Act 2 Scene 1: March 17th. Various Local News Channels are airing a lot of Ninjas stories.
Reporter 1: "I am here live at the Motorcycle Bar where the one of the Orange County Ninjas ended a violent St. Patrick's Day bar brawl between two men." TV changes channel.
Reporter 2: "The Ninjas saved a woman from getting raped by serial rapist Jonah Saunders." TV changes channel.
Reporter 3: "The Ninjas stopped an underground dog fighting circuit. The Ninjas assaulted the vile men and the dogs are now living at a local humane animal shelter. Doctors are checking all dogs for any physical injuries." TV changes channel.
Spanish Reporter 1 (translated to English): "The Ninjas are doing a lot of good for the various communities. Case in point, The Ninjas are secretly going to the Children's Hospital and giving healthy snacks to the children when they are asleep." TV turns off.
Act 2 Scene 2: March 17th. Oceanview Police Station. Chief Aaron Morris is upset that The Ninjas are not beind bars. He ponders about other things.
Aaron (to himself): "The Ninjas are guilty of assault and battery and home invasion. They are not killing their targets or stealing anything. At the same time, these guys are doing good deeds and stopping illegal acts. What I don't understand is why does everyone love them so much? When did the world become a comic book?!" A knock on the door. "Come in". It is Justin's dad. "Ah, Kevin. What do you want?"
Justin's dad: "I just overheard your ranting and raving. It is very strange that The Ninjas can harm a wealthy man and save a cat from up a tree in the same night."
Aaron: "So you agree with me?" Justin's dad shrugs his head.
Justin's dad: "In a way, but don't let this eat you up inside. Think about your family."
Aaron: "Maybe you're right. I'm getting some pizza. Want some?"
Justin's dad: "No thanks. I'm good." Aaron leaves his office.
Act 2 Scene 3: March 17th. Aaron is in his car thinking about The Ninjas still.
Aaron (to himself): "What is their motive? Clearly they are not killers or thieves. I'll need to talk to Thomas Tyson at the hospital.
Act 2 Scene 4: Thomas Tyson's hospital room. Aaron is there to ask Thomas some questions.
Aaron: "I'm going to be brief, Mr. Tyson. I'm just going to ask you some questions. After that, I'll be on my way."
Thomas: "Okay."
Aaron: "Why did The Ninjas show up at your house that night?"
Thomas: "I really don't know. All I know is that one of them said they came to my house to "punish me"."
Aaron: "Punish you?"
Thomas: "Right".
Aaron: "Not killing you? That's very hard to believe. Did they leave any evidence in your house?"
Thomas: "Actually, yes." Thomas points to the shelf next to his hospital bed. It was a kunai knife with a significant symbol of a shadow about to kill a person.
Aaron: "Incredible. I thought they were just a Japanese myth."
Thomas: "What are you talking about?"
Aaron: "The Order of the Shadow. They are a group of nomadic people that live in the woods of Japan."
Thomas: "Why are they doing here in California?"
Aaron: "I really know. I only have one more question left for you."
Thomas: "Sure."
Aaron: "Does someone have a vendetta against you? Be honest".
Thomas: "To tell you the truth, I have a lot of enemies. It would be hard to find the people who hired them. I just do my job to make a living."
Aaron: "I see. Get better soon. Do whatever you can to protect yourself once you leave the hospital. Good bye." Aaron leaves.
Thomas (to himself): "I'm going to find the people responsible for hiring The Ninjas and make them pay dearly."
Act 2 Scene 5: March 17th. Aaron's car. Aaron driving to his house.
Aaron: "The Ninjas are criminals no matter what. No good deeds will redeem these bastards. I will love to see them in a jail cell with no end in sight."
The End... for now.
