The adventures of Tintin, Malory and Snowy.

The Blue Lotus 2. (3)

Hukow.

No One POV:

The phone rang in Mitsuhirato's office and he hurried to pick it up, already knowing who it is.

"So, Chief Dawson, we have a deal? You'll send men after Tintin and Malory?" He asked.

"Yes Mr. Mitsuhirato, we have a deal. The special team has just arrived." The Chief of Police of the International Settlement of Shanghai, who was the other side of the phone replied before hanging up and looking over the special team, handing them a paper, "Your police pass, Gentlemen."

"Rotten job! Order to arrest friends." Thompson cursed a bit as he grabbed the pass and examined it, "Poor Tintin and Malory..."

Malory POV:

Tintin, Chang, Snowy and I were walking along a wooden pavement way in the mountain, making our way to-

"There it is!" Chang announced proudly as we stopped while he gestured at a small fortified town.

"So, that's Hukow..." Tintin said, impressed.

"Now all we need is to find the temple." I said as I looked down as well.

"To reach the old temple, we must go through the city." Chang explained to us as a while later, we were finally at the entrance to the town. 

No one can imagine my surprise when I heard roars of laughter in the town, making us stop for a moment in confusion.

"Is there a circus around?" I wondered out loud as we started making our way in.

And no one can imagine my ultimate shock when I saw why the town's people were laughing and how hard I started fighting to stop myself from laughing along.

"Don't look now, Thompson, but I think we've been spotted!" Thomson whispered to Thompson.

"NO! Really? What could've possibly given them away?" I whispered to Tintin as I looked at their 'so stereotype clothes it hurts' and Tintin, who muffled his laugh with Chang and I before signing me to be quiet, walked towards the detectives.

"Thomson and Thompson!" Tintin called them.

"Tintin? Malory?" They exclaimed as if they're surprised to see us before looking away from us and handing Tintin a paper, which he took, "Oh dear!"

"What's this?" He asked as I pulled the paper gently to see as well but it was in Chinese and I couldn't understand.

"An order for your arrests." Thompson explained before hands grabbed the ones Tintin and I had on the paper.

"Hey!" Tintin and I shouted in process when Thompson handcuffed him to himself while Thomson handcuffed me to him.

"For kidnapping Prof. Fang!" Thompson finished explaining.

"What?" Tintin asked in disbelief as he handed the paper to Chang, who read it.

"That's what it says, Tintin." Chang said.

"Since when does 'Coming all the way here from Shanghai to save his threaten life' count as 'kidnapping'?" I asked in protest but the detectives already pulled us towards the police station.

No One POV:

The policeman looked at the four people in front of him after hearing the detectives' story.

"And? You have a warrant?" He asked.

Thomson dug into his pocket and looked for it but as I could tell, couldn't find it.

"I-I eh... eh, I eh... I must have dropped it!" He exclaimed and Malory gasped in surprise when he started running, pulling her after him.
