The Survivors Tell Tales

Act 1 Scene 13: February 16th, The 9 o'clock News in Los Angeles. The anchorman begins the broadcast.

Anchorman: "Hello, viewers. I'm Andrew Rizzo with a developing story. A break-in to stop attempted homicide occured in The McQueen Manor at Oceanview, California. The suspect, Eric McQueen, son of Sondra McQueen, tried to kill his mother with what Mrs. McQueen said was an undetectable poison in her glass of water. She claims that 3 men dressed in black broke into her house and stop her son from committing the homicide."

Mrs. McQueen: "These strange men shut down my security system, got into my house, fought my son and prevented me from drinking water. I'm surprised that they didn't kill me or my son and didn't steal anything at all."

Female Reporter: "Mrs. McQueen also said that she was lucky to be alive if it wasn't for the help of the 3 strangers. Live at Oceanview, I am Tiffany Green for the 9 o'clock New in Angeles signing off."

Andrew: "Thank you, Tiffany. Eric McQueen is currently in an Orange County Jail until his court date. Reminding you that this crime will be added into his very big criminal record. We will continue with more news after the commercial break."

Act 1 Scene 14: February 18th, Oceanview High School. Justin and Steve are eating lunch outside at the stairways.

Steve: "Dude, I saw the news a couple of days ago. It was a good thing that we didn't leave any evidence when we fought Eric."

Justin: "None of any injuries we got weren't that bad either. I don't think my dad saw any of them."

Steve: "Thank God for that." Johnny Andrews then appears.

Johnny: "Hey, Steve! You better stop looking at my girlfriend in science class!"

Steve: "Johnny, she happens to be my science partner. Nothing sexual is going on between us. Get off my case!" Steve pushes Johnny. "Johnny, I didn't mean it."

Johnny: "That does it. Tonight, the local basketball court. Show up or I'll hunt you down like cattle and I'll f-king gut you." Johnny leaves.

Justin: "Uh, oh!" Justin's cellphone rings. The caller ID says, "Unknown". "That's got to be Sasuke. Hello?"

Act 1 Scene 15: February 18th, after school, Sasuke's safehouse.

Sasuke: "The man disrespected you. You must fight him."

Steve: "But, Sasuke..."

Sasuke: "No buts. You must reclaim your honor and diginity."

Steve: "By fighting? I don't think so."

Justin: "He's got a point, Steve. Johnny threatened you. Maybe you should fight him as a ninja."

Sasuke: "Don't worry. I'll help you."

Steve: "Oh, man."

Act 1 Scene 16: February 18th, the local basketball court. Johnny and his friends are waiting for Steve to show up.

Johnny: "Where is that little s-t?"

Friend 1: "Maybe, he is crying in his bed." Johnny's friends laughing. Johnny hears something.

Johnny: "Shut up, guys. Someone's here." The lights in the basketball court flicker on and off multiple times. Then Sasuke and Steve appear in full ninja garb.

Friend 2: "What the hell? How did they get here?"

Steve (whispers): "Sasuke, maybe this isn't a good idea." Sasuke shushs him. Johnny gets closer to them.

Johnny: "Why are you here? I'm waiting for someone to show up. Get lost!" Sasuke and Steve stay put. Johnny gets impatient.

Johnny: "I'm going to count to 3 and I expect you to leave or else. 1..." Sasuke punches Johnny in the face. Steve and Johnny's friends are shocked. Johnny's friends run away.

Steve: "Sasuke, what the hell did you do?"

Sasuke: "Nobody threatens me or my brothers."

The End... for now.
