In France

The airplane lands at Charles de Gaulle airport and announcements were made to passengers, Abigail and her friends passed through checking taking their suitcases, and walked towards the exit where Sebastien was waiting for them. Concern was evident on their faces.

“Abigail?” Abigail was ahead of her group, striding with a poker face, Kimberly called to her but her voice came out as a whisper which Abigail didn’t hear, Kimberly took long steps to match with her steps and hold her hands from the elbow to halt her

Abigail turned her head and raised her eyes in question

“Are you sure we should in our steps on this land after what Sebastien told?” Abigail shushes her, moving her gaze to other members of her group, signaling them to join, once all gathered in round Abigail spoke to them in a low but the authoritative voice

“We have landed, and now there is no going back. The moment plane lands our mission has begun and I am confident we will succeed”

“But Abigail if something happens to you?” Chloe asked in fear

“We will see, though it won’t be easy” Abigail was confident, she ran fingers in her hair giving her friends a short smile to boost their confidence she continued to walk.

Sebastien saw the time on his watch for about the umpteenth time, sighing he looked again to the gate from where they all will appear. He saw them in their pictures and saved them on his phone in case he couldn’t recognize them, shoving his hands in his jeans pocket he murmured

“Come on, come out.” When he notices some familiar face, he squinted his eyes, other familiar faces appear behind that one face, and he thanked God, approaching them by jogging

They all were moving their faces to find Sebastien when were called by a man, turning to the source, their lips smiled and they all shake their hands with the man

“Finally, I got to meet the man who is becoming my competitor” Dylan gives him a bro hug while expressing his thought, and Sebastien responds to him with a warm gesture

“Yeah, Abigail told me she has a very competent detective and would not need my services that much” They all walked towards Sebastien’s car while chattering and introducing themselves to each other

“Hey, Abigail, you are silent. Is it because of news I shared?” Sebastien felt her silence the moment he approached them and couldn’t resist asking her

Abigail shook her head, keeping her eyes on the windows, and observed the changes that had occurred in the last ten years, her eyes welled up with the memories of her childhood with her parents.

“Paris has changed sensational” Abigail commented and with that, her teammates followed

“Yeah, the view looks breathtaking.” Chloe was enjoying the drive

“Sebastien, have you booked the trip to Eiffel Tower on the schedule?” Blake asked leaning to the driver’s seat where Sebastien was driving and Dylan was sitting on the passenger seat beside him

“I have made good arrangements for your trip you guys should have good fun before we enter to field and obviously you will need memories to tell your families” Sebastien frankly said to him

“Woah man, I love you. Keep that in your record” Sebastien smiled at him while others rolled their eyes at Blake’s loving and hating, that changes with every action they do.

“How much time it will take to reach?” Kimberly was feeling tired and wanted to rest

“Hardly a few minutes drive and we will be at your destination” Kimberly nodded and closed her eyes for a nap
