It's strange how even the most momentous days begin in such a normal way. That Friday morning - when Richard Fielding's life was about to be turned upside down - started with the usual cup of coffee in bed and a long stretch before he forced himself to join the jostling queue for the bathroom, behind little sister Anna and older sister Trish.
He hated getting up for work at any time, but he had to get out of bed even earlier this morning because of his ridiculous insistence on volunteering for a special job, when his workmates had warned him to keep quiet and never volunteer for anything. It was the special bonus payment which had attracted him, together with the prospect of taking a day out of the Accounts Department where he had worked for two years.
Twenty years old, and going nowhere fast! The thought was depressing, but at least by volunteering for the special project by the large scientific research company he worked for, he stood the chance of getting himself noticed. Who could tell, it might even give him the chance of promotion...
Breakfast was the usual state of chaos when Richard sat down at the table. Anna spent more time reading her comic book than eating, while Trish was busy fussing with her hair and make-up and trying to drink a cup of black coffee at the same time. Trish was only one year older than Richard, and there had always been an uneasy truce between them, brought about by the usual brother/sister rivalries. Richard teased her endlessly about her preoccupation with clothes and her looks.
Their father had died some years before, and their mother believed that it was the responsibility of the girls to perform the domestic chores, which caused a lot of resentment on Trish's part but allowed Richard to get one up on her.
"Come on, you lot. It's time you were all leaving." Richard's mother performed the same ritual of trying to get them to work or school on time every morning, but always with the same lack of success. Richard looked at her, and could still see why she was considered a beauty in her day. She was definitely looking tired lately, he thought - not having Dad to take charge was beginning to take its toll.
