Leave No Evidence

Act 1 Scene 7: February 16, the middle of the night, Justin' s bedroom. Justin is asleep until his cellphone starts to ring. The caller ID says "Unknown". Justin answers anyway.

Justin: "Hello? Who is this?"

Sasuke: "It's me, Sasuke."

Justin: "Sasuke?" He looks at his alarm clock. "It's 2 am. There had better be a reason to calling me so late."

Sasuke: "Are you done? Call Steve and meet at the safehouse."

Act 1 Scene 8: February 16, 2:30 am at Sasuke's safehouse. Justin and Steve made it there.

Steve: "Sasuke, it's late. You're lucky that my parents are heavy sleepers." Sasuke slams a picture of a man.

Sasuke: "Do you know who this is?"

Justin: "Yeah, that's Eric McQueen. He's the ex-heir to his mother's fortune, The Butterfly Corporation. Whoa..."

Steve: "We're killing him?!"

Sasuke: "No, but we are going to hurt him."

Justin and Steve: "Why?" Sasuke turns on his computer and shows Eric's criminal record.

Justin: "Oh."

Sasuke: "I've been spying on him while you guys were at school. Eric has been getting in a lot of trouble with the law since he was 14. Assault, petty theft, selling illegal drugs and the list goes on to his early 30s. Do you want to know why he isn't in jail?"

Justin: "I don't know."

Steve: "Neither do I."

Sasuke: "Because his mother's money and the crooked cops get him acquittals. Currently, he bought some things to get his mother's money all to himself."

Steve: "Like weapons?"

Sasuke: "Sort of... more like an undetectable poison in his mother's glass of water next to her bed."

Justin: "You were stalking Mrs. McQueen also? Dude, that's f-ed up."

Sasuke: "We've wasted too much time. Get in your ninja garb."

Steve: "Wait... ninja garb?"

Sasuke: "Surprise."

Act 1 Scene 9: February 15, The McQueen Manor 10 hours earlier...

Eric McQueen: "Mother, I am your only child and it is tradition that I take over the estate once you pass away."

Mrs. Sondra McQueen: "Eric, I wasn't supposed to tell you this. When your father was on his deathbed,he told me that you were unworthy to take over. That's final!"

Eric throws a glass at the wall and said, "You witch! I will get the estate and the fortune no matter what." He walks out the door and slams it.

Act 1 Scene 10: February 16, Outside the McQueen Manor. The ninjas wait for the clock to reach 4:30 am.

Sasuke turns off the security system and says, "You guys ready?"

Justin and Steve: "Yes."

As all 3 ninjas run through the front yard, Eric McQueen is slowly poisoning his mother's drinking water.

Eric: "That should do the trick. Oh yeah, one more thing." He then changes his mother's alarm clock to sound at 4:45 am.

The ninjas are now inside the house and so far kept themselves very quiet.

Steve (whispers): "You got to admit, this house doesn't creak." Justin trips and a candy dish falls off and lands on the floor.

Eric: "What was that?" Eric quickly rushs to the security room and notices the cameras and alarms aren't working. He enters the living room. "Who's in here?"

The ninjas are outside a doorway and being very quiet. Both Justin and Steve are very nervous. Sasuke prepares to throw something. Eric turns on the lights.

Eric: "You're pretty good at turning off the alarm system. What do you want? Leave now and I won't call the cops." Sasuke throws a wood shuriken at Eric. Eric dodges until Sasuke charges in and trips Eric mid-air.

Justin: "Holy s-t!" On the ground, Eric sees all 3 ninjas and laughs.

Eric: "Is this some of joke?" Eric charges at Steve and smashes Steve into the window.

Sasuke and Justin: "Oh crap!"

Eric: "I got nothing to lose in 3 minutes. Going make this count."
