Act 1
Chapter 2
Author's Note:
I suggest you play "Mephiles Whisper" when you reach the 2nd paragraph of this chapter as it adds to the mood of the scene.
Meanwhile, at the house, Mario was just watching some TV when Jeffy, as usual, annoys him by jumping on the couch and making weird noises. "Jeffy, stop it," said Mario in an annoyed and aggressive tone. "But why?" "Because I'm trying to watch TV!" "But I wanna play on the couch, daddy!" Jeffy said in a whiny and loud manner. Mario sighed and decided to think about doing something else as watching TV quietly wasn't an option. But then he got an idea. "You know what, Jeffy? How about you and I spend some time together outside?" "But where will we even go, daddy?" "I'm gonna think of something, but for now, let's just go for a walk, and I'll tell you where we can go, okay?" Mario and Jeffy got up and went through the front door onto the street. It was a hot and sunny day, and it was around 2:30 PM.
10 Hours Ago:
It was very late at night, and an abandoned building, which used to be a garage that went out of business 15 years ago, was surrounded by darkness, with only the rays of the moon illuminating the area. A suspicious white van appeared outside the front gate, and a strange figure emerged from the darkness of the night, only illuminated by the van's lights. The figure jumped over the front gate's fence and entered the building. Once he opened the front door, the mysterious figure was revealed to be none other than Screwball the clown. He came to the abandoned building because he was meeting someone for a job. "What took you so long, man?" The Loan Dolphin said in a curious and slightly tired manner. "Sorry, I just couldn't be seen around in daylight moving around, or else I could be caught." "Whatever, man. So what do you think the job is even gonna be about in the first place?" "Your job is to bring 'him' to me..." Suddenly, Nancy stepped out of the shadows; she had hired Screwball and the Loan Dolphin to do her bidding. "I want you to grab 'him' and bring him to me." "So you want us to do a kidnapping operation, I suppose?" asked the Loan Dolphin. "Indeed. I can't wait any longer as I am on the run from the police. I just need you to get the target and bring him to me. I'm gonna get my money... even if it means I have to KILL HIM."
