Scene seven: Anna’s house & shop
Grun: (telephones Anna and tells her the situation)
Anna: (waiting at the door)
Dad, what happened?
Grun:
He came to my house and became angry and then he had a seizure.
Anna:
I knew this would happen. I dreaded him finding out about us.
Grun:
We better take him to the hospital or get an ambulance.
Mr. Godfrey:
I am OK, don’t worry, this young man helped me. Are you my daughter?
Anna:
My God, he doesn’t know me!
Grun;
He is OK physically but his mind is affected.
Anna:
You did this! I can tell.
Grun:
I am sick of people telling me what I did. Please believe me; I didn’t do anything to your father. He came to my house to tell me to stay away from you.
Anna:
And I will, I don’t know why I ever wanted to help you. You must have put a curse on me and my father. Go away and don’t ever come back.
Grun:
You will feel different later.
Anna: (slams the door after Grun walks out)
Grun: (feels in his pocket and touches the coin relic. He decides to walk into town which is a short distance away and do it in invisibility mode. He doesn’t know exactly what he is going to do but feels there is a certain something which he has to do. He reaches the local food store and looks inside. He sees a boy who is known to be a local tear away eyeing up the liquor shelf. The boy is about thirteen years old and big for his age. There is also a small gang of his friends hanging about in the street some yards away. Grun knows what is about to happen he realizes that in invisibility mode he has the gift of prophesy even more than he did before. The gang is waiting for the sign from the boy inside to ransack the store.)
Grun: (walks up to the door which automatically opens. He walks inside and looks at the boy who is looking at the door and wondering why it opened. Grun walks up to the boy and whispers to him to go away, he then pushes him in the chest with his finger. The boy moves back. Grun moves forward and does the same again. The boy starts to panic and reaches out to protect himself. He feels Grun’s hand which grabs him by the wrist. Grun whispers again but in a louder way, go away. The boy rushes out of the store in terror. He doesn’t even stop to tell his friends what happened. The gang hangs around for a few minutes then they begin to move away. Grun conceals himself behind the shelf and presses the other side of the coin to reappear.)
Grun ( picks up some sweets and goes to the counter)
Fairly quiet tonight, eh?
Shop assistant:
Yes, it is a boring job sometimes.
Grun:
(Pays for the sweets, leaves the store and heads home)
