My scene starts with the surprise reveal of the intent to murder the antagonist, followed by the shock of his beheading and then the suspense of escaping before the murder is discovered by his armed henchmen who surround the murder site.

Kay’s Level 2 Action Emotions
What I learned doing this assignment is this is a team & everyone has an important role.”
Surprise After using ju jit su on all the guards, the five enter the office of Mac Janssen. He expects them to attack him. Instead Larry says, “Sit down please Mac. We would like to talk.” After he sits, they take seats around the desk & began to talk softly. Rose, in Spanish, tells how they lost Juan to accidental fentanyl overdose. Lee talks about her niece who died from fentanyl. Maurice & DeVon quietly walk in circle around the group. Sounds began softly & the air in the room seems to change colors.
Shock. Suddenly Mac jerks his body around in the chair. He is experiencing severe mental reactions; like he is in a drugged mental state.
Suspense. The five wait silently now as they watch Mac contort both face & body.
