The Paris Assignment
Chapter 1: The Thief on the Platform
It is a cold morning, but Sam is feeling very hot.
He is running through the busy train station in London.
He is sweating because he is late, and the train to Paris leaves in only two minutes! He is wearing a heavy rucksack on his back, which makes him even slower.
Inside his bag, he has his house keys and a wallet with his money.
He finally reaches the platform.
The Eurostar is already there.

Sam is breathing hard and wiping the sweat from his face.
He quickly reaches into his pocket for his ticket to show the guard.
But suddenly, he stops. His heart sinks.
He feels his pockets again, but they are empty.
"Oh no! Where is my mobile phone?" he cries.

He looks up at the train as it begins to move.
He sees a mysterious man behind a window.
The man is smiling and holding Sam’s phone up against the glass! The train leaves for France, and Sam is left behind on the platform—tired, sweaty, and very worried.

Sam stands on the platform for a moment.
He feels a bit sick.
He needs to call his phone, but how?

Behind the counter stands a woman. She is wearing
very thick, strange glasses that make her eyes
look huge and scary. Sam runs to the counter, still sweating.
"Excuse me!" he says, gasping for air. "I need to make a call. Can I use your landline, please? A man on the train stole my phone!"
The woman does not smile. She looks at Sam’s sweaty face through her mysterious glasses with a very cold expression.
"This is a shop, not a post office," she says in an unfriendly voice. "I am very busy." "Please!" Sam begs. "It is an emergency!"

The woman sighs loudly.
She looks annoyed, but finally, she pushes the black telephone across the counter.
"Fine. Be quick," she snaps.
Sam picks up the phone.
His hands are shaking as he dials his own number.
Shat does the woman say to Sam?
You cannot use my telephone.
You have to pay for your call
Your phone call must be quick.
I do not have a landline.
Sam’s heart is thumping in his chest as the phone rings.
Finally, someone picks up.
"I have your phone," a cold, deep voice says.
Sam feels a shiver down his spine.
"Who are you? Why did you take it?" Sam asks.
"That is not important," the man replies.
"I have a briefcase for you, too.
Go to the park near the river.
Look for the wooden bench under the large oak tree.
There is a letter waiting for you."
The line goes dead.

Sam feels a shiver
Sam runs out of the shop and heads toward the park.
By the time he reaches the park, a thick, grey fog has rolled in.
It is very dark.
Sam reaches into his rucksack to find his glasses, but he realizes with horror that he left them in the shop!
He usually wears contact lenses, but today his eyes were too tired.
Everything around him is a blurry mess of shadows.
Why does Sam not wear his contact lenses?
He sees better without them.
He forgot to put them in this morning.
he left them in his rucksack.
His eyes were too tired.
Sam stumbles through the grass.
He finally sees the dark shape of a bench.
He reaches out his hands and finds a small,
red purse lying on the cold wood.
He opens it quickly.
There is no money inside, but he finds a tiny, silver computer chip.
What is it made of?
silver
wood
computer chip
money
trees
bench
Just as he puts the chip in his pocket,
he hears a sudden noise behind him
—a soft footstep on the dry leaves.
Sam freezes and turns around.
Through the thick fog, he sees the shadow of a man.
The man does not speak; he simply turns and walks away into the darkness.
Sam walks to the spot where the man was standing.
On the ground, he finds a letter.
It is a small note with only four words: Go to the bridge.

"Do you have it?" the man asks. "Yes," Sam replies.
He pulls the red purse from his rucksack.
"I have the chip. Now, give me my phone." They swap the items quickly.
Sam finally has his phone back.
The man puts the chip inside his briefcase and locks it with a loud click.
'Do you have it?'
What does the man mean by that?
Do you have the red purse?
Do you have the silver chip?
Do you have the heavy briefcase?
Do you have the mobuile phone?
"Now, Sam, check your rucksack," the man commands.
Sam is confused, but he opens his bag.
Inside, next to his wallet, he finds a different set of keys.
They are heavy and old.
He also finds a new ticket. It is a plane ticket.
