A message is heard/broadcast
Welcome, to...
Steve: Do you hear anything?
Steve: Helloo.
Steve: What are you doing
Steve: MICK.
Steve begins pacing around the room begins to realise small things wrong with the room,
Clocks etc, stop working, upside down.
Steve freezes in confusion, looks around. Slowly walks backward out of the room and closes the door behind him.
He takes a few deep breaths, closes his eyes.
STEVE STILL FROZEN IN THE SAME SPOT FROM WHEN HE SAW THE CHILD SPEECHLESS.
Finds the ear piece on the floor.
Steve looking around confused, cut to black.
