Description
"tintin" whispered a distant voice. "tinitn, wake up."
Tintin slowly opened his eyes to see none other than Captain Haddock looming over him and gently shaking his shoulder.
"haddock?" he asked as he stretched and sat up. "what are you doing here?"
"i went up to ye flat this mornin' but there was no sign of ya." explained haddock as he stood up. "i asked mrs finch if she had seen ye, but she said you hadn't returned home. i knew if you'd be anywhere it would be here."
tintin looked around, only just remembering he had slept in the library. he noticed that one of his hands was numb. he looked down to see that stella's hand still wrapped tightly around his, even though she was still in a state of deep sleep.
"ah yes," begun haddock, "care too explain who this is lad?"
Tintin froze. what could tell him? for some reason he felt that this new-found friendship with miss rose was a private matter, haddock didnt need to know.
"oh, she's just a friend." he said as he gently slid his hand out her tight grip. she twitched a little.
"thunderin' typhoons!" chuckled haddock, "we're friends lad, but i don't recall ever falling to sleep hand-in-hand."
tintin went red. he hung his head low and ran his fingers through his hair. he sighed. "we just got tired." he explained "we were searching for a book."
"a book?" asked haddock. "which one?"
"it was called 'The Clockwork Slaves'. she wanted to give it too her sister.
haddock nodded. " i see, and ye couldn't find it?"
"no. we searched everywhere. she even showed me a secret room behind the book-keepers desk."
Haddock stroked his beard as he thought of the title.
"t'aint ringing any bells lad, sorry." he said as he walked over too him. "anyway," he said as nodded in stella's direction. "what ar' ye doing 'bout her? ye can't just leave her 'ere."
"i know." said tintin as he looked at stella, who was now curled up around a pile of books. "i'll be back."
he walked over too her and slipped his arms under her knees and chest, he picked her up.
"stay here and look after snowy." as he begun too walk away he called pixie too follow him.
haddock leaned causally against a book case and lit his pipe.
"whatever ye say, lad. whatever ye say."

tintin carried stella into the secret lounge and laid her down on the couch. pixie jumped up onto her stomach and curled herself into a ball. stella moaned quietly. tintin walked over to the desk and wrote a small note. he slipped between stella's fingers and whispered "goodbye.". he slipped out of the library with haddock and snowy and gently closed the door behind him.

-------------------------------

all was silent between haddock and tintin as they walked down the streets to marlinspike hall. titnin deciced to break the silence by asking
"so...why did go looking for me yesterday?"
"i read something a bit troublin' in the newspaper this mornin'." said haddock as he pulled a newspaper clipping out of his blazer. he passed it to tintin. he read the title "UNKNOWN RUSSIAN BOUNTY HUNTER SAID TO BE TARGETING RESIDENT OF BRUSSELS: A rouge russain bounty hunter, rumoured to be the famous 'black rose' is said to be targeting resident of brussels due to long forgotten family issues.". he screwed up his face in confusment. "why?"
haddock shrugged as he tipped some more tobacco into his pipe. "i was a bit concerned, and even more so now, seein' that young lass. i'm guessing she's a new resident."
"she might be the target...that must be she must have moved here!" tintin gasped.
"sorry to tell ye, lad." said haddock, "but we may need t' either kick 'er outta town for others safety, or we're goin' t' russia!
"well then pack your bags captain." said tintin with a determined voice, "we're going to russia!"
