Emil walks around the theater and looks for anyone acting weird or funny or for anyone appearing and disappearing from sight. He takes notes of some of the places there could be passages under the theater and thinks of places and times this masked man could come and get in.
Emil goes outside and he looks for any muddy prints of anyone walking around the back in the slush. He doesn't see any that concerned him. He hears the show starting inside and he figures he should stay closer to the building just missing someone moving in the small amount of wooded area behind the theater.
Emil walks back toward the theater, then his danger sense goes off and he moves and throws a punch back at the masked man that just tried to hit him from behind to take him out the man took it to the mask sliding backwards. ”Nice try asshole!”
The masked man looks stunned by being hit then runs past Emil and into the theater disappearing into the crowd. Emil comes running in but is trying not to ruin the show as he looks for the man in the dim lighted room. Emil thinks to himself "he has to be here some where i hit him squarely."
The man takes out a few of the back stage guards, sliding into a room to recover from the punch he took to the face. Emil figures he has to look back stage for where this man is. Hopefully he hasn't hurt any of the girls.
Emil gets back stage and starts looking in rooms for this run away monster of a man that took that hit to the face and didn't collapse like a sack of potatoes, Emil knows this man is not someone to mess with and is dangerous.
Emil doesn't find the man, but sees a trail of blood and he follows it to a door that looks like it leads to a basement area, he leans in a little to look then gets drop kicked in the back sending Emil falling down the stairs. Emil braces himself and rolls with the fall to lower his chance of dying and landing on his neck the man closes the door locking it.
The man laughs deeply then stalks the back halls looking for his prey to take and do with as he wishes. Emil lands hard at the bottom of the stairs a bit winded but he knows he has to get back up.
He forces himself to his feet then he hurries up the stairs not feeling overly injured just heavily winded from the fall. He gets to the top of the stairs and the door is locked and he breaks the door to get out of the basement. Emil hurries down the hall and hears the screams of the actresses as the man appears on the stage taking them in his arms.
