Please review, it would be greatly appreciated and would help to speed up the writing process, thank you.
It had been three months since the alpha-art incident; Tintin had fully recovered and continued his career as a reporter. After their last big adventure, the Captain stayed at Marlinspike hall to finally get some peace and quiet. In the last three months Tintin had only seen the Captain twice, both times where when the press needed to ask more questions. One month earlier Tintin went to visit the Captain, only to find out he had gone out in a hurry. Nestor said he would be back soon, and promised to notify him when he got back.
Nothing extremely eventful had happened in a while; the biggest thing he reported on recently was about an actor who was nominated for some award. As Tintin started typing about his interview with the actor, he couldn't help but be drawn to two recent events that happened two weeks with in each other. Two Days after the Captain left, a couple was murdered in London, a scientist and his wife. Three weeks later a professor died in a car accident, his brakes had failed. He had a feeling these two events where connected, but how?
There was a knock on his door, Snowy lifted his head and growled.
"Quiet Snowy…" whispered Tintin.
There was a knock again, this time quieter, like the person wasn't sure. Tintin slowly got up and opened the door. On the other side was a young girl, about two years younger than him, she had long blonde hair and eyes the color of the sea. She had a file in her arms, she held it close like someone would try and steal it from her.
"Mr. Tintin?" she asked.
"Yes…" he replied.
"I hear you're really good at finding people…I…I need your help…I can pay."
She pulled out five thousand dollars and held it out to him. He just stared at it a little shocked, thinking it over in his mind.
"Oh…do you need more than that?" she asked looking a little disappointed.
"No…hang on to it for a minute. Who are you looking for?" he asked.
He invited her in; she sat down and handed the first page from the file to him.
"I don't know this place Mr. Tintin, you see I'm from London, I just need to find this man then I'll be going." she stared at her hands.
"Why did you come to me?" Tintin asked.
"I heard about you in the papers, when I came here looking for this man, I found out you lived here as well. I asked around and the people told me where to find you, and said you'd be willing to help."
She looked up and stared at him "Where they wrong sir?"
Tintin chuckled it was strange for someone about his age to call him 'sir'.
"I'll help you…uh…"
"Oh how rude of me, not to introduce myself. My name is Melody."
