To Murder Or Not To Murder (1) DRAFT

Chapter 7

The theatre is a place where one dresses up very nicely. The four of us dressed up in fancy dresses and met up outside the theatre.

"Now you guys know where to go yeah?" Jaz asked. We all nodded to show our understanding. "Look, we need to be careful. There are supposedly spy's in the audience to make sure this goes down." Amy explained.

We each went to our places as the crowd poured in. I had a handful of papers containing maps and information about the theatre's structure. I had my phone with me ready to call Jaz if nessacary. Looking at the stage, I could see that there were lights. They could easily fall on to the performers. The danger was clear and there were so many ways someone could be killed. I knew by looking at the stage something would happen, something bad. I looked up to see Jaz sitting at the back. I pointed to my phone. 'Ring!' she called and I answered. "Anything suspicious yet?" she asked in a whisper. "No not yet. I don't feel right about Amy being the one to save her if nessacary." I said in a hushed tone. "Neither do I, but this should prove wether she's really helping or not." Jaz explained. "Dr jones doesn't feel right about her either." I said. "I hope this goes right." "Better go. Plays startin'-" Jaz said and hung up. I looked over to the stage to find she was indeed right. The play had begun.

The play was about cowboys and Indians. How the 'cowboys' would raid the Indian's camps and villages. The accident was supposedly going to happen in the scene when a woman was to be shot.

"That's it!" I texted to Jaz. "It's the shooting scene. One of them has a real gun!" "Omg. I'll text Amy." She texted back. "No don't." I texted her. "We'll see if she picks it up."

The play continued on easily and smoothly. A few scenes before the shootout, Jaz, dr jones and I headed down the aisles and went backstage. We avoided Amy and quickly climbed up so we above the stage in the beams above holding everything up. I stared down at each cowboy. "Which gun is real?" I whispered. I glanced at dr jones. She was staring down with a frown on her face set in concentration. "None of those guns are real." she said as bangs were heard throughout the theatre. "They are all fake. There's no bullets only blanks in-" dr jones was cut off by the lights going on. We could hear the crowd rushing out as an ear piercing scream fills the theatre. "don't move." Jaz said.

When the lights turned on we saw Amy run on to the stage. "What happened?" I called down to her. "The cowboys were all part of the group from the casino. They kidnapped that actor lily." Amy explained. "I don't know where they went though. " She added.

The three of us climbed down to where Amy was. "Check for clues!" Jaz called out. We searched and searched but found no clues. "Where could thy have gone?" I asked sitting on one of the crates which was an intended prop. "I'm not sure. Possibly the casino but it's unlikely." Jaz muttered. "Well they wouldn't go there, what's the point?" Amy said. "They'd go somewhere no one would suspect. " I glanced at Jaz. She nodded ever so slightly. "Like where?" I asked Amy. "How the hell am I supposed to know?" Amy demanded. "Wow. I'm just asking." I said raising my hands. "Well does anyone have any ideas?" dr jones asked. "The casino. That's the only one we have." Jaz replied. "Well let's go there then. But we have to go in disguises so they don't recognise us." I said thoughtfully. "Yeah I guess." Amy muttered.
