Chapter 6

Author's Notes: Okay, I'm writing this chapter from my college, so I might not have enough time to finish – I don't have any more classes, but still. I have about 2 ½ hours, so bear with me. I might type fast, but I have to think things through. (Edit: It's done! XD) Thanks to everyone for their support. I really appreciate it. Here we go…again, I don't know much about these places, so don't freak out on me if I get it wrong. Thanks!

Frank smiled, his eyes closed, as he reimagined what he and Lucille had done the night before. It wasn't a dream anymore. He had really done it! He purred blissfully and stroked the bare back of the woman leaning against him. She sighed peacefully and inched closer to him. Then, as if a timer had gone off, both of their eyes opened and they looked at each other.

"Hello, Frank. Is it morning already?" He looked to the window and then the clock. It read 7:14AM. "Yes, it's a little past seven. Should we get up?" She nodded, "We might as well." He nodded as they both got out of bed and went to the bags Frank had brought to put some new, fresh clothes on. Lucille smiled, "You have excellent taste, my dear. Where did you get these? And where did you get the money for it?"

Frank laughed sheepishly, "Your Aunt Carlotta helped with some of the money and told me a place I could go that had really great stuff. Did I do well in picking things out?" Lucille nodded as she twirled in her new white, purple, and blue outfit. "It's beautiful, and it fits so well. I'm guessing my aunt told you my size." Frank shook his head as he finished putting on his clothes, which were white, green, and blue, "I went to your room to figure that out. I didn't want to bug her anymore."

Lucille laughed like a bell in the silence. Frank smiled dreamily. Once they both were fully dressed, though Frank was still using his white mask, they headed down to the dining hall. The people smiled and waved as they recognized, based on the rumors, who the couple was. Frank and Lucille smiled and waved back. Once they took their seats, the waiter came to them and asked them what they would like.

Maynott was less than a block away from the Versailles Park. He had stopped along the way to get a glass of water for the trip and now, after a day, he was determined to get his revenge. Thankfully for him, he was not seen by anyone who cared. And those who did care didn't recognize him. He was sure that the police would be looking for him by now. But how would they find him? He had taken the brochure and had left Paris. The only way to find him was if his revenge scheme failed and Lucille and the flea turned him in.

He wouldn't let that happen!

Maynott took another swig of the drink and then smiled evilly. His plan may not have been perfect, but he was sure it wouldn't fail him. As he walked up to the gardens of Versailles Park, he saw something that immediately made him take a few steps back. Lucille and the flea were walking out, hand in hand, to the gardens. If Maynott was going to get the flea away from her, he had to do something. An idea sparked and he slipped away into the shadows to wait.

Lucille and Frank walked by Maynott without noticing. Frank, being a flea, could sometimes sense danger, but thankfully for Maynott, he didn't right now. Maybe it was because Maynott wasn't attacking now, no one knows. The sense just didn't go off as they passed the evil, arrogant former-commissioner.

Lucille smiled up at Frank as she took in the smell of flowers around them. Frank did the same – he was watching her and copying most of what she did. "Where should we go first?" She asked after a while. Frank smiled and brought out a second brochure of the gardens and park and pointed to the places he wanted to go, "How about we go here…here…and here!" Lucille smiled, "Perfect!"

The first place they went was a garden. After a while of walking through it like a maze, Lucille sighed, "I wish I could see it from higher up. I bet it's beautiful like that." Frank smiled, "I shall grant your wish." Taking her in his arms and ignoring her confused and slightly bewildered expression, he crouched and jumped as high as he could. Lucille had subconsciously closed her eye and let out a small scream.

"Look Lucille! It's beautiful!" Frank said in her ear. Lucille finally opened her eyes and looked down. "Wow…" She smiled as they began to descend back down to the ground. After a few high jumps, Lucille had gotten the full picture, "That was amazing. Where next?"

They went to see the different fountains and greenery. Frank could tell Lucille was having a great time by the constant smile on her face. These kinds of trips continued for the rest of the weekend and by the end, Lucille was reluctant to go back to Paris. "But why?" She whined as Frank began packing. Frank turned and gave her a sympathetic smile, "Because it was supposed to be a three day trip. I'm sorry, but now we have to go home."

Lucille sighed, "Very well…it was wonderful. Really!" She leaned up as he leaned down and gave him a passionate kiss. When the kiss ended, Lucille asked, "How much more time do we have?" Frank looked at the clock and then answered, "We have about an hour and a half." Lucille smiled, "Then can we have a little fun before we have to go…" Frank smiled. Now that he no longer needed blood, he just couldn't say no to her. "Very well..."

Maynott knew this was the flea and Lucille's last day in Versailles Park for he had heard the conversation between the couple. Now that it was coming to a close, he could put his plan into action. While they were away one time, he had found their room and climbed into their window, stolen something of Lucille's that was of importance – her favorite necklace – and snuck off with it to wait.

Lucille and Frank finished in less than an hour, so they packed up with ease and went outside. "Well this was a spectacular weekend. I hope we can do this again sometime." Frank could think of a time like that, based off what Lucille told him about humans and honeymoons. "Perhaps we will…" He said. Lucille laughed softly. "I hope so…" She reached up to stroke the necklace she usually wore and realized it wasn't there.

"Oh no, I think I left my favorite blue necklace in the room." She told Frank and was walked past him. "I'll be right back." What both of them didn't know was that she would not be right back. Lucille got the key back and ran to the room she and Frank had stayed in. When she opened the door, she felt the weird sensation that tells you that you are being watched. "Hello?" Lucille called around the room.

She saw a folded piece of paper on the bed. Once she unfolded it, she saw it read, "Look behind you." She gasped and turned to face Victor Maynott. "No…" She gasped as she took a step back. "How…?" Maynott laughed, "Oh, it was easy, my dear." He held up her necklace. "Looking for something?" She gasped angrily, "Give me that!" He shook his head and then ran at her, hit her, and knocked her out. Grabbing her unconscious form, he carefully walked out of the room and down the hall in the opposite direction of where Frank was. He exited through the back, but not before he was seen by one of the cooks from the kitchen.

The cook recognized the girl Maynott was carrying and ran to Frank immediately. Frank looked up when he heard the woman's panting, "Sir, the girl…you were with…she's been taken by…a man in a green suit. His head was in the…shape of a pear…and he was about six feet tall or so. Do you…know him?" As soon as the words 'pear' and 'head' used in the same sentence were uttered, Frank knew exactly who it was, "Maynott!"

The woman looked up as Frank said that. "Do you mean the former commissioner of Paris?" Frank nodded and turned to the driver who had arrived, "I have to save her! Please…take our bags to Paris and tell her Aunt Carlotta what has happened! Tell her we need backup and fast. Please get there as soon as you can!" The driver could see the urgency in his eyes and nodded, taking the bags and placing them in the back before going to the front and preparing to go.

By that time, Frank was already on the move, hopping as fast as he could to find Maynott…

End Comments: Sorry for the cliffhanger. This was what I was keeping from you about the upcoming stuff! Tee hee! I'm so cruel! I was originally going to write that Frank went in to get the necklace and Lucille was taken from outside, but this seemed better to me. You can tell me otherwise if you want! ;) Review please! I'll type faster if you do! :D Thanks for sticking with me! Also, sorry for uploading this twice. I forgot to fix something...so I needed to wait - also because it wouldn't let me reupload! :(
