The Medusa Plot[]
In the prologue of the Medusa Plot, Nellie Gomez is kidnapped by the Vespers in Paris. It was 2:42 P.M. in the Central European Time Zone. Nellie was taking a month long class in French cuisine at Academie Gastronomique, she loved the city with its Roman ruins and Louvre, Les Fraises was her favorite sidewalk. However, at the moment of the Cahill kidnappings, a waitress served her a chocolate-strawberry croissant with a stranger white powder on it. She didn't think too deeply about, she just assumed it was sugar, she loved Paris' food. Yet after one bite, the powder exploded and knocked her unconscious. Then, Vesper disguised themselves as paramedics arrived in an ambulance at the cafe and took her away to avoid suspicion to anyone around. After Ned Starling informed him of what happened in Tel Aviv, William McIntyre called Cahill connections at Academie Gastronomique, who told him that they found out about what happened at the cafe, but Nellie was never reported to any area hospital.
