*Familiar lady sat beside Ian*

Annabelle: its ok, you are safe now. Here, have some water. *Hands over water*

Ian: Oh no, I can stay no longer! Time is running out! I have to go!

Annabelle: *grabs Ian by the hand* you have to rest, Oliver. You are injured badly…

Ian: I’m sorry… I have to go… I cannot drag you into this! *walks away*

Annabelle: but wait…

Ian: Roger that, boss! *Ends conversation with boss*

*Enters building*

Ian: *Ask the nurse at the counter* Erm… excuse me? Is there anyone by the name of Slyvia James? I think she might be one the workers here.

*Ian looked around and made eye contact with Dr. James*
*Dr. James was afraid and trying to run away*
*In the end, she couldn’t escape and was caught by Ian to question her*
Ian: You must be Sylvia James. I’m sure you knew about Albert Steven Sparks.

Dr. James: *Stunt* *Eyes went big* I… I don’t know what you are talking about!

Ian: *convincing her* you knew it all along. You took Albert Sparks’, uh, no, I mean Michael Steven Sparks offer. I see?

Dr. James: *confused* I… I… I swore I would keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life!

Ian: Please tell me about it! If you tell me the truth, the culprit will surely be caught!!

Dr. James: I don’t wanna go to prison… I don’t want! Ahhhhh!!! *screamed loudly*

Ian: Please… A person’s life is at stake!! You have to tell me the truth!
Scene 6
*(Left side of stage) Conversation between Ian and Dr.James* *(Right side of stage) Flashback to where the incident takes place – Michael Steven Sparks murders his brother*
*Incident takes place in the Eagle Hospital ward number 8*

Narrator: Dr. Sylvia James couldn’t get over her guilt, and in the end she poured everything out to Ian Dominic. All along, Michael Steven Sparks (Evil Twin) had been very jealous of Albert Steven Sparks. Albert had everything. He had fame, power, money and love. He owns a huge diamond company and had a happy family. He wants all of it! He wants to take over everything!! They were once best brothers, like best friends…

Dr. James: One day, Albert Steven Sparks (Real) fell sick and was lying in bed. I was in charge of this patient. Each day, Michael Steven Sparks would come to visit him. I thought to myself, how blessed is Albert to have such a great brother who is always being there to look after him.

Ian: *nods his head and continues to listen*

Dr. James: Though I see how well they were together, but I noticed that day by day, Albert was getting weaker and weaker.

Ian: Was Michael behind all of these? Did the daughter know about this?

Dr. James: Albert didn’t want her daughter to be worried; so he told him that he was just going on a vacation for a few months. But one day, as I was passing by the ward, I saw Michael secretly injected…some kind of fluid or vaccine into his blood. I was terrified! He saw me…I told me not to tell anyone if not he will kill me! And then the next day, Albert Steven Sparks died due to a chronic disease.

Ian: Whaaat??!! How evil and heartless is he!!!

Dr. James: He threatened me to fake his death, telling that it was Michael Steven Sparks that had died. I was the one who did the paperwork… I had been keeping this secret for years! I was afraid that the ghost of Albert Steven Sparks would come and haunt me!!

Ian: So are you saying that Annabelle was not his own flesh and blood?! Ohmy…how could this happen… what if she knows the truth of her father…*slowly backs out and held his fist*

Dr. James: He gave me a huge sum of money to keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life. And now, because I couldn’t betray my conscience and guilt… I hope you will be able to protect the one you love. Go forth!

Ian: *sighs* I will! Thank you, Dr. James! I will surely capture this cruel and inhuman person and let him suffer!!

*Lights out* *Exits stage*

Michael: hahahaha…That Albert… my dear, dear brother… In the end, he died innocently without knowing a thing!! HAHAHAHAH!!! *Laugh crazily and went insane*

Ian: How could you?!!

*Annabelle busted into tears after hearing it*

Michael: Give me the diamond now or this will be your last chance seeing her!!! *Points the gun to her head*

Ian: Fine!!! Take your diamond and let her go!!!! *Slowly takes out diamond and then quickly throw to somewhere*

Michael: My diamond!! *shouted and ran towards it*
