Layton:
Professor Layton got out of the Laytonmobile and looked at the tall, dark, and mysterious tower-so like the one at St. Mystere-that had to be the lair of Don Paolo. It had to be Don Paolo's lair as nobody but Don Paolo himself could be so melodramatic.
Layton shook his head.
He marched straight up to the door, to take the direct approach. Layton advanced towards the door and knocked squarely upon it.
It was immediately opened by none other than Don Paolo.
"Ah, Layton. I have been expecting you." Paolo leered smugly.
"Where are they?" Professor Layton snapped "I'm not in the mood for games, Don Paolo."
"Someone is a bit tetchy today, eh Layton?" chuckled Don Paolo. Then a serious look spread across Don Paolo's face.
"Where is the money then, Layton?" he barked.
Professor Layton handed over the money, silently.
"What do you mean by this, Layton?" growled Don Paolo "I have taken good care of and not murdered either one of your two 'children', and you repay me with this insult!"
"What on earth are you talking about? Here is the money; the £100,000 that you requested!" protested Professor Layton.
"HA! HA! HA! I asked for £100,000 as the price for one child, Layton. I now have two children in my possession, so the price rises accordingly." barked Don Paolo.
"You want me to pay £200,000?!?" exclaimed the professor.
"Yes, Layton. You catch on quick." smirked Don Paolo "£200,000 by sunset, or else your 'children' get it!"
He shut the door in the Professor's face.
Layton turned around and walked lugubriously to the Laytonmobile.
