Hello, readers! Sorry for the delay! Today I bring you a new chapter of 'Tintin and The Moonlight Shadow'. Enjoy! (In this chapter, May narrates this story) This chapter's (maybe) full of suspense.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUU

"Tintin! Wait for me!" Captain Haddock cried.

We started asking around for clues and Mr Bohlwinkel's whereabouts. We were led to some train tracks by an elderly Arabian man.

The weather is beautiful today. The skies are blue, birds happily chirping a sweet melody, and I'm accompanying Tintin on his new adventure! This is like a dream!

Suddenly, I spotted a man who seemed to resemble the man that Tintin and Captain Haddock were observing back at the café on a passing train.

"Umm, Tintin, does that happen to be the man you were observing a little while ago?"

"Why yes, May! What in heaven's name is he doing up there on the train?" he said.

"I'm not sure Tintin." I replied.

Woah. I just realized that we were following the train into a rocky area near some caves. We were already really far from Bagghar. It was very difficult to get onto the roof of the train as it was very fast. Just as we were rushing to get the spy, the train passed through a tunnel. It was a long one.

"Crumbs! They're passing through a tunnel!" Tintin said.

He looked around the area for another way. I could see on the look of his face that this 'spy' is really important.

"Come on, guys! This way!" Tintin trailed away, leaving us behind.

We were now walking along the walls of the tunnel. Very dangerous.

"Tintin! Wait for a while!" cried Captain Haddock. He seemed tired.

"Sorry Captain! This is mu-.." we suddenly couldn't hear him.

"Tintin! Tintin! You alright?! This is no time to play tricks!" the Captain yelled.

"Wooaah!" Snowy barked.

"Let's go, Captain. He could still be there." I said to the Captain, calming him down.

When we were at the area that could be where Tintin stood last ( according to his footprints), Snowy found a piece of damp white cloth. He refused to sniff the cloth, which made me curious.

"Look, May! There were people other than Tintin!" Captain Haddock said to me.

"Footprints." I knelt down. "These are a size bigger than Tintin's. Here's another, Captain."

"Their footprints only started from those bushes. This could mean that they waited for Tintin." Captain Haddock gave a reply.

"Oh, and this cloth is damp with some chloroform." I said.

"Could this mean that Tintin is..." Captain Haddock didn't dare finish his sentence.

"Kidnapped. Good thinking, Captain." I replied to him.

"Wooaah! Woah!" barked Snowy. He was trying to point to the train.

"Oh no! We totally forgot about the spy, Captain! He's already gotten away!"

"Barnacles." The Captain muttered.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUU

"""TINTIN'S POV"""

I started to open up my eyes slowly. I was still a bit dazed and drowsy. Crumbs, I shouldn't have ran too fast and left the others behind. Somehow, I can't remember who I was chasing and why. I soon realized that I was tied to a chair. Tied with chains. My surroundings looked like a place I've been to before. Now I remember. A prison in Port Said. It has that typical prison feel. The room's only lighted by a single light bulb above me. I can still see a table with some papers on it, though. Oh, it's been two days since the chase. Ugh, I don't know why… My head hurts really, really bad.

I know I've been poisoned by chloroform, but this feels different… It seems to have a different effect. My head's dizzy, the effect's never been bad like this before. I remember a drug…

All of a sudden I hear three loud knocks on the door. The door flung open. At the door was a tall, stern-looking man. He looked like a corporate businessman. Of all the people I've met before, he looked the most, well, disciplined. He had some henchmen with him too.

"Ahh, Tintin! It's a pleasure meeting you! Sorry for the inconvenience." Said the man.

"Good day to you too. Who are you and what's the meaning of this?!" I asked him.

"Oh, I'm very sorry I haven't introduced myself yet, Mr Tintin. My name is Cyrus Archillian II. I brought you here to discuss on a few matters." Cyrus replied.

"Then why'd you chain me?"

"Tintin, the reason I did this is to prevent you from escaping, since you're very cunning."

I don't trust this man. I have a feeling that he has a big criminal organization behind him, and eliminate me forever.

"How did you and your henchmen know I was at the railway tunnel?"

"It was just a coincidence, my friend."

He was lying.

"Let's get to the point, shall we, Mr Tintin? You're a reporter from Le Petit Vingtieme. You've also been on many adventures and uncovered several crime schemes, haven't you?" Cyrus stated.

"Yes." I gave him a reply, Not understanding what he was saying.

"You've met people like Rastapopoulos, Doctor Muller, Allan, etc., right?"

"What do you know about these people?!" I replied to him.

"Ah, settle down, Tintin. Settle down. James, get me those documents." Cyrus said.

I don't what he has under his sleeves, but I must find a way out of here before it's too late.

"Here you go, Mr Tintin. Haven't you been up to date, my friend? See here." He showed me some newspaper articles of Le Soir. "'British Cops Uncover Mystery of the Burnt Village' where the cause is Doctor Muller, 'Troupe of Entertainers Actually Drug Smugglers' in which Rastapopoulos is the mastermind, 'Syldavia Under Attack' where Colonel Sponsz strikes. Where were you, Tintin?!"

"I-I was investigating another case!" I yelled.

"No! That's not an excuse, Tintin! You can't look into one case and then leave the rest in havoc!" he questioned me.

"Let me be! Who are you to judge my actions?!" I shouted back at him. I think this is the first time I've been really outraged.

"Hmmph. Some kind of hero you are, Tintin. I'll just leave you here. We'll be meeting again tomorrow, Mr Tintin. Goodbye, reporter of Le Petit Vingtième." He muttered. Before he left, he left a newspaper article on the floor.

It read: 'World-Famous Reporter Missing, Tintin Dissapeared Without A Trace.'

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUU

Finally I'm done with this chapter! Cyrus Archillian is my OC. He's a mysterious shady character. So sorry for posting this chapter quite late. Stay tuned for chapter 4!
