dense and more brownish in hue; he put in smart hairstyle, without requiring

too much effort. Like a fringe pulled to the side. The men talk very briefly with
each other, while Mathias is still observing them, as well as the rest the life

outside his window. As soon as the guys disappear into the entryway and up the

stairs, he can hear their footsteps on the thick carpet outside his room.
"It was just about to go wrong again, and I would love to hear why Rainar

couldn't figure it out."

Claire’s sweating; she sits on a workout bench in the LG-1000's fitness room,
which is arranged in a kind of base inside the apartment’s ground floor.

"It was drugs," says Brian, sipping his coffee.
"Yeah, I know. But still..."

Claire doesn’t look at either of them but continues to lift 15 kilos of weight in a

slow movement behind her neck and then slowly back down again. She still has
yet to glance at them, as she is too busy with her training. The multi-function

espresso machine emits a loud, wheezing sound. Claire continues her workout

while the other two arrange for a few cups of coffee.
Adrian puts his gun down; it’s a Heckler & Koch - P30. He looks at his gun for a

brief moment, and then proceeds to make the coffees, heating the milky foam.
Claire's regular workout program in the morning is a tough one. The other two

take a seat on the sofa and sits for a little while, consecutively looking out at the

massive window, then at Claire, while slurping the coffee. Adrian looks at his cell
phone. No one in the room says anything. As two loyal dogs ready for action,

Adrian and Brian are waiting for Claire to finish her training program. There is a

scent of new wood, fresh paint and new carpets; the flat is one hundred percent
decorated according to Claire's own taste; everything kept in brown, white and

black. A cynic would say it looks more like a modern luxury restaurant than a

residence; the only thing that breaks the too style fixated look are two big Italian
luxury sofas called the "floaters", they’re a hefty olive green hue. Informal samba

music flows through the room from the invisible speakers that placed

everywhere in the residence.
Claire puts down the dumbbells and gets up from the workbench. Her workout

clothes consist of a black workout jersey, tight black yoga pants and white Nike
shoes. Her hair is all wet with sweat from the workout; she has put it in a bun.
