As Adam is preparing to open the Dinner he notices his son about to walk out. "Where the hell are you going?"
"Out. Why the fuck do you care?" Cain replied.
"As long as you're staying here, you need to at least help part time."
"No fuckin way."
"Yes fuckin way. Now put on an apron and start making hash browns."
"Fuckin fine." Cain takes off his coat and goes to start making hash browns. Surprisingly despite his attitude he doesn't burn anything.
A few hours goes by and as usual Alice comes in for her breakfast and sits at the counter. She notices immediately that Cain is cooking at the grill. "Adam, how did you manage to get Cain to stop being a bum?" She asks.
Adam looks at Cain before looking back at her. "You two know each other?" He asks.
"Not really. It's more he's always been that homeless bum you would avoid but everyone knew the name of because the guy was the only drifter in town."
"Well that 'bum' is my dumbass son."
"Wait what?"
"You heard me."
"But you guys look the same age."
"It's complicated, and it's best that I keep you out of what we have going on."
"But…"
"No buts, now if dumass would finish your food, you could eat and not be late for work."
"Speaking of work, I was wondering if I could work here."
"I am not going to be able to pay any more than your current job."
"Yeah, but then we could hang out more."
Cain snickers a bit.
"I understand you want to hang out more, but we hardly know each other and it look weird if suddenly you just start working for me." Adam says trying to draw a line.
"I don't think so."
"Give me a few weeks to see if my finances can support bringing you on. Until then I don't want to talk about it again."
"Ok…" Alice says with a little disappointment.
Once she finishes eating and leaves Cain speaks up. "Dude, why are you not hitting that? She's a fuckin NILF and she wants to be with you."
"One, I'm your dad so don't talk like that about my sex life. And two, it's too soon."
"Too soon? You and mom ended it how long ago? Not to mention the fact you boned plenty of chicks at the same time. Wait did you get back with your first wife?"
"No, I found someone else and she not only thinks I am dead, but saw me die before her eyes."
"Honestly I can't really shit on that for once."
"Can I get a refill Sir?" A random customer who couldn't give two shits about their family drama asks.
"Got it." Adam says.
