The Hitting Zone

We rejoined Mom and Dad minus the regional team employees. It took a load off knowing that they weren't waiting around to keep talking to me. What more can be said besides 'welcome to the team'.

"How ya feeling, Jake?" Mom asked me.

Mom looked at Dad and they shared a look. Mom turned back to me with a raised eyebrow. "Jeremy said you had to go to the restroom. Did you throw up?"

I shook my head. "No. I thought I might and panicked. But I just needed a break."

"Yea, Mom. Jake's fine." Dave added his two cents. "I was right behind him the whole time. He didn't even go in the bathrooms. He was just doing some deep breathing next to the building. Just loves those shit fumes I guess."

I pushed him. "You're disgusting."

Dave laughed. "I'm kidding. Everything's fine. Jake is excited to be on the team."
