The unexpected

1

It was quite night at the Parker's household. The neighborhood was quiet like any ordinary day. The Smith's, Johnson's, Martinez's , and Hunter's went to sleep at the same time as always. Tonight was like any other day with the moon shinning brightly above the sky, clouds making it appear like a fantasy. But this ordinary night wasn't as any other night.

It was 1:45 am when everything started happening and the ordinary night wasn't so ordinary after all.

Inside the Parker's house, five year old jack was in his room sleeping soundly when he woke up instantly to the sound of glass breaking. He was confused at first and thought he might have just imagined it. But not even 10 seconds later the same sound was heard echoing throughout the silent house. Jack the curious boy he was got up from his bed to go investigate what the sound was. Before he could step a foot out his door his mom, Catherine, came pushing him inside demanding him to hide.

"Whats happening mom?" whispered Jack getting frighten by the second.

"Someone broke in, stay inside until everything is safe, i'm going to go call the cops," Catherine whispered trying to find a good hiding place for her son, "I'll come get you when it's safe okay, I love you."

"I love you to mom promise me you'll come back" Jack said pleadingly not wanting to lose the only person he had left.

His mom sadly smiled and gave him a quick hug before covering him with a blanket and hurrying to look for a telephone to call the cops. Before she went to look for a telephone she locked jacks room for safety.

Catherine already knew the outcome of everything but she risked her own safety to make sure her son would be safe and without harm. Catherine had an advantage her house was a two story building, so she hoped for the best.
