Ryan was sitting home alone watching some television. Sandy was at work and Kirsten took Seth to the doctor for his check up. He heard a knock on the door and got up to see who it was.
"Coming!" He yelled in the hall way. He got to the door and opened it. "Mr. Nichol." He said quietly, slightly flustered. Ryan knew the man didn't like him and Ryan's taste for the man wasn't much different.
"Ryan." Caleb nodded and walked in. "Where is Kirsten?" He asked.
"She brought Seth to the doctor. They should be back soon." Ryan stated closing the door.
"Seth sick?" Caleb asked. Ryan shook his head.
"No. Just a check up." He said and Caleb nodded. Caleb went in to the kitchen to poor himself a drink and Ryan followed. "I'm just going to go watch some tv." Ryan stated really wanting to leave the room. Caleb just nodded.
The next few minutes were uneventful. Ryan continued to watch tv and Caleb sat in the kitchen reading the paper and occasionally glancing at Ryan. After a half hour of this there was another knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Caleb called to Ryan. Ryan watched as he went to the door and he listened.
"Can I help you?" Caleb said to the person. Obviously he didn't recognize them.
"Yea. I'm looking for Ryan." Ryan heard a low gruff voice. He knew that voice and stood up. He went over by the corner wall where he was just hidden from view.
"And you are?" Caleb asked wondering why this man was looking for Ryan.
"His father." The man stated.
