Chapter by Dax

It was just a week before Valentine's Day and many people of the City of Jasper were going about their daily lives. Shopping for cloths and food, going to work, taking the kids to school and just having a good old day for the heck of it. However, there was one wolf who wasn't doing any of that. It was non-other then Cain Aldan, the leader of the Dark Wolf gang. He combed the streets looking for a place to hire him, but so far non wanted him because of his record.

Still, the dark wolf stuck to it. If he didn't get a job by the end of the week, Cain would find himself right back in jail, and he really didn't want to be there.

After trying out for a job at the school as janitor, he finally lucked out at the Brew House. When Lois Quillson saw who her new employee was, she nearly popped a vain in her head. Oh, how she hated him. But, do to the fact that he was on parole, Lois couldn't do anything but give him the job. After all, it was no secret that her boss was a friend of Cain's, so it was better to go with the flow then to risk getting herself canned for saying no to Cain coming in.

For the first two days, Cain worked well with no problems, but then, things changed on the third day.

Alex O'Connor and his lovely wife Belle entered the Brew House with happy faces, but had no idea that they would soon be regretting coming here for coffee. Lois greeted them at the cash register. "Hi, welcome to the Brew House. Can I take your order?" she asked following standard customer service rules of the meet and greet.

"One hot white chocolate mocha with a shot of Irish cream." Alex replied warmly.

"Ok," Lois smiled, then turned to Belle. "And for you miss?"

Belle studied the menu. Being pregnant meant she had to cut back on her food choice for her baby, after all, a healthy mother meant a healthy baby. Belle then looked at Lois. "One hazelnut mocha, no whipped cream, please," she said.

"You got it," Lois said, then went over to her Coffee Max brewer to make the drinks. The first drink she finished was Alex's white chocolate mocha, but before she could start making Belle's coffee, her manager called her to the office.

Alex and Belle were shocked when Lois' replacement was Cain Aldan.

"Hello King Bear," he smiled at the former mob boss.

Alex frowned. "It's just Alex O'Connor now." he said clearly annoyed. "Just make my wife her drink and we can leave."

The smile on Cain's face remained, but one could tell by the look in his red eyes that he hated being told what to do from Alex. Still, he had a job to do. With a snap of his fingers, Cain set to work making Belle her drink when he was done, he held it out to the beautiful ursine.

"Thank you," she smiled and proceeded to take a drink.

Cain was smirking which didn't go unnoticed by Alex or his wife. Finally, Cain broke the silence. "I used expired milk in yours, bitch," he laughed.

Belle quickly spit the coffee out onto the floor. She looked totally disgusted and shocked. Her husband was livid. "You know my wife is pregnant!" he roared. Alex quickly turned his attention to the manager's office. "Hey, Jim! I need to make a complaint about the service."

Cain's smile suddenly was replaced with fear. Knowing full well that he could lose his job over his little joke, said wolf quickly apologized and set to work making Belle a replacement drink. Once Cain was done, he handed over with a smile.

"I hope my little joke wasn't to out of the line," he said.

"CAIN!" Lois shouted coming out of the manager's office. "Quite messing around and go clean up the milk scum on the coffee island."

"S-S-Sure, right away, Miss Quillson," Cain stuttered, trying very hard not to show any sing of fear toward the said female wolf.

Both Alex and Belle almost choked on their coffee at the sight of Cain being ordered around by Lois.

Cain looked over at Alex O'Connor and gave him a death glare. "Oh, you enjoyed that didn't you O'Connor? Watching that bitch hand me my ass in a sling, well, I guess we can't always be winners like you, fat ass."

Alex took a step forward. "You called me a fat ass?" he asked with a sarcastic tone of voice. Then he looked over at Lois who was busy sorting different kinds of bagged coffee. "Lois, need a word with you," Alex smiled.

"Don't do that," begged Cain. "I'm sorry. I was just venting."

"CAIN!" Lois shouted at said wolf who was now shaking with fear. "I said go wipe down the coffee island!"

"I'm sorry, Lois. Alex and I were just talking," Cain replied, then quickly went over to the coffee island. "Bitch," he said almost a whisper, but Lois turned around and looked him dead in the eye.

"What did you say?" she asked Cain with her arms crossed like a mother scolding a child.

"Nothing," Cain lied. Not wanting to face the angry she-wolf, Cain went on with his job cleaning the coffee island. Sitting across from the coffee island was his brother Able who somehow came in without being noticed.

"Not causing trouble are you?" Able asked his brother, who suddenly turned to see him just sitting there, smiling.

"Go sit on a dick, Able," Cain cursed under his breath.

"Hey, Cain," Alex said from over at his table. "How come you don't have a girlfriend?"

"Because I prefer girls who are sluts like your wife," then Cain turned his gaze toward his brother, "and not stuck up bitches like you wife Rachel."

"At least I am not stuck at the Brew House making drinks and taking shit from the assistant manager Lois." Alex smiled.

"And at least I have a woman who will always love me and help me get off after a long day at the office," Able smiled giving his brother the bird.

Then Belle walked up to Cain and pour her drink all over the coffee island. Smiling, she said, "You missed a spot."

Cain stood there dumbfounded. He could not fathom how bad he was being treated. Then again, he did the worst thing he could think of. With blinding speed, the dark wolf slapped Belle across the face, leaving three small cuts on her cheek. Alex jumped up! Ready to kill Cain for laying a hand on his beautiful queen, but Belle quickly stopped him and smiled at Cain.

"CAIN! You're fired!" Lois said pointing to the door.

The dark wolf then turn to see that his brother and the O'Connor couple were already gone. Then it hit him.

"Oh, I see," he growled. "This was all rouse to get me fired. But be warned, I have a contact that can get me a job at Swanson's Market! And then, I'll-"

"You're fired, get out!" Lois shouted pointing toward the door.

Cain then bolted, leaving Lois with the mess, but she didn't mind one bit. She was just glad Cain was gone.

The next day…

Customers at Swanson's Family Market were busy getting their orders filled at the deli, enjoying the great customer service that the Swanson's Family Market had to offer. Things were looking like just your average day at the market, but not this time. As Kako walked up to the express lane, he could see no rubber divider to use to keep his items separate from the other customers following close behind him.

"Looking for this?" came a cheery voice from behind the register. Kako looked up to see Cain holding the rubber divider with a smile.

Kako cocked his head. "Yes," he said.

"What do you say?" Cain asked him.

That really surprised the cougar. Was Cain trying to be funny? Not likely. The dark wolf was most likely on drugs again. But, Kako replied with, "Please may I have the divider?"

Laughing, Cain dropped the divider. Kako looked around to see if there was film crew making some kind of new reality TV show about Employees messing around with the Customers. There were none around. Finally, Cain was able to speak after laughing for well over a minute. "No, you fool."

The elder cougar chocked his head in confusion. "What is your problem?" he asked.

"He's Cain Aldan, bastard father of my son, Roy Larson," Elsa said walking up with a basket full of wine, cheese, and crackers.

"Hello, Elsa," Cain smiled at the she-wolf he defiled long ago. "It been what? 18 years since that wonderful night during the prom? Surely you haven't forgotten." he said smiling at her.

"You fucking raped me, while your friends just watched it happen," Elsa replied coldly.

"And yet you keep my son around because I guess you enjoyed it," the dark wolf snickered.

"That does it," Kako said, clearly disgusted by Cain' sick since of humor. "I'm going to another lane, you psycho."

With Kako gone, Elsa walked up and put her basket down for Cain to start the checkout process. Elsa didn't want to speak to Cain anymore after that, but the dark wolf had other plans. Looking up at her, he asked, "So, how's the lesbian life treating you?"

Elsa found herself smiling. "Faith and I are very happy, and just so you know, there is very handsome wolf in out lives who satisfy sexual needs," she refused to let Cain know about her and Faith's incestuous relation with Roy.

"Is he bigger then me?" Cain asked, trying to hide his jealousy.

"He's fucking huge," Elsa then decided to temp fate with Cain. "Also, he and I have also talked about having a baby together someday. Faith is also onboard with the idea, because once I get knocked up by him, it will be her turn."

Cain felt his blood boil. Who did Elsa think he was to be talked to like this? He was leader of the Dark Wolf gang, not some loser who was checking out groceries. So, Cain quickly hid his anger with a big fake smile. "I'm so happy for you and your ex-nun lover. To bad she gave up the life of purity to be with a slut like you," he said, then slid the bottle of wine over the scanner, but deliberately missed the bar code. He kept sliding it again, acting shocked.

Elsa frowned.

"I don't understand," Cain snickered, trying not to burst out laughing. "There is suppose to be a beep."

"You're not even doing it right," Elsa said leaning in to look him dead in the eye. "Put the bar code over the scanner."

Cain quite acting and let his anger go. "Are you trying to tell me how to do my job?!" he growled. Cain looked like he was ready to attack Elsa, but a guardian angel came to her aid.

"And you won't have a job if you don't get the express lane moving," Mooch Swanson warned.

Cain looked at Mooch. Anger replaced once again by fear. "Sorry, Mr. Swanson. I'll get it moving."

Mooch gave said wolf a nod and walked off. But once he was out of sight, Cain looked back at Elsa and frowned. She was smiling at how pathetic he looked when Mooch had threatened to fire him.

In a fit of rage, Cain started grabbing items on the line and scanning them, mumbling about how he was going to kill her, her male lover, and that lesbian wife of hers. Picking up an item, he felt a little bit better at what he saw.

"What's this? Reader's digest large print, no wonder you want to have a kid," he laughed. "You are turning into an old bag of bones." Then he picked up a little blue bottle of shampoo. "Crystal blue," he laughed after reading the label. "It's a medicated shampoo for dandruff."

Cain was laughing so much that he didn't see or hear Mooch walking up to him.

"What are you doing?" Mooch asked slapping Cain across the back of the head with a clip board.

Cain rubbed the spot where the clip board made contact with his head. "I-I was just checking Elsa out and musing at the items she chose," he explained.

"Yeah, right," Elsa scoffed. "Those items are not mine. You didn't put down the rubber divider."

Cain quickly realized his mistake. He stuttered something, before a voice spoke up behind Elsa.

"I use the Crystal Blue you son of bitch!" an elderly gray furred wolf growled. Mooch, Cain, and Elsa all turned to look at her. It was Karen Swanson, Mooch's grandmother. She looked at the dark wolf and said, "I should have my little butter ball fire your ass."

"No need granny," Mooch smiled, then proceeded to rip Cain's name tag off.

"You're fired," he said pointing to the door. Cain then walked out of the Swanson's Family Market, cursing as he did.

Luckily for Cain, he managed to find another job at the Norther Rebel Book Store. Although, it was very clear that Sam O'Brien and Dax Sterling did out of "Christian Goodness," even though they thought Cain was the devil himself. But, to their surprise, Cain seemed to do his job well. He did as he was told, minded his manners with customers, and surprised the boys with some historical facts about their favorites events that even they didn't know. For once, Cain though he found the perfect job…

Until he got a massive punch to the ego.

"Babe," Terra called to Sam, a mischievous twinkly in her eye as she walked hand in hand with Sweets to the back of the almost empty store, "Sweets and I are heading to break."

"Alright Babe," Sam called back as he and Dax donned heavy winter coats and gloves, "me and Dax are heading out to get us some lunch. And Cain, while we're out, you listen to the girls and make sure to give the store a once over with dusters."

"Got it boss," Cain replied from behind the front counter with a genuine smile, which was returned by Sam and Dax, only for their smiles too quickly turn more playful as soon as they stepped out of the store.

"How much you want to bet they beat the living shite out of 'em?" Sam inquired, almost certain that Cain was in for an ass whooping when he came across, and would most certainly get involved in, one of Terra and Sweets's breaks.

"Ten bucks says he's out on his ass in five minutes," Dax responded, with a laugh, only for the laugh to suddenly stop as they heard the door open thirty feet behind them, a flustered, and clearly embarrassed Cain, stopping his way in the direction of his two bosses.

"I quit," he mumbled as he pushed past them, a blush clearly bleeding through his already dark fur. Curiosity getting the best of them, the boys returned to the store, quickly making their way to the back room to find Terra and Sweets, in only their bras and panties, crying from laughter.

"What did you two do?" Dax asked, a teasing smirk on his lips.

"Well," Sweets began in between giggles, "Cain came back hear and found us getting frisky."

"We actually offered him to join," Terra added in, only for snorts of laughter to resonate in her nose, "bu let's just say that it's true that 'men can'tt handle laughter at the mighty sword.'"

"Or Cain's case," Sweets added in, another big round of laughter building in the two at was said next.

"'The seven-inch knife!"

"Hey," Sam playful chided the now dying girls, "it's not the size, it's how you use it."

Unfortunately for Cain, he did not see it that way. And the worst part was, as he walked to the outer limits of Jasper, he felt the bulge in his pants become increasingly uncomfortable with the chilling wind. But, as walked past the famous Jasper Convent, he noticed a sign on the door for job he thought he might thoroughly enjoy;

Organist Wanted.

"I guess being celibate can make these nuns pretty horny," he said to himself with a sly smile as he let himself into the convent to give each nun some much needed relief. Only the moment the sound of his zipper was heard, it was quickly followed by a scream, and the sound of a palm making contact with a cheek. And the next moment, Cain came out of the church, rubbing a now sore cheek as clear annoyance radiated from his being.

"Well why do you say organist if you don't me-I don't understand the world anymore!"

But as Cain walked away, he failed to notice a certain someone who was coming to pay a visit to some old friends.
