Then there is Marcus Jefferson, who is running from the people he helped put in jail for drug running (who is also the uncle to Keeshan). Marcus will discover that Keeshan's Mom is dying and will come out from hiding to find Keeshan and take him in and care for him. The problem is that Callie by this time has grown to love little Keeshan, so it is a fight over who will get custody of him.
