All that really concerns you is getting that book, because if you don't get Randal's help, the Ring Master is certainly going to kill you when she finds out you've turned traitor.

Pervus enters the tent and you sneak around back and begin trying to lift up a small portion of it to crawl in.

You hear a lot of noise and some protesting, while you're doing this, when you finally get in, Pervus is having his way with Madam Orbec, completely oblivious to you and Madam Orbec isn't making a sound…you don't like the looks of this.

You turn to your left and see you're right by her bed, next to that is her dresser which has the book on it. You grab it and crawl back out as quickly as you can. You run and don't look back.

When you get back to Randal he wonder's why the hell you're so worked up.

"(Pant) I got the book."
"Phew! Well don't breathe all over me, just gimme the thing! Excellent. I'll study what I can tonight before show time and then afterwards we'll see who the new master is! And what's wrong with you Geek? Why are breathing so heavy and looking around…you didn't let Madam Orbec see you borrow this did you?!"
"No, not at all. I'm just winded from trying to get out there without her seeing me!"
"Well you better make yourself scarce until showtime anyway. I'm sure you wouldn't want to run into the Ring Master before hand. Relax, I will keep my end of the bargain. Now go."

You leave and linger around the edges of the Carnival, staying out of sight until show time. What happened back at Madam Orbec's tent still has you unnerved a bit. You know it's only a matter a time before everyone finds out, before Randal finds out. She was basically like a mother figure to him. You didn't think Pervus would kill her, unless he didn't mean to and more likely he was just so overwhelmed with lust that he didn't care at that point.

In fact you're a little worried about being here by yourself with no one around. You half think Pervus is going to leap out somewhere and kill you too to shut you up. It would be exactly like him to do something like that. In fact now you think its weird to you that he HASN'T shown up to kill you.

You've got a lot of potential enemies right now, Pervus, the Ring Master, not to mention plain old Ajax who always wants to kill you. Randal is pretty much your only hope for survival now.

Eventually you wander back to the Carnival around show time. Everything goes as normal with a few exceptions. The Ring Master looks pre-occupied, Randal's act seems to be a lot more spectacular than usual, the clowns nowhere to be seen and all throughout the show you have a dreaded feeling that something really bad is going to happen.

And you just may be right.
