A rather tall, very elegant man, got out of a black van with tinted windows. and he walked through the night towards a building that could be glimpsed in the darkness. His step was sure and soft like that of a model or an actor. Anyone who had seen his face once, with the long hair pulled back and stopped by a pin, his characteristic, would have recognized him. The driver left. Suddenly, just after having set foot on the first step of what must have been his house, the man slowed down imperceptibly. Then he stopped and did something a bit strange: carelessly, he pulled a vial from his pocket and opened it. A few drops fell on his hand, which wrapped around his neck. Immediately an intense scent of lavender filled the air. He opened the door and disappeared from sight.
