The park was dark and moderately cold with only a few lamps placed sparingly along the walkway. Wooden benches were put between these lamps for the runners to take breaks during the day or the occasional homeless person to sleep for the night, using only newspaper for a blanket. On one of these benches sat a man, seemingly about to fall asleep. As another man started to walk in that direction, he seemed to suddenly realize where he was and placed his hands on the bench to get up. As he walked away, the other man came to that bench and sat down. Looking in the seat, there was a note strategically placed where the man’s hands were previously placed.
Joe,
Your assignment will be sent to you soon.
                                                -W
Joe rose from the bench, placed the note in a trashcan and walked away. After a few moments, the note burst into flame and turned into ashes.
The next morning, Joe woke up, got dressed then checked the mail. Attached to the back of the mailbox was a small, black box. He quickly went inside and placed his hands on the wall. A built in scanner beeped and let him into a hidden room. He walked down five flights of steps and through a long hallway into a large room. In the room, there was a simple table, three chairs and two other hallways leading out. Joe heard the sound of approaching footsteps from the two other hallways. From the first hallway, came a woman. Her slender body seemed model-like and the stylish clothing was form-fitting. From the other one came a man dressed in camouflage pants and a white t-shirt. Muscles bulged seemingly from every part of his body. His hair was buzzed into a military style cut. Joe had on a black button-down shirt and a pair of well-fitting jeans. His hair was combed back in a classy manner.
The other man and the woman both had boxes similar to Joe’s. They each placed their box on the table in front of their respective chairs. The table opened up and the boxes went through. The wall in front of them flipped over and revealed a blank television screen.  Suddenly an image of a man appeared on the screen. Under it listed his name as well as all known information about him.
His name is Don Miller. He is a suspected member of an organization of criminals called the Men of Action. They have been seen on collecting possible materials to build an unknown weapon. Don may be a vital member for this project or even a leader for the organization. His last known location is in Paris. He has been spotted with other possible members of the group at a shipyard. There is a world leader convention going on there in a week. Your mission is to keep an eye on him and make sure the convention runs smoothly.
“Open everything,” Joe ordered in a commanding tone of voice. Most of the walls flipped around, revealing an assortment of weapons gear. Walls opened up into another room. In this room, there were even more weapons as well as an assortment of vehicles. On a table in the room, there were stacks of money from different nations around the world. They each grabbed a duffle bag and started packing tools, weapons, sets of cloths and thousands of dollars in Euros. They put their bags in a mini-jet and started out along their underground runway.
