Chapter Two
Nick (Troubled Teen)
Crying and Running like there's literally no tomorrow, he has a flashback of what just happened. The sound of the shot haunts him, and the pain in his leg from hitting it on that trash can makes it hard to run. He's so scared his blood's rushing and is low of oxygen from not being able to breathe. Soon thoughts of him losing his job disinagrate as ideas raced back and forth whether he should go to the police, or run home and hide under his full sized bed

Anna (Single Mother)
Anna doesn't have a car, but luckily their home is only a few blocks away from the school. As they walk down the sidewalk, sirens begin to flare, cop cars sped pass them faster than she's ever seen them go. "Someone important must be in trouble," she thought sarcastically. The neighborhood they live in is not one of the greatest. Only a few times have there been shootings; but on a regular basis there are fights. Anna tries to hide Maddy away from the area they live by keeping her inside, but it is the only place that she can afford.
A few minutes goes by, after getting home, and Anna's phone rings. It was her boss Cindy on the phone and she was calling because some lady from work had a family emergency and they needed her to cover the shift. Anna rushes Maddy back into her coat as Maddy begins to cry. "You promised Mama, you promised."
"I know chika (1), but I have to go, we will do it tomorrow, I promise."
"Never make a promise you won't keep, that's what Daddy use to say."

Michael (Lawyer)
He pulls into the parking lot of Andy's school and sees barley any cars. It was bare and empty, filled with only yellow lines. Obviously the play was over and he missed his son perform. He turns around and heads home as fast as he can.
Michael walks though the beautiful wood door of his home to find his wife cleaning up after dinner. He takes off his jacket and puts his suit case down, knowing what's about to happen.
"Don't even give me that look."
"Ellen, I'm really am sorry!"
"You think that is actually going to work this time. You say that every time this happens, Michael."
"I got held up at work, and lost track of time."
"Don't tell me, go talk to your son who cried because his daddy didn't get to see him all dressed up as Abraham Lincoln."
The arguing went on for a while until he walks to Andy's room. He opens the door, that has block letters that say Andy on it, and walks in. Andy was in his bed reading a dinosaur book. Andy saw his dad and turned away from him. Michael walks over and takes a seat on an empty space on the bed. "I know you're mad at me, and you should be because I should have been there. Your mom said you were really great out there tonight." Still no words came from Andy as he laid facing the wall. "Look I wanna make it up to you. I'm thinkin we should go camping, what you say, just you and me." Andy turns around and smiles, all he says is you promise. Michael promises and tucks Andy into bed and says goodnight.

Jose (Security Installer)
He's driving trying to keep his eyes open by listening to some music. He had a least six jobs that day to complete and it took him all day. First, he gets the call and drives to the destination. Second, he installs the equipment, which takes a couple hours. Then lastly, gives the bill and heads off, just to do it all over again. He doesn't complain though, because it's good pay. His daughter had a birthday coming up and he wanted to buy her something special, so he didn't mind the hard work.
He was finally done for the night and was heading home, when his beeper went off. He was on call most of the nights meaning anything that came up went to him. So he turned around and headed for Summer Heights, a very nice neighborhood.

Jack (Cop)
Everyone stared, wondering why he was still at the station. He sat at his desk looking into his computer. An emotionless blank filled his face. It was as if nothing was going through his head, not anger nor fear corrupted him. An hour went by and nothing, not even a blink satisfied the officers around him. Then like a car on the interstate, the flashbacks came into his head. Bang, Bang, and then nothing but him and his partner blood. He slams open one of the draws to his desk, and like an addict, can barley open the bottle of pills because he was to eager. Without hesitating he pops two into his mouth, and leans back in his creaky chair and breaths deeply.
Sergeant Aymes walks out of his office and his door slams behind him. Jack, heart races as his body jumps. His sergeant walks over to him and ask him to meet him in his office in ten.
"Ugh, sure boss, no problem."
Ten minutes goes by and he sits patiently in his office. When he comes in and sits down he knows something's up. "What is it sergeant?" He then tells jack that everyone's talking and that he thinks after everything that has happened that he should take a break. Jack stands up and begins to yell that nothing is wrong and that he can still do his job. Sergeant Aymes, tells him it's not permanently its just a little vacation. Jack looks at him and shakes his head. He grabs his jacket and slams the door on his way out.

Tiffany (Trophy Wife)
Lying on the floor with cuts and bruises, she begins to cry. This time it was because she had given him a wrong look. Her Husband Manny gave her everything she ever wanted except love. On a regular basis he would hit her till she bled. The only time she was free was when he was out of town or at a movie shoot.
"I'll be back in a few hours and this better be cleaned up!" Then he walked out the door.
As soon as she heard his car start up she crawled to the table to help herself get up. Fist, she went to the bathroom to get cleaned up. She pored bactine into the wounds and she winzes in pain. After covering her wounds she goes to her bedroom and opens her nightstand draw. She picks up a baggy containing pills and takes out two. She then places them in her mouth and lies on her bed.

Jose (Security Installer)
It's about nine o'clock and Jose was drinking a cup of coffee. It was his day off so he got to sleep in. His plan was to go shopping for his daughter's birthday present. He took his cup of coffee and grabbed his keys. When he gets in the car and begins to drive off his beeper goes off. He shys as he stops at a light, and puts his head on the wheel. Angrier than ever he turns around and heads back home to grab his things. He figures the shopping is just going to have to wait till tonight.
