museum and while there he also seen the words F*** You. While meeting Phoebe at their planned exhibit she was begging him to take her with and even packed a suit case. Phoebe was so mad that she gave him back his hunting hat, so angrily they both go to the zoo, but walk on diffent sides of the street.
I think that Phoebe needed to just understand that Holden wanted to go alone. But after loosing one brother I'm sure it was hard.
