News reader – Let us go now to our reporters on the streets of London for an up to the minute update.

Film footage over the streets of London played on the television, smoke bellowing from tube station entrances, people fleeing torn clothes black with smoke and covered in blood, rescue teams rushed to their aid.

Dana – Fuck Alice

It then only dawned on her that Alice was t Liverpool street this morning she ran upstairs to grab her phone, frantically dialed the number “Network Busy” flashed on her screen.

Dana sat glued to the television for the next two hours, constantly dialing alices number, but to no avail, as everyone in London was trying to make sure their loved ones were ok.

There  was a knock at the door, Dana raced to answer it, hoping it was Alice, maybe shed forgotten her key, but no it was Mrs. Murray from next door.

Mrs. Murray – are you ok my dear, we know alive was going into town today please tell me you have heard from her

Dana – burst into tears – she did go and I cant get hold of her – she sobbed

Mrs. Murray – come on, come next door with us, don’t worry im sure she’s fine.

Dana grabbed the keys and went into the apartment next door.

Mrs. Murray poured her a cup of tea and they went and sat in the sitting room in front of the TV,  Mr. Murray was sat in the corner watching intently shaking his head and talking to himself.

Mr. Murray – bloody bastards, I didn’t live through the blitz to be blown up on a bus, you bastards,

Mrs. Murray – where was Alice going did she say?

Dana – she mentioned Liverpool street

Mrs. Murray – oh god, right well we need to start calling hospitals, but to be honest I think we should leave it a few more hours and let them do their jobs first.

Dana – ok

Mrs. Murray – all we can do is wait, knowing Alice she’ll come skipping up that path any minute.

The hours passed, there was still no word from Alice, Dana was beside herself with worry.  They tried calling the number that appeared on the TV screen again and again but it was constantly engaged. There was no point in going out to look as London was at an absolute standstill.
