Chapter 8

                                    

                                          
The flight to Paris wasn't too long. It took only around three hours. Now that three hours was gone, Ryder only had 45 hours left to find and save Chase. Ryder grabs his small luggage and starts making his way out of the plane. 
Though Ryder is busily trying to get to the Paris airport, he keeps an eye on everyone around him, spying for any suspicious behavior. 
Ryder gets to the airport where everyone must be checked before entering Paris.
After waiting on the line, it's finally Ryder's turn. A cop starts going through his pockets to check for any weapons. 
And sure enough, he finds the pistol and bullets that Ryder is carrying. The cop takes the pistol and bullets. "Young man, what is the purpose for this pistol?" he asks in a light French accent. 
"Sir, I assure and promise you that I'm not here to cause any distribution or chaos. I'm only here for one very important purpose and that is saving my German Shepherd. He was pup-napped like a week ago and from the evidence I have, he's in Paris over here.
I'm only carrying this pistol for if the pup-nappers try to harm me and I have to defend myself" Ryder explains. 
As Ryder spoke, he spies a man sitting on a chair and reading the newspaper. The man keeps looking Ryder and back at his newspaper, trying to make it look like he isn't looking at Ryder.
"Well young man.... "would you please stop calling me 'young man'. Do I look like a man to you?" Ryder asks. "Sorry, but I'm gonna make something clear to you. If you start causing chaos and using that pistol in the wrong way, you will locked up in prison" the cop sternly says. 
"I won't cause any chaos" Ryder says and then walks on. "And don't break any laws while trying to save your pup" the cop calls out. 
"Yeah sure, I won't break any laws" Ryder says. Ryder halts at a giant brown vase that contains some fake plants in it. He takes out his pup-pad and acts like he's doing something on it. But really he just wants to study more about the suspicious man who kept staring at him. 
Ryder turns his eye a little to see the man pull out his phone from his pocket. The man calls somebody and starts speaking in French.
Ryder immediately puts on the recorder on his pup-pad. When the man finishes on the call, Ryder saves the recording and puts his pup-pad back in his pocket.
He grabs his luggage and wheels it out of the airport. 
Ryder waits on the busy sidewalk infront of the airport for a cab. Soon he catches a cab and takes it to the hotel in which he's renting a hotel room in. 
The cab pulls over infront of a tall and fancy French hotel. Ryder pays the cab a few bucks and then gets out with his luggage. 
He walks through the automatic door and into a fancy long lobby. Ryder takes the elevator to the fifth floor and then walks down a long corridor. He makes a right turn and a few doors down is his hotel room. 
Ryder opens the door and walks inside. He takes off his leather jacket and hangs it on the coat-hanger. He goes to his bedroom and puts down his luggage. 
"I didn't except for something suspicious to happen the second I came to Paris" Ryder says, as he opens up his luggage.
Ryder takes out his laptop and puts it on the desk in the bedroom. He sits by the desk on a chair and turns on the laptop.
Then he takes out his pup-pad from his pocket and brings up the recording. 
Once the laptop turns on, Ryder video calls Francois. "I never thought Francois would come into use one day. And he just came into use on my most important and serious mission" Ryder says. 
"Hi Ryder, what makes you call me?" Francois asks in his strong French accent. 
"Hey Francois, I need your help with something" Ryder says. "How can I help?" Francois asks. "I'm gonna need you to be my translator on this mission. I'm gonna play this recording that is in French and I need you to translate each and every word clearly" Ryder explains. 
"Okay, I'm listening" Francois says. Ryder presses play and puts the pup-pad near the laptop. Francois listens carefully. 
When the recording is finished, Ryder looks at Francois and Francois starts translating.
