They were about halfway through the dance scene when Temptation caught movement from the corner of his eye. He glanced up at the ceiling, where thick wooden beams ran above the room to hold the theater's structure together; there, he captured a glimpse of two cloaked figures huddled atop one of those beams, directly above the stage. From the dim shadows of the ceiling, the metal tip of an arrowhead glinted in the torchlight. "Get down!" He suddenly grabbed Joy and shoved her to the floor. Just as he did so, a sharp sound whistled by his ear, and a dark arrow struck the floorboards where Joy had been but a moment before. The bright red shaft stood out on the stage. A gasp sounded from the audience, but no one looked really alarmed--more confused. They probably thought this was a new plot twist. Temptation glanced back up at the beams. One of the men's furious glares met his gaze, then another arrow was nocked and drawn back. "Run!" He scrambled off the floor. Joy was quick in following, but she stopped to stare up at the ceiling. "Where--?" "Don't look, just run, now!" He grabbed her by the arm and yanked her back just as another arrow hit the floor. Then another. Both men were firing now, and they were deadly shots. Peterson gaped at them when they came busting through the curtain. "Hey-- what're you doing?! Look, your ad-libbing's been clever and all, but this is getting ridiculous--" "It's not an act!" Joy cried. "Someone's shooting at us!" Startled cries echoed shrilly from the stage. Peterson darted to the curtains and threw them open. There, on the stage, the two cloaked men had jumped down and landed lightly, and now were aiming their weapons at the startled and anxious audience. Peterson growled. "The brick! I'll show these bozos. . ." "No, don't--!" Joy began to protest. Peterson stormed onto the stage and demanded. "What's going on here? Who are you to interrupt my show? I'll have you know that I--" Both cloaked men whirled around and shot at Peterson. The short director yelped and jumped back. We need to get those beards and run while we can, Temptation realizes.
