The spy
The rain was pouring down on Avalae. Stealthily, a Matis crossed the space separating the Majestic Gardens Caravans counter from the bar.
He quickly entered the elevator, which took him to the green-lit room where the thirsty took refuge.
There was only one customer that evening and, as usual, the barman greeted arrivals outside the building. It was the homine the Matis was looking for. He watched her for a moment. Despite her relaxed posture, he could tell she was trying to play the noble Matisse. The Matis judged that soon the "cover" would be perfect.
The Matis signaled his presence with a tap on the shoulder, then uttered the phrase of recognition in Taki zoraï that his agent had planned for their meetings during the infiltration. After a moment's silence, the hominin replied in a morose voice. She mumbled: "Cirrus, Nu is happy to see Liu.
Cirrus let the silence linger for a moment. He wondered if he would be able to get through to her despite her apathetic state. Cirrus" placed a packet on the counter, from which a strange odor was rising. The homine seized it and quickly stuffed it into her pocket.
"Now is not the time to flinch".said "Cirrus" in an ironically paternal tone. "Your new friends would be disappointed to find you here in this state. You now have more than enough to relax behind closed doors with this package."
The interpellée didn't answer. Cirrus" added nothing. The Matis simply pretended to leave. He stopped when he heard an amber cube hit the wood of the counter.
"Cirrus" retraced his steps and picked up the object.
Then, without a word, he left the bar.
