AMY enters from the left and finds a letter in the centre of the stage. She opens the letter, reads it and tears it into pieces, then exits to the right through a door.
IAN enters through the door and sees a scrap of the letter nearby. He picks it up.
IAN (mumbling): What's this...
IAN casts about the floor until he sees the rest of the letter. He hurries over to the letter and picks up another piece, he tries to fit them together to read them.
IAN: Oh no! Amy!
IAN drops the letter and dashes out of the door. After a beat, IAN returns through the door holding a mobile phone to his ear.
IAN: ...If so we're in real trouble. Yes, she's been here alright, but she can't have got the message. OK, will do.
IAN hangs up and puts the phone in his pocket and marches over to the scraps of letter. He bends down, gathers them up hurriedly and stuffs them in his pockets. He glances around to make sure he's not missed any pieces then leaves again through the door.
AMY reenters hesitantly through the door, then runs to where the letter was. On finding it missing she sinks to her knees with her head in her hands.
AMY: Shit! Shit, Shit, Shit!
IAN returns through the door and walks swiftly over to AMY. He bends down to her and helps her up.
IAN: Come on, it's not too late, hurry.
AMY and IAN hug quickly, then run out of the door.
The light dims. VINCE enters from the left carrying a gun. He begins to walk slowly towards the door. The light dims to black.
