The story

The evening of December 23, Moreau, a reporter for Agence France-Presse (AFP), is asked by his editor to find out why Fèvre-Berthier, the French delegate to the United Nations, did not attend that day's meeting of the General Assembly. Moreau talks to McKimmie, an information officer at the UN, who does not know anything, but mentions Fèvre-Berthier's family is also trying to find the diplomat, and then Fèvre-Berthier's secretary, who suggests he may be with a woman, but does not know who or where. At a dead end, Moreau asks his friend Delmas, an alcoholic tabloid photographer, for help.
