PARIS 3

It was day break , as well as a new day in Paris . Although they were staying quite far from the city itself , but they could still here the busy noise of vehicles' horns and the city buzzling.

Some minutes later , franklin and Vanessa decided to go out on a little shopping , few miles away from their residence .

In next to no time ... they were in Paris' main city. So while they were in a nearby mall picking some groceries , a man , should be around his early 30's , came by , stood close to the door of the mall and walked away in a suspicious way. Frank saw him and kept his cool.. some minutes later , frank said to Vanessa .

Franklin : Hey honey , I think we should leave .

Vanessa : why the sudden change in mood , and why would you want us to leave ? We barely just started shopping . There are still lots of things to pick . Why the sudden change of mind ?

Franklin : I saw some guy , came around stood at the door of the mall for some minutes , looking at our direction , and then I turned and I couldn't see the man again ... I don't feel ok here baby... I think we are being followed by God knows who .... well he certainly did not look like an FBI agent ....

Vanessa : I think we may need to call Tracy , tell her the status of things here ...

Franklin : yeah sure ... once we get the fuck out of here ....

So they took the little stuff they bought , payed cash and left the mall hurriedly and jumped into the car....

They turned back and noticed an ash van parked few spaces behind their vehicle ...

Franklin : Drive .... Steve Drive... Go , go , go ....

Steve moved the Chevrolet as fast as he could , and sped off to the town area where their hutlike house was stationed .

Surprisingly .. they turned back and didn't see the ash van tailing them...

Steve : I guess we lost them ....

Franklin : No no, Steve , you don't just loose a tail like that ... something is wrong ....

He picked his cell phone searched for Tracy's contact and made a call to her ...

A voice mail : this is Tracy please leave a message ...

Franklin: fuck ! Please Tracy if you get this message .. call me back ... I think we have a tail ... some kind of ash van ... ok ... we went for little shopping in some mall ... there was some guy who was keeping tabs on us .... soon I never saw the guy again... I had to take Vanessa out of the mall as fast as possible... Steve drove us home .....

And after saying that .. he kept the phone on the table and chilled.

Three hours later..

Back in Georgia ...

Special agent Kebby : goodmorning Sir

Assistant director of the FBI : Hello dear , you slept well ? How was your night?

Kebby : it was fine as always ....

Sir ... mm.. sorry to overemphasize on this.....

Think this through... Mr fisher said to us when interviewed , that he got to know franklin few months ago ... frank offered his services to him.

Assistant director of the FBI : what services? Would a guy like franklin render to the business mogul, Mr fisher ?

Kebby : Alright , I will give you the details of the whole thing...

Mr fisher does have estates which he just built and was looking for potential clients to rent the place .. Franklin volunteered to bring in people to take the apartments , which he gets thirteen percent of the money paid ... his first clients were some Chinese people , Mr and Mrs Chong Wang , who never stayed in the place for even a week , sources stated that the Chinese people in turn hired the guys with the black masks who we haven't possibly identified till now and are really good at what they do , and offer their services on the blackmarket....for a very cheap price ...

What I am yet to find out is why do they kidnap rich folks kids and collect huge sums of money for ransome? What's the play in this? Is it for the money? Or something..

Assistant director of the FBI : wow... that's a lot to take in ... but we have to keep digging .... maybe we might just stumble into the truth.....

Kebby: And then they get an intel from God knows who , that the black masked guys have been detected and that the FBI is all over their case checking every last detail about them .... and then they disappear to somewhere we don't Know .... and then also we go to franklin's house and asked him some questions , but the man said he saw nothing and that he had nothing to do with this whole stuff.. and three days after franklin's girlfriend is taken from school , by presumably the same guys that took that person in the van , the day they were in Mr Fisher's house .... and I begin to ask myself these questions .... what do Vanessa have to do with this ? And then I thought maybe it's just a coincidence ... just while my brains were deceiving me .... a week after , franklin and his girlfriend disappears ....

And that leads me to only one thought ....

Frank knows about all this ... in fact I would say , he is an accomplice to not only the men with the black masks , the Chinese couple and probably .... My instincts never lie ... I knew frank was Lieing to me, but just couldn't put my heads together and think , and more like ask him logical questions to ascertain the level of truth in whatever the hell he was saying....

Well .... He knew what was coming , that it will turn back on him.... So he disappeared for a while .

Assistant director of the FBI : Well ... Kebby, it's our job , let's keep digging on that case , look for new observations and we might just find out a better clue to this whole thing..

A knock on the door ....

Assistant director of the FBI : come in please....

Special agent Bernard Ross : Goodday Sir , just came to say hi ... and also I came to take Kebby out for lunch ..... yeah I know we're just partners but at least we could still do lunch together right?

Assistant director of the FBI : yeah why not? Please ... Kebby will join you in a moment .
