(Enter GREGG, ANGUS, TUNNEL TEENS and FISHERMAN JONES)
TUNNEL TEEN 2: Hey, look at those dorks! What are they doing down here?
TUNNEL TEEN 1: Shut up, Craig!
TUNNEL TEEN 3: Why should we listen to you George?
TUNNEL TEEN 1: Because I made this group!
TUNNEL TEEN 4: Let’s rob ‘em!
TUNNEL TEEN 5: Calm down!
(GREGG and ANGUS walk over to the TUNNEL TEENS)
GREGG: (Faking an accent) ‘Ello, Gregory Lee ‘ere… Private Detective, we’re here on behalf of the missing locals. We’d like to ask you a couple questions.
ANGUS: (Whispers in GREGG’s ear) You’re not a private detective… You’re not even a detective!
GREGG: (Whispering to ANGUS) They don’t know that!
TUNNEL TEEN 5: Are we in trouble?
TUNNEL TEEN 1: Man up, Jane!
ANGUS: No.
GREGG: Well… Not yet, we need to gather some evidence before we accuse anyone.
TUNNEL TEEN 3: Fire away.
(ANGUS’s phone buzzes with a text message. He shows it to GREGG)
GREGG: Do any of you know a person named Sadie?
TUNNEL TEEN 4: Yes actually, she used date my older brother when he was a junior.
ANGUS: What happened?
TUNNEL TEEN 4: Modern teen drama… She cheated on him and they broke up.
GREGG: Was your brother mad?
TUNNEL TEEN 2: Obviously he was mad!
GREGG: Do you think he’d want revenge on Sadie?
TUNNEL TEEN 4: I don’t know, probably…
ANGUS: What’s your brother’s name?
TUNNEL TEEN 4: Steve Rage.
GREGG: Have you seen him recently?
TUNNEL TEEN 5: We haven’t see Steve since his birthday last month. He said he was going out with a friend and he never came back.
GREGG: Thank you… We’ll be on our way now.
TUNNEL TEEN 3: Bye.
(GREGG and ANGUS walks over to FISHERMAN JONES)
FISHERMAN JONES: Hi…
GREGG: Hello, are you my mummy?
ANGUS: What???
FISHERMAN JONES: No…?
GREGG: Oh… Well… Are you Fisherman Jones?
FISHERMAN JONES: Yeah that’s me. Why?
GREGG: I was wondering if you caught any humans lately…
FISHERMAN JONES: No… I have not…
GREGG: (looking at all the people in the audience) Don't worry, I'll get one for you…
FISHERMAN JONES: Please don't….
GREGG: (points) How about that one? (Goes into the audience and starts talking with one of the people)
FISHERMAN JONES: Please come back….
ANGUS: Gregg!
(GREGG runs back onstage)
GREGG:Anyway…. I’m Gregory Lee, I’m here on behalf of the missing locals. This is my partner Angus Delaney.
ANGUS: Hello.
FISHERMAN JONES: Okay?…
GREGG: Do you know anything about Steve Rage or Sadie… Uhm…
(ANGUS rereads the message)
ANGUS: Jones… Sadie Jones…
FISHERMAN JONES: I’m sorry… D-Did you say Sadie Jones?
GREGG: Yeah. Why?
FISHERMAN JONES: She’s my daughter…
GREGG: Awkward…
ANGUS: Do you know anything about her boyfriend Steve Rage?
FISHERMAN JONES: Indeed… Bruce, my son… Was going to boarding school and he came back for Sadie’s last day of high school. She ran up to hug him and kissed his cheek. Her boyfriend seen this happen and accused her of cheating…
GREGG: (Reading the text) Bruce and his sister have been living behind the church… He says you abandoned him…
FISHERMAN JONES: I would never do such a thing! My fiance told me that they were going out for a treat… A few hours later my fiance came back home and the children were nowhere to be seen… That’s when I called off the wedding.
GREGG: Thank you for your help, Fisherman Jones.
FISHERMAN JONES: Pleasure.
ANGUS: One last question…
FISHERMAN JONES: Yes?
ANGUS: Do you know anything about a rat named Rabies? He was kidnapped today during the riot.
FISHERMAN JONES: All I know is that Rabies is the president of the drama club and the quarterback of the high school football team.
ANGUS: Thank you… Have a nice day.
FISHERMAN JONES: You too…
(GREGG and ANGUS walk off)
GREGG: So Rabies, Sadie and Steve have all gone missing. Sadie is nineteen so she’s technically still a teenager… I’m assuming Steve is around that age so he’s still a teenager… And Rabies is still in high school, which makes him a teen… Everyone that’s missing so far have been teens…
ANGUS: Why do you think that is?
GREGG: They must be an easy target… Whoever is kidnapping these kids is clearly into the easier bait… Besides that, we have to consider how their parents feel… Losing your child is heartbreaking… The kidnapper will probably be back for the older people after their weakened by the pain of loss….
ANGUS: That’s probably the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say.
GREGG: (Chuckles) Thanks.
ANGUS: You’re welcome… And besides that, you’re acting way more mature than usual. Besides when you jumped into that nasty water to catch a human…
GREGG: Well… When I’m just being myself I can be a little immature… But after I release Detective Gregory I turn into a whole different person…
ANGUS: Interesting… Now I wonder how you dropped out of college… After you turn into Detective Gregory… You’re the best student anyone can have.
GREGG: Honestly… I don’t know how I dropped out.
ANGUS: Strange…
GREGG: Anyway… Can we go get doughnuts and pizza?
ANGUS: No.
GREGG: Please?
ANGUS: No.
GREGG: Please???
ANGUS: No.
GREGG: Please!!!
ANGUS: No.
GREGG: Why?
ANGUS: Because their unhealthy...
GREGG: But the pizzeria combined forces with the doughnut shop! You can beat that! Now instead of Doughnut Wolf and Pizza Treehouse… We have Doughzza Trolf… House (Chuckles)
ANGUS: So?
GREGG: So…
(Music starts)
GREGG: (Singing) Take me to get some pizza, Angus. Take me now. Take me to get some pizza Angus. I gotta get there somehow. The pizzeria combined forces with the doughnut store. Who doesn’t love pizza doughnuts? Now that I think about it, I want them even more! Don’t deny me the thing I long for! Take me to get some pizza doughnuts. Angus, take me now. (Speaking) Please!
ANGUS: (Singing) Watching you beg for something so awful is quite cute. Think about it, a doughnut that tastes like pizza? I don’t think so! I won’t take you to get pizza, Gregg. It’s unhealthy and horrible. I don’t care that you need to get to the pizzeria somehow. I’m not taking you to get pizza doughnuts, not now!
ALL: (Singing) Take me to get some pizza doughnuts, please take me now! I’ve got to get to that land somehow! The pizzeria combined forces with the doughnut store! Now that I think about it, I want them even more!
GREGG: A Gregg filled with pizza and doughnuts is a happy Gregg! And I’m sure you want to make Gregg happy! Please take me Angus!
ANGUS: (Sighs) Fine…
GREGG: Yay! I’ll text the others and tell them to meet us there!
(Music Ends, Exit ALL)
