CUT TO: MINNEAPOLIS, MN
EXT. CARNIVAL THRILLTERRA - AFTERNOON
TO̅MI AND HARPER TRAVEL THROUGH THE MIDWAY IN THE THRILLTERRA. THE AREA IS FULL OF THE SOUNDS OF CARNIVAL MUSIC, CHILDREN'S LAUGHTER AS THEY RIDE THE RIDES, AND THE CLICKITY-CLACKETY OF ROLLERCOASTERS TRAVELING ALONG THEIR PREDESTINED COURSES ARE SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENT SOUNDS. THE ROLLERCOASTERS WHOOSH AND THEIR BREAKS SQUEAL AS THEY BANK TURNS ON THE SMOOTH STEEL RAILS. AS DIFFERENT RIDES TURN AND TWIRL THERE IS DISTORTED METALLIC CREAKING.
[To̅mi]
(Whispering)
Do you see the carousel anywhere?
[Harper]
(Whispering)
No, I don't see it either.
[To̅mi]
(Whispering)
Is it possible that we missed it?
HARPER SPOTS A DIRECTORY. THE DIRECTORY POINTS THAT THE CAROUSEL IS WEST OF THEIR LOCATION.
[Harper]
(Whispering)
Oh, it says it's due west.
[To̅mi]
(Whispering)
I wonder what it's doing so far out here.
[Harper]
(Whispering)
Maybe in this chaos-filled place, no one rides it anymore.
TO̅MI AND HARPER TRAVEL ALONG A PATH THAT FEATURES SOME DISPLAYS OF THE CARNIVAL FREAKS, DANCING AUTOMATONS, AND THE LARGE FACE OF A CLOWN WHOSE EYES FOLLOW HARPER AND TO̅MI AS THEY TRAVEL DOWN THE PATH.
[Harper]
(Whispering)
I don't like that at all.
[To̅mi]
(Whispering)
I'm surprised that it can see us. It has to be some sort of trick.
TO̅MI AND HARPER CONTINUE ALONG THE PATH AND SOON FIND THE CAROUSEL. HOWEVER, THEY FIND IT IN A STATE OF DISREPAIR AND LOOK AT EACH OTHER WITH UNEASY EXPRESSIONS.
[Harper]
(Whsierping)
Well, I suppose I was half right.
[To̅mi]
(Whispering)
We might as well have a look around.
[Harper]
(Whispering)
Do you think that it might be a trap?
[To̅mi]
(Whispering)
I can't say for sure. We don't have to let our guard down either. Come on, let's see who our secret messenger friend is.
TO̅MI AND HARPER INSPECT THE BROKEN CAROUSEL WHILE STILL BEING CLOAKED. BEHIND THE SCENIC PANELS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAROUSEL TO̅MI SPOTS SOMEONE INSIDE. TO̅MI OPENS ONE OF THE PANELS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE CAROUSEL SPOOKING THE PERSON INSIDE. THE PERSON INSIDE ARMS THEMSELVES WITH A B.B. PISTOL AIMING IT AT WHERE HE BELIEVES TO̅MI TO BE.
[Unknown Boy]
Who's there?
[To̅mi]
(While cloaked)
