In his world nothing is what it seems...
French by birth, Laurence-Jacques Fournier never really considered himself as appertaining to a specific nation. Laurence is a free bird. He also runs an international mix of thieves, but not just common thieves. They are the elite of all kinds and methods, stealing anything and everything from jewelry to art, industrial and political secrets to top secret military projects and, of course, armaments, which are extremely profitable on the black market.
Brussels is the group’s temporarily established headquarters for a very good reason; as the headquarters to the European Union and NATO, Brussels is the ultimate European city often referred to as The Capital of Europe. Aside from the splendid and varied architectural styles, Brussels also hosts over eighty museums, numerous tourist attractions, a vibrant nightlife with more restaurants and clubs than one could count, but mostly important, the largest armory in Western Europe. And that’s exactly what attracted Laurence and his group of thieves.
In turn, however, they attract the attention of a very powerful and secretive multi-national organization. Perhaps EU’s secret watchful eye. No one knows whom it reports to, no one seems to have solid proof that it even exists. If it’s even real, it’s very secret and everyone is afraid to talk about it. There’s rumor about the Belgian and Austrian governments suggesting the creation of a European Union intelligence service modeled on the CIA, but like usual, the interior ministers of the top five European countries were unwilling to agree on how to share intelligence with all the other states members. So as far as everyone knows, the proposal died there.
