Challenge #04723-L341: La Resistance

An undercover agent deep behind enemy lines. The radio is broken. The phones are dead. The gun is still warm, the crime scene fresh. And the contact is 6 hours late. Has the agent been double crossed, left for dead, or worse? -- Deathshead419

Good news, bad news, good news... Good news, the gun still had ammo, and she was smart enough to pick it up with gloved hands. If the occupiers were looking for clues, they wouldn't find a hint of her. Gloria could take the gun for defence, but... it would also be something to tie her to the scene.

The corpse on the floor was Gloria's contact. Still warm, but not very warm Six hours, perhaps, since he had become the late Martin Boutonniere.

Whoever had killed him had taken some of the more interesting plans, but missed where Martin had hidden the list of names. Gloria found it intact and undisturbed in its hiding place. She removed it, and put everything back the way she'd found it. On the way out, she locked the door. She'd hid the key where anyone might hide a spare key to the apartment.
