Once more into the breach! This is a work of fiction forgive any basic errors. Constructive criticism is appreciated, feel free to leave any comment it doesn't mean I have to read it though. Today we will try to live a day at work with Jonathon and for most people this will be a greatly awaited event. However, making something you've created human is sometimes painful. To show the flaws you've failed to smooth out in your art is never something I've enjoyed.

Jonathon pulled up to the shop slowly. He was already late so there was no point in rushing. He pulled around and parked in the back lot that was connected to the front parking lot by a large chain link gate that was open since it was during business hours.
"Burning Hot Customs" was poorly named but one of the best motorcycle and automotive shops in the state. It had been started by a close family friend of Jonathon's parents before he had even been born and was currently owned by the daughter of his adoptive father. Since Jonathon was old enough to walk he had been playing in the shop. When his parents had died at age nine, Jonathon had entered the foster care system and was stuck going from foster home to foster home for nearly three years, which he still didn't talk about with anyone. Finally at thirteen his parent's closest friend and the owner of the shop had adopted him. That's when he officially unofficially started working for Carl, his adoptive father.
Jonathon worked at the shop where his parents had worked to be as close to them and the rest of his adoptive family as was possible. He cut his bike off after parking it in the employee's parking lot, stopping the train of thoughts that were plaguing him. He jogged over to the back entrance and ducked inside trying to slip by the open office door without being noticed and failing miserably.
"Jon!" an angry feminine voice growled at him from inside her office, "Why are you late?" Jonathon sighed and turned to face his adoptive sister. Before he could say anything Anna was on her feet and in his face, as close as she could get for someone who was 4 foot 9. "Are you sick? Do I need to send you home?" She asked in that same rough angry, sounding tone. Anna took after her mother instead of her father so everything came out as a reprimand, even if she was really concerned.
Jonathon shrugged to Anna as he spoke, "Sorry, woke up late is all. I am human you know." Anna's sharp green eyes narrowed up at him as she reached up onto her tip toes and touched his forehead checking his temperature. Jon rolled his icy blues, walking away from her with a disdainful, "I'm fine." He didn't need her to worry about him. If there was a problem he would handle it himself, Anna of all people should know that.
He moved into the shop floor and waved sociably to the others as he passed their work areas. When he came to one of the jacks with a mostly assembled bike on it, he dropped his backpack on the counter out of the way and pulled his leather jacket off, hanging it on a nail that stuck out next to his tool chest. He set his phone on one corner of the tool chest and then stretched himself out slowly before resuming the assembly of the motorcycle he had been working on for the past month.
