To save his wife's life, Easton didn't have a choice but to take up a job, and he found one as a pizza delivery(递送) man at Rooster's Pizza. On his first day on the job, his co-workers judged him because the sight of an 84-year-old pizza delivery man was undoubtedly a rare one. But Easton didn't care.
After delivering the first two orders that day, Easton was on his way to deliver the third one, when he realized his car was low on gas. He stopped at a gas station, worried he would be late for his next delivery. Determined to make it on time, Easton grabbed the steering wheel and drove as fast as he could. However, as he reached one of the main roads, a police car stopped him.
When Officer Jenkins and Officer Matthew walked up to Easton's car, they were shocked to see an 84-year-old behind the wheel of a pizzeria car. Moreover, they didn't expect an old man to be speeding.
"You see," Easton said nervously, "I am running late for pizza delivery. We have a policy of delivering pizza within 45 minutes, or I'll have to pay for it out of my pocket, and I need money for my wife's treatment. I hope you understand…"
Officer Matthew looked at Easton's teary eyes and trembling hands and felt deeply sad for him. However, he couldn't go against his line of duty. They had to give him a ticket anyway. Easton was late for the delivery that day, prompting his manager to deduct(扣除) it from his salary. He was also warned that he would have to leave if he repeated the mistake.
Not losing heart, Easton set out for his deliveries the following day. "Rooster's Pizza!" he shouted as he rang the doorbell of one of the houses on his list.
