Chapter 4

In their dormitory, Chad, Pat, Tim and Digby were just finishing up a last-minute rehearsal.

Then they packed up their scripts and chilled out.

"Lads, I'm starting to worry about Walt" said Pat.

"Why, Pat?" said Chad.

"Well, all of Actorville is talking about this neck pain he's not seeming to lose" said Pat.

"He has had it for rather a long time" said Tim.

"I could have my wife look at his neck" said Chad.

"Chad, your wife might not be of use after this long. With all due respect" said Digby.

"Digby's right. She's a surgeon and all, but what if they found out he had something? He's had the pain for too long; it'd be too late" said Tim. 

"I don't like to think that way" said Chad.

"Well, when Sam gets back, we'll tell her all about it. She may know what to do" said Pat.

"Sam; she's useful. But I stand by what I said. We may have waited too long" said Tim.

Sam and Jill then walked into the dormitory.

"Surprise!" said Sam.

"Sam! Long time no see, luv!" said Digby.

"It's so good to see you, sweet" said Chad giving Sam a kiss on the cheek.

"And Jill; smashing. You're both here" said Digby.

"Heaven's sake, Sam my dear. We missed you so much here in Actorville" said Pat.

Tim nodded his head to agree.

"Really? Still can't talk to me?" said Sam.

Tim shamefully took a shot of beer and said "I apologize, luv."

"Ah, that's okay" said Sam. 

"What are you four doing now?" said Jill.

"We were just talking about what's going on with Walt" said Digby.

"Oh yeah. That neck pain, huh?" said Sam.

"You know about it?" said Chad.

Sam scoffed. "Everybody knows about it."

"I don't" said Jill.

"He keeps telling us not to worry about it; that it might be from some polo injury he had in the past" said Sam.

"Yeah. Codswallop in our opinion. If his neck has hurt for this long, it might be something more serious" said Digby.
