Tears from Sly's eyes. "I can't let them hurt Maxie. What do I do? If I come forward... Maxie won't look at me the same way. She'll see how weak I am, and she'll leave me."

"Or she'll hold your hand through therapy. She'll be there when you have the nightmare and she'll help you through the trial," Zander started.

"You have to have faith in her. She's not with you because you're some macho tough guy. She loves you."

"And what happens when we try to make love?" Sly asked. "What happens when she has to picture what those guys did to me?"

"She'll be gentle. She'll understand you need time. And Maxie will know the difference between them brutalizing you and her making love to you," Zander told him.

"Listen, we don't even have to worry about this if this other victim presses charges. But if they don't, you need to do it. To protect Maxie."

"You're right," Sly told him as he looked up at his best friend. "I have to keep Maxie safe, no matter what happens to me. What about you? How are things going with you and Georgie? At least you two don't have to worry about money."

"No, but the HIV is enough. I think it's getting worse for me, man, and I don't know what to do about it," Zander admitted.

"Worse?" Sly asked as he patted the seat next to him for Zander to sit down. "Zander, the next thing worse than HIV is full blown AIDS, isn't it? Have you been to the doctor to find out what's going on?"

"I'm too scared," Zander admitted. "It's like if I pretend it's not real, it won't be."

"Zander, you have to find out," Sly told him. "Think about Georgie. If you ignore this, it might get worse. Do you really want to leave Georgie like this? You have to find out what's going on or risk leaving her behind before it's your time."

"I will if you come to the hospital with me. We can figure out what's going on with me and find out about those jackasses that attacked you. Then we'll know if you need to press charges. We'll be in this together."

"Alright," Sly told him. "I- I just want this nightmare to be over."

"I know," Zander sighed. He put a coat over his pajamas and gave Sly his own jacket. They walked to his car and Zander started the engine.

"You ready for this?"

"I- I guess," Sly told him as he got in and put his seatbelt on. "I'm just so embarrassed about this."

"I know," Zander amitted, "But trust me, you're doing the right thing. To protect Emily and Luke and Maxie."

Sly stared out the window. "Luke saved our lives tonight, Zander. I need to make this up to him, somehow."

"You can stop by his room and say hello. Maybe even let him stay with us," Zander suggested, "But the best way to help him is to get those assholes off the streets."

"You're right," Sly told him. "If they had done to him what they did to me... they might have killed him. I just hope that Maxie still loves me after this comes out."

"You'd be amazed at the depth of her love," Zander told him as they pulled into the hospital parking lot. "She was talking to me before about the wedding, she glows whenever she says your name."

"And how much of that glow's going to be there when she finds out I was lying to her?" Sly asked as he got out of the car. "When she finds out I was raped?"

"She'll understand," Zander told him. "You did all of this for her. It might take time, but she'll learn to accept it. She'll want to help you."

"There's something else," Sly said as he looked at Zander. "What if Maxie wants to make love before I'm healed? I've got bruises... everywhere below the waist."

"That's another reason for you to tell her the truth," Zander explained. "If she knows, she won't think you're rejecting her."

The two entered the hospital as Sly started getting nervous.

"I don't know if I can go through with this," Sly told him. "This is going to hard enough knowing what they did to me."

"Let's just take this one step at a time. We'll go to the emergency room and find our what's going on... if this other person has pressed charges. Maybe there's no need for you to come forward just yet," Zander comforted him.

"Remember, we're here to find out what's wrong with you, too," Sly told him. "I hope it's nothing more than a virus. You're my best friend, I don't want to lose you."
