*Suddenly Croft Manor is plunged into darkness, the kind of pitch black that can only be compared to a black hole...................

There isn't a sound.

Each Crofteer holds their breath...........

listening........

straining to hear every sound..........

There is the sound of a striking match, and just as suddenly as the darkness arrived it disappears..................

Lara illuminates the hall with a trusty flare.*

Kitty: Crikey! What happened to DK or whoever the hell he was?????

*The Crofteers all turn their attention immediately to the place where DK or whoever the hell he was - was standing. Nothing remains, apart from a doughnut on a stick and an envelope.*

LM: It's addressed to Lara!!!
