Adam scoffed when the young man said that sorry didn't change what happened. Of course not! But it wasn't as though Adam had the words or even the feelings to explain to someone else why he did what he did. He ignored the young man, opting to not respond to that statement at all. He didn't need someone telling him he'd done wrong when he already knew what he'd done.

Adam started to close his car door, when the young man said something else. It made Adam laugh a little... "Gee, thanks, kid." He chuckled. "It's really nice of you to not tell the cops." Then Adam closed the car door completely. But not without rolling down the window so he could still talk a little, "Why are you even out here?" He asked. "Don't you have parents or someone looking for you?"

Adam knew that this young man wasn't a kid... But he liked to tease.
