Connie glistens in the sun. Her smooth, black complexion gleams with a fiery passion. She and Ace are on the roof.
Ace grabs a hold of her, holding her steady over the edge. She would've been frightened if she hadn't done this before. Ace closes one eye, scanning the horizon below.
Suddenly, a shot rings out. Ace quickly shoves Connie back in a briefcase and races back down the stairway into the busy lobby below.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ace opens the briefcase again. Time to clean Connie. Connie was a great sniper rifle, capable of both long range kills. Today, she nailed a mime right between the eyes. She was proud of her accomplishment.
Every detective in the city was after the Acemaster. Named for his superior skills in sniping, he was hunted for several murders that were seemingly random. This one was just a simple mime, but who would the next one be?
Connie was shelved for the time being. This next mission called for Bruce.
Bruce was a trusty six-shooter, easily concealed for murders like the next one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
With Bruce in his coat, Ace walked into the theater. Romeo and Juliet was just starting. At least 5,000 people had come to see it, but Ace wasn't there for fun.
Act 2: Juliet is about to die. Literally. She is about to kill herself in the play when a shot rings out in the theater. Like slow motion, Juliet slowly collapses to the floor. Chaos and pandemonium is on the scene. People stampede to the door, allowing Ace an easy escape with them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bruce is cleaned from his latest mission, and Ace is done for the day. While detectives try to figure these out by finding close friends and relatives, Ace will be gearing up for his next mission.
Can you catch him?
