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.
