8:45 P.M.

"Absolute Beginners" by David Bowie can be heard playing from the ballroom.

You hang up the phone, then pick it up again, dial 823-8888 and ask for Salvatore. Somebody with a thick Sicilian accent replies, "Whaddaya whaddaya? Gammanabish. Salvatore ain't here...he left already...he should be there any minute. Whaddaya whaddaya?"

Out in the hall, you hear Wellman scream, "CHIP! HELP ME!"

The Sicillian says, "Marston? You there? Whaddaya? Is there a problem? You wanna call Salvatore off or what? You still gotta pay, but if you wanna call it off, you gotta talk to him yourself...he's dressed like the Grim Reaper. Gammanabish."

Out in the hall, you hear Wellman shout, "SHE'S NOT MY WIFE! TERRIBLE THINGS ARE HAPPENING! HELP ME!"

Suddenly, you hear a gunshot and the sound of a screaming man falling down a staircase.

If you rush out into the hall to see what's going on, click here.

Click here if you decide, instead, to lie down and take a quick, refreshing nap.
