Treatment First Draft (Rock Bottom)

Ron Glover laid on his family room couch, surrounded by empty beer cans and microwave dinner trays. Empty he thought, just like his life has been since Darryl disappeared. He sulks for weeks over his presumed to be dead son. The feeling of loss is not unfamiliar to him. During the war, he had lost many friends. He remembers the pain of losing them as well as his own son. He continues to sulk. His mental state is deteriorating and he has burst of anger where he hurts himself. This leads to a moment where he goes to the bathroom to kill himself. Ron is about to slit his wrists when he hears a knock on the door. It's Marcus and his parents along with Ron's ex-wife and Ron's parents. They say they have been calling for days. They have good news. They know where Darryl is and they are going to help get him back. Alive.
