Rinrin In Trouble Part 3
"You got it, Tom!" Henry said.
After everyone else was up and in the Chan van, Suzie had a memory as they continued to look for Rinrin in the city.
Within Suzie's memory, the Chan family continued to look for Alan.
"Pop's right you guys," Henry told Flip, Nancy, Mimi, and Scooter sternly. "we are only here to figure out what is going on with our dearest brother."
Charlie went off on his own while his nine remaining Chan children split into three separate groups of three in order to search for Alan.
In one of the trailers, the lion tamer, 23-year-old Candace Chan or as she was called by her boss, Mr. Zambini, Candace the Courageous was fast asleep when she heard a crash coming from outside.
"Mr. Zambini," Candace asked now feeling scared. "is that you?"
Candace raced out of her trailer to find three of her cousins, Henry, Stanley, and Nancy standing outside.
"Cousin Can!" Henry, Stanley, and Nancy exclaimed in unison.
"Henry, Stanley, and Nancy," Candace asked. "what are you doing here?"
"We are looking for Alan." Stanley answered Candace.
"He led us here." Henry told Candace urgently.
"Have you seen him, Candy?" Nancy asked.
"Sadly, no," Candace answered Nancy. "I haven't."
Over in the costume tent, Suzie, Anne, and Mimi were searching for clues.
"Did you find anything?" Suzie asked Anne.
"Not a thing," Anne answered Suzie. "what about you, Mimi?"
"What do you mean?" Mimi asked Anne.
"Did you find anything?" Anne asked Mimi.
"Sadly, no, I didn't find anything." Mimi answered Anne.
Suddenly, Anne saw someone in a male's leotard, tights, and acrobat shoes.
Anne then noticed that the boy dropped his rose-tinted sunglasses.
Anne ran over to the spot where the sunglasses had been dropped.
"Alan?" Anne asked.
Suzie ran over to Anne's location.
"What did you find now, Anne?" Suzie asked.
"I found Alan's rose-tinted sunglasses." Anne answered Suzie.
"Are you sure?" Suzie asked Anne.
Anne handed the sunglasses off to Suzie, "Quite sure." she answered.
"I had better contact Tom, he is with Flip & Scooter." Suzie said to Anne.
"Good thinking." Mimi said to Suzie.
Suzie prepared to contact Tom via Chan com.
Tom, Flip, and Scooter ran into the the big top tent when Tom got a call on his Chan com.
"This is Tom, talk to me." Tom said.
"Tom, this is Suzie." Suzie said.
"What's the matter?" Tom asked Suzie now feeling unsure of what was going on.
"Is Alan where you are?" Suzie asked Tom worriedly.
"I do not see him," Tom answered Suzie. "why do you ask?"
"Because, Anne has told me that she thought she has seen Alan." Suzie explained to Tom.
"That's crazy!" Tom said to Suzie.
"Listen to me, you kook," someone shouted over their Chan com. "I know that I saw what I saw!"
"Okay, Anne, just cool down!" Tom said gently.
"So sorry, Tom." Anne said.
Suddenly, Tom, Flip, and Scooter all heard someone entering the big top.
The person they heard was climbing the ladder to the trapeze wire.
"Oh my gosh! Chief," Scooter shouted at Flip. "Alan is climbing up to the trapeze wire!"
"Tom," Flip said. "contact Suzie! Tell her to come to the big top!"
"I'm on it." Tom told Flip.
Tom got his Chan com out and prepared to contact Suzie.
Back in the costume tent, Suzie answered her Chan com.
"Hello?" Suzie asked.
"Hi, Suzie, it's Tom," Tom said. "you, Anne, and Mimi had better come over to the big top! This is urgent!"
"What's so urgent?" Suzie asked Tom.
"Alan is on the high wire." Scooter told Suzie.
"Alan is where?" Suzie asked Scooter.
"Alan is on the high wire." Scooter told Suzie again.
"Hang tight, Scooter," Mimi said sternly. "we'll be right there!"
The three girls raced over to the big top to find a terrifying sight.
Alan was still mesmerized as he continued walking on the high wire.
Henry, Stanley, Nancy, and Candace joined the others in the big top.
"Oh my gosh," Candace shouted. "Cousin Alan!"
Alan was making his way back to the other platform on the high wire.
"What are we going to do, Henry?" Flip asked now worried for Alan's safety.
Henry saw a shadowy figure swinging a gold pocket watch back & forth and back & forth.
"I had better contact Pop." Henry said.
Henry prepared to call Charlie on his Chan com.
Charlie was over on the far side of the circus & carnival when he got a message.
"Hello?" Charlie asked.
"Pop, this is Henry." Henry said.
"Henry?" Charlie asked.
"Come straight to the big top, I can see someone shady over here." Henry said to Charlie.
"And, bring Mr. Zambini too, Uncle Charlie." Candace requested.
"I'll be right there." Charlie said to Candace.
Charlie then ended his call with Henry.
A few hours later, Charlie & Mr. Zambini came into the big top to find Henry & Stanley with a safety net under Alan who was still walking on the high wire, while Candace went up to one of the platforms to try to help her entranced cousin.
"Alan! Snap out of it!" Suzie called out.
Anne just snapped her fingers and Alan came out of his trance.
"Alan! Be careful," Candace called out. "you are on the trapeze wire!"
"Whatever you do, Buddy, don't look down!" Anne called up to Alan.
Alan looked down from his position on the high wire.
"Yow!" Alan screamed in tremendous fright.
When they finally got to the Zambini Circus, they could all hear a girl's voice shouting and the sound of a whip being cracked.
"Up, Simba," the girl shouted, cracking the whip. "up!"
Everyone exited the Chan van to soon discover that Rinrin was in a trance just like Alan was, only she was doing the lion tamer's act.
