The Paris Agent

Montbéliard, France, December 1943

Josie and Noah prepare to sabotage the factory. Josie’s new boss does not want to compromise his family’s safety, but he despises the Germans. She learns that a factory retooling operation is underway and confirms the rumors that the factory will soon be building bombs. Upon learning this, she and Noah begin planning a sabotage operation. Tonight, a targeting plane will drop flares to mark out the factory for bombers.

Josie is eager for the factory bombing. She is fond of the French country folk, who have very kindly accommodated her dietary restrictions. She also realizes that she is falling in love with Noah; as they work together, he brings out the best in her, but neither of them has acknowledged their relationship although they are both aware of it The forced close proximity is only exacerbating their feelings of closeness. The first time they were together, Noah was in a relationship with Geraldine, but now, Noah is single. Josie decides that after the factory is shut down, she will confess her feelings to him. She and Noah head out to watch the plane and are horrified to see that it is in the wrong place.
