Paisley Valentine... Her mother's number. If I can call Mrs. Valentine then I may get something of an answer to where Paisley's gone. To my initial surprise, Mrs. Valetine immediately invites us in and asks if we want anything to drink.
"Water is fine, Mrs. Valentine"
"Oh call me Susan" she insisted. Jake takes a sip of his orange juice and Kyle is walking around looking at Paisley's family photos.
"Susan, I was wondering if Paisley called you recently..."
She goes stone pale as if the air had sucked clean out of the room. "Susan?" Jake pleads.
"Oh, she did... 2 years ago-said she was moving to somewhere in Paris for a job...I didn't know what to believe... 4 months ago another postcard came but no call, ... I do hope my Paisley is okay-"
"Susan, she'll be fine. We will find her!" I reassure her, "thank you for the information"
"So she didn't call after... That's where the"
"Trail goes cold" Jake and Kyle finish the sentence for me. In two weeks we have to go find Paisley in... Paris? Damn it. Job offer. If I ask around I may- Jake shakes me out of my thought process... I don't realize I'm being held though until I look behind me.
"Can you let go, Jake?"
He let me go and says, "So no thank you to the person who saved your life?" he sarcastically lets out.
The plane is long to give me a bad feeling. I'm in one of the bathrooms washing out my guts. Ugh.
"What happened? I thought psycho caught you and dragged you away"
"Jake!"
Rest of the Paris cab to a hotel, he was in tease mode. After the quick check-in at the hotel, we begin to search for Paisley hoping to get some answers. "Hey" Kyle's comes through the two-way call.
When I tell him I'm not understanding what these people keep telling me, "didn't you take French during high school?"
"Yeah and no" I reply. The heaviness of that is still clear; I did take French but didn't think it'd be useful in the future. "I didn't think I need to use it"
Great going me. I glance back and see Jake posing for French girls. They are going nuts. Is he this charming? Ignoring that, "Jake! You understand French right?" I call out. He nods and comes over.
