In Detroit Michigan, in a public highschool, the students have already heard about the bombing in Seattle. Although it is thousands of miles away, this puts just about everyone on edge. A senior boy named Mohammed walks down the hall with a goth girl named Christina. Neither are very popular, today they seem suspicious. Four in particular, Paul, Mary, Abe, and Don, make nasty comments as Christina and Mohammed walk by. Mohammed insults Paul back. And soon all six of them are engaged in a physical fight in the hallway. Security guards pull everyone apart as principal Lerner comes, and angrily orders everyone into his office.
.
Lerner: What happenned?
Mohammed: Paul insulted me, I insulted him back, and he attacked me.
Abe: Paul was just nervous on account of what Mohammed's cousins did in Seattle.
Mohammed: A white non-muslim commits terrorism and somehow I still get blamed.
Christina: Not to mention this bitch Mary attacking me, again.
Mary: You attacked Paul, because Mohammed isn't man enough to defend himself.
Lerner: Enough! This school has a zero tolerance policy for violence. I am aware of the accusations made between the six of you. I was hoping you could all get over it. A part of me would like to expell you all right now, but I still have hope you can learn. So, two weeks detention for all of you. One word from any of you and it becomes three weeks. No, all of you, get to class.

Kim was driving Jack to her house.
.
Kim: The kids are at school, also they're staying at Stephen's apartment this week.
Jack: You two are seperated? Did he stray?
Kim: Actually, I did. It's not something I'm proud of, but it happenned.
Jack: We all make mistakes Kim.
Kim: So anyway we're seperated, trying to be civil for Teri and Stephen jr. Maybe we'll get back together, I don't know. There's something else. Stephen thinks you might have PTSD because of all you've been through. I'd like to set up an appointment for you this week with a psychiatrist.
Jack: Yeah, that might be a good idea.
Kim: Stephen's worried, about you around the kids. I'll fight him on this, but he wants to know you're okay before he lets you around them.
Jack: I understand, he's just looking after his children, my grandchildren. I'll go to the psychiatrist.

In Chicago the police are on alert. Two police officers are standing outside an abortion clinic. There are about a dozen or so protestors outside. Most of them seem non-violent, these cops even know a few. But, especially today, there is the danger that one of them could resort to terrorism. Maybe related to a larger conspiracy, maybe just emboldened by what happenned in Seattle. At any rate, these two cops remain alert.
