THE WIZARD- ACT 6

 SCENE 1

Nancy, France, Dr. Jacob's Office

In Doctor Jacob's lab, he had set up an apparatus that looks like a laser gun and a bunch of monkeys

Doctor Jacob: I was working on this technology for over two years now, and then I get a letter from you, that you want a demo, which is why I had to collect monkeys

Eadger: Won't you try it on humans? 

Doctor Jacob: You wish to volunteer, you are welcome! and if not, try not to ask such sweet silly questions

Charlie: Sweet, Silly Question! You got a competition eh Eadger!

Doctor Jacob: Now what you are about to experience might take away your vision, therefore you must wear these glasses for your own safety.

Charlie: And what about the monkey?

Doctor Jacob: This light works differently for their sight, for him it will just be sunlight. 

Charlie: (Whispers to Eadger) Don't tell me you thought this for real? Do you think Thomas used similar technology to control his age?

Eadger: Magic is filled with secrets Charles, you never know what all he is hiding from us, I research too much on his life, and suddenly this new brother pops up, which I don't think is real at all. We had our doubts about everything, except the Almira. We never even for once thought of examining it, and now we are here, to witness evolution. 

Doctor Jacob takes a monkey and makes him stand on a platform near the laser guns. On the count of five, Jacob prepares a laser shot at the monkey and then shoots, giving a bright white glow for a fraction of a second to everyone present there.

But the monkey had grown up only a few ages forwards

Eadger: That didn't seem to work!

Doctor Jacob: Wait for it, the results are slow, but very much significant

The team wears the glasses once more and another laser shot is given but this time after 10 seconds of countdown

And the monkey grows up to 10 years ahead of his age but feels injured

Charlie: Stop this! the monkey is getting injured!

Eadger: No, don't stop! make a final shot doctor, if Thomas can do this, we can do this!

Charlie: You are becoming insane Ed

Doctor Jacob: Alright Final shot,

A final shot is given after exactly 30 seconds of the countdown, and a huge glow of light falls into everyone's eye and the laser makes a shot.

The monkey grows up to 30 years ahead of its age but dies because of the radiation's effect. Meanwhile, everyone remains dumbstruck and Jacob is disappointed.

SCENE 2

Nancy, France, Outside Doctor Jacob's hut

Doctor Jacob: Your friend, he is a good man

Eadger: Why because he got scared? a feared man isn't a good man, there is a difference

Doctor Jacob: He is a good man because he has empathy, which neither of us had. Let him stand near the pond for a few hours, and then you can leave for your city.

Eadger: Do you believe in miracles doctor?

Doctor Jacob: Science doesn't believe in miracles Detective, but I personally do.

Eadger: Charlie's mother died due to pneumonia. On her last day, she prepared Charlie's favorite dish, but Charlie couldn't swallow it. His mother observed him from a distance, and Charlie knew it. He didn't want to see his mother leave his world without seeing him smile, for which he performed that miracle. He swallowed the food. 

Doctor Jacob: My wife and I separated, because I was alcoholic. After nine months she gave birth to my child. Never thought that my son will become a reason for me to quit all those habits. For me, he was a miracle. What about you Detective?

Eadger: You know why I became a detective. Because my father thought I was different and abnormal. My family couldn't accept this, I couldn't live with myself. But then I found a greater purpose, solving crime, and bringing justice. And then I met Charlie and found a real brother. Relations aren't made from blood, they are made here. My miracle is this life that I live, and I am its wizard. Charlie is my Wizard.

Doctor Jacob: This magician of yours, he is definitely using some old-school trick. I would try to solve this puzzle on my own sometime.

SCENE 3

On a train back to London

Eadger: I am done, I can't run anymore

Charlie: What do you mean?

Eadger: I will confront him tomorrow. In his own theater, I will tell him, how he performed this trick.

Charlie: So you figured it out?

Eadger: We both did, a long time ago, and we were making a mistake all this while.

Charlie: What is it?

Eadger: You will find out!

CHAPTER SIX: THE FLAMES

MAYOR'S OFFICE  Gryffin Scout smoked heavily looking out of the window at the moon. "What are my orders sir," said a cop in the room, "I want to meet JJ Warren, as quick as possible, things are getting insane, I can't take further risks, let's see what he has to offer me, contact him tomorrow morning," said Scout.  THE WAREHOUSE From the window at the roof of the warehouse, a can of fuel fell to the floor, after which a matchstick fell, raising flames in the entire space. Warren looked at the rising flames anxiously when he ran to a corner saving himself from the rising flames approaching him. "Why are you doing this?" Warren shouted in a rage, "I will kill you JJ Warren, I promise you, this will be your end, and I am honored to kill such a worthy opponent tonight!" said the echo. "Leave my friends alone, they are innocent, don't hurt them!" shouted Warren, "They will die before you, I assure you of that, and this w...

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE BULLETS-PART 1

  STATE HOSPITAL Gryffin Scout rushed with Marie and Spencer laid on a stretcher to an empty ward. The two had their eyes dim but they could partially see Gryffin tensely running. Marie and Spencer were admitted to a ward and were operated on for an hour. The doctor finally came out to tell Gryffin that the two were out of danger and needed intense rest. Gryffin took a sigh of relief when a cop entered the hospital's hall to tell Gryffin that JJ Warren's dead body has been found and identified. Gryffin got a slight shiver in his body feeling pity for Warren. The doctors said that he ruthlessly burnt in fire thus his analysis would not be possible, but it was sure, that he was tormented a lot before his death. Gryffin got chills on imagining himself in place of Warren, as all the potential danger was now on Gryffin's mind. A day passed and Spencer finally opened his eyes. Gryffin entered the ward to look at Spencer back to life when all he did was scream loudly and deny the ...
