[Gary, Leigh, Chelsea, Liv, Vince and Cheshire are all sat watching the bank from across the road. Vince and Chelsea are visibly bored, Vince absentmindedly stroking Cheshire. Gary is resting his head against his hands, the hat sat in his lap.]

Leigh: [bored] Hey, um… is this guy going to-

Gary: [annoyed] Just trust me, he’ll be right out!

Vince: [bored] Why are we not waiting at the actual meeting point?

Gary: [annoyed] Because it’s a shady guy with a magic hat that, while I trust with the info, I do not trust a hope in fucking Hell.

Chelsea: [bored] You know, you swear way too much.

Gary: [sarcastically] Thanks mom.

[Vince and Chelsea both get up, everyone looking at them.]

Gary: [confused] Hey, where ya going?

Vince: [annoyed] To meet him where he bloody said. I don’t want to just wait around. What if he stops trusting us after this?

Gary: [annoyed] Oh because you know him so much better than I do.

Vince: [annoyed] You don’t even bloody know him!

[Leigh quickly gets up between the two.]

Leigh: Right! No arguing! We will stay here, Chelsea can take Vince down to… ?

Gary: [hesitant] Queen’s Park.

[Leigh takes the Hatter’s hat and chucks it to Chelsea. She catches quickly.]

Leigh: There you are! See ya soon.

[Vince nods and starts to walk away, Chelsea pecking Leigh on the cheek before quickly jogging off after him. Leigh turns to the group.]

Leigh: Problem solved.

[Gary sighs, looking at the bank.]

Liv: Are you okay?

Gary: [annoyed] Why?

Liv: You just…

[Liv looks to Leigh, both nodding to each other.]

Leigh: I’m just going to go and-

Gary: [annoyed] Don’t make up an excuse, you can just go.

[Leigh quickly nods, turns and walks off down the road. Liv sits down next to Gary.]

Gary: I know I said this joke already, but at this rate you’re becoming the Party’s mother.

Liv: [worried] Tell me what’s wrong.

Gary: You already know.

Liv: [worried] I want to know properly.

[Gary looks to Liv, frowning.]

Gary: [annoyed] What do you think it’ll take for me to find my Cantrip?

Liv: I don’t know. You’ll just have to come across it, like we did. Wait-

Gary: [annoyed] And in the meantime I can just be completely useless.

Liv: [confused] Sorry-

Gary: [annoyed] It’s not nice being useless. I use to be really useful, I got the equipment for our stupid pranks back when Tracey asked.

Liv: [confused] You still can! Also, Cantrips?

Gary: [annoyed] Powers, I renamed them. The point is, I don’t want to suddenly go from being the most useful to fucking garbage!

Liv: [confused] I understand… I’m very sorry… why Cantrips?

[Gary is about to speak when the doors to the bank suddenly blow off. Liv and Gary quickly start backing off as Leigh scrambles around the corner. People are now running and screaming away from the bank.]

Leigh: [shocked] What the fuck was that?

Gary: [panicking] Bomb! Fucking bomb! The shit had a bomb!

[Hatter walks out of the building calmly through the smoke, carrying a large black duffel bag one his back and hiding his face with a green flowery masquerade mask.]

Liv: [disappointed] I thought he’d look better.

Leigh: [angry] Focus. Bomb.

Gary: [terrified] So?

Leigh: [angry] Superpowers!

Gary: [terrified] Oh. Yeah…

[Hatter looks up and sees the three, quickly running away down the road.]

Liv: [loud] Get him!

[The three quickly start running across the road towards Hatter. Leigh and Liv quickly make it across the road but, as Gary crosses, a car quickly skids towards him. Leigh turns back and sees this.]

Leigh: [panicking] Gary!

[He raises his hands out and the car very suddenly stops before hitting Gary, the front crumpling up like paper. Gary staggers a bit, then moves around to the window and looks in. The driver, a middle aged man, is fine but unconscious at the wheel.]

Gary: [worried] You okay? He’s unconscious. [yelling] Someone call an ambulance!

[Gary catches up with the two, all continuing their pursuit after Hatter. They turn around a corner and see Hatter at the end.]

Liv: You’re psychic, do something!

[Leigh raises his hands towards the Hatter, nose starting to bleed, as the money bag suddenly pulls back towards the group. Hatter turns as the bag flings itself across the street towards the group, grabbing a hold of it before it gets away. Liv sees Leigh’s nose bleed as Gary charges at Hatter.]

Liv: [worried] What’s happening?

Leigh: [strained] I try not to think about it.

[Gary charges towards Hatter, grabbing the other end of the bag.]

Gary: [terrified, confused] What the fuck are you doing?

Hatter: [angry] Paying a debt! Let go!

Gary: [terrified, confused] Is this about the Rabbit? You didn’t have to blow up a bank!

[Leigh very suddenly collapses, shaking. The bag falls into Hatter’s hands.]

Liv: [panicking] Leigh.

[Liv quickly crouches down by Leigh, trying to think. Gary quickly moves towards the Hatter to try and tackle him but the Hatter dodges and hits Gary in the back with the bag, knocking him down. He quickly kicks him in the stomach, groaning in pain.]

Hatter: [angry] He sent you, didn’t he? Fucking Marshall! If I see the prick, I’ll fucking kill him! You make sure that he fucking knows it!

[Hatter looks around quick. He sees Liv by Leigh, still not sure what to do, and then quickly darts off. Gary gets up, coughing badly. He looks towards where Hatter went and starts moving that way.]

Liv: [panicking] Gary, get over here!

[Gary groans, moving quickly towards Leigh. He’s still shaking, but it’s calming down.]

Gary: [panicking] Okay, what’s happening to Leigh?

[Leigh motions quickly at his chest with a clenched fist.]

Leigh: [jagged] Gimme a minute… get Hatter.

Gary: [worried] He already left.

Leigh: [jagged] Fucking damn it.

Liv: [worried] What is happening to you?

[Leigh looks to Leigh and sighs.]

Leigh: [strained] Overworked myself... come on, let's try and find this guy.
