There is one way you won't have to pay.

Not in his wildest dreams did Benny ever think that the guys would do anything but come through. So when he told them to stop Maureen's protest or they were out, he never believed that it would be any different.

It just got out of hand. His father-in-law insisted that he call the cops, which wasn't his idea in the slightest, and then the riot happened, but Mark and Roger and everyone were gone. Mr. Gray drug him to the Building and made him padlock the door.

A week later, as he was wandering up the stairs, over the wreckage of the door, he knew that the friendship was over. It wasn't something he wanted, but it was the way it had to be. It was the choice they made, it was their way of doing things. Or at least that's what he'll keep telling himself.
