In the heart of cheerful Belgium, on a morning that promised sunshine and the irresistible aroma of fresh chocolates, agents Dubois and Leclerc found themselves entangled in a situation far from favorable to their service record.
They were escorting inmates Isabelle Lefevre and Mathilde Maes from Leuven prison to the city's criminal court. The latter, two brilliant minds decidedly disinclined to follow protocol, had immediately sensed, with a shrewdness that honored their criminal profession, that recruits Dubois and Leclerc weren't exactly at the peak of their investigative game.
Perhaps it was their naivety, or maybe local proverbial morning fog, but a fatal moment of distraction presented itself as a golden opportunity. So, with a flash of genius and a speed worthy of Houdini, Lefevre & Maes seized the distracted moment for a nice change of clothes, leaving Dubois & Leclerc all the time in the world to enjoy the pleasant little wood of Rondevaux.
