(Originally Posted Wednesday 7-8-20)<\/p>\n

These 2 pics ties back into CP#14<\/a>. When I first saw them, I knew they all tied together somehow, which is why I saved them. Also, for the purpose of this writing thought process, we\u2019re assuming the girl in the 2nd<\/sup> pic is one of the girls in the 1st<\/sup> pic.<\/p>\n

The idea is something like this. The girls, early 20\u2019s, just out of college, both single, going on a trip to Europe (leaning toward Paris if that becomes our featured city per CP#14). Main thing is they\u2019re American\u2019s and going somewhere overseas. It\u2019s their first night there and they\u2019re going out to dinner\/drinking. Maybe a restaurant then bar. But not say a nightclub. They\u2019re not going out to party but rather to celebrate.<\/p>\n

I think they\u2019re lifetime best friends, if not middle school then say freshman in high school and they went to the same college together, same sorority etc. And this trip is something they\u2019ve always wanted to do. Maybe it\u2019s one of those visit each city for so many days then on to the next one. Like a summer across Europe thing. That could work. Also, if they\u2019re not lifetime bffs maybe they met in college and this trip was a common goal and that\u2019s what made them friends. I kinda like that idea better actually because then they don\u2019t know everything about each other\u2019s families which helps explain pic 2 better.<\/p>\n

So, the girls go out, have a great time, it\u2019s all good. No issues. But they catch the eye of our Creepy French Guy (CFG) from CP#14. He starts following them around later that night, then next day when they go shopping.<\/p>\n

Their second night there, they\u2019re cooking dinner together and CFG knocks on their door, they\u2019re staying at a fancy pad\/apartment suite but not like crazy over the top. CFG is pretending to be takeout\/delivery. Like Uber Eats Paris style. They open the door and that\u2019s when one of the girls gets grabbed and taken (yes like the movie, remember every plot has already been done, the trick is to give it your own take on it).<\/p>\n

This brings us to 2nd<\/sup> pic. The friend who was left behind. It\u2019s only their second day there and this happens. She\u2019s completely distraught and has no idea what she\u2019s supposed to do. CFG gives her a business card and says, \u201c$50k to get her back. 2 days or else.\u201d<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t have money. They weren\u2019t like poor friend and rich friend, but the girl taken comes from money of some kind.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not until the 2nd<\/sup> girl pic uses the friend taken cell phone to call that girl\u2019s dad. Turns out he\u2019s really a crime boss of some sort and he has no intention of paying. Instead he\u2019s sending some people to teach CFG and his group a lesson.<\/p>\n

Which only makes things worse.<\/p>\n
