INT. A KITCHEN
Shot of a steaming hot coffee mug on a kitchen work surface, with the figure of someone in the distance. A female with blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail and just in modest clothing. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a hand grasps the coffee mug and it flies off in the direction of the person in the background. We then realise that this person has the ability of elasticity. Camera shot, moving along the kitchen work surface, displaying the words "CHAPTER ONE- WAR" to the woman- she is in her mid 30s with looks reminiscent of definite beauty in her youth, however, time has started to take its tole on her. This woman is CARLY. She moves over a to a CD player further along the kitchen work surface, and flicks it on, going to track 4 and on comes a classical piece of music. She then moves over to the kitchen door and looks up the stairs.
CARLY:
Kids, you up yet?

A well-dressed man in his early 40s rushes into the takeout joint, holding his briefcase over his head as it is heavily raining. This man is STEPHEN. He runs over to the free cashier at the desk, taking off his steamed up glasses in the process and dries them on his suit jacket, mumbling to himself about the terrible weather.
CASHIER:
Can I help you, Sir?
STEPHEN:

One is evidently the leader, he is named PATRICK. Shot to CARLY as a sense of fear suddenly erupts on to her face.
WOMAN (SCREAM):
Please, no!

PATRICK:
I'm gonna get ya' this time!
He charges past all the other customers within the takeaway joint as they all cower in fear of the shooting man. Shot to the STEPEHEN, who stands up holding out his hands.

One of which is actually the cashier from the takeaway joint.
BOY:
Mum!
