Part Five - Discovery House - “After 4....1, 2, 3, 4”

“Oh god, please no! Don’t tell me I have just done that. Oh God, no way, shit, god no, oh no I can’t believe it, that’s it, finished.”
The lights in the theatre began to fade and the usherette closed the auditorium doors. As soon as the last beam of light died away into darkness a silent version of musical chairs began as the audience stood up to sit in a better position, preferably in the middle at the back. After two fidgeting minutes the cinema finally settled as the trailers to forthcoming releases, that were appropriate to the main feature, glittered on to the screen.
He was a cop on the edge,
He had his own ideas on justice,
And when a gang murder his wife
He takes the law that one step further
Brian Garmo is ‘Revenge Cop III’
Quite what Revenge cop III had to do with a Jane Austin adaptation lord only knew. Sam had moved seats and trusted Lisa to find him in the dark. She’d been gone a while and it was perhaps the only time it was a good thing there were so many trailers and adverts. The door to the theatre opened letting a stream of light burst through the door. A figure entered and stood in the aisle scanning the people in the seats. Finally the figure saw Sam and struggled passed three people before sitting down. The theatre was almost pitch black as the titles rolled. Sam thought it was time.
“Are you alright? Hey! Are you alright?” said the squirrel.
“Oh god, please no! Don’t tell me I have just done that,” said Sam.
“Excuse me, but what are you going on about?”
“What have I done?”
“Can I help in any way?”
Sam looked up and saw a figure he recognised, a figure he had his photograph taken with last summer. But it can’t be, what was Smokey squirrel doing asking if he was alright? He focused on the huge eyes. “Help? Can you help?, no I don’t think you can.”
“Have you just arrived too?”
“What do you mean, just arrived?” Sam looked around “Yes,” he said, a little unsure. “Yes, I think I have. Any idea where we are?”
“I was hoping you could tell me,” said Smokey. “My neck hurts a little. Is there anything wrong with you?”
“No I don’t think so,” Sam tried to stand up and yelped in pain.
“What! What is wrong?”
“I can’t move, my head, my chest, my legs all hurt, I hurt all over.”
“Don’t move, you’ll be alright in a while”
“How do you know?”
“I couldn’t move my neck at first but now it’s not so bad. Do you have a name?”
“Sam, Sam Woodgate.”
“Chalk, nice to meet you”
“But you are Smokey Squirrel”
“Costume, see.” Chalk took off the head of Smokey Squirrel and placed it on the floor next to Sam.
