Scene 1: Murder
(Dectective Lee is standing center stage, while a dead body lies on the floor. Lee walks around looking at various clues. Charles and Melody enter from stage left)
Charles-Have you figured anything out yet, Mr. Lee?
Lee-Give me time, sir. You are rushing me out pretty quickly. That does seem awfuly guilty.
Charles-Don't frame me dectective boy, I have customers waiting up in the lodge who have reserved seats! Can you clean up the body?
Lee-Don't worry, it doesn't even seem like murder. But I can't just clean the body up, give me time to investigate.
(Charles exits stage right)
Melody-Don't mind my husband, he's a bit...tight fisted. I am Melody, you can call me Mel. Is there anything I can help with.
Lee-Ma'am if you would please just give me some time with the body.
(Melody exits off stage right)
Lee-(yelling towards off stage)Yishmael! Where are you? Yishmael!!
(Yishmael enters stage left)
Yish-Yes sir?
Lee-Did you get the information on the body?
Yish-I did. The man's name is Isaac Weston, he comes here from the Bronks. It seems he had some heavy ties with the mafia. Autospy shows he was killed by overdose.(hands papers over to Lee)
Lee-So it seems. But it has to be a strange overdose. Yish, I want you to gather everyone that was here last night. I think we might have a murder on our hands.
