(Mr. Jackson is sitting on bench, then Mr. Henry enter)

  Mr. Jackson: What’s up, Henry? I don’t care you call me whenever, but why did you say come to the Georgia Aquarium? (said sarcastic)

  Mr. Henry: I don’t have a reason, but I just want to say something to you. (said weakly)

  Mr. Jackson: You don’t need to say that. I know what you will say. You already know I killed Mr. Gatsby, right? Also, I know Mr. Holmes is watching me somewhere. Come here. I don’t care if you arrest me. (said seriously)

  (Mr. Holmes comes from the other side slowly)

  Mr. Holmes: I got you, Mr. Jackson. You are arrested for Mr. Gatsby’s murder. (said plainly)

  Mr. Jackson: Yes, I killed Mr. Gatsby! (shouting)

  Mr. Henry: I never thought you killed somebody. You were such a good man! Why, why did you do that? (Said kind of angry or unbelievable)

  Mr. Jackson: (sigh) Mr. Gatsby killed my family when I was 8 years old. I got car accident and my family, mom, dad, and sister died except me. I swear to this picture. I will revenge! But, I couldn’t find who did that until I served to Mr. Gatsby. Accidentally, I found an evidence he killed my family. He robbed everything from my life, so I got his live as compensation. This is my revenge! (said confidently)

  Mr. Henry: I still cannot believe it. (Deception)

  Mr. Jackson: I’m glad you to believe me. We were good friend when we were in high school. But, I just wanted to make justice myself!

  Mr. Holmes: And I have to tell that another true in here is that now you are going to jail Mr. Jackson. (said seriously sarcastic)
