For professional hitmen, each and every one of their job memories is a nightmare. They are haunted all their life by their victims, breaking into their dreams, screaming, until they wake up in cold sweat.
Fragment of memory begins with a politician’s funeral. It was a damp and cold afternoon; rain drizzling from the dusky sky. Many people arrived at the cemetery, representing the underworld as well as the legal world. A bloated man walked into the centre of picture, his name was George, known as “the Otter”, a well-known middleman, and good relationship in both worlds.

With two successive gunshots, the last bodyguard fell to the ground. Ogier ran through the woods at the back of the church and arrived at a road, while a BMW had been waiting for a long time, he rushed into it. Before Ogier could even sit tight, the car galloped away, and faded into the darkness…
