A hooded figure rushes through the trees. The wind is whipping past his face and the branches crunch under his feet. This is ALFRED ALMOND. He's holding a bundle in his arms. He looks to the side, and in the moonlight it's revealed that he's not alone.
Another figure is closing in on him. He runs faster. The figure comes closer. He doubles his speed. The figure doubles too. Then he trips over a branch, the bundle falls out of his hands and rolls. The wrapping around the bundle comes loose.
As if on cue, two foods burst out of the forest. A LOLLIPOP and a slice of PIZZA are racing towards him...
