“Yeah, the first scene has Vin and two dogs in it,” said Bruce, remembering what he’d read. “I wonder where the other one is.”

The Ringmaster appeared and took his place in the center of the fake circus tent, a sinister smile on his face.

After a moment, he clapped his hands. “Positions, everyone! We’ll film the first scene shortly. But first, I have an announcement. Today, we have a special guest joining us.”

Suddenly, a dozen or so men dressed in black suits and sunglasses marched into the room. Doris barked, but the Ringmaster raised a hand. “Please don’t be alarmed, Doris. The security is completely necessary. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I give you the President of the United States of America, and his dog Chip O’Lata, who will be starring in this film.”

The circus goons applauded as the president strolled into the room carrying Chip. “Thank you all so much for this. Chip’s always wanted to act. This means a lot to him.”

“It is our pleasure entirely, Mr. President,” replied the Ringmaster.

“And thanks to you, Honor, for helping Chip with his acting this morning,” added the president.

“You’re quite welcome, Mr. P— I mean Jim.” Honor smiled. “I’m sure he’ll be great in the scene.”

“And Mr. Pain. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” the president said. “I’m a huge fan.”

“Thank you, Mr. President,” said Vin, shaking his hand.

“Very good,” cried the Ringmaster. “We have our actors, we have our crew. We have the president and his excellent security men. It seems that the scene is set. Let’s make movie history. Lights!”

Suddenly, the lights went out.

Cries of, “What’s going on?” and, “Hey, if this is a joke, it ain’t funny,” filled the studio, followed by the THUD THUD THUD of bodies falling to the ground.

When the lights came back on, all the security men were lying unconscious on the floor, and the president was being held by Sheffield and Grimsby, his hands tied behind his back.

“What’s the meaning of this?” he demanded.

“Oh, it’s quite simple,” said the Ringmaster with a menacing grin. “Kidnap and ransom, Mr. President. Kidnap and ransom.”
