The Gates: Breach
A silent alarm from a residential home is tripped, sending an alert directly to Nick Monohan's telephone. Nick awakens and responds to the call.

Meanwhile, Marcus Jordan is at his home with his new girlfriend Teresa. Teresa gets off her cell phone where she has just learned that her roomate is kicking her out. Marcus invites her to stay with him. Before they can discuss the matter further, he receives a telephone call from Monohan and the two meet up at the McAllister home. Marcus tells Nick that the McAllisters are away and they hear the sound of glass breaking from inside the house. They burst in only to find that Ben McAllister has returned home early. He tells them that he tripped and broke some glass, but is more bothered by the fact that two police officers entered his home without resident permission - a breach of Gates policy. Nick apologizes and the two leave. Ben then sees to his wife, Lynn, who is sitting on the floor in the kitchen. A glazed look covers her face.
