Jack Darby sighed as yet another car pulled away from the KO burger drive through. He really didn't like his job, he'd had it for almost a year now. Glancing at the clock Jack was happy to see only ten minutes of his shift remained. "Almost there Jack" He murmured to himself as his headset beeped, alerting him of another customer. "Welcome to KO Burger, may I take your order?"
A loud, arrogant voice responded causing Jack to mentally groan. "Yeah I'll have two fries, one double chomper and two your job sucks." The lovely customer on the other end was Vince, school bully and known harasser to the drive through.
"So the usual?" Jack replied annoyingly. "4.90 at the window." Jack made Vince's order and placed it on the window. As the teen turned his back Vince sped past and grabbed the bag of fast food. He drove off laughing as Jack spun round and stared blankly at the empty windowsill.
"Enjoy your shift, loser!"
"Great another order to pay for." Jack grumpily continued to serve customers until to his delight, the bell struck announcing the end of his shift. He stormed out of the fast food restaurant and walked to his faithful bicycle. "Arcee just had to be on a mission." He said as he climbed on and began his long bike ride home. Jack had been considering biking to base to cool off for a while but he just didn't have the energy. Eight hour shifts aren't easy. As he progressed down the road fatigue began to creep in.
Finally the grumpy, broke teen approached his house but became curious as beside his mothers car was another. A dark blue convertible to be exact. "Strange, she didn't say anything about visitors." Jack deposited his bike in the garage and continued through to the living room. "Mom I just finished my shift. Whose car was out in the-" Jack faded out as he saw June Darby sitting and laughing, with a man.
"Jack, my boy, it's good to see you." The man stood and came over to him . Shock struck him as he realized who that man was.
"Dad."
