Scene 1

Martin: Is anyone here?

Shuffling is heard from off-stage. JACK Enters holding a gun.

Martin: Hello, who’s there?

Jack: Relax, Martin. We have her. If you give us what we want, your wife will be safe. If you don’t, well, we will be forced to use her to persuade you. 

Martin: Let me see her, or the deal’s off.

Jack: (Yelling) Crazy Tom! Bring her out here!

There is a muffled scream off-stage. CRAZY TOM enters holding SUSAN.

Martin: You okay, honey?

SUSAN nods.

Jack: There she is. (Starting to get annoyed) Now, give me the files containing the codes.

Martin: Okay.

Martin: Now is not the time to be having this conversation. We need to get out of here!

Susan: Fine, but we are talking about this when we get home.

Martin: Okay, okay, but we really need to go! 

SUSAN and MARTIN both run off-stage.
