This idea is a lot more straight forward than the last couple CPs. The idea is simple. The girl is spying on the two guys.<\/p>\n

My first thought is they\u2019re in Paris because of her beret and the caf\u00e9. Not sure if I\u2019ll stick with Paris but it\u2019ll definitely be a European\/overseas setting, not in the US.<\/p>\n

My working idea is the guys are CIA. Probably working out of whatever embassy this country is. I\u2019m thinking they\u2019re new to the scene, like this is a new post for them and they\u2019re getting settled into their new life here.<\/p>\n

The easy route for the girl is, she works for The Racines, not a government agency, especially if this is set in Paris. Now I say easy in the sense that it ties this idea into other ideas I\u2019ve laid the groundwork instead of making this all brand new.<\/p>\n

Maybe the guys are Special Operations Group (SOG) for CIA and have just arrived in town as part of an ongoing op. Maybe this op is going to cause problems for The Racines and the girl has been sent to either gather intel on them or stop them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m leaning toward the idea that she\u2019s a rookie new to The Racines and is slowing building up her skill set. So maybe stick with the intel idea as she probably wouldn\u2019t be able to take them in a fight (yet).<\/p>\n

Another thought is to do a 180 again and the guys are mercenaries up to something and she\u2019s a CIA agent who is a rising star in Langley, and has been sent to take these guys out, which in this scenario, she would have the skills to take them out.<\/p>\n

Maybe we could even combine her with other ideas to flesh her out\/build her up. Make her more of a recurring character not just someone completely new.<\/p>\n

I think both ideas could work well, though I do like the Racine angle as it would be interesting to see the dynamics of them working against the CIA. A bold move for them for sure.<\/p>\n
