STAGE
'Bye Mr Kolston.'
The cast were calling out as John told everyone from stage and out back to go home also.

BACK STAGE
The large props were on wheels, so it was reasonably easy for John to do most of it on his own.

BACK STAGE CURTAIN
He slid and dragged the rest into their positions for next show.
He stopped.
He was sure he heard something then went and got the remaining props.
Pushing the last into position he heard it again.
JOHN: 'Jacqui?' He seemed puzzled why it would be her, but she was the only other that would come out to this area.
'Jacqui? Is that you?'
He stopped what he was doing and went to take a look.

JACQUI'S OFFICE.
EARLY MORNING
John: 'I don't know how to explain this except to ask you to come and take a look.'
Kristie: Bright eyed. 'Ok.'
Jacqui just rolled hers.
John: 'You'll need a torch.' Handing them to his sisters.
Jacqui: 'Seriously?'
Kristie was humoured.

BACK STAGE
JOHN: 'Watch your head.' As he led them beside the props area and down a narrow corridor.
KRISTIE: Seriously. 'This leads to the very back doesn't it?'
JOHN: 'That it does but.' He swung his torch and waited for their reactions.

NARROW CORRIDOR
JACQUI: 'Oh my -.' Started shaking her head.
KRISTIE: 'Has this just happened? -' Stopped herself feeling stupid.
JACQUI: 'Not good. Not good.' Still shaking her head.
Their torch lights were absorbed by a large crack in the ground.
KRISTIE: 'The back wall too. I'll check the records and hopefully everything will be ok.'
