Chapter 1: Discovery
Scene: CalSci, inside Amita and Charlie's office. No Charlie but Larry and Amita.
"Hey have you seen Charlie, he won't answer his phone," asked Don to Amita and Larry
Larry came back from the monastery after hearing what happened.
"We haven't seen him for a while," answered Larry.
"Why? New case?" asked Amita.
"Yeah, well actually no, it looks like a copycat. Remember the case with the Zambian relief money? Well apparently a truck like that was hi-jacked."
"Was it a relief mission truck too?" asked Amita.
"The money and the medicine were going to another African region."
"All those poor children with their only opportunity for a better tomorrow taken away from them. It's like taking away the energy of a star, leaving it just a black hole." said Larry.
"Don't worry, Larry, their not going to turn into black holes," said Amita with a grin.
Don's cell phone rings.
"Hello… yeah okay I'm on my way."
"Another case?" asked Amita.
"Yeah, this time it's a copycat of the 'Janus List' case, part of the case anyway" said Don
"Somebody blew up a bridge?" asked Larry.
"No, but they threatened to blow up the same bridge that that old guy attempted to blow up 4 weeks ago," said Don.
"You should go, lives are in danger there," said Larry.
"Yeah, we'll just call you when we see Charlie," said Amita.
"'K, thanks guys," said Don
Scene: Bridge, Megan, and David are on location. Don just arrives.
"Did you find Charlie?" asked Megan.
"Nope, anyway, what happened here?" asked Don.
"An explosion came from the water, and then a couple of guys from a helicopter used a megaphone and said something in Chinese. All this happened in no less than 3 minutes. They said something about the FBI and you Don," said David.
"Wait, how did you know all this?" asked Don.
"This is where is pass when I 'm almost late. Don, they said something about Colby," said David.
"We're thinking these were the people who hired Colby in the first place," said Megan.
Another agent approached them.
"Sir, a news crew was going through here and got a shot of the guys in the helicopter. We managed to get the video translated," said the agent.
"Good, where is it?" asked Don.
"Right this way sir," said the agent.
The agent led the 3 to the news van. The video showed the explosion and the guys on the helicopter with a megaphone.
"What is he saying?" asked Don.
The other agent handed Don a notepad.
"To the FBI agent on the bridge: Tell this to your lead agent, we have what he is looking for. To get it back, we need our best agent back. Don't worry if you don't get this we can send you more."
"What is he talking about?" asked Don.
"He shows signs of wanting to be mysterious yet still being as obvious as a 3 year old," said Megan.
"Wait, they were Chinese and they knew about these cases…they want Colby or the other guy," said David.
"But wait, why do they still need either of them?" asked Don.
"They are the Chinese's best agents," said Megan.
"Then who is he referring to the one I'm looking for?" asked Don.
Don looks puzzled.
"Charlie! I've been looking for him and Amita and Larry said that they haven't seen him for awhile," said Don.
"Don, then that means…" said Megan.
"They kidnapped Charlie…" said David.
