Guilt is a Double-Edged Sword

Act 3 Scene 8: May 23. Local news channel. A news anchor gives the news to the viewers.

Anchorman: "It was almost a month when a crazed maniac infiltrated Oceanview High to kill a staff member and get into a fight with one of The Ninjas. We go live to our reporter on the street to see what the school is doing."

Reporter: "Marc, the school is creating a memorial for the school security guard that was killed by the madman, Quentin Paterson. It turned out that disgraced Police Chief Aaron Morris attacked Quentin's arresting officers and used Quentin to lure the Orange County Ninjas out of hiding to arrest them." T.V. Channel was changed to another channel.

Act 3 Scene 9: Steve Brandywine's house. Justin and Steve were watching the news story until Steve's mom changed the channel.

Steve's mom: "I'm done hearing about that school invasion. The school has already heightened the security in the school."

Steve: "Mom, do you think The Ninjas could be in our school."

Steve's mom: "If they are, they probably should've protected the security guard before it was too late." Steve's mom leaves the living room.

Justin: "It seems like the only crime The Ninjas are charged with murdering Mr. Willow, even though we didn't kill him."

Steve: "True, I wonder what Sasuke is thinking about right now. We haven't heard from him a couple of weeks ago." Steve's phone rings.

Justin: "Speak of the devil."

Steve: "Hey, Sasuke. Okay, we will be right there."

Justin: "We have to go to his house, right?"

Act 3 Scene 10: Sasuke's safe house. Sasuke talks to Justin and Steve.

Sasuke: "I've been thinking. Should we make an announcement to the community?"

Steve: "What do you mean? Like a video?"

Sasuke: "In a way. Obliviously, we still can't reveal our identities or the location of the safe house to the public."

Justin: "You put a lot of thought into this, huh?" Sasuke nods a "yes".

Act 3 Scene 11: A local news station. Marc the anchorman sees a discarded DVD on the desk.

Marc: "Does anyone see this DVD on the desk?" He puts the DVD on and watches the whole video. A few minutes later... "Ladies and gentlemen, I found this DVD on the news desk a couple of minutes ago. I watched it along with the entire crew. It contains a message from The Ninjas."

Act 3 Scene 12: The video feed from The Ninjas. Their identities covered up.

Sasuke: "Citizens of Oceanview, we are here to tell you that we are guilty for not saving the security guard at the high school. This is our responsibility to protect like a mother hen."

Steve: "Find it in your heart to forgive us after that day of crisis."

Justin: "We placed flowers and candles at Mr. Henry Willow's grave. We also reached out to Mrs. Willow and their children to help them cope a bit more."

Steve: "We like to say goodbye for now. We still are making a difference to the community."Thank you and good bye." The footage stops.

Marc: "Folks, I don't know what to say expect thank you, Ninjas. For all of us here at the news station, I'm Marc Vanderbilt."

Act 3 Scene 13: Back at the safe house.

Steve: "Now what, Sasuke?"

Sasuke: "I guess we'll just have to wait."

The End... For Now.
