When they arrived at a Waffle House Christy doesn't waste any time ordering the biggest meal on the menu. Jennifer could tell it had been a long time since she had ate so well and figured she could probably use it. Christy's biological father died during the Vietnam War. Four years later her mother would marry again, and this time not to someone nearly as loving. He was great in the beginning of course, they usually are, but it wasn't long before he quit working and became physically abusive. Christy was looking for any excuse to get out of that place and one day that opportunity rolled up in a shiny Trans Am. Those were the good times, but it all changed when the pregnancy test came back positive. His response to this news was everything she had feared and after that she knew she had to get out.

Christy knew that once she saw Jennifer starring her down the only way to face the situation was head on. She stepped out from where she had been standing and heads for the car. She plays it cool though and manages to do some fast talking to explain her intentions. She convinces Jennifer that she knew her dad well and for the price of a meal she could tell her some things about him that no one knows but her. Jennifer is intrigued by her offer and decides to take her up on it. Christy begins her tale by talking about her mother and Henry. Henry was Christy's biological father. He was good at the farm and even better to Christy's mom, but that fairy tell would end soon enough.

Christy had nowhere to go and out of desperation she began to hitch hike, and that's how she met Jack. He always did have a thing for strays and she definitely looked the part. He gave her two days to consider if she wanted him to help her, and then left her alone to think it over. She used that time to rest and when it was over she was ready for him to take her home. Unfortunately, there wasn't much home for her to go back to. Her mom was gone and her daddy was in the pen for murder. Her momma had finally gotten up the courage to leave and there was now way he was going to let that happen. Even though she was now an orphan Jack had a plan. He had a place he could take her and they would be willing to help as long as she was willing to let them.
