=Daryl's Pov
"Well, Baby brother! I got a job for ya'!" Merle yelled to me, even though we were setting at the table together, while Amy and Andrea made dinner.
"God damn it Merle! If you don't quiet down! Daryl is sitting right beside you!"Andrea screamed at Merle. I've gotta say, they are a good couple, I just hope Merle doesn't ruin it.
"Shesh woman! It's my god damn house! I'll scream as loud as I want to!" but I could tell that Merle would comply with what Andrea had told him.
"Anyways, as I was saying baby brother," Merle carried on with what he wanted to tell me, in a calm voice, "I've found you a job."
Oh god, not another one of Merle's crazy jobs, for the last week he's been taking me everywhere to find a job, and some of them are insane; cleaning up animal shit at the zoo, taking care of old people, and being a male stripper! I just hope this one works out for the best.
Merle must've seen the weary look on my face, because he started shaking his head and saying
"Don't you worry, no need to, this one will be great for ya' prissy attitude in findin' jobs!"
"Well, what the hell is it, I can't wait all year!"I shouted.
"Calm your dick man, I was about to tell ya', but then you go shoutin' and all that shit, I don't think I should tell you now." Merle tried to look sad, but all that came of it was a smirk that was quickly wiped off his face by Andrea.
"Merle! I swear to God up above if you don't just tell the boy!" Andrea shouted as Amy and she sat the table.
"Fine, Andrea has a restaurant, and would love it if you would become a waiter there." Merle said as he hung his head in shame for being yelled at like a child.
That would be amazing, a waiter, I can do that. Before another second went by I shouted "YES!"
Everybody looked at me as if I lost my head, but Andrea just laughed while she loaded my plate up with fried chicken, beans, and corn, she really knew how to feed people.
"I glad you're happy to work there, you can start tomorrow. Were low on waiters, so you're just what we needed!" Andrea said with a smile and a pat to my back.
As we ate I bombarded Andrea with questions about the restaurant, so far I know that the name is 'Andrea's Place', not a lot of people work there, 5 waiters(including me), and 3 chefs. But apparently they have amazing food because it's the hub of Kings County, as Amy says.
We all pitched into cleaning up dinner, I thanked Andrea for being kind to me and giving me a job, she didn't have too, man, I really hope Merle holds onto her, she's a keeper.
"You know what? I think we should go out for a drink, to celebrate Daryl on getting a job!" Merle announced randomly.
"I don't know Merle, it's kinda late, and we have work tomorrow." Andrea said while motioning to her, Amy, and I. Wait! Amy works there!
"Amy, you work at Andrea's restaurant?"I questioned her as Merle and Andrea talked about getting drinks.
She smiled, "I sure do, I'm a waitress." She said proudly.
"Cool, at least I'll know somebody." I'm glad Amy works there, I was nervous about not knowing anybody.
"Well, I guess one celebratory drink won't hurt. But nobody gets shit-faced!"
On that note, Merle and Andrea rode together in her Bug, and Amy and I took my truck. We drove past the County Line, into the middle of nowhere. A few miles of seeing nothing in the darkness, I was starting to wonder if Merle got us lost, but soon I saw a billboard light shining, the billboard was right across from what I'm guessing is the bar.
The bar looked run down, like an old log cabin, with signs hanging everywhere, the name of the place was on a big flashing light that read 'The Milking Hog'. This looked like a bar that never saw new guests, but Merle swore that he always used to come here, so we entered at our own risk.
========Rick's Pov
The sun was shining like something unreal today, not a great day for the Zoo, but Lori insisted that she needed space, I don't know why, but I have a feeling like she's hiding something from me. She's been so awkward, and guilty looking around me, then when I say something, she yells at me and I'm on the couch again, for trying to help my wife. But it must be me; I mean nobody else is noticing it, when I ask Shane about it he just says that everything seems normal and that I'm probably stressed and not thinking right.
Anyways, I'm glad Carl and I will have some time together, we never really hang out and I hate that, one day he'll have no time for me, so I have to take what I can get now.
"Man, look at that bear, Carl!" I pointed as one of the big black bears starting walking around its cage.
"Wooow! Dad, do you think you could ever take on a bear?!" Carl said with wonder and excitement in his eyes.
"Ohh yeah! We could both take him, together!" I laughed as Carl put his arms up trying showing off his muscles. Soon we were walking again, taking in all the different animals and their exotic cages.
When we reached the back of the Zoo, Carl was ready to go home, but he didn't want to walk back, so I ended up carrying him on top of my shoulders.
On our way home, we stopped by a little ice cream store, as we were ordering our ice cream, Sophia, one of Carl's friends, walked in, they hung out and decided that they wanted to have a sleep over.
"It's alright by me, but you have to ask Sophia's mom."
So Carl ran over to Mrs. Peletier and asked very politely, if he and Sophia could have a sleepover. Mrs. Peletier, who informed me to call her Carol, said that it was fine by her and that they could go to her house. Carl was so excited, we didn't have anything packed for him but its only one night, he should be fine.
I waved them goodbye and kissed Carl on the head, once they left I headed home.
I'm glad Carl went out with a friend; he needed to spend time somewhere else. It's also good that he went out because I might be able to have a real conversation with Lori and really talk to her. I want to get over this bump in the road, because that's all it is, I don't think our marriage is ruined, not yet.
As I pulled into our drive-way, I noticed that Shane's car was right behind Lori's; I wonder what he could be doing here. He's been missing a lot of work during the day and then coming back in the evenings, it was odd, I barely saw him anymore.
I walked up the walk-way leading to the front door and opened it with my key, when I walked in I didn't see anybody, huh? Maybe they went outside, so I walked down the hallway heading towards the backdoor, when I heard the strangest sound coming from Lori and I's room, it was almost like a panting noise, then a moan. What the….
When I opened the door to my room, I found Lori and Shane, having sex! In our house! On our bed!
"Lori?" I couldn't even believe the amount of betrayal in my voice. "Shane?"
They both jumped up and away from each other, then froze. Shane was the first one to speak, "Man…I ….I didn't ..." he stuttered.
I just stood there, frozen. Not believing what the hell I was seeing.
"Rick Please, honey, say something?" Lori pleaded, I could clearly see the guilt in her eyes, and for some reason, that angered me so much, all I could see was red.
"You want me to say something!? I have nothing to say to you or you!" I pointed at Shane, "You betrayed me, our trust, Lori! With my best friend too, and to think how much you've been yelling at me! Making me think you being distant and not talking to me was my fault! Well, guess what! This is all you Lori..." I took a deep breath, "You know what? I'm not dealing with this right now."
I walked right out of the room, left the house and sped away before they could say one more thing to me. I was outraged, why would they do this to me, I mean, what have I ever done to them! I needed to found somewhere to get away from this town; it's just too much right now.
All I did was drive, all evening, until it was dark and I was lost, I know I was a couple miles outside of Kings County, but that's all I know. So, I decided to drive a little further up when I saw a light, oh thank god, it was a bar, I could really use a drink and some directions.
I passed a big billboard before turning into the bar parking lot, it was filled with trucks and bikes. The bar looked old and run down, but the beer can get me drunk just like any other bar.
When I walked up to the front door I read a sign that must have been the name of the place 'The Milking Hog'?
