31st October 2006. 03:45. Paris, France.
Waking up to the sound of her phone buzzing in her nightstand, Sophia groaned and rubbed her eyes, waking up from her sleep. She let out a yawn and turned around to see what time it was.
3:45 in the morning and someone already needed her. Nothing new, to be honest. She picked up before whoever was calling hung up.
-Hello?.- Her sleepy and raspy voice came through the speaker.
-Agent Dumont.-At the sound of her uncle's voice, she woke up completely.
-Director Badeaux, what is it?.- She knew Pierre wouldn't have called if it wasn't something important.
-We need you at Headquarters, something's come up.- Pierre said in a serious tone. Even though he was talking to his niece, he had to keep things professional so it didn't look like he had a preference for the young agent.
-I'll be there in 30. Anything I need to know, sir?.- While she was ready for anything, the details of the mission hadn't been disclosed to her yet.
-I can't tell you until you arrive. This is sensitive information and it can't be disclosed over the phone.- Sophia had no idea what was going on, but she wasn't scared or nervous, she was rather curious. She nodded even though Pierre couldn't see her.
-I'm on my way.- After she said that, she hung up the phone and got up from her bed.
Taking a quick shower so she could wake up fully and once she was done, she got dressed in a pair of black cargo pants, a black long sleeve shirt, she put on her black heel combat boots and her military green bomber jacket. Tying her hair up in a ponytail and grabbing her bag with her stuff and her keys, she exited her apartment in the busy capital of Paris. Once she was in her car, she made her way to I.I.S.A HQ.
When she arrived, she went straight to the Director's office on the 50th floor. The elevator doors opened and before she got in, she approached her uncle's secretary.
-Bonjour Cécile, le directeur m'attend. (Hey, Cecile. The director is expecting me).- Sophia said as she smiled at the woman at the desk in front of her.
-Oui, agent Dumont. Accorde-moi un instant. (Yes, agent Dumont. Give me a moment)- Cecile picked up the phone and called Pierre. After just a few seconds, she hung up.
-Vous pouvez entrer maintenant. (You can go inside now).- She said that, and after Sophia thanked her she went inside.
Once she was inside the office, she saw her uncle, along with a few other men sitting around a table in his meeting room. When she was inside, she closed the door behind her and approached the table.
-Sir.- She said while standing straight with her hands clasped one in front of the other.
-Agent Dumont, please take a seat.- Pierre said while signaling her to take a seat in the chair next to his. She was going to ask him who were the people in there with him, but it seemed like he read her mind as he continued. - These are friends from the UN. Ambassador Bongani Kanumba, from Ethiopia and Dubaku Okoro, ambassador of Wakanda.
-Miss.- Both Ambassadors said at the same time, sending a polite nod to Sophia.
-Gentlemen, pleasure to meet you.- Said Sophia while returning the gesture.
-Likewise, Miss Dumont. Director Badeaux has told us a lot of great things about you.- Bongani Kanumba said.
-He says you are the best agent this company has ever seen.- Dubaku said while sending a polite smile towards Sophia and Pierre.
