The Cult of Tintin Online Story
Part 1: From the frying pan into the fire
"Home at last!" Tintin said as he
entered the door, kicking off his shoes. He was pleased to sit on his favourite
chair again, it was more than 30 hours since he had last sat on a comfortable
chair, and that was a nice leather couch by the large window of his hotel room
which overlooked the crowded city of Kowloon. He was glad to hear the chirping
of the birds coming from the English garden. Snowy was fast asleep, Tintin gave
his loyal companion a gentle rub in the belly and said tenderly, "You brave
old thing. Rest now." Snowy jumped as a loud knock on the door startled him.
Before Tintin even got to his feet to answer the door, it had swung open and
a small figure dashed in.
