Chapter 2: The Unusual Patrol
The Sun set on Paris is a magnificent view and night fall is when the city at it glory. Paris is well known for being the city with the most eye-catching scenery, the highly detailed and glorious Arc De Triomphe glowing in the dark is sure to catch your eye, the ancient Notre-Dame de Paris standing tall and proud and who can forget the famous and magnificent Eiffel Tower the symbol of Paris standing tall above everything and illuminating the whole sky of Paris.
We can come across the humble officers patrolling through the night keeping people save they work relentlessly and always put the civilian above them all. As below so above, we could see the figure of the city most trusted heroes Ladybug and Chat Noir rushing through the sky come to the peoples that in need.
Today is just like the another patrol, Ladybug and Chat Noir stand on the top of the Eiffel Tower and glazing upon their city, hoping tonight could be a peaceful night without any troubles. They both are very tired from the fight that they just have and really want to go home to get some rest but the patrol won't finish itselves, Chat started to talk.
"Tonight is quite peaceful right? MI 'lady" Chat asked.
"Yeah, I never really notice how great our city looks in the night" Ladybug sighed and talked "It's quite relaxing to stand here and watch the city".
"I always enjoy the view of Paris; I rarely see our city this peaceful without any one being akumatized" Chat continues in a soft voice.
Ladybug started to notice Chat is a little tired and more quiet than usual.
"It's odd for you to be this quite, what the matter Kitty?" Ladybug asked in a curious voice.
"It's nothing MI 'lady, I just felt like I don't have anything to talked about" Chat talked in a denying voice.
"Come on Chat, I know there is something. You clearly have something to talked about, we have been partner for a long time you can talk with me" Ladybug said in a comfort voice.
"Huh" Chat sighed "Well I just have a rough day as school and I still feel tired after that"
"You asked me, you look tired and drowsy as well" Chat continue.
"Well seem like we are on the same pages, I'm surprised that there isn't any person being in any troubles yet" Ladybug reply.
And as she finished her sentence, alert sounded from a nearby jewelry stores not too far away.
"And I spoke to soon" Ladybug said in a sarcastic voice.
They quickly rushed to the alarm and catch the sigh of a burglar robbing and rushing to escape from the police, they quickly pursuing the burglar to a nearby alley. He quickly throws the bag fill with jewel to the side and run on the other way.
"I will follow him" Chat said in a rush and dashed to the other road.
"Be careful, Chat" Ladybug shout back.
Ladybug quickly grab the bag and just right on time for the polices to come, Ladybug return the bag to the police and quickly follow Chat. She jumped on the nearby building and find her way to Chat.
But when she come to Chat she wasn't expected to see Chat standing still and immobile, she rushed in to see if he is fine or not.
"Hey, are you ok Chat?" Ladybug shout out to him. Chat doesn't respond, confusion and frightening can clearly be seen from his face he continues to stay motionless.
"What the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Ladybug try to be funny.
Chat slowly pointing his finger to the alley.
"Are… you seeing what I see?" Chat shutter and try to make a full sentence.
Ladybug slowly look to where he pointed, she screams and immediately cover her eyes. In front of her is the burglar that they have been chased, he is shivering and one special 'features' is his clothes being tear apart all but the trouser.
"WHAAT ON EARTH DID YOU DO?!" Ladybug shout out in a loud and confused voice. It's like she is going to make every one awake "DID YOU STRIPPED HIM ?"
"NO, it wasn't me" Chat shout back, innocent can clearly be sense from his voice "And I'm not talking about him, look at the wall"
"What the?" Ladybug ask herself.
They are confused and mesmerize by the highly detail and the grand scale of flawless symbol newly sculpted on the wall.
"What is that? I haven't seen anything like it before" Ladybug confused and closed in putting her hand on the wall "This is hand sculpted, the curved is perfect and it's looked like it been carved by a blade and there are a lot of clothes being cut around the burglar, I assume it's been done by the same person".
"Who could do this, this quick?" Chat asked "I just come to this alley 10 seconds behind him, how could someone cut his clothes off and still have the time to carved this symbol"
"But this resemble a flower right?" Ladybug said
"No MI 'lady, it's a rose" Chat reply "It's usually a symbol of love but I couldn't see any love here"
"Do you have any ideas how long it will take us to carve this symbol?" Chat ask
"Even with the two of us, to get to this level of skills it will take ages" Ladybug reply "Ok we should get back to the case, let bring him to the police"
They started to tight the burglar and started to head to the police department, before they go Ladybug take a picture of the sculpted. She clearly could sense some familiar feeling when seeing this sculpted.
When they arrived, two other people clearly are burglar had been arrested. And officer come out and greet them.
"Another one?" The officer said in confused voice.
Ladybug and Chat Noir both glance at each other, they confused and curious to what had happen when they were gone.
"What do you mean?" Chat asked the officer.
"I mean this is the 3rd case of tonight, two other case happen at the same time that you two were on the pursuit. One case that happens in the Westside of the city and the second case happen at the Eastside of the city, both of them are about 2km from here" The officer explained "I don't know what they are up to but try to break in a jewel store with only 1 person and without any transportation is very reckless".
"But anyway I believe that will be the last case of this evening, once again thank you for your help. He would have escaped without the help of you two".
"It's our duty too, officer" Ladybug said "Well if it's the last case of this night, we will head home now"
"*Yawn* Yeah, let's get home and have some rest MI 'lady" Chat reply in a tired voice.
"Ok, I will see you around" The officer said.
"Goodbye" they both reply.
They both jump to the top of the building and heading their way. To have a rest that they deserve.
"See you the next night, MI 'lady" Chat said.
"You too, Kitty" Ladybug smile and reply.
They both head home and take deep sleep. But they didn't know that the cases haven't over yet, at the bank the burglar real plan is to make a diversion to caught the attract of the police while they take this advantage to breaking into the bank and take the monkey. Fortunately, they don't have to worry about this tonight.
