Mourn Ultimatum – A short play by eNVy

[Scene1: Dr. Mock is seriously typing away at the computer.  FBI Agent Mr.Crock arrives, sounding urgent - intense background music]

Crock: Jason Mourn is on the move. We intercepted his message. He has contacted someone in the Pentagon.

Mock: I’ll break into Pentagon and find out [opens a browser at this point]

Crock: It is secured by firewalls. How are you planning to break into it?

Mock: Google?

Crock: What the!??

[At this moment FBI agent Ms. Fright comes in hurriedly, looking pale]

Ms. Fright: Our satellites have tracked Mourn. He is eating Mc.Veg burger in India. I think he is out of cash.

Crock: How do you know?

Ms. Fright: It costs only 50 cents there and he is loving it.

Mock: I’ll hack into satellites and get his co-ordinates.

Crock: Good idea. How?

Mock: Google Earth?

Crock: It is outdated. I still cannot locate my house with it.

Mock: What? Where did you build a house? And When?

Crock: 2000. Baghdad.

Mock: Greedy bastard. No wonder it’s blown up and you cannot find it.

Ms. Fright: jeez! will you both give a break, put aside your conversation, and look into tracking Mourn?

Mock: er..Sorry. Here, Google Earth is opened. Where did you say last found him?

Ms. Fright: Forum Mall, Bangalore.

Mock: ah, silicon valley of India.

Crock: It’s no silicon city. Pam Anderson beats it hands down.

Mock: Dude, silicon is always packaged inside with security features covering it. Haven’t you heard of SLE78 chip Infineon manufactured?

Crock: Yeah… I know… I know…

Mock: Look!!, Mourn is on the move.

Crock: Get the vehicle details.

[few keyboard clicks heard]

Mock: Three wheeler, it says “hypothecated to “Canara Bank””?

Crock: What is the make?

Mock: Baa-yay?

Crock: that’s Ba-jaj ‘j’ sounds line ‘j’ in jam. It is auto-rickshaw. Where is he moving to?

Mock: Hold on. He is stuck in traffic jam.

Crock: Crap!

Crock: I’m hungry let us go and ‘grab’ some sandwiches.

Mock: Yup!

Ms. Fright: What about me?

Mock: Can we grab you? and no molestation charges?….
