Homeless #8

By Christopher Lee Cousino

The story of Homeless finally continues...

Randy survived the bloodbath at the safehouse where Mark was being kept, leaving a trail of corpses behind him. But the one corpse he thought for sure he'd leave behind is not only still alive, but now under his protection. Mark revealed something to Randy that, if true, will change everything. Now, Randy has to get Mark somewhere safe so they can both heal up, regroup, and find out if Mark is telling the truth, or just trying to save his hide. But with the entire New Age Brotherhood and the crooked Detroit Police Department hunting the injured pair, will they survive long enough to do so?
