La Route de la tombe

Part 2

Chapter 2

Inside a hotel, a black-haired man and a blonde woman stood in a hotel room around a map they had lied on a drawer open to see the roads marked on the paper. 

"If we go here through the landscape here, instead of the main road, we will only take a day to reach the cave and grab us the book" The black-haired man pointed out on the map to the woman.

"Why don't we just follow the Seine and later, when we're near the forest we move up to the wood?" Suggested the blonde. "Wouldn't that be less complicated?"

"It would, but it will take longer for us to arrive there, if we take this road directly here, we will be quicker there"

"I'm not pretty good with directions, but it would be easier for us to follow the Seine. You remember last time you got us lost because you knew an excellent short curt, which in the end was the longest short curt to be called like that"

"Yeah okay, I admit it. I wasn't sure last time if we were going the right way, but I didn't want to look like a loser in front of you"

"I don't know, what was wrong on that time. It was only you and me. There wasn't anyone else, that could laugh at you"

"Yeah I know," Kim said scratching the back of his head.

"Come let's go to bed sleep, tomorrow will be a big day," The blonde said walking into a bathroom closing the door behind her.

"Good night Chloé," Kim said folding the map back, then walked across the room on the creaking wood floor to the bed, then sat down on the bed, placing the map down on the night table, next to a white, burning candlelight. Kim noted next to the night table a middle-sized box, which he picked up and brought to the other side of the room placing it on the drawer he had to unfold the map before. "Just in case you stay here," Kim said placing the box there, then walked back to the bed and lied down on it closing his eyes to fall asleep.

On the outside of the hotel, who lied in the city center between other houses Adrien showed up from the corner looking at the houses, then he recognized the hotel by looking at the sign it had hanging over the entrance.

"That must be their hotel," Adrien said to himself looking up at the three floors. Adrien gazed into the windows of the first floor to find out no one, lived there in this room. "Well now all I need to know is, how can I get a look into the other windows," Adrien said to himself looking around him to find only a couple of wine barrels standing in front of a wine producing building. Adrien smiled as he had an idea, then ran to that house and pushed a barrel down, then rolled it at the hotel, pulled it up with a bit of difficulty, due to the weight of the full barrel. Adrien jumped at the barrel to look at the window of the second floor to see the blonde woman Chloé looking into a black box, that stood on the drawer in the room, admiring a black ring she held in her hand.

"The ring of the black cat" Adrien said excitedly as he recognized the black ring. Chloé placed it back looking at the window to see nothing, but the view to the other building, then she shrugged her shoulders and got back into the bathroom. Adrien looked back into the room, then tried to open with his bare hands the window from the outside, but he couldn't cause it was locked up.

"Crap" Adrien replied then sat down on the cask to think of a solution to get the miraculouses. Adrien had an idea and took his sword off his sheath, held the point of the sword under the border, where the window is closed and he tried to open the window like that.

"This is useless" The blonde said, then in front of him a rope slid down in front of his face from up, then Adrien raised his eyebrow in surprise and looked up at the roof to see a red masked person on the roof, then he climbed with the rope down at Adrien landing on the top of the barrel next to Adrien.
