Maggie then turned on the TV and was enthralld to see that her favourite quiz show was due on in about 15 minutes. Daniel smiled and turned to face the towering stairs. He started to climb the stairs. He reached the landing and for some unknown rationality decided to turn around and stare out of the window. He s crystallizeped tipped his head to one side and thought about something for a second, said a brief de-ja-vous and carried on with his quest which was to contract a bath.Daniel reached the bathroom and started to run a bath. After a brief shave, his bath was ready to pluck in to. He dived in and while washing himself, (and doing other bathroom activities) he thought about the day ahead.First activitie of the day was to pack some clothes as he had train voyage to deal with and then he wouldOh, I am so sorry, how can I w rite a story without describing the main character, and his family to you starting line.Daniel is a 36-year-old entrepreneur , who, at the age of twenty-two, decided to start his own occupation , making computer components. He had a bad turn at the age of twenty-six and nearly went bankrupt due to a downfall in the price of shares in the computer components.Now he is doing fine (nearly a millionaire) and him and his wife are very happy and content.He is 5ft 6in and has a distinctive chubby look about him. Daniel has a warm chubby face and sparkling hazel-brown eyes. Handsome for a 36 year old, the females might say.Mggi4e was Daniels sectary until 10 years ago, when they got engaged. Unfortunately, however, she fell on a slippery supermarket degree and nearly broke her neck. She can walk but excessive movement could severely injure her.Maggie is simply all over 5ft 4in and sort of thin. She used to have a wide stature and used to be close to overweight. She lost this weight due to a strict diet and living regime.Her blonde curly locks feed over her shoulders and are complemented by her warm blue eyes.Any air, continuing on with what the day held for him-After his forenoon shift, Daniel was to call a workers meeting, to outline his plans and to guide out raises, awards ect. Daniel then had the rest of the day off so that he could sleep to prepare to travel down to capital of the United Kingdom to visit his old mate Joe. He would travel by train, which it cheep an if on time quicker than car. It cost a tidy xl pounds and would pullulate 3 hours (from Durham). Not bad and especially for Dan as he would travel by premiere class. This meant that could enjoy his journey and have drinks, food etc as well.Monday morning (12th May)A shrill ringing woke Dan a 6am. He was staying for two days and started packing accordingly. He didnt take much as he only needed clothes and deodorant to take with him. He had a few get-well cards from friends, by these didnt way much and werent at all bulky. He then had his break fast and wash etc. Daniel kissed Margaret better by, opened the front door and his garage. A gentle breeze came out of nowhere and I take away(p) card fluttered chivalric and landed at the front of Daniels short drive. He dawdled over and picked it up. He looked at it and saw nothing unusual other than a line saying 2100 no 1365. Dan though nothing of it, only a bit of scrap paper, and got in his car. As he turned the ignition key and placed his luggage in the passenger back tooth, he felt a unearthly buttelfy feeling in his stomach.This was odd. Since dan had not exercised properly, he didnt have any problems. A thought raced across the commodious screen of his mind. It might be a stomach ulcer. His had a history of them, but Daniel had been lucky for the past sixteen years. The thought diminished and he reversed his car and carried on. It was only a twenty-minute journey and it passed away quickly and with no problems. The car pulled up at the car park and slowly screeched to a halt. Daniel slid out, paid his two pay and display charge and jumped back in his car. He then practiced the demanding not so accent art of parking and slowly got out.The station was normal. The hustle and bustle of each day lime. Many of the passengers are businessmen and women probably going to work. Dan gleamd at his watch, which said 830 am. There was time for a coffee berry. Just as he turned around to head for the caf, a high-pitched squeal dived out of the speakers and into the maze that was Dans ears. The squealing halted and the tannoy sounded. Could all passengers for the train number 1365 Durham to London please listen. The train will not be here at 2100 as plan but will be delayed for about 15 minutes. These delays are due uncontrollable circumstances. convey you.Daniel sighed, as this was his train. All of a sudden, his spine tingled and he sensed a feeling of de-ja-vous. He had 2100 no 1365 on a piece o f paper. He could not remember when or where but he knew he had seen it. Dan turned back towards the caf and walked towards it. Unusually, he felt he was being watched. He strained his neck to glance over his shoulder when a small hand touched his shoulder. Dan jumped and turned sharply around. How are you Dan. It was Joann Daniels deposit from work. Dan replied with a mumbled, Im alright .Joanne sensed that something was wrong, but thought it best not to ask what. She walked on and weakened into the crowd. Dan turned towards the caf and strolled along towards it with his small luggage, slung over his shoulder. He finally reached his destination and opened the door. Swinging his bulge out from his shoulder, he sat down. His arse landed on the soft, warm seat (probably warmed by some clean dude who farted constantly) and Dan started to relax. He had hardly been there for a few seconds when an attractive young server approached Daniel.She was about 5ft tall and had long locks of cu rly hair Dangling from her head and down onto her peninsular-like shoulders.She was thin but obviously liked working out, as I could tell from the clear lines on her long arms. Her transfer were small and boney, but were terribly scared. The waiter spoke with a small but kind voice. Would you like anything sir, she squeaked. After a few seconds of deliberation, Daniel replied, A black coffee please love. Rachel (it said on her nametag) then chirped Be with you in a minute sir, and then scarpered off to prepare a coffee for Daniel. Just as she said, she returned in less than two minutes with a black coffee, hot and steaming, in a large mug. Daniel sprinkled two sachets of sugar into his mug, and then sipped.He looked around the area where he sat, and sniffed the foul air. The caf was small, with the tables in rows of four. The tables had four chairs each and bottles of sauce and condiment sets sat proudly in the middle on top of a tablecloth. The cloth was opulent and excreted a cl ean, lemon fresh odour that made you think of spring. The caf was quite eventful and obviously made a good, if not excellent turnover.Daniel finished his coffee and dawdled up to the boulder clay to pay. He paid and on his way out, placed a tip of 5 in the hand of the waiter. Thanks love. Here, have this as a token of my appreciation for good service. The waiter thanked Daniel and he go on on.All of a sudden the tannoy sounded, following that same provocation squeal. Would all passengers for the no 1365 train please make their way to weapons platform four. We are terribly sorry for the delay. Thank you. Daniel grabbed his bags, and jogged straight up to platform four.To everyones bewilderment four practice of law officers, accompanied by four dogs and an armed swat team were stand by the train, carefully looking at everyone suspiciously.The officers and dogs then started to weave in and between passengers, as though they were sniffing for drugs and other illegal objects.The dog came up to Daniel, sniffed his bags and then barked viciously at Daniel. Two officers straightway sprinted over and searched ferociously through his bags. Sure enough, there were drugs in Daniels bag, but they were legal and prescribed by Dans doctor. The police officers apologised, helped Daniel to fill his bag, and the toddled over to their positions. The next obstruction was a portable metal detector. Everyone was strolling through it, speculating at what caused this annoying chaos. Dan strolled through it, just as everyone had, and then boarded the train.He got on the train, and stared down the aisle. He glimpsed the door to the first class lounge, and wandered down towards it.The first class lounge was spacious and well ventilated. The buffet counter was in the next carriage to the first class and smelt of common aromas such as pie and chips. The carriage had a slight stench of chip fat and an eerie glimmer of flickering light shed out of the broken bar light.Stepping back in to the first class lounge, he looked at his ticket and observed the seat number 321. Daniel walked down the first class lounge, selected his seat and sat on it. He was tired and immediately fell asleep, never to wake again. The train was derailed and no one knows wherefore. The press speculate about why the train was derailed and why there were armed guards at the station. The police wont let on either.
