When they came upstairs they were terrified at what they were looking at. They saw red splatters everywhere. Duck-tape in puddles of the red splatters. Half the set destroyed. The lights off in the house. But some were on with a gobo saying strike two.

Another gobo with a small set of instructions. To meet the phantom at the end of rehearsal and just be prepared.

"Hey. We should see what's up on stage before everyone comes back in 15 minutes" said Steele

"Why we need to call the police" said Lisa.

"But Just so we can tell the director what happened first is all. Don't you think calling the police would be strike three and something bad is going to happen" said Steele.

"Your Right. Let's just see what's up on stage and go from there" said Lisa.

They go up on the stage. The hole that lead to the phantom in the first place has mostly been covered.
As they got closer they saw what happened. And who was injured.

"NOOOOOOOOO" cried Lisa and Steele

It was their friend they talked to earlier in the day.

"Hey her stuff is here as well. The items that were stolen" said Lisa.

"But why aren't they here" asked Steele

"I have no idea but I think we have to go outside to the stones to visit someone" said Lisa

"Your right. But what if he is still here in the building" said Steele

"Let's at least look around got a few then we will go down to see him" said Lisa

Steele nodded his head and they looked around got the Phantom. They looked all around on stage.

"Lisa look out" yelled Steele

Steele hurried over to Lisa to push her out of the way. Steele stepped back and CRASH!!!!!!
A light fell from the rail.

"He's here. COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF. WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR GAMES" yelled Steele

"Are you now. Well come down to my lair and we can work this out" said Phantom

"But why there and not here" asked Lisa

"YOU KNOW WHY MY ANGLE OF MUSIC" yelled Phantom

"Not your angle of music. Besides let's settle this once and for all" said Lisa

"No..... we can discuss this later at some point. Just not now. Timing is worse because the break is almost over" said Phantom.

And after the Phantom said that he disappeared. Steele and Lisa ran to the dressing room just so they weren't involved. In fact they second guessed themself and ran outside. So they could walk back with the group that was coming from lunch.

"So did you enjoy your lunch date" asked the director

" You could say we did" said Steele

"Great now let's head back to rehearse" said the director.

They walked in the theatre and saw it destroyed. Just less red splatters.

"So let me get this straight. Phantom Just cleaned up the body/splatters and that was it" whispered Steele to Lisa

"Guess so but he never does that." Whispered Lisa

"We can recover from this. Take the rest of the day off. I'll can lol in the crew to rebuild and we will be back tomorrow" said the Director.

Everyone left the theatre and the director made the call. The set was being rebuilt and when it was all done one member on the crew disappeared. No one even noticed.

"Strike 2.5" said the Phantom.
