To Murder Or Not To Murder (1) DRAFT

Chapter 18

I jumped down the stairs of the plane and looked around me. The weather was warm bit not warm like I would've liked. We walked into the airport and cleared our luggage before heading out to find ourselves in Paris.

"Wow, I've never been to Paris, it's so amazing." Dr jones mumbled. I nodded in agreement looking around.

"So what do you guys think of that French girl on the plane?" Jaz asked as we walked through the streets of Paris. "She reminds me of someone but I can't quite put my finger on who." I replied. "She does doesn't she? but who?" Dr jones asked. "Amy. She looks like her. Her eyes are like Amy's and her hair could easily be dyed." I said. Jaz nodded. "accents aren't hard to disguise so there is a possibility." "I think we should watch out for her." I muttered. "I mean since when have we ever been able to trust her? what side is she on? she helps us then she helps Gary, tips us off and continues to help Gary."

"She's not helping us." We turned around to see Vira with two other girls standing a few metres away. "The girl ain't helpin' us as far as we know. She parachuted out of the plane or somethin'. Accordin' to the captain." A girl standing with Vira said. She had a thick American accent. Vira nodded. "We figured she was with you and came to find you to ask what's her deal." "We want to know that as well. She changes sides 24/7. I'm surprised she doesn't say with Gary, he's her brother after all." Jaz explained. "Their family history is a little, how do you put it, rocky. There's been a lot of different arguments so it changes a lot about how they are towards each other." Vira explained. "We had no idea. She never told us anything about herself." Dr jones said. "So she should. She has intended to keep her identity as secret as she can and has done nothing but that maki got impossible to track her. God she's smart." I said realising how smart she'd been about it. Vira nodded. "Let's go." She muttered to the others and walked off. I glanced at Jaz and dr jones and nodded. We ran as fast as we could to the nearest bus stop. We waited a few minutes and jumped onto the bus.

When we were as close to the Eiffel Tower as possible, we jumped off the bus and ran towards the Eiffel Tower to learn that it was quite the climb. "I knew it was high but..." Dr jones said taking a few steps backwards. "Oh no you don't. You want to be a detective, the. You need to conquer fears. Like heights." I said. "But..." dr jones said with fear all over her face. "I know it's scary conquering fears. I was scared of gunfights. We both were. But we got over that fear and are now quite used to them. Heights are the same." Jaz explained. It was true. I was terrified of gunfights because I knew one mistake could cost so much more then you think. "Yeah I... I know that. I just..." dr jones said trailing off. "You can do it. You went to the top of Big Ben didn't you?" I asked. "Yeah but..." she began. "But what? it's no different." Jaz said. Dr jones sighed and gave up. "Now let's go before Amy gets there." I said. We ran to the base of the Eiffel Tower. Dr jones went really pale as she stared up at the height of the tower we were to climb supposedly.

"There's no way we are going to make it up there." I said. "Excuse me?" Jaz said to the nearest person. "Yes." "would you by Amy chance know where to find a helicopter?" dr jones and I didn't react. "Yeah, there." The person pointed to a helicopter flying training facility. When the person walked off, dr jones and I stared at her. "A helicopter, really?" I asked staring and smiling at her. "Yeah. Really." Jaz said. "But they aren't going to give us a helicopter." Dr jones said. "Who said we were asking?" I asked dr jones. I turned to Jaz. "Can you Hotwire a helicopter?" jaz shrugged. "Let's find out." She muttered.

At our arrival at HTF (helicopter training facility), we had to sneak around weaving in and out of the helicopters trying to find a more then two person helicopter.

"Over here." Dr jones said just loud enough for us to hear. We climbed into the helicopter when the coast was clear. Dr jones jumped into the back while Jaz and I climbed into the front, Jaz in the drivers seat.

"Now we are going to find out if you can Hotwire a helicopter." I muttered. "It's probably like hot wiring cars but yet completely different." Jaz said laughing. "You know how to Hotwire cars?" dr jones asked leaning into the front seats. "Yeah." Jaz and I said simultaneously. "That's not normal." She muttered. "Who said we are normal? normal is normal and normal is boring." I said. "Agreed." Jaz said nodding. "Wow ok then." Dr jones

Said sitting back. She put her seatbelt on as Jaz and I began to fiddle around with some wires to get the chopper going.

When we heard it making the chopping noise helicopters do, we sat up and put our own seat belts on.

We were about to take off when I realised something. Well two things actually. "Guys I jest realised two things. 1) we don't know how to fly and 2) how can we get into the Eiffel Tower if we are flying? only two of us can go."

I explained. "I'll fly. It can't be that hard and I'll stay behind and have the chopper ready when we need to go." Dr jones suggested. I glanced at Jaz who nodded. "Sounds good."

Jaz and I piled into the backseat while dr jones was in the front and flying us up into the air. Jaz and I were literally clutching the seats as we flew higher and higher. We looked out the window to see people screaming at us from the training facility.

We flew higher and higher until we could see the Eiffel Tower. We then flew towards the point of the Eiffel Tower.

"What's that inside?" Jaz asked when we were up close.

"It's. Amy! she got there fast." I said.

"Let's jump. We'll make it." Jaz muttered pointing to the landing spot. We got as close as we could and opened a door.

"Ok, are you ready?" Jaz asked me as she shuffled over to the door. I nodded. Jaz jumped into the Eiffel Tower landing on to a platform. She dive rolled to cushion the landing. She gave me a thumbs up to show it was an easy jump. Watching Jaz do it showed me how to. I copied exactly what she did and landed perfectly. Dr jones waved and flew the helicopter away from the Eiffel Tower.

Looking around us we could see were in the highest point of the tower. "Where's the clue?" I asked looking around. "Here." Jaz said and picked up a piece of paper. "'I left the clue in the small box hanging under the platform where only you can find it. Maddy and Jaz please find the clue, you can't let Gary find it.'" Jaz read the note aloud. "Amy's been here already. We better hurry."
