a hollow, dump sound. Yet another person has leapt.

                   Janokovic does the job quickly. For a brief second, he turns on his lighter, just
                   enough time for him to orient himself. He can see the cash register; it is slightly

                   open. He puts his hand into it; there is plenty of money. He fumbles around -

                   banknotes, lots of notes. He empties the cash register, fills his trouser- and
                   jacket-pockets, as well as sticking a lot of banknotes in his underpants. There is

                   more money than he had expected. There are two bags of coins. He takes it all

                   and escapes the wheelhouse and runs out through the park. Everything is chaos
                   now; there are sirens everywhere; he starts to run away. Although there are

                   many flashlights, they are all aimed at the Ferris wheel. No one notices the gang
                   fleeing the scene.

                     "The generator, turn on the generator!" A voice shouts out. Janokovic can hear

                   police sirens.
                     "Turn on the emergency generator!"

                   There is a bang, like when someone blasts a firecracker, and suddenly the place

                   is lit. Janokovic has come a long way in the distance that those standing on and
                   around the wheel and the other rides do not notice anything suspicious about

                   him. There are several violent screams, and now there is also a bank, which
                   when hundreds of hands and feet hit and kick metal, a strange, eerie, resounding

                   sound. When he comes to The Lanes, there is street lighting. A boy yells as he

                   runs in the opposite direction: "There is a guy who has fallen out of the Ferris
                   wheel!"

                     As he arrives to Dayle Avenue, he enters and positions himself in the entrance

                   hall of a closed shop. In approximately five minutes, he will be at Curry House. He
                   starts to shake all over his body. Will the others reach out? He has never seen so

                   much police before, and will they suspect anything when they enter the Curry

                   House?
                     Two Indians from the kiosk a few blocks away stand discussing loudly in the

                   street.

                   A young man in agony shouts out: "Some have jumped out of the Ferris wheel."
                     "How did it happen?" One of the Indians shouts back.

                   The guy stops the moped for a short moment. "I don't know, I don't know," he
                   replies in broken English.
