"Mr. Fourniret, if he hears me, if he hears this report: 'Tell us where the body is!'", Launches Tony, already an employee of the town hall when Estelle was kidnapped. He knows perfectly well the path she takes on returning from school, the same as that of her own children. He even collaborates in the police investigation as this event haunts him.
"We find that we can have a solution to mourn!" Continues Tony. "Me, that's what I want because we drooled at Guermantes with it. I knew the mom, the dad, it's like it's a family what! I live badly with that. And my kids don't live well with it. "
"It was time"
Because in Guermantes, even the youngest are steeped in drama. Manon lives near the former home of the grieving family. His parents told him about the affair all his childhood. "We go through paths that are a little behind, so necessarily we are afraid of being kidnapped or being raped," said the young woman.
"Me, I needed to be accompanied by my father. There, to know that it was him and that he confessed things, that reassures. We advance, at least", continues Manon. "It was time," said a neighbor. For 17 years, he has not seen children walking alone on the street.
