<p><br/></p><blockquote><strong>Jerry and Jim are still in Room 227 questioning Cyrus</strong></blockquote><p>___________________</p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>JERRY</strong>: You don't want to talk, right? Fine. You'll probably talk better when management gets involved... and your father hears about this.</span></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: It's not... that ....I don't want to tell you, but I'm scared you might just sell me off to the management after you hear everything.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>:<em> [Chuckles] </em>Sell you off? At what price?</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: I don't know. Maybe you'll want to look like the good students who reported an offender and—</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JIM</strong>:<em> [Interrupts] </em>Enough.</p><p><strong><br/></strong></p><p><em><strong>A brief silence.</strong></em></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JIM</strong>: What are you not saying about your phone? How did you come into the school? You're leaving out some details. Add them back, and <em>[looks at Jerry] </em>we just might have this as our little secret.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong><em>: [Looks at Jim and Jerry]</em> Are ....are....you sure?</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>: Oga talk wetin you go talk!</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: What's that?</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JIM:</strong><em> [Looks at Jerry] </em>Stop the pidgin.</p><p><em>[To Cyrus] </em>Sorry he meant you should go on with what you'd say.</p><p><strong><br/></strong></p><p><em>Cyrus looks from Jim to Jerry.</em></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: About my phone......  While I was in the car with Mensa, the hefty man and the driver... my phone alarm rang.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>: Your alarm?</p><p><strong><br/></strong></p><p><em>Cyrus nods.</em></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: 2 a.m.</p><p><em>Jim looks at him.</em></p><p> I wake up at 2 a.m. every day to read.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>:<em>[rolls his eyes] </em>Of course..... The scholar </p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JIM: </strong>Jerry...</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: The phone was with the hefty man at the front, beside the driver.</p><p><em>He pauses.</em></p><p>So, when the alarm rang, he turned to Mensa and handed him the phone apologizing that he'd forgotten to give it to him when he got back from the operation.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JIM</strong>: What Operation?</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: As he said that... he jerked his head in my direction.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Jim's eyes narrow.</em></p><p><strong>JIM</strong>: That mean he was the one who kidnapped you.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Cyrus nods</em></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: I saw Mensa put the phone in his breast pocket.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>: And that's how you got it?</p><p><em>Cyrus nods.</em></p><p>When Mensa dropped dead... I took it from his pocket.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JIM:   </strong><em>[si</em><em>ghs]</em><strong style="font-style: italic;"> </strong>Oh goodness</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Jerry suddenly sits upright.</em></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>: Wait.</p><p><em>Cyrus looks at him.</em></p><p>Your phone explains how you still had it but it doesn't explain how you got into this school before six in the morning.</p><p><em>He pauses</em></p><p> How did you get in?</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: I know.....I was coming to that.</p><p><em>Cyrus looks down as he</em> <em>exhales slowly.</em></p><p><em><br/></em></p><p><strong><em>Silence.</em></strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: I took—</p><p><em>He stops.</em></p><p><em>Jerry waits.</em></p><p><em>[Cyrus looks at them.]</em></p><p>There is a secret underground passage.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Jim's eyes widen.</em></p><p><strong>JIM</strong>: What?</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>: Right under the school?</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Cyrus nods.</em></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: There is a lot you don't know.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Jim narrows his eyes.</em></p><p><strong>JIM:</strong> No, there is a lot you are not telling us.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Cyrus looks toward the floor.</em></p><p><em>Then slowly raises his eyes.</em></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: Danyris...</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>: We are here in the country ...Danyris....What about it?</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Cyrus looks at him.</em></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: A significant history. I'm not surprised you've not heard about it.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JERRY</strong>: Well, news flash! Jim and I are Nigerians who came to study in University of Twocents located here in Danyris. Need we remind you of that?</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>JIM: </strong>Jerry it's okay.</p><p><em>To Cyrus.</em></p><p>Your entrance into the school has to do with a secret passage underground. That... I still cannot comprehend fully, but how does your entry through a secret passage has to do with the whole of Danyris.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>CYRUS</strong>: Because if you want to understand the passage and how I got here without you getting utterly confused and scared......</p><p><em>Pause</em></p><p>....you need to understand Danyris first.</p>
