Mystery

Enter Jack. Jack: I want everybody in the audience to close their eyes. While your eyes are closed I'm going to take you to a time when people didn't know if their names were actually true or false. Now, when you open your eyes, I'm going to take you back to the present. Masked Man, come here. Enter Masked Man. 

Jack: If you fail to take over this city for me or if you double cross me, then I will give the files you've been keeping secret to the people who can do you the most damage. However, I will wait and see if you're able to take over this city. Exit Jack.

Masked Man: This is my city. Well, it's not actually my city. It's Jack Thomas' city. Mr. Thomas, who I call Boss, is taking complete control over the city and I'm helping him. Basically I do all of the work for Mr. Thomas. I paid off the mayor, the city council, and the police force. But there is a problem: some people are trying to foil my plan. There is a group called the Hackers Network System that doesn't want one person to run the show. They want a lot of people making decisions for this city. I can't let that happen. Morgana, come here. Enter Morgana. 

Masked Man: Kevin is a member of the Hackers Network System. Here is the license plate number of his car. I want you to fix Kevin's car so that the next time he drives it he will die in an accident. I will raise your salary if you do this for me.

Morgana: I don't know how to tamper with his brakes, so you'll have to find someone else to do it. Masked Man: Don't make excuses. 

Morgana: I do know someone who makes pretty good bombs. Would it be okay if he blows Kevin's car up? 

Masked Man: Go right ahead. I just don't want to see Kevin ever again. Exit Masked Man and Morgana. Enter Martin and Rick. 

Martin: Let's grab some dinner. I'm getting hungry!  

Rick: There's a new Mexican Village a couple of blocks from here; I hear their food is always good. Martin: Okay, let's meet there in an hour; I have to get cleaned up before we eat. Exit Martin and Rick. Enter Martin and Rick into the Mexican Village. Martin and Rick sit down at a booth. Enter Charles. 

Charles: Hi, Martin and Rick; I haven't seen you for a while. What can I get for you? 

Martin: I didn't know you worked here! I'll have a Steak Fajitas with your special sauce, and I'll have a Dos Equis to go with that. Rick: I'll try the same thing. 

Charles: Okay, I'll be right back with your meals. Charles brings the meals.

Charles: Is there anything I can get for you? 

Martin: This will do. 

Charles: When you're finished, you can you pay your bill. Exit Charles. 

Rick: I'm glad that Masked Man's servant asked Mr. Henchman to blow up Kevin's car. Hopefully Masked Man won't find out that Mr. Henchman blew it up without Kevin in it.

Martin: We need to make sure that Masked Man doesn't find out that Mr. Henchman is a member of our Hackers Network System. 

Rick: If only we could find out who Masked Man really is. 

Martin: Then he wouldn't be able to take over this city. 

Rick: If we expose Masked Man's true identity, Jack Thomas won't trust him any more. 

Martin: That is going to be a tough job. Let's go back to headquarters and see how Kevin and Henchman are doing. Martin and Rick finish their dinners, then leave after paying the bill. Masked Man and Morgana start talking. 

Masked Man: Now that Kevin is dead the Hacker's Network System will be finished. I can finally make this city mine! Well, not really mine, but it can finally be Jack Thomas' city. You know what I mean. Morgana: If Kevin is really dead, there should be some trace of his body. Otherwise, Mr. Henchman is trying to make you think that Kevin is dead, in order to foil your plan. I also got a report that Mr. Henchman isn't his real name. 

Masked Man: Then do some research and find out Mr. Henchman's real name, and don't give me any more excuses. 

Masked Man: Morgana, let's go back to my headquarters. Well, not really my headquarter but it belong to Jack Thomas. He just allow me used his headquarters to work out this mystery ourselves. Masked Man and Morgana freeze. Enter Kevin and Mr. Henchman. 

Kevin: Henchman, have you cracked Masked Man's computer password yet? 

Mr. Henchman: Not yet. His computer keeps changing its encrypted password, so I have to find the current password. Once I get it, I will only have thirty seconds to find the information you want on Masked Man. 

Kevin: Is there any way you can find it in less than thirty seconds? 

Mr. Henchman: Yes, if I know where to look for it. It will go a lot faster if you're using another computer at the same time.

 Kevin: Okay, but you will have to guide me through it because I don't know anything about being a hacker. Kevin and Mr. Henchman freeze. Masked Man and Morgana start talking. 

Morgana: Masked Man, I talked to a lot of people, but the only name that turned up isn't the one you want. 

Masked Man: Why must my plan have so many dead ends? Morgana, try to get me something I can work with. 

Morgana: I could have the police search for any records on Mr. Henchman's birth certificate to see what his birth name was; then we can see if anyone is currently using that name. 

Masked Man: That's the first smart thing you've said! Have the police check on it and tap Mr. Henchman's family and friends' telephones so that we can listen to their conversations.

 Morgana: Okay, I will get right on it. Meet me back at your headquarters tomorrow morning and I might have something for you then. Masked Man and Morgana freeze. Kevin and Mr. Henchman start talking. 

Kevin: Mr. Henchman, have you found anything yet on Masked Man?

Mr. Henchman: I did find a way to get two people inside of Masked Man's headquarters without anybody suspecting anything. He is changing the guards on duty for a patrol outside of his headquarters tonight around 9:00. So, I got two guard uniforms for Martin and Rick, and they are going undercover. 

Kevin: That what I need. I can have Martin and Rick go through the files while they're on patrol. 

Mr. Henchman: You probably should be heading over to the phone booth to tell them.

Kevin: Thanks for reminding me. 

Mr. Henchman: Anytime. Kevin and Mr. Henchman freeze. Enter Martin and Rick. Martin: Rick, we need to find a way to get into Masked Man's headquarters without his guard catching us. 

Rick: If we can get two copies of Masked Man's security card then we can get through the gate, but we need to find someone who knows how to make copies for us. 

Martin: Let's see if Kevin knows anybody. Kevin start talking. 

Martin: Kevin, we were wondering if you know of anyone who can make us two copies of Masked Man's card so that we can bypass the gate. 

Kevin: Here are two guard uniforms, and they come with two security cards. Martin, Rick and Kevin freeze. Masked Man and Morgana start talking. 

Masked Man: Morgana, do you have anything to report to me? 

Morgana: Well, I had the police check database on the alter ego and it said that there were too many possibilities, so they need to narrow it down. If the police can find out when the alter ego was born, that will narrow the search. 

Masked Man: Have the police get right on it so that I can finally make Mr. Henchman pay for aiding my enemy. I will come back in twenty-four hours; hopefully by that time you will have something for me. 

Morgana: Okay, I will get right on it. Masked Man and Morgana freeze. Enter Martin and Rick into Masked Man's headquarters. 

Martin: All we have to do is check Masked Man's files to see what he has been keeping secret, then report back to Kevin. 

Rick: Okay, where should we start looking for his files? 

Martin: They will probably be in his office, but if he is smart he may have destroyed them already. Rick: Then we have to find them quickly, before he has time to shred them. Rick and Martin exit into another room.

Next Day

Masked Man and Morgana start talking. 

Masked Man: Morgana, what have you found out about Mr. Henchman? 

Morgana: The police couldn't find any record of Mr. Henchman's birth. So, it turns out to be another dead end. 

Masked Man: All of your ideas turn out to be dead ends! You have to do better. 

Morgana: I did find out from the police that Mr. Henchman has an alter ego, so if we can locate Mr. Henchman's alter ego there might be a chance that Mr. Henchman will remember what happened while Mr. Henchman was in his other form. 

Masked Man: That sounds like something I can work with that won't lead to a dead end. We need to find Mr. Henchman separated forms and talk to him. If this works, you can choose whether you want to stay as my servant or be promoted to be a part my team. Whenever I have a plan I run it by my team to see if they can think of anything I've forgotten to include. If you become a team member, you can be involved in the decision-making process. Masked Man and Morgana freeze. Martin and Rick are searching for anything useful in an office. 

Rick: Have you found anything that we can take to Kevin? 

Martin: Nothing yet; these files have to do with staff meetings. 

Rick: I might have found something interesting; there's information about Charles in one of these files. Martin: What does it have to say about him? 

Rick: Charles started working at Mexican Village one week after Masked Man started using these headquarters. So, these headquarters must belong to Masked Man's boss. 

Martin: There might be more files about Charles in Masked Man's office. I found a blueprint of this building, but it doesn't show his office. It does show a main office, though. 

Rick: So, according to the blueprint, Masked Man's office might be in a secret passage, or it might be inside of the main office. He could be sharing office space with his boss. Martin exit the room to search for the main office. Kevin and Mr. Henchman start talking. 

Kevin: Mr. Henchman, can you get into Masked Man's database and delete all the files? 

Mr. Henchman: Masked Man's database is probably close to him at all times. I could use a different computer and hack into his database, but the security will be hard to crack. 

Kevin: Rick, can you help Mr. Henchman with this? 

Rick: Sure; we'll get right on it. Kevin and Mr. Henchman freeze. Enter Martin and Rick into the Main Office. 

Rick: Martin, log on to your laptop and see if Mr. Henchman's files have been accessed on Masked Man's database. I'll do the same thing on my laptop. 

Martin: Not yet.

Rick: I checked Masked Man's database on Mr. Henchman and your name came up, so I deleted your name from the list of suspects. 

Martin: Let's see what the main office files have on Charles, so that we'll have a lot of information to give Kevin. 

Rick: All of the file cabinets are empty. Masked Man probably cleared them out to protect his identity. Martin: This database has information on all of the people who work at Mexican Village. Charles isn't on the employee list, so Mexican Village isn't his real job. Kevin start talking. 

Kevin: Did you two find anything interesting? 

Rick: The database had Martin on the suspect list, so I deleted his name. 

Martin: Charles at Mexican Village isn't listed as an employee, plus he started working there one week after Masked Man started working at his boss's headquarters. I also found out that the Police Department is working for Masked Man. 

Kevin: Nice work, guys. Charles is Masked Man's real name. He's just working at Mexican Village so that nobody will suspect who he really is. It's not a real job; it's a cover. 

Rick: I will tell the database that Martin is Mr. Henchman's real name. If Masked Man finds out, he can expose Martin for who he really is. I'm the highest ranking hacker in the Hackers Networks System. 

Kevin: Martin, you should disconnect from your laptop; otherwise Masked Man can hear what we're saying through his alarm system. 

Martin: Yeah, we did disconnect when we got the information on Masked Man because there was a beeping sound that let us know someone was trying to tap into our laptops. He didn't have enough time to see what we were up to. We also sent the information though our network to expose Masked Man's real name. Masked Man and Morgana start talking. 

Masked Man: How did you two hackers discover my real name? I failed to take over this city for Jack Thomas so he have me to quit my job. Morgana, why didn't you delete all the clues to me being Charles? 

Morgana: Masked Man, I was keeping the information I had on you so these hackers could figure it out and expose you. 

Masked Man: Morgana, I paid the Police Department plenty of money to work for me. Is this the thanks I get? 

Morgana: Now, the Police Department can get back to doing police work the right way. I was working at the Police Department before I became your servant.

Kevin: Well, Masked Man, or Charles, to use your real name, it doesn't look like you're going to be taking over the city after all. For your sake, I hope your boss forgives you for failing. The rest of us are going to get on with our lives. Exit Kevin, Martin, Rick and Morgana, Masked Man stands alone on the stage, hangs his head, and sighs.
