Tic tac, tic tac, tic tac.
Mike wants to smash that clock.
He shifts, staring at the ceiling. He's restless. Very restless.
Then he hears it, pulling him out of his thoughts. Will shifts in bed, a whimper following after. Mike tenses. Did he wake him? Or another nightmare? He hopes for neither. He knows that sound. He can even feel the tension in the air.
