<strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Gary Parker<br/>Current Location: Outside the house, driving<br/>Accompanied By: No one</span></strong><br/><br/>Life had been kind to 40-year-old Gary Parker. Who would have thought a guy who joined the military right out of high school and got a girl he barely knew pregnant their first time having sex would end up in a successful marriage of nearly twenty years? It wasn't easy of course, especially with her getting pregnant again right away, and then again with twins, but his generous severance package enabling him to support the family and finish college while she stayed home to take care of the kids made it possible for them to be where they were today, much better off than either of them would have believed 15 years ago.<br/><br/>Now a successful administrator, Gary made enough money to maintain their five-bedroom house and pay for nice vacations around the holidays, which was planned for the coming weekend just a day away. The sneaky thing was, he was secretly planning on taking the day off and returning shortly after the kids were shuttled off to the last day of school and having some alone time with his wife while the kids were away. What he didn't know was that his wife was planning on playing the good cop, and letting the kids all play hooky that day.<br/><br/>He didn't notice the black van parked around the corner as he drove off in one of their two family vehicles, an SUV with a high safety rating compared to the others, his morning coffee in hand and some relaxing music on the radio. He usually had a fair commute and had to leave before any of the kids woke up. He planned a special shopping excursion before returning home and would give his wife a surprise she wouldn't soon forget. It didn't occur to him just how off-track the day's plans were to become.
