Chapter 51 - Once upon a time

10 Years Ago...

It was a beautiful springtime day in Chicago. Peace and quiet reigned in a suburban neighbourhood. The friendly people seemed to enjoy the soothing silence as they minded their own business. All except for one house.

It was decorated in balloons and party strings. For a birthday party, it was surprisingly quiet. The little kids that were invited just sat on their plastic chairs with boredom plastered all over their faces. It was clear that neither of them wanted to be there and this was all because of Mrs Jones.

She stood firm and still in her four inch heels. Her boney structure was decently covered by her red office suit. Shielding her eyes from the sun were a pair of sunglasses. Her dark her was allowed to flow down her shoulders. Mrs Jones kept her eyes down the road anxiously waiting and looking down at her watch.
