American expat Kate Moore drops her kids at the
international school, makes her shopping rounds, and
meets her husband Dexter at their regular café: a
leisurely start to a normal day, St-Germain-des-Prés.
Across the Seine, tech CEO Hunter Forsyth stands on his
balcony, perplexed that his police escort just departed,
and frustrated that his cell service has cut out; Hunter
has important calls to make, not all of them technically
legal.
And on the nearby rue de Rivoli, Mahmoud Khalid climbs
out of an electrician’s van, and elbows his way into the
crowded courtyard of the world’s largest museum, in the
epicenter of Western civilization. He sets down his metal
briefcase, and removes his windbreaker.
That’s when people start to scream.
Everyone has big plans for the day. Dexter is going to
make a small fortune, finally digging himself out of a
deep financial hole, via an extremely risky investment.
Hunter is going to make a huge fortune, with a major
corporate acquisition that will send his company’s stock
soaring. Kate has less ambitious plans: preparations for
tonight’s dinner party—one of those homemaker obligations
she still hasn’t embraced, even after a half-decade of
this life—and an uneventful workday at the Paris
Substation, the clandestine cadre of operatives that
she’s been running, not entirely successfully,
increasingly convinced that every day could be the last
of her career. But every day is also a fresh chance to
prove her own relevance, never more so than during
today’s momentous events.
And Mahmoud? He is planning to die today. And he won’t be
the only one.
