Ch. 4 - Is this what you call a tour?

France places the screen down and sighs.
Those 12 were too suspicious.

He pushes the small device far away from him to the other side of the coffee table and leans back.
"France?"
He whips his head back over to his side where he had set a sleeping Britain on his shoulder. In truth, he might've placed a bit of sleeping potion into his tea but it was only because so far for the last 5 days or so, Britain hasn't been sleeping.

This was the only chance he could get. He wasn't going to pass this up.

"Hey-"
"Sir France."

France turned around and widened his eyes when he spots Uly standing there by the door. Wasn't she at the International Building? How did she get here so fast-
"I forgot to give this back to you. Noah teleported me so I can." Uly says and holds out the star clip he had showed her earlier.

"Oh, umm- of course." France flicked her wrist and the star clip flew over to him. He grabs it and holds it down to his lap "Thank you Uly."
Uly nods and hesitantly walks over "May I ask you a question Sir France?"
France tilted his head slightly "What might that be?"

Uly sits down on the seat besides him and straightens out her skirt "Well, if we were to hypothetically find these missing people, what would we get out of it?"
France chuckles softly "If you were to find Canada, America and Mexico than surly-"
Uly stands up "All of them are missing?" She asked.

France looks at her confusingly "Yes, I already told you this Uly." 
"No you didn't." Uly says back. She narrows her eyes "You never tell us anything."
"What do you mean?" France looks down at the star again. Uly was mad and he didn't understand why "I already told you all that needed to be said."
"Lies." Uly shot out "Don't lie to me, you know what you did."

"Uly, why don't you go with your friends now? You still have so much to discover about this world."
Uly steps closer to him. She kneels down and stares at his face. Her eye twitched slightly before in one swift move, she grabs the star back and swiftly turns around to walk away.

"Uly-! Wait hold on, Uly, give me the star!" France yells as he stands and rushes forward. The star clip was the last remaining item that truly reminded him of his son. He cannot lose it.

Uly turns her head slightly back to face him and tossed the star up above her head.

The star exploded.

"Wish we had a map for this place." Wyatt complained as they walked through one of the halls of the building. The entrance opened up easily for them to pass through.
They asked France if it was safe for them but he didn't respond. So they went ahead and went through with no light whatsoever.

"How are we supposed to see a map if it's so dark?" Mason said, squinting his eyes as he walked besides Wyatt "Did they figure out lightbulbs yet or are we in the 1700s?"
"Hey look I found a switch!" Cody suddenly says.

Next a small switch was heard and the light turns on. The hall they were walking in turned out to be eerily messy. Lots of papers were scattered around everywhere. One of them was stuck in the ceiling.
There were boxes also stacked up on one side of the wall. The box on the top was opened and it seemed that was where the papers came from.

"Great! Now we can see!" Mason says excitedly as he rubs his eyes.
"What's this?" Isabella kneeled down to pick up a paper the lights revealed to have fallen at her feet.

She takes a few silent moments to read what was on the paper. Willow leans over and peeks over her shoulders "So what is it?"
"Some type of letter about a new program they have. The" she moves the paper closer to her face and squints her eyes "Orbiting World 9 Project."
"This one's about a new program too." Aiden says as he picked up another paper "Better Environmental Project."
"Did you just say Environmental Project?" France's voice comes in.
"Yeah. There's a bunch of papers here too." Aiden says, looking around the hall.
"I think these are all projects." Alex says. She had walked over to the boxes and looked inside them.
