Susan was on the floor of the stage clutching her ankle.

"Susan what happened" Mrs Canon cried running over to Susan.

"My ankle, I think I sprained it." Susan said wincing from the pain.

"Ok, Ian go grab a cushion for Susan's ankle" Mrs Canon said.

"Go, Ian" Trea called after him.

"Wai Yu, can you go to the office and ask for an ice pack."

"NOW WAI YU" Trea echoed

"HOW" Trea snapped hopping onto the stage.

"I don't know something bumped into me" Susan answered.

Friday started to shift into detective mode. "The only things close to you at the time were..." She paused and glanced at the three people closest to Susan on the script "Patel, Mira, and Ivan."

Everyone turned to the three. They all looked super suspicious. Patel's face was red, and he was staring at the floor. Mirabella couldn't make I contact with anyone. And Ivan... well he always looked sus.

"Ok who pushed Susan" Drake asked looking them all up and down.

Melanie was about to say something when Colin cut her off.

"Uh hello." He was sitting in a box made to look like a tray table on wheels, his head stuck out from the top disguised as a turkey, and a cloche covering it.

"Sorry mate!" Harvey said lifting the cloche of his head. Colin looked around his eyes adjusting to the light.

"What's up with Susan" He asked.

"Somebody pushed her over, and we're trying to figure out which one of these lowlifes did it" Harvey said gesturing to Patel, Mira, and Ivan. Mira scoffed.

Melanie was about to answer when again Collin cut her of "It was Mirabella."

"I didn't" Mira said in a panic "Susan I would never."

"Really, Mira. Let's look at the facts. You know all her lines. You tried to replace her. And you mean enough to not care." Colin stated.

"It wasn't Mirabella" Friday said shaking her head.

Melanie nodded "Yeah it ..."

"It was Patel, you were upset with Susan's dancing so you pushed her over so she would hurt her ankle and wouldn't step on yours." Drake said.

"I, I didn't" Patel cried.

"It wasn't Patel" Friday said shaking her head.

Colin looked a bit scared, he turned to Ivan "Ivan?"

"NO" Ivan protested.

"It was Ivan" Trea said, "He wanted the show to be canceled so he would have enough time to paint the set." Trea was still mad at Ivan for all the insults he had given her earlier on.

"It wasn't Ivan" Friday said bluntly.

"Somebody pushed her over, and "Ok then who, little miss smarty pants" Trea hissed putting her hands on her hips.

"Yeah detective. Who?" Ian asked smugly.

"I'm not sure" Friday said.

"I am" Melanie said.
