With Regan waiting behind the stage, Crowley turns to begin the search for Simon - then sees the huddle over Gabriel Tam, painted in dancing grey-white flickers as the closest flare sputters gently from the auditorium floor.
Rising from his crouch for a better view, his eyes flick past them.
A limp, heavy shape further across the stage, beyond the reach of the hissing glow of flares.
The crowd, still in a panic - and in its midst, being swiftly secured by Baijian Li's team, one two three four figures.

And then there was a nice, tall, standing silhouette on the stage, and Crowley sees the pinpoint flash of a different, orange-coloured light before he hears the unmistakable crack of a gun being fired.
He hits the stage again, and takes a moment to mutter a truly inventive curse under his breath - and the renewed shrieking of the crowd - before scrambling over to the Tams.
"Milliways," he says, appearing at Galadan's elbow.
