Chapter One

S o, got any plans for tonight?

Joey Adams regarded the source of the voice with his signature neutral apathy. Seeing it was a coworker at the store Joey glanced at her named tag, which read Becky, before answering.

Yep, I've got a hot date with my recliner and a ribeye steak. It's gonna be a wild one, Joey replied with a smile touching the corner of his mouth.

What?! That’s so lame! You’re young, you need to go out and have some real fun! Joey’s neutral apathy turned to slight distaste. The man yawned into his hand then turned to the burnette.

Becky had been working there for a month and should know by now his reputation that he didn't talk to people if he didn't have to.

Work is work, no need to turn it into a social club, Joey thought to himself, besides, it's my job to stock shit, attend to customers and clean. Not entertain idiot coworkers who push their ideal of a fun weekend night.

Silently, Joey punched out and headed home. The drive home was quiet just like most of Joey’s life, it was five minutes of complete silence before he even
