No Matter Where You Are, People Will Follow You Part 2

Act 2 Scene 33: April 24. Oceanview Police Department. Officers are scrambling to get to Oceanview High.

Justin's dad: "All units. 911 calls confirm that a dangerous intruder is in Oceanview High. So far, only one adult male was killed by the intruder. Also, Chief Aaron Morris has been taken hostage. Our main objective is to keep the school's staff and students safe and protected. Is that clear?"

All officers: "Yes, sir."

Justin's dad: "What are you waiting for? Let's move out!!!"

Act 2 Scene 34: Oceanview High Gymnasium. Sasuke is face to face with Quentin.

Sasuke: "Quentin, why are you here?"

Quentin:  "Because I want to see you guys again. By the way, where are the other two? Are they preparing to attack me in the shadows."

Sasuke: "They are not here. I'm fighting you myself."

Quentin: "Really? That's fine."

Sasuke: "Leave Chief Morris alone. It's not worth it killing someone else."

Quentin: " If only you knew, Aaron was the one that got me out of the slammer. He was so fed up with you getting away from you. In his eyes, he thinks of you as a dangerous monster ready to kill everyone in the city. And as for me, I want payback from you."

Sasuke: "Drop the gun, right now."

Quentin: "I'm not going to jail. You or the police are going to have to kill me."

Sasuke: "Then, you leave me no choice." The gym lights dim down. Aaron Morris regains consciousness.

Quentin: "So you're awake." Quentin grabs Aaron and throws him to the wall. Sasuke, in a flash, delivers a roundhouse kick to Quentin's stomach. "Uh..." Quentin falls on his knees and starts to have trouble breathing.

Sasuke: "Had enough, Quentin?" Quentin gets furious and started to shoot recklessly. Aaron is running for cover to avoid the bullets.

Act 2 Scene 35: Outside the high school. The police are at the parking lot.

Officer 1: "Shots fired. We need to get in here." Cops rush through the doors.

Justin's dad: "Justin, where are you?"

Justin: "I'm here, Dad."

Justin's dad: "Thank God. Boys, are there anymore people left in the school?"

Justin and Steve: "No."

Act 2 Scene 36: the gym. Quentin reloads his gun.

Quentin: "You must really love this, ninja boy. In the end, I'm going to laugh at your bullet-filled corpse." Aaron fires a shot at Quentin.

Aaron: "Both of you are going to die today! I will be a f-king hero after this." Quentin runs towards Aaron and throws punch after punch on Aaron's body.

Quentin (breathing heavily): "That's enough from you." Quentin cocks his gun, but the cops bursts through the gym doors. "Oh, s-t!" He fires a bullet at the cops.

Officer 2: "Open fire!" The cops kill Quentin by shooting him.

Aaron: "Good work, officers." An officer puts handcuffs on Aaron. "What the hell is this?" Justin's dad appears.

Justin's dad: "Aaron Morris, you're under arrest for helping a dangerous convict escape from police convict and for assaulting police officers. You have the right to remain silent."

Aaron: "No, no, no!" He collapses on the ground and starts to cry. "The Ninjas are still out there, you idiots! You need me." Officers put Aaron in the police car and paramedics put Quentin's body in the ambulance.

Act 2 Scene 37: Sasuke's safe house. Sasuke looks at his bloody ninja clothes.

Steve: "Sasuke, are you okay?"

Sasuke: "Yeah, I'm fine."

Justin: "How did you avoid the cops?"

Sasuke: "I left when Chief Morris shot at Quentin. I don't want to get into bloody details."

Justin and Steve: "That's fine."

End of Act 2

No Matter Where You Are, People Will Follow You

Act 2 Scene 28: April 24. Oceanview High. Justin and Steve are having lunch with Sasuke on top of a tree so none of the other students or staff wouldn't see Sasuke.

Steve: "So this is a first... eating lunch with you at school."

Sasuke: "Yeah. I rarely do this with you guys."

Justin: "Well, we decided you deserve it. You know why because you're a good friend."

Sasuke: "Aw, thanks. That means a lot to me."

Act 2 Scene 29: Oceanview High Parking Lot. Chief Aaron Morris and escaped convict Quentin Patterson were parked at the farthest parking spot in the school.

Aaron: "You understand the plan." He shows Quentin the school map. "I hear a rumor that The Ninjas might be students of this high school. I lied to the school that I was going to do a school assembly about doing time.You try to find anyone who wil react to my words. Understand."

Quentin: "Yes, I understand."

Act 2 Scene 30: Oceanview High Main Entrance. Quentin entering the main entrance. Aaron follows as well.

Security Guard: "Excuse me, sir. Can I help you?"

Quentin: "I'm here to do an assembly."

Security Guard: "Uh, I didn't hear that there was an assembly today."

Aaron (quietly): "Oh, s-t." Quentin rushes the security guard. He grabs him by the neck.

Quentin: "Listen, you d-k! The Ninjas are here and I'm going to beat the living s-t out of them."

Security Guard (getting choked): "Wait a minute. You're that guy that got escaped from police custody." Quentin got very pissed and crushed the security guard's neck to death.

Aaron: "Quentin, what the f-k did you do?!" Quentin runs away from Aaron. Aaron rushes to the fire alarm and pulls the fire alarm. He then runs to main office and goes to the intercom. "Attention students and staff. There's a dangerous intruder in the school. Get out of the school immediately."

Act 2 Scene 31: Oceanview High Tennis Court where The Ninjas were eating lunch. The student body and the teachers run in a panic.

Justin: "Sasuke, someone's in the school that's after us."

Sasuke: "Don't panic. Whoever is inside the school will only see me. Boys, stay with your classmates and teachers so no one gets suspicious."

Steve: "You really thought this through."

Justin: "Okay, we won't be in the way. Be safe, Sasuke."

Steve: "Same here. Do whatever you can." Sasuke nods and throws a smoke bomb to leave.

Female Teacher: "Mr. Myers and Mr. Brandywine, stay with the group."

Both Justin and Steve: "Yes, ma'am."

Act 2 Scene 32: Oceanview High Gymnasium. Quentin is tearing the gym apart to find The Ninjas.

Quentin (angrily): "Where are you, you sad sacks of s-t?! Show yourselves!" Aaron Morris enters the gym.

Aaron (shaking his pistol): "Freeze, Quentin! I mean it! This wasn't part of the plan!" Sasuke enters the gym undetected.

Quentin (laughs): "Look at you. Trying to hold a gun. When you shot my arresting officer's tires, I didn't know what you were thinking."

Sasuke (thinking): "The police chief grabbed Quentin under all that confusion. I knew I should've kept track on the police car."

Quentin: "Drop the gun. You don't have the balls to pull the trigger." Aaron screams and fires two bullets, but misses Quentin. Quentin smacks Aaron with a pipe, knocking out cold. "Time to die, partner." Sasuke throws shuriken at Quentin.

Sasuke: "Don't kill him. I'm here."

Never Leave Your Enemies Alive

Act 2 Scene 23: April 17. A Yakuza Meetinghouse. Kohta Sanada and the rest of the Headless Dragon Clan go to their monthly meeting with the other yakuza groups.

Kohta (to his gang): "I'm not happy about this, guys."

Gang Member: "Sir, we need to do this. We are still a relatively new clan to the Japanese Underground."

Kohta: "Fine. I guess I have no choice." Kohta knocks on the door. The door opens and a few older yakuza appears. "My masters, I have it to your summit."

Yakuza Boss 1: "Let's get inside. We've wasted enough time." The older bosses go inside along with some of the Headless Dragon Clan except Kohta.

Kohta (to two shadowy figures): "Find anything involving the ninja boy that got away.

Ninja 1: "Yes, sir. I obey. Ready?"

Ninja 2: "Hmm." The two ninjas disappear without a trace. Kohta does go inside to catch up with the others.

Act 2 Scene 24: The Boardroom. All yakuza bosses are laughing and having a fun time. Kohta is hiding his true ambitions.

Yakuza Boss 3: "Kohta, are you okay?"

Kohta: "Yeah, why?"

Yakuza Boss 3: "You are not yourself today."

Kohta: "I'm fine, really."

Act 2 Scene 25: The hallways of the Yakuza Meetinghouse. Kohta's extra help is trying to find clues on the whereabouts of Sasuke.

Ninja 1: "So far, so good. Anything yet?" Ninja 2 nods his head "No." Ninja 1 hears a sound and perpares for an attack. Ninja 1 opens the door and spots two men guarding a file cabinet.

Act 2 Scene 26: Back at the Boardroom. Kohta is drinking his cup of sake. He is still stone-faced while everyone else is having a good time partying, singing karaoke and hitting on the women.

Yoshitaka: "Sir, what's wrong?"

Kohta: "Nobody is answering any of my questions. I'm getting really pissed." Kohta's earpiece turns on and he hears screaming in the background.

Ninja 1: "Master, we found something you might want to see. We're getting out of here. By the way, try to have some fun."

Kohta: "Very well, then I'll have some fun." Kohta appears to have fun with the yakuza bosses and minions. Little do they know, Kohta is still hellbent on finding anything relating to Sasuke.

Act 2 Scene 27: A couple of hours after the party. Kohta is back to the Headless Dragon Clan HQ.

Ninja 1: "Here you go, Master. Everything you need to know about the ninja that ran away." He drops a file that lengthy stack of papers.

Kohta: "Thank you. That will be all."

Ninja 1:  "Let's go."

Ninja 2: "Hmm." Kohta opens the  file and starts to read.

Kohta: "Oh, I see." He throws the file st the doors and starts slicing his wall with his sword.

The End... for now.

Anger and Rage Will Consume You

Act 2 Scene 18: April 9th. Chief Aaron Morris' Office. Aaron is throwing darts at a bad, blurry photo of The Ninjas. He is both depressed and angry that he couldn't arrest them.

Justin's dad: "Can I come in, sir?"

Aaron: "No. Leave me alone, Kevin."

Justin's dad: "Sir, please. The building is going to be full of holes if you keep on sulking."

Aaron: "Sigh. Maybe you're right. I'm going out for some air."

Justin's dad: "That would be best. Need any company?"

Aaron: "No thanks. I'll be fine. Really. See you tomorrow." Aaron leaves his office and goes to the local park.

Act 2 Scene 19: April 9. The local park. Birds are singing, a kid learning to ride a bike and a group of older men playing baseball. Aaron's sitting on the park bench while taking deep, calming breaths.

Aaron (to himself): "What a nice day out. I'm at peace now." He then hears rustling in the nearby bushes. "Who's there?" A rabbit pops out and hops away. Aaron chuckles in relief. "I just a little on edge. No big deal." A newspaper lying on the ground beside him. He picks it up and starts to read it.

Old lady: "Excuse me, sir. That's my newspaper. Can I have that back?"

Aaron: "Oh, sure." As soon as he hands the paper to her, he spots an article in the paper about The Ninjas. He is tempted to yank the paper from the old lady.

Old lady: "Thank you, sir. Say, aren't you Chief Aaron Morris?" Aaron was starting to get a little steamed.

Aaron: "Yes, why do you ask?"

Old lady: "Well, it's kind of weird that you want The Ninjas behind bars. They're going a lot of good." Aaron loses it and punches the old lady down to the ground. "Get away from me or I'll call the cops!" Aaron runs from the old lady and makes sure no one saw him hurt the old lady.

Act 2 Scene 20: April 9. Aaron's car. Aaron is sobbing silently and screaming very quietly that no one can hear him. He then turns on the radio and hears a news broadcast.

Reporter: "The Ninjas took down a deranged and unstable man from shooting his ex-wife. Police identify the suspect as Quentin Patterson and in ninja fashion, The Ninjas disappear without a trace." Aaron turns off the radio and hears his cell phone.

Aaron: "Hello..." His wife is on the other line. "Hi, Carol."

Carol: "Honey, Bobby and I are worried about you. You can talk to us."

Aaron: "I know." He clears his throat. "I'll be home in 3 hours. I'll see you later."

Carol: "Okay. Bobby's making Firehouse Chili for dinner. We'll save a bowl when you come home."

Aaron: "Right. Sounds good. Okay. See ya later. Bye-bye". He turns off the phone and starts to drive somewhere.

Act 2 Scene 21:  3 hours later. The Morris Home. Aaron, with his wife and son, are eating chili.

Bobby: "How's the chili, Dad?"

Aaron: "It's good, sport. Really."

Carol: "It's good seeing you eat with us. We were starting to get worried about you."

Aaron: "Don't worry. The important thing is I'm here with both of you here with me."

Carol: "Listen, Aaron. We know that The Ninjas are giving a hard time. They're only helping the community."

Aaron: "They are secretly criminals in the Japanese Underground and they have plans with this city. I'm going to find what they are. I'll be in the shed. Knock first." Aaron leaves in the dinner table.

Act 2 Scene 22: Aaron's shed. Aaron is working on something.

Aaron: "This is the only option left to getting rid of The Ninjas once for all. That's where you come in." Aaron's talking to Quentin Patterson. In the 3 hours before he came back his home, he shot at the police car that Quentin was in and he put Quentin in his shed.

Quentin: "Why did you bring me here?"

Aaron: "I grabbed you because you are the most recent criminal that The Ninjas defeated. I know where they might be. I want you to find all 3 and kill them."

The End... For now.
