Lending A Hand
Eric decided he wanted to change his life after reflecting on it for a time. He was aware that Mark was the only one who could be of assistance to him in this situation. After much thought, Mark agreed to help when he was contacted from prison.
Paying His Bail
Because Mark still didn’t want Sara to know anything about his family, he had to keep his assistance to Eric a secret. He feared she would try to get in touch with them. The lost funds were used to cover Eric’s bail and assist him in getting back on his feet.
