Painted Truth
Night
Ema: Wake up, Joker!
Joker: Why wake me up in the middle of the night? Are you mad!
Ema: Your left eye is bleeding, I need to grab a towel to stop the wound.
Joker: Shit! I forgot to apply my eye drops. Ema search my suitcase and find me my eye drops.
Ema: Where! Where! I find them!!
Ema: Stopping the bleeding in his left eye and grabs the towel to prevent more blood loss.
Ema: This is horrible that a person can do that!
Joker: ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That hurts.
Joker: I learned a long time ago that life isn't pretty.
Ema: That is so sad!
The next day
Okazaki: Everyone thanks for coming to my office.
Ema& Joker : No problem, Sensei Okazaki!
Dragon: Why did you call us here?
Okazaki: I called you guys here so I can talk to you about the ''note''
Okazaki, Misaki! Can you read the note!
Misaki: Yes! Sensei, Okazaki. The note follows like these.'' When the day starts I will be taking your view of the see''
Okazaki: I'm afraid that the note means he will be taking the new painting I collected because the painting illustrates the oceans and it Ìs beauty.
Joker&Ema: We agree!
Bodyguards: Same here
Dragon: Your right it makes sense!
Okazaki: But I didn't want to take any chances since I get many threats worldwide and I get used to it but somehow I feel this is more personal.
Joker: Does anyone know that you bought the painting before our meeting?
Okazaki: Only my assistants, bodyguards, and some of my high-ranked co-workers.
Ema&Joker: Interesting!
Dragon: Do you run a family company?
Joker: You're a smart guy Dragon, I see now why you ask him that.
Dragon: Why is that so?
Joker: Testing me I see! Because a wealthy man never trusts anybody but himself or somebody closest to him.
Sakura: Hey! Don't insult sensei be respectful!
Misaki: That is right!
Mira: Show some respect!
Okazaki: It is fine they are right when they said that I don't trust people very easily, but.................... It isn't a family company!
Joker: That fogginess is coming to me, argh!!!!
Dragon& Ema: Are you all right?
Joker: Don't worry it is not my wound!
Joker: The owner is lying, Ema, (Whispering to Ema)
Ema: I see! This is definitely shady!
Joker: I agree!
Dragon: I agree too but what about you're eye? I'm trained to hear even whispering in my academy! We live in hard times where we had to undergo harsh training just to catch criminals. (Whispering) Don't worry you can tell me everything. Our nation taught us to never lie to somebody.
Joker: Fine I have no choice! (Whispering)
Ema: Don't do that!
Joker: I hate to say it but I like Dragon he has some honors.
Joker: Dragon! I'm telling you this and nobody else. You must have read the cold case about me but some information was taken away to protect me and that is. My left eye gives me strange signals whenever somebody lies! My left eye turns foggy. (whispering)
Dragon: Ah I See!! Yeah, I know that case and I think the whole world knows it and it is classified that only high-ranked officers can read it. I always felt that it was strange. Do you know what that is called, Joker?
Joker: No.
Dragon: In my country, we say that whenever you're near your death you gain a phenomenon called intuitions it only happens when we experience so much sadness in our life that we learn how to survive or to see true people's faces! (whispering)
Ema: Wow! It kinda makes sense because Joker has been through so much. (Whispering)
Ema: So If I'm correct, the reason you called all of us here, Is that you believe that somebody you know will steal your painting and somebody is in this room?
Joker: Not bad!!!
Dragon: Your assistant is good she got some skills!
Joker: She learned from the best!
Ema: I guess so!
Dragon: HAHAHAHAH! She is the confident type I like it.
Joker: Shut up!
Okazaki: Silence! I Ìm afraid so! I think somebody will steal my painting and he or she is in the room.
Assistants: Whaaaaat! Mr. Sensei how can you say that after everything we Ìve done for you.
High ranked Co-workers: That is right!
Body Guards: Silence! We cannot do anything now! We must just be careful!
Okazaki: I'm in your hands Joker&Ema and Dragon because you are the only people that saw the painting for the first time...
Dragon: Sensei! You can count on us!!!
Dragon: Bow, Joker, and Ema (Whispering)
Dragon&Joker&Ema: Bowing....................
Okazaki: Bowing back to them...................
Assistants: Sensei, Okazaki! It is time to open the museum!!! The new painting is now shown to people all around the world...

Ema&Dragon&Joker: What is it, Sensei?
Okazaki: Have you find any clues?
Dragon: Not Yet!!!
Joker: Not Yet everything seems fine, so far!
Ema: Nothing to report in a scientific way!
Okazaki: Okay!
Okazaki: Please hear me out! There is a flaw in my system, which means only I can access the painting because there is a switch that allows my fingerprints only!!!! I'm telling you this because I trust you with my secret! ( Whispering)
Dragon&Joker: Yes, You can trust us, Sensei, Okazaki with our lives.
Ema: Yes indeed...
Okazaki: I'm going to see if my bodyguards find something useful?
Lights: Crash.................................................................................. !
Ema: It is dark! What is happening?
Dragon: The thief!
Joker: I think so too!!! But how could he move so quickly?
Ema: Who cares we need to find, Sensei, Okazaki

People: NO?
People: Panicking!!!!!

Dragon&Ema&Joker: Are running to the sound and pushing the crowd away!!!!
People: Hey!!! who is this?????????
Assistants: The electricity is broken! We need to start the back generator.
Sakura: I can Run to the first floor and shut it down!
Assistants: Please do it! We are counting on you!
Killer: Tshuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Stop that Sensei! You don't want to hurt your voice!!!!! ( Whispering)
Okazaki: That voice is familiar to me. You won't steal the painting it is impossible!
Struggling.......................
Killer: Yes indeed! We know each other. I'm going to steal your life and free these paintings from you because paintings should be free.
Okazaki: What do you mean? Struggling...............
Killer: Art shouldn't be for sale it should be free! ( More angry)
Okazaki: Damn! You know about it!!!! Well if you walk away I can give you alot of these original paintings.
Killer: No! I have the perfect way of killing you! I will strangle you and then I will toss you to these alarm lasers then your very own bodyguards will kill you? A sad day for you ( Most angriest)
Okazaki: Strangled...................................................................... Kicked to the painting...
Bodyguards: What is that noise?
Put your night vision and shoot. Bam.Bam.Bam.
Bodyguards: Are Getting close to their targets.
Killer: Shoots Them!
Body Guards: Lying on the floor
Okazaki: Is lying on the floor
Killer: I must be quick! Let me first take the painting from the diamond glass! Because I have no time to see which one is counterfeit.
( Whispering to himself)
Killer: Taking Okazaki's body and using his finger as identification...
Killer: Almost done!!!!! I have to grab just the painting!
Killer: Grabbing the painting................. ( wearing gloves)
Killer: NOOOOOOOOOO! Shit, my hands are glowing!!!! Don't tell me that the bitch sprayed glowing painting if somebody stole it... That bitch is ruining my life over again... Luckily I have gloves. I have an idea!!!!!!! ( Whispering to himself)
Killer: Placed the painting back and he returned where he/she was standing.
Joker&EMA& Dragon: What is this sound?
Body guards& Assistant: What is this sound?
Sakura: What is this sound?
People: The sound is loud. ( screaming and panicking)
Body Guards: Calm Down! We took care of everything!
Sakura: Turning back the backup generator...
The light is turning back on..............................................
Body Guards: Nooooo the boss is dead and a few of our men !!!!!!
Joker: NOOOOOOOOO!!!
EMA: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Dragon: NOOOO! People! I have police officers near the building if you try to escape we will catch you and Put you under arrest!!!!! (Yelling)
Everyone became silent.......................................
Killer: This isn't good I have no escape plan and the glowing paint in my hand is annoying me, but the good thing is I can dispose of the evidence, thanks to my gloves... ( Whispering to himself)
Joker: Not now!! ( Faints)
Ema: Joker!! Damn you fool you didn't take your eye drops in time yet.
He is so clumsy sometimes...
Dragon: Shit!!! It is the symptom of lionfish poisoning. I will call a doctor straight away from, Japan. He knows how to deal with this and I know him very well...
Dragon: People that have come here may leave, but people that knew him personally might not! Because we believe that he is somebody that sensei knew... ( Screaming on his Radio) and please call a doctor!!
The Police force: Evacuating the people...
Killer: Shit I cannot go! The painting is still there! I must stay!! ( thinking to himself)
Ema: But, Dragon what if the killer left with the crowd?
Dragon: Don't worry he won't be going anywhere as long as the painting is here with us. If we do as I say the search would get a lot smoother.
Ema: Omg! You are absolutely right I forgot about the painting when we witnessed all that horror....
Dragon: You are still young! That is why you didn't! I'm used to this and I believe that Joker is used to it too...
Doctor: I have arrived, Dragon, my old friend!
Dragon: Thanks!
Doctor: I'm going to give him a herb that our ancestors used in the old age... It is most effective against the strong and deadliest poison. The Venom will be still there but he would never have to use his eye drops again nor be in pain. All he needs to do is drink these herbs regularly and he will be fine, I would say about one month.
Dragon: Thanks, Doc! You may leave!
Joker: Sleeping.....................................
Ema: The herbs must have taken the effect, good! Thank god we went to, Japan!
Dragon: Indeed!
Dragon: On the behalf of the police force in japan!!! We are going to presume the investigation tomorrow. So we all are going to sleep here.(Yelling)
Ema: What if the killer leaves?
Dragon: He won't the police officers will stay guard and it is hard to steal the painting now.
Killer: Damn! I hate it when he is right! There is no way I can escape like this... Not without my painting.... ( Thinking from himself)
