Episode 8: Mr. Jones Takes Control
Several Days Later.
Detective Westfield:
Well Jones, I think you can feel quite proud of yourself.
The arrest made the front page of the New York Tribune.
Jones: What's going
to happen to Mr. Evil?
Westfield: The Judge
has promised us a speedy trial. In all likelihood there will
be some last minute plea bargaining - and then it's off to
jail for Mr. Evil.
Jones: How long will
he be in jail?
Westfield: He'll
receive a minimum one-year sentence - that's mandatory. Of
course there is always the possibility of an early parole,
but I wouldn't count on it if I were him.
Jones: Knowing Mr.
Evil he will find a way to beat the system.
Westfield: Fortunately
the case against him is pretty compelling - thanks to your
good work.
Jones: Oh, I really
didn't do that much.
Westfield: That's
not true, Jones. We have been treading water on this case
for over 18 months for lack of any concrete evidence. Without
your help Mr. Evil would still be a free man. In fact, I'm
here to extend you a very special invitation to meet personally
with Mr. Brady, the Regional Director of the FBI. He has a
little proposal that I think may interest you.
Jones: No more spy
missions I hope.
Westfield: No, nothing
like that. I'll have a driver pick you up at 7:00 p.m.
Jones: Don't you
mean 1900 hours.
Westfield: Yeah,
that's right Jones. You better be careful - Mr. Brady may
mistake you for a veteran and send you out on assignment.
Jones: See you at
7:00.
Later that evening.
Brady: Jones, on
behalf of the FBI I would like to personally thank you for
what you have done. Of course I realize that we can never
truly repay you for your service here, but as recognition
for your accomplishment the Bureau would like to appoint you
as acting President of Acme Enterprises.
Jones: You mean take
Mr. Evil's spot? Run the company? Me??
Brady: It will be
a temporary thing Jones. We need someone in there who we can
trust. It is likely that we will need continuous access to
the company's systems and files while we are building our
case against Evil. What do you say Jones?
Jones: But I don't
know anything about running such a large organization.
Brady: Relax, Jones.
There is a strong management team in place at Acme. What we
are asking is that you just try to keep things on an even
keel - status quo. If there are any major problems we will
arrange for an outside consulting firm to come in and help
out. So do we have a deal, Jones?
Jones: Will there
be a raise involved?
Brady: Unfortunately
Jones we are not within our legal rights to offer you any
additional remuneration. But think of the experience it will
give you.
Jones: Yes, I think
I've heard this story before
Brady: I don't follow
you Jones.
Jones: Oh never mind,
it's not important. So when do I start?
Brady: I don't see
why we couldn't make the announcement to the other employees
first thing in the morning. Congratulations Jones. You are
going to do just fine.
Jones: I sure hope
so.
