Into the Fire
“Battling her way through the mob that is blocking her route to the front doors of the police station, she discovers that however scared they may be of the recent developments, they still have deadlines to meet and editors to please and that nothing will keep them at bay now that some idiot has seen fit to leak two facts: first, that Cheb Yasine has slipped his surveillance and his current location is unknown; second, that Christelle Vivier has disappeared and may be about to reclaim her role as the new Maid of Orléans, particularly if she is found dead.
If she is found dead in a fire, there will be no doubt at all: she will be a martyr to Jaish al Islam and her party will reap a landslide in the polls. This shouldn’t be Picaut’s problem, but she has made a promise and so it is, and it is here, in the form of her soon-to-be-ex-husband.
‘Inès, the polls open on Sunday. If Christelle’s been kidnapped, they’ll either cancel the election or she’ll get a sympathy vote that’ll leave the rest... of us in single figures.MoreLess
