Joseph Woo grinned. "Great one. Five from around the world."

Reese returned the smile as he switched off the lights and drew the curtain down.

Joseph switched on the overhead projector and a picture of a girl in a hot red Mazda Miata came into view. "Sandra Felicity McDermott. Caucasian American, 22, five-foot-six. Majoring Linguistic Programs, International Relation and Psychology. The lingua franca of the group. Speaks French, Spanish, German and Japanese very fluently. Kicks major butt with her boxing."

Joseph clicked the remote and a photo of a Latin guy flashed onto the screen. "Rivaldo Carlos. Argentinean, 21, six-foot-two. Majoring Computer and Mechanical Engineering. Able to open most locks in the world and break into any system there is in the net. Holds a black belt in karate."

With another click, a face of an African flashing his white teeth came into view. "Delson Gnu. South African, 22, six-foot-six. Majoring Electrical and System Engineering. Excels in similar ways as Carlos does and plays great with guns."

"Jose Reigosa. Italian, 22, six-foot-two. Majoring Chemistry, Physics and Mechanical Engineering. Experts in bombs and guns. A terrific driver and holds a black belt in karate."

Reese raised an eyebrow. "No Chinese? Both of us know well enough that the Chinese won't agree on this deal if there is no representative from their country."

Woo grinned another toothy grin. "As I was saying……." He paused, clicking on the remote. A picture of a Pan Asian girl came into view. "Adrienne Liew. Singaporean, 21, five-foot-ten. Majoring Chemical and Computer Engineering. Does well with chemical bombs, a star shooter and a computer expert. And……."

"The holder of the third-dan black belt in Tae-kwon-do," Reese continued. "Liew." His mind took him back ten years ago.
