PANEL @5
Reverse-cut. We see G.S., standing in book-nook, looking benignly out toward us.
G.S.: How odd. Because *I* have a question for *you*, Robert Anvill.
PANEL @6
The three of them standing in front of the book-nook.
Rob and Mandy's young faces, looking concerned/interested/at bay at this new person. Rob has one hand on his own chest; a what? me? gesture.
The G.S. may be scanning the populated room as he talks. Makes a vague pointing gesture toward the book-nook.
MANDY: (in low voice; dotted line balloon?) We're caught.
ROB: Whoa! You know my name?
G.S.: Why, meeting you is a wish come true! I so much want... but let's not disturb these students.
MANDY: (looks wary; analytical. Question mark balloon.)
PANEL @7
Our point of view is from inside the book-nook, looking out. G.S. in foreground coming toward us, as he cheerfully (evilly?) leads the two kids into this more-private space. He's also just taken the Time-Box from his pocket, and is glancing at it in his hand. He presses a small button on it, a button whose protrusion we can barely spot.
G.S.: We'll have more privacy... now.
TIME-BOX: Bzzt! (small sound)
PANEL @8
The Time-Box in action. A panel... or perhaps panels, showing several actions in multiple exposure. Camera angle could be somewhat above the trio.
Events that happen:
The Time-Box opens an luminous, oblong portal in front of the trio. This portal then sweeps across and past the trio like the sweep of a tennis racket, without harming them. And they are now someplace else. Final stage is, it contracts behind them.
(Or something like that. See the Time-Box description in the notes at end of this document. The essential idea is, once you push the Time-Box "execute" button, you're irrevocably whisked away.)
Blurb: THROOOOMMMMM!
