Enemies Also Emerge in the Shadows

Act 1 Scene 17: February 19th. Orange County Mercy Hospital. The newscasters are waiting for the doctors  that are working on Johnny Andrews. Two doctors then appear and go towards the podium. One of the doctors begin to talk.

Doctor 1: "Thank you for coming. To answer anyone's questions, Johnny had suffered from a mild concussion and a broken nose. He is breathing normally and has woken up 5 minutes ago. His parents are at his bedside. Any questions?" All reporters are raising their hands. The second doctor chooses someone.

Reporter 1: "Does he know who did this to him?"

Doctor 2: "Johnny is talking to the cops at his bedside. He is telling them that he was attacked by 2 of the ninjas that attacked Eric McQueen." More reporters are raising their hands.

Reporter 2: "Do you think the police will catch the ninjas?" A man then appears.

Chief Aaron Morris: "I'll answer this question. We are going to do everything we can to bring the ninjas to justice. I will be creating a special task force to find the ninjas and put them in jail."

Doctor 1: "No more questions."

Act 1 Scene 18: February 19th. Justin and his father's apartment. Justin and his father are eating dinner.

Justin's dad: "That kid should be lucky to be alive. Why were the ninjas there?"

Justin: "I really couldn't tell you. Do you think that the ninjas were spying on anyone that wanted to hurt someone?"

Justin's dad: "Probably." The house phone starts to ring. "I'll get it." Justin's father leaves the kitchen and Justin texts Steve with his cell phone.

Justin (texts): "Steve, did you watch the news?"

Steve (texts): "Yes. Sasuke really did a number on Johnny. I'm glad he didn't kill him, but that was overboard."

Justin (texts): "Yeah, no kidding. Did Sasuke talk to you after that?"

Steve (texts): "No. He just said that no one threatens him or "his brothers"."

Justin (texts): "My dad is coming back to the kitchen. Talk to you later." Justin's father reappears.

Justin's dad: "I need to get going. Something just came up. See you later, son."

Justin: "Bye."

Act 1 Scene 19: February 19th. Oceanview Police Department. Police Chief Aaron Morris is waiting in his office for any officers to come by. A knock on the door.

Aaron: "Come in." A couple of officers show up including Justin's father. "Good, you all are here."

Justin's dad: "It took me a while to decide if I should help out or not."

Aaron: "I don't blame you, Detective Myers. The truth is we can't allow these thugs to show ruin this town's reputation."

Officer 1: "Those guys are seriously going to pay for scaring the community."

Aaron: "Believe me. I would love to lock these guys up and throw away the key. Their criminal record is growing at an alarming rate. It's probably some of the street gangs and drug addicts trying to steal money from the residents."

Justin's dad: "Can I say something?"

Aaron: "Sure."

Justin's dad: "Do you think these guys are a local gang? What if they're from a different country?"

Aaron: "Well, Kevin. When we catch them, I'll see what I can do. Everyone, start up bright and early for tomorrow. Dismissed."

Act 1 Scene 20: February 20th. The Headless Dragon Clan Hideout in Kyoto, Japan. Kohta Sanada (boss of the Headless Dragon Clan) ponders where Sasuke is. One of his men enter his room.

Kohta: "Ah, Yoshitaka. Come in."

Yoshitaka: "You wanted to speak to me, sir."

Kohta: "How is the search for the lone ninja?"

Yoshitaka: "Not very well, sir. Every step we take is just another dead end for us."

Kohta (angrily): "Try harder, dammit! I will not rest until every single ninja is dead!"

Yoshitaka: "Yes, sir. Very sorry to give this bad news. I will see if I can find another lead." Yoshitaka leaves.

Kohta (talking to someone in the room): "I think it's time for a little detective work. Don't you agree?" Two shadowy figures nod their heads.

Both shadowy figures: "Yes, sir."

The End... for now.
