Michael L Daniels
This is a wonderful, original and contemporary story of American youth and their struggle to learn, grow and to survive in a world dominated by organized crime, ethnic hate, pain, suffering and murder. As the events unfold the heroes and heroines of this story are caught up in a fantastic mind-boggling adventure filled with lightening fast action, state of the art and futuristic weaponry, suspense, and a plot of international intrigue that would cause the legendary James Bond to pale.
Michael L. Daniels is a talented contemporary playwright expertly writing about a shadowy environment seldom seen by light of day. The author’s manuscript confronts and skillfully unravels a social challenge few writers would ever attempt and ingeniously leave it open for a sequel.

Rex just smiles.
NATE

BETH

NATE
Give me the notes Beth.You have a beautiful family;It would be a shame if something were to happen to them.
BETH
I’ve destroyed them.
REX
Correction,she was just about to destroy them but I switched them.
BETH
(looks at Rex in disbelief)You bastard!How could you do this to your own family?
NATE
(Adressing Rex)Why did you have me go through all this trouble if you already had the notes?
REX
I wanted to see the look that Beth is giving me right now.How does it feel to be betrayed Beth?
BETH
I never did anything to you Rex why are you doing this?
Two of Nate’s men grabbed Beth.The other guys grabbed the boys and locked them up in one of the cars.
BETH
Do you know how bad this would hurt Max to find out what your doing?
REX
Money rules the world Beth,I thought you knew that?After all wasn’t it you who invented the formula for money?
BETH
Well all the money in the world won’t make those papers you have the real formula notes.
REX
(Half smile)You’re kidding right?How did you make the switch?
