Can There Be Only One?

Chapter 31

I stopped inside the dojo to see a crew of cameramen and I wanted to hide in the corner and stay as far away as possible. I stopped and looked around when a woman walked up to me.

"We are not allowing guests to enter at this time, if you could please-"

"I am not a guest -well- I know the owner." She tried to put her hands on me and I grabbed one of them and another man walked over.

"You need to leave, miss."

"I don't have time for this, I need to speak with Duncan MacLeod." They looked around and I saw Duncan emerge from the crowd of cameramen.

"Maria, sorry about all of this. Go back to that, I can handle this," Duncan said and they went back to the film making, like he told them to.

"What the Hell is happening?"

"One of Charlie's students is doing a movie and... I somehow decided that it was a good idea to let him film here." I laughed and looked around at the dozens of people that crowded and talked. I sighed and looked back at him.

"What is the movie about?"

"Do you even need to ask?" He questioned and pointed at the actor, who began to do flips and tricks. I nodded and looked at him.

"I feel I have watched this movie before." We laughed and Charlie came over, with a fake knife in his stomach. I looked at the actor and he looked at him too.

"Maria, I think Jimmy wants you to be in the movie," Charlie said and I smirked, knowing that I was good looking, but not that good looking.

"To Hell with the big screen, my LIFE feels like a movie." Charlie and Duncan laughed when the actor came over.

"Hello, beautiful, I am Jimmy Sang," he said and kissed my hand.

"Maria Enache," I said, completely not interested in him or the movie he was making.

"I think you would make a great part in-"

"No, I am good. Take care," I said and headed up to the apartment upstairs where I pulled out on some different clothes since I wouldn't be able to workout today. I heard chaos downstairs and I heard a couple of screams. I didn't think much of it since it was a movie, but Duncan rushed up and so did Charlie. I turned around and they were a little concerned.

"Someone's dead," Duncan said and I rushed down. I stopped them from moving the body and everyone looked at me weird. I walked up and examined the body, knowing a thing or two about death. I looked back at Duncan and Charlie and put a sheet over him.

"He was poisoned," I said and some gasped and Duncan sighed. Jimmy sat down on the steps and he stared at me. I walked up to him and he looked up at me.

"You need to stop the production of this damn movie, now," I said and he stood up, getting in my face.

"You don't tell me what to do. I have no reason to-"

"Sit down, boy," I said and pushed him back down. He stared up at me and looked at Charlie and Duncan and scoffed, leaving the dojo. I shook my head and sat where he did, running my hands through my hair.

"What do we do?" I asked and Charlie and Duncan looked at each other and back at me.

"The exact same thing you just told Jimmy to do," Duncan said and I thought of something. I walked up to a cameraman and he looked at me.

"I need a script," I said and he nodded, handing me a packet of paper. I read through some of it and sighed, closing it after only a few short minutes of reading.
