100 Degrees Below Zero Page #5

---

you guys, did you hear what happened?

Taryn thank god, listen it's

lacey.

They alright?

Uh, your father's busy driving are you ok?,

is, is your brother with you? Is he safe?

Ryan is here. We're fine. We're

fine but the city is horrible.

Ok listen everything's going

to be fine, we have a plan.

Ok, what's the plan?

We need a place to rendezvous.

Ok listen, we need a place we can find you,

what do you see around you, what's nearby?

Nothing. Nothing it's all gone.

What are they asking?

They need a place to meet us.

The embassy?

The tower.

The Eiffel tower, it's still

there.

They say the Eiffel

tower's still standing.

Perfect, tell 'em to

go to the tower and

find a safe place to

stay and look out for a

Helicopter. We'll be there, it'll

take some time but we'll get there.

Corporal I'm major foster, us air force.

I need access to the service tunnel.

Sorry sir, this tunnel

is for emergencies only.

This is an emergency corporal,

I need to get to France.

So do all those people.

My children are stranded in Paris

corporal, I need to get to them.

My mom's in Reykjavik. We

haven't spoken since yesterday.

I understand sir.

What's the problem?

He's not gonna let us

through

Look at that!

When more people realize

they won't get through.

It's getting ugly out there. And

it's only going to get worse

We're running out of time.

They're going to close this

Tunnel and we're never

going to get out of here.

Ah the hell with it. Hold on.

Alright, we're on our way.

Whoo I'm freezing my ass off.

We need coats.

You're telling me.

Hey look, best case scenario.

They're not gonna

be here for another 3

hours, probably more.

Yeah.

So why don't we go find coats and

somewhere warm where we can rest a while.

Ok but I don't want to want

to miss them at the tower.

Neither do I. We get

pneumonia out here, we're

not going to be doing

anyone any favors.

They're still in England, right? They have

to find the helicopter where ever the hell

That is. Then fly to Paris. It's

gonna be a while. And it's cold.

Ok. Where do you want to go?

Uh, I don't know. This way?

At least it's in the

direction of the Louvre.

What is it? What is it? What is

it?

The army is rounding up people

probably for evacuation.

Well that's a good thing right?

Not if it stops us from

getting to lacey and dad.

Whatever is going on here. Staying at a

refugee camp is not gonna save us ok?

C'mon.

Wait Ryan? The cold. It's freezing. I don't

want to die out here in the streets.

Here. Here. Let me think.

Where are we?

Avenue George. I know what we

can do.

What?

Run to the Fourreur industries.

C'mon.

See.

They actually teach you something

useful in fashion school, huh.

Let's go.

I don't think there's anyone

here.

It doesn't look like

there's anything here.

I guess we are not the 1st people to think

of Fourreur's would be a good stop huh.

There's gotta be something.

Hey. Maybe downstairs. There's gotta

be a stock room or something right?

We're going to shop. I'm not

going back out there like this.

Bingo.

Here try this.

Oh, better?

Much.

Oh, we got lucky.

Relatively speaking.

Of course you don't speak

French.

Typical Americans.

We're sorry. We didn't think-

You didn't think I'd mind being

robbed.

The lootters already took most of my coats.

But you won't get these.

Sir, please we don't meet any harm.

We just-

You know how it is out there.

It's freezing.

It's only getting colder.

We need these coats.

Then you buy them like anyone

else.

Ok yeah. Fine sure. How much?

Price is determined by need.

And your need is great.

So the price is

will be great also.

I'd say... 20,000 euros.

A piece.

20,000 euros? That's ridiculous.

Yeah. Who's robbing who here?

Please sir. Be reasonable.

Leave my money or leave my coats.

or leave both.

We're making good time,

as long as the roads

ahead of us are as good

as they were in England.

And no more earthquakes.

Don't jinx it.

It's not the snow I'm so

worried about, it's the wind.

Steve.

Right, my lips are sealed.

This really is what you do isn't

it?

What's that?

Keep cool in a crisis, rise to

the challenge, find solutions.

Well, that is what I was trained for,

unfortunately I wasn't trained in raising a

Family, but it's going to work this

time I promise you, no it will work.

Yeah it's gonna work.

It's gonna work, I'll make sure

it works.

Australia will be the

true test of that. All

four of us livin' in a

little tent together?

Australia, I wonder what

that's going to be like...

I'll certainly get

to know your kids.

Yeah...

I'm sure they found some place in

Paris to get some cold weather gear.

Yeah I'm sure.

Knowing Taryn, she probably spent 3000

dollars on some skimpy little ski jacket.

You know I think you're a much better

father than you give yourself credit for.

Well thanks.

I'm sure they're just a couple of

chips right off the old block.

Well let's hope, right now our

mission is to find 'em, make

Sure they're safe and,

get them out of Paris.

Roger that major..

Look, easy here. Here take my

credit card.

Cash only. Mona mi.

We don't have that kinda cash.

Who would? Please just...

We gotta get outta here.

No.

Taryn.

Ryan!

Ryan!

Tyran!

I'm trapped.

I can't lift it. It's too heavy.

Oh my god the ceiling!

It's not gonna hold.

Ryan hurry!

You gotta get me out.

Ryan!

I'm going to go for some help,

ok?

Help? Where? Ryan, you

can't leave me here.

Tyran, I have to. I can't

lift this by myself.

We need help, ok?

Look, I won't be a minute,

alright?

Ryan! Ryan, you can't leave me

here.

Just hang tight. I'll be right back, ok?

I promise.

Hey help! Help! Hey.

Hey!

Sir. You got to help me.

Hey. It's you.

My sister... Um she's

downstairs, she's trapped.

S'il vous plait. Please.

Ryan, you didn't bring anybody?

It's crazy out there but I

brought this.

I'm going to lift it up as high as I can.

You run as fast as you can out, ok?

Ok, do it!

1... 2... 3.

Higher.

I'm trying.

Go. Go. Go.

Ryan, thank you so much.

Sorry I called you a pervert.

that's the 1st thing you

think of to apologize to me for?

Shut up.

Ok.

Ouch!

How bad is that?

Damn these were 200 dollar

jeans.

Right but are ya gonna die of

tetanus?

It hurts but the cut is not that deep.

I'll be fine.

Ok, good. We need to get a cross the sea.

The tower is on the rive droite.

Wow Ryan. That's impressive.

No not really. That's the only bit of

French I've learned since I've been here.

That and "it's ok I'm a doctor."

Alright. Well let's find somewhere

warm and dry until they get here.

Yeah. I could so go for a

nice cup of coffee right now.

Mmm coffee. How about a hazelnut crepe?

Chocolate a Claire? Foot rub?

Sarcasm isn't helpful right now

Taryn.

Ana.

Yes doctor?

I want you to check my work.

Sir.

I think perhaps I've made a mistake because

what I'm looking at here is unprecedented.

I can't send it to NATO until
