Later that night, 9:04 P.M.


_________________________________________________


The corridors are quieter in HQ. Everyone is busy in their corner and the night has already fallen and made way for a lighter and rested atmosphere. The Amélie et Sombra's quarters are still active.


Lying in bed with a book in her hand, Amélie kills time. Right next to her in bed, Sombra is also lying down, a holoscreen in front of her, a smile on her face. Amélie turns her gaze to Sombra and her screen, and addresses her : 



What makes you laugh so much, tell me ? (Answer Amélie by closing her book on her finger to keep her page and rest it on her knees.)

- Ha, if you'd see what I see. It's crazy the hilarious things that can be seen by looking through people's search history. (Answer Sombra laughing and leaning towards Amélie.)

- What a kind approach to search people's privacy.

- It's not really people's private lives, the internet is public after all, they just have to delete their searches if they are ashamed of it, it allows me to laugh at night.

- What a lovely person you make. (Answer Amelie by gently pushing the head of Sombra on her opposite side.)

- Pushing me won't change anything, Captain. You know very well that it will soon be your turn.

- I don't care, I have nothing to hide.

- You sure you don't care ?

- Absolutely. 

- Why did you close your book to lean over me and look at my screen if you don't care ?

- I have no interest in your frivolous activities.



Sombra looks Amélie straight in the eyes for several seconds then Amélie breaks the silence.



Okay. . . maybe I'm interested in that a little bit.

- Here, look at the search history of our dear friend Mauga. And then it's me who has futile activities ? (Answer Sombra by approaching Amélie by passing her arm around her shoulders.)

- He's such a fool.

- " How to win the hearts of women in a few words " It looks like the research of a pre-pubic. It's hilarious.

- He does the opposite, he makes women run away. (Say Amélie.)

- Even I can do it, even without trying. (Answer Sombra by turning her head to Amélie.)

- " How to win the hearts of  girls with catch phrases " Well, it's unexpected. (Say Amélie while scratching her head.)

- Ha, how interesting. 

- I'm already tired of reading such uninteresting infos. (Answer Amélie by diving back into her book.)

- You're right, such useless and uninteresting news that you enjoyed reading it with me. (Answer Sombra by getting up on the bed and go over Amélie to get out of bed.)
