CHAPTER 20 – PAYBACK TIME

Several hours after their “all cards down” session, Collin had Brock get in the Jeep with him. Collin had to go to work and Brock had to find another job immediately.

As soon as they left the driveway, he gave Brock quite the talking to — reminding him that the agreement was for him to stay three months while he was getting on his feet. Brock was supposed to be earning an income and saving up money so he could afford his own place. Getting a job was a wonderful thing, but he had to learn to maintain steady employment.

“If you want to continue living under this roof, you have to have another job within the next seven days,” Collin said firmly. “And you must remain employed full time for the remainder of the three-month term we originally discussed.”

Brock, with a worried countenance, said, “I understand, Sir.”

“Good. Now that we’re clear on that, there is a new rule that we’re going to put into place as well.”

“I’m not a wee youngster,” Brock mumbled. “I don’t require an abundance of guidelines to adhere to.”

“Whether or not you believe you need rules is irrelevant. If you want to stay under someone else’s roof, you have to abide by their wishes. I’ll tell you the rules. If you like them, wonderful! If you don’t like them, then you have to decide whether you’re going to follow them anyway or if you’re going to hit the road.” Collin meant business and Brock knew it.

“Until further notice, I don’t want you to ever step foot in this house unless I am present. If something happens and you have to leave work early for any reason, you must find a phone and call me at work or come over to the store to tell me in person,” Collin said.

Brock looked annoyed, but what could he do? He didn’t want to be back on the streets again. He simply nodded his head to indicate he had heard the rules.

“One more thing,” Collin added. “Violation of these additional terms will force our agreement to be nullified and will bring about an immediate eviction.”

The rest of the trip to work was fairly quiet. Collin got out at Just Right and Brock took the Jeep, as he had in the past, to find another job.
