This is the first of four flashback chapters. These chapters will be written in italics to differentiate between past and present.
…
Mike walks into the bedroom to see his wife still asleep. He walks over to her side of the bed and places cup of coffee on her bedside table. He sits down next to her on the bed and places his hand on bare back.
"Jane?" he says nudging her slightly, "Jane you gotta get up."
Jane's eyes flutter open, and she smiles upon seeing her husband's face. "Morning handsome."
Mike smiles, "Morning beautiful."
"What time is it?" she asks rubbing her eyes.
"It's nearly ten, you must have needed the sleep." he lightly taps her back, "Come on, let's get that beautiful ass out of bed."
…
Jane goes into their five year old daughter Chloe's bedroom and nudges her causing her to wake, "Morning sleepy head," she says smiling at her daughter's ridiculous bed hair.
"Morning Mommy."
"Come on let's get you some breakfast," Jane picks her daughter up from her bed, "Goodness you're getting heavy."
…
While Chloe eats her breakfast Mike and Jane watch a news report, "The terrorist organisation known as the 'Sons of Jacob' have committed two more attacks in both Chicago and Minneapolis. They recently released a statement warning the people of America that something special is coming very soon."
Jane watches in disgust, "What the hell is their problem?"
"I really don't know," Mike replies
"I mean they've been around five years and still haven't stated their motive for why they're doing this. It just seems like they're a bunch of trigger happy maniacs running around causing trouble."
"That's all any terrorist organisation is babe, even the ones with a motive, these guys are no different, they won't get anywhere with their goals, trust me."
