Kirika and Mireille sat at a secluded table in a small cafe, carefully watching the front door.

"Exactly whom are we waiting for?" Kirika asked.

"The 'Late Mr. Pierre'," Mireille said.

"The 'Late Mr. Pierre'?" Kirika asked. "Why are we waiting to kill a man if he is already dead?"

"He isn't really dead," Mireille said. "That's his criminal alias. He's always late for everything."

"Oh," said Kirika.

A minute passed. Kirika childishly blew bubbles in her soda with her straw.

"I am so bored," Mireille said sadly.

Kirika held up a small box. "Travel Scrabble?"

Mireille sighed. "...yeah, alright."
