That evening after getting home, Ben went straight to his room.
"Hey," said Jen while tapping on the door which was wide open as he sat at his computer desk working on something.
"Dinner will be ready soon so go wash your hands and come downstairs," she said.
"Right," said Ben as he excited out of a window before turning his monitor off.
"What were you working on?" asked Jen.
"Just putting how many hours I worked today in a spreadsheet I created to show how much I should be making on my check," said Ben as he stood next to her in the doorway.
"Look at who's being responsible," said Jen while messing with her son's hair.
"Mom," said Ben with a laugh as he pushed her hand away. Later as they were sitting down to eat, Jonesy arrived home.
"Sorry that I'm late," said Jonesy while kissing Jen on the forehead before heading to the sink.
"Actually you're just in time," said Jen.
"Yeah, we just sat down, normally you're not home until after we eat," said Ben.
"The bust we did today went well and I got my paper work done faster than normal thanks to it," said Jonesy.
"First day back after a vacation and already got a big bust huh?" asked Jen.
"Yeah, twelve arrests and a ton of meth off the streets," said Jonesy as he sat down before making a plate.
"I'll never understand people like that," said Ben while shaking his head.
"I don't think anyone ever does," said Jen.
"Alright, enough about my job," said Jonesy as he held his hands up out of mock defeat to his wife and son.
"Rather, I'd like to hear how your first day went, Ben," he said.
"Let me start by saying there were some heavy boxes I was not prepared for," said Ben while taking the time to massage his right shoulder to emphasize what he meant.
"Well you had better get used to it," said Jen.
