28. THE STOLEN LETTER
Lydia is in a hurry to get to the postal office in a small Swiss town.
Thorought her long voyage in the search for The Flower in Seven Colours,
she always waited this moment with great impatience.
Do you have a letter for me?
If all went well, it should have arrived today.
I'm Lydia and I should receive a letter from my grandparents from France.
I can't wait to hear from them!
Be patient! The courier just left. Let me check.
Is this it?
Yes! It's my letter! Give it to me!
Hands up!
Don't move, or else you die!
My letter! Give it back to me!
Hands up, I said!
My letter!
- Wait! - Be careful!
Get lost!
Come! I have an idea!
We're going way too fast!
The brakes don't work!
I was never so scared in my life!
Everything will be fine now.
Ouch! You said everything will be fine!
My neck hurts a lot!
These must belong to the thieves.
I think they escaped in the forest.
They must be there, in that cabin!
Let's split the loot!
Let the good life begin!
Are you ready?
Let's go!
What happened?
Cador!
Who goes there?
It's the girl from earlier.
- Let's get out of here! - Yes!
Don't leave me behind!
Will you help me, please?
It's not my problem. Deal with it yourself.
I think the trap may have broken his paw.
Idiot!
What was that for?
Keep quiet! I laid that trap especially to catch one of them.
This time, I was sure I had them!
Why did you have to show up unexpectedly?
- I wanted to stop them too! - Really? They stole your money too?
No. A letter.
What? A letter? This is ridiculous!
It's not ridiculous! It's a very important letter!
- A love letter, is it? - Stop it!
It arrived this morning. It's from my grandparents.
What a stupid...
Are you mad!? What was that for?
Read these letters! They're from my grandfather and grandmother!
Read and see how much they worry about my safety!
You have no idea how much these letters helped me!
When I was feeling low, they gave me strength!
The horse is back!
Hold it!
Take us with you! I want to find my letter!
No way! Those guys are gangsters!
They don't care about your letter! They surely tore it to pieces by now!
I can't believe it!
Flower! Flower! Flower!
Cador, Cathy! Come! We are leaving!
Wait! I'm coming with you!
No can do, I'm sorry! There's no more place.
- Please! - No way!
OK, as you wish, but you don't even know where they are heading.
Let go of my waist!
It's not like I have a choice. Let's hurry, if we want to catch them!
Stop bossing me around!
I only want them to pay for what they did to my father.
What happened to your father?
Two months ago, the gangsters raided the supermarket
where my father was a security agent.
He was badly wounded while trying to stop them.
However, people say that he was with them!
- But this is unfair! - Exactly!
That's why I was trying to catch them for two months.
Two months... Have you written home since then?
Well...
You must write back home! Your parents must be worried!
That way!
Hold on! It's getting steep!
What's this?
Sabrina! Meddling in my affairs again!
We came to help you. Get on the helicopter with us.
Who, me?
With the helicopter, we can easily catch the bandits!
Come, we want to help you!
- Really? Can I come with you? - Of course you do! Hurry!
Be careful! Don't trust a word from those two!
But the gangsters must pay!
But Max...
Don't worry! I will find your letter!
Cathy!
Lydia! I'm afraid for Cathy. She might fall!
We must follow her. She is risking her life for me.
Get on my back!
- Come on! - I'm heavy, you know...
I will get back that letter no matter what! You'll see!
I think Lydia has given up by now
and she is back on finding The Flower in Seven Colours!
There! Their horses!
- It's that kid again! - He hasn't given up!
You will not escape me this time, you scoundrels!
Help me!
Do you think it will be that easy?
I'm getting out of this mess!
What? You said that you will help me!
It was just talk...
We just wanted to separate you from Lydia.
You hypocrite!
Did you really thought that we cared about your poor father?
What a good joke!
Do with him as you please. The boy is all yours!
Wait!
Bastards!
Those two are really mean!
Cruel, even!
I'm glad that there still are truly mean people in the world!
How about it, boy? We, the villains, are stronger together!
This time, I think it's the end.
Well, well, well! What's this cat doing here?
Boss, look what I found!
No way! This little beast followed us here?
I know how we can get rid of it.
Let's give it a treat.
She can't hold onto her feet!
Get lost!
I hope I'll never see those cowards again!!
I must find Lydia as soon as possible!
A wolf!
I think he's coming toward us!
Cathy!
Lydia!
I see it! So Max is a prisoner in that house?
We must get him out of there as soon as possible!
If I were there instead of him, I'd go crazy!
Will you do something for me, Cathy?
Max!
Max, we were just about to become friends.
A letter from Lydia!
But it's never too late for that. We must help each other.
I'll do everything I can to save you, I promise!
But for now... When I was sad, a letter always cheered me up.
Don't lose your courage!
Lydia!
Good! No we can split the loot.
- Come out, you bandits! - What's this?
What's going on? Who's in the house?
I don't know, boss. I see no one.
We are here, you idiots!
Down there!
It would be best for you to just surrender.
I see no one!
I tell you, bad guys always get what's coming to them!
It's you, Lydia! Thank you!
Come quick!
The money is here!
- It's a ghost, boss! - Let's leave this house!
You thief! It's our money!
You are the real thieves!
How can they be so greedy?
Even in the last moment, they were concerned about the money!
We must catch them!
The cat and the dog spoke!
I see.
Flower! Flower! Flower!
I am William Tell!
- Lydia, everything is going well? - I got two of them!
The only one left is the boss.
Nice shot, isn't it?
This will teach you to...
No, Max! It's dangerous!
Be careful, Max!
My letter is gone!
I'm sorry, Lydia!
Since I got yours, I understand the importance of a letter.
Mr. Florent!
Here. For you.
My letter! Thank you, Mr. Florent!
You should write to your father as soon as possible
and tell him about how you defeated the mean bandits with your friend!
Yes! I promise!
Accompany your letter with these bulbs!
After a short while, the bulbs grew into irises.
When people saw these wonderful flowers,
it was like they got a flower letter from a dear friend.
In the language of flowers, the iris means "good news".
