Paris, the City of Light, a city with 2500 years of history. A city with streets lined with cafes, a sprawling metropolis home to the decade’s best writers. The home to the Eiffel tower, Arc de Triomphe the cancan, the Moulin rouge and absinthe. But it is also home to the catacombs and the world’s most advanced sewer system and a world of crime so large that only a few can fully appreciates its magnitude.

Yoyo stared up at the massive structure of the Eiffel tower. He quietly and inconspicuously made his way to the ticket office and bought one ticket to the first floor. He climbed the 360 steps to the first floor. At the first level he tried to blend in, he watched the skyline and had a cofee, but he still stook out like a sore thumb with no romantic partner. Looking out at all the people at the first floor he counted the number of couples, families and singles. Yoyo was the only person there alone.
Yoyo approached the entrance to the stair well which led to the next level. He had spent a lot of time making sure that no one was up there or was going to go up there. Ignoring the ‘No entry sign on the door he turned the door knob, locked, He seamlessly slipped a lock pick and tension wrench from inside his sleeve. After spending 30 seconds manipulating the lock he was able to open the door. Calmly he started ascending the stair well to the top level. Luckily no one saw him climb.

At a level platform he met a man, gazing over the city. He was a small thin man. He wore a grey two piece suit and wore a beret on his head.
Hearing my steps on the metal he said ‘Ah you made it’. He turned to Yoyo and extended his hand to him. ‘Chaule’, his English was flawless but he was stuttering. Yoyo could see the man was sweating profusely.
‘Yoyo’ said Yoyo shaking Chaule’s hand. Chaule soothed himself.
‘Since you passed the entering requirement for our little club’ Chaule said ‘I see no reason why you cannot know the location of the sunken city. I am sorry for putting you through this test but I had to make sure you are not a member of the police. As you can guess we like to keep our home secret. Nevr reveal anything or show anyone, it will eb your doom. Go to the top of the tower and tell the café waitress to take you table 7. Your contact will be there soon, wait for him’. With that he jumped over the guard rail of the platform and fell to the foot of the Eiffel tower.

Yoyo leaned over the rail in shock, he saw the man hit the ground, a cloud of dust envelope him. Immediately people started pointing from where Chaule had jumped. ‘S****!’ Yoyo swore. Yoyo started to climb to the top of the Eiffel tower at break neck speed. Night was starting to take hold of the city and Yoyo could see men with flashlights climbing to the platform. At the end of the stairs there was a locked gate after getting past it Yoyo was promptly met by a guard. Yoyo karate chopped him in the neck, knocking the man unconscious immediately. Yoyo hid him behind the gate he had passed through.

He straightened out his suit and walked calmly over to the café. He sat at table seven as instructed and within a minute a man sat down opposite him. He was large, mid thirties and had brown hair. ‘Well done Mr. Yoyo, you are more capable than you look. I will have to be quick. Here are the plates, the man handed him some metal prints they contain everything you need to know, do NOT lose them. Do I make myself clear?’ It wasn’t a question. ‘I do believe Chaule gave you the talk on loyalty like I told him to’ Yoyo nodded ‘Good, because Mr. Yoyo, Chaule chose the better of two punishments by jumping off the tower. I will see you below Mr. Yoyo, the unnamed man turned around to leave the café, Yoyo saw him enter the lift through a window.

Yoyo stuffed the prints into his shoulder bag. On him right now was the key to the French underworld, quite literally. Yoyo quickly stood up and walked to the lift, making sure he wasn’t followed, if he was caught with these prints he would be sent to jail and then he was sure he would have to meet the same fate as Chaule as well.

Back at Yoyo’s hotel he examined the metal prints. He needed ink; he took the ink bottle from his bag and covered each with the black substance. And then he pressed the prints onto sheets of paper. Yoyo was surprised at the amazing detail of the print and the secrets they unveiled.

Yoyo stuffed the paper into his shoulder bag. Yoyo started to collect all his gear and put it in his bag or wore it. Yoyo put on his leather long jacket and hat, checked out and then exited the hotel…
