Read The Great Carbuncle Page 11

HANNAH

  Oh, my god. That's it. That's it!

  MATTHEW

  Holy--

  HANNAH

  Matthew, that's it! It's the Great Carbuncle!

  HANNAH takes off HER bag and runs offstage.

  MATTHEW

  Hannah!

  MATTHEW throws HIS backpack off and runs offstage. The red glow fades away.

  HANNAH enters, holding the bag with the Great Carbuncle inside it. MATTHEW follows HER.

  HANNAH

  It's so beautiful.

  MATTHEW

  Isn't that Seeker’s bag?

  HANNAH

  Feel it. It's so warm.

  HANNAH puts MATTHEW's hand on the bag.

  MATTHEW

  Sure is. Can't believe it was just lying in the snow like that.

  HANNAH almost says something, but is afraid of what MATTHEW will say.

  MATTHEW

  What? That's where you found it, right?

  Beat.
