“France prison van attack: Huge manhunt after prison officers killed in ambush”
By Laura Gozzi - 14.05.2024.
(Marseille, 10:54, yesterday):
Jean-Jacques strolls into the office at his regular time - five brioches in a brown paper bag, four minutes late.
“Salut,” he says. He is a round man, in his late forties, wearing a red tie. “I brought for everyone.” There is a quick round of thanks. He places the paper bag down between the clutter of telephones and desk organisers. The blinds are drawn. Good. It is hot today, and bright. The stone looks as though it has been washed with bleach. As he'd entered the building, the sorry, hopeful square around the metro tracks had been deserted, too. Something, undeniably, had felt... slightly surreal. A gut feeling. Hopefully, today is not another one of those days, when his experiences catch up with him, and he is right about one of those things he does not want to be right about. Suddenly, several telephones ring at once.
In that moment, everyone, from the forensics to the comms team, from the detectives to the co-ordinators - in that boxy, little, silver-blinded room - shares one deep, fundamental, and totally urgent feeling.
Good thing Jacques brought that brioche.
