I ran down the dark alleyway and stopped when a car drove up. Police. Of Course. More policemen were sprinting up behind me. The car turned around and two back doors opened, revealing two dogs and two police officers. I ran over to the door on my left, and busted it in. I peeked inside. The coast was clear. I sprinted up the stairs in the middle of the room, followed by the guard dogs. I reached a long hallway. Both sides led to a window. I took the right path, and stopped at the window. I spun around, and jumped at the fact that the dogs were right on my tail. "This is going hurt!" I yelled. The dogs jumped at me, one ripping the straps on my backpack, and the other, sending me out the window. A conveniently placed dumpster broke my fall, and I landed on a bag. I climbed out, and glanced at the dogs. It had my backpack. "Damnit!" I said to it. I ran through the passageways through the doors, and vaulted over a stairway. I looked around. This looked like a safe area, but I needed to find a way out. A dog that was chained up against a wall sat on my right, and it immediately started barking when it saw me. A door further over with some bars on it looked like a way to go. But as I got closer a policeman came out. A quickly stepped back as he opened the door. I ran backwards to a bin that I climbed into and hid in. I couldn't see anything, just hearing footsteps.

The sounds went away soon after. I climbed on top of the bin and jumped up onto a catwalk. I remembered I'd had an amulet. "The Amulet of Power." I remembered. I grabbed it out of my pocket and examined it. It was a scarab with blue legs that stretched out, a bronze body with patterns on it, blue antennae and a red jewel in the middle. I put it back in my pocket, and pulled out a piece of paper. It was the one Werner had given me. On it, it said

Mme Carvier

105 Rue Alphonse

Bloodstains covered it. The rest was just mail that wasn't worth reading. Ahead of me was a ladder, and a door. "Hmm…shall I go straight on or climb the ladder?" I thought aloud. My thoughts were to climb the ladder. I climbed the ladder and reached a window and an air conditioning unit. "I'll see what's in here first." I said. I climbed into the window, and searched everything. Not much. Just some doubloons. I climbed back out and vaulted onto the air conditioner unit. I jumped up and grabbed another cat walk, where there was a long jump to a canopy. "This will be hard. But I can make it. I did a running jump to the canopy and I landed on my knees. I scraped them, but I didn't care at that moment. I continued across a wooden board and climbed up a pipe. I made it up to a platform, where there was a shed with a tap, a water tank, and a few barrels. I moved one barrel to get to a crowbar. I opened the shed, and grabbed an M-V9 from the cupboard inside. I exited the shed and climbed down back onto the ledge. This ledge was going to be a challenge. I jumped up and shimmied across. I stopped in the middle because my hands were getting sweaty. Suddenly my hand slipped off and I fell down onto a canopy. "Phew! That was close." I wiped my hand across my forehead. I jumped off the canopy, and headed towards the orange door. "Damnit! I'm not strong enough!" I ran down the stairs that spiralled down to a shop. Across the alleyway, there was some stairs and a passageway that led somewhere else.

"Suspect spotted!"

"Oh no…" I ran off in search of a place to hide.

"Perfect!" I ran up some steps and quickly unbarred the locked door. I ran and ducked behind a wall.

"This could be a useful hideout. I can stay out of sight for a while." I whispered. Behind the wall, two police guards were talking in French. I threw a stone to distract them, as I stealthily made my way to a door.

"Elle est la!" They said, as one came out, and arrested me.
