The crew walks fast down the alley way ducking in the side when they hear something. Jonathan is on the walkie talkie which is coming in and out now. Trevor starts to get too heavy for Annie and she sets him on the side to take a breather. She tries to look back at her friend who she knows by now is dead she starts to cry.
Trevor: Oh Annie don’t cry its ok. I’m ok really
Jonathan: We cant stop here- we cant stop anywhere, you just don’t understand they are all over the place and now they are looking for us, if we stop then they are sure to find us. We have to keep moving(he is furious) we have to keep moving!
Annie: (Crying harder) I Cant carry him anymore. I just cant do this
Trevor: I’m ok really-
Jonathan: well you didn’t think about that when you jumped out the window did you?
Annie: That guy was coming at me with a hunting knife, what was I supposed to do?
Jonathan: Oh, come on you could have done something-
Annie: (crying harder) Come on! I cant-
Trevor: will you both please! I can walk now lets get going
Annie: I cant go. I cant do it. I mean I love you and all and I thought that we were going to be together, I mean that you were the one or something. I mean I was thinking about dresses and the color of our wedding and all but this- this is all too much I cant run the rest of my life. I cant fear some guy with a hunting knife I just cant!
Trevor: (Bewildered) You like me that much?
Jonathan: Come on man she cant like you that much I mean she just met you and really you have a great package any girl is going to go for tha- (the walkie talkie crackles) Curtis?
(Everyone is silent as the radio keeps crackling, then it begins to rain and the three are left in the dark alleyway in the rain. A figure creeps up from behind and jumps on Trevor. Annie screams and grabs at his legs but it is too late. The figure is dragging Trevor off the stage. Jonathan has been hit in the head and is bleeding from the head. Annie is fightened and starts screaming and trying to get Trevor back but the figure holds up a knife and Annie backs off. She is sitting in the rain while the curtain is drawn down and the stage goes black.)
(The curtain opens on a stage where little girls in pink tutu’s are doing a tap recital. The song is pop like and the girls are laughing and swinging their arms around. The audience is laughing and cheering. The song ends and the MC concludes the show. The kids go to their parents in the audience.)
Alisa: Hey mom!
Mom: Oh honey that was awesome. You did so well I could tell you have been practicing
Alisa: I know I think we messed up a couple of times but it was crazy!
Mom: I got these for you! (hands her flowers. She jumps up and down)
Alisa: Mom mom thank you thank you thank you I really wanted the purple ones how did you know that I really wanted the purple ones?
Mom: I dono just a hunch
Alisa: They are much better than the ones that the man gave me earlier
Mom: What man?
