Meeting of the minds

High above the skies was a 757 jumbo jet, carrying passengers from Ramstein AFB Germany, outside the window, looked a woman who remark, "Look at the canoe shaped windows, they are of blue, yellow and red, in color."

As another said, "Don't you know, that is the UN building."

Inside, all the spies were led into the auditorium, as an advisor said "Through these doors, take a seat and we will begin."

The doors opened to see these curved like seating. It was like it was going to a live play. All filed in, some marveled at seating configuration, while others could care less. Jack found his way in and sat alone in the back. Someone up at the podium said, "Quickly take your seats, let's go, please," as that Advisor left.

Jack saw on the stage, a door slide open, and two older men came out, one wrote on the chalk board while the other was at the podium, to say, "Welcome spies, from all over the world, my name is Professor Claude Benz, I'm from Germany, and my partner is Professor Gustave Goins he is from France, we will be speaking in English, for those who seek some translation, place on your headsets now, and this will be translated to your native tongue."

"Look up at the chalk board, we have the current world rankings for spies, but with this turn out and any one of this spots could be up for grabs. this where it currently stands, "Number one, is Vadim Adonis, of Russia, Number two, Alexei Putin, of Russia as well, of the famous Putin dynasty, Number three, Chu," is from Japan. Number four, is, Hendon Aziz, from Iran." "Number five is Thomas Jones, of the famed British, secret air service, or SAS for short." "Number six is Jonathon Razor, from France." "Next number seven, Alexander Yashin, from Russia." "Number eight, Chung, from China, Next up is Number nine, is Tad Jones, son of famed Thomas, from Britain." "And Number ten, is Louie Bellini, from Italy. For the rest of you, some we may have heard of you, but to be a member, you need to be pledged in, by someone of the known, some of you operate as a spy in your own countries, that the UN has no real control over such as the United States, Canada, and Russia, for that group, well their simply left to do as they please. Mark my words, you can look around the room, at the older agents and you ask yourself what are they doing different, than yourself, or are not really in the game at all, the current life span of a true working spy is two years, after that you're looking over your shoulder, for those wanting to take down the best, and even today in this room there is probably some sort of retribution from the Russians, so they think, over the debacle from the kidnapping of Victoria Ecklon, problem is what US and UN investigator found down below."

"Hush" said the other Professor.

The Professor Benz composed himself to say, "We will start out with a pre-qualifier, to insure that you can qualify to be a spy, tomorrow morning, there will be a fundamental race against the clock, those that qualify will be told so, and may come back here".

"Let's talk about tomorrow, we are trying to create real world situation, by having you go through a few test's put on by the SAS, and in coordination with the UN, several other detachments also will be there to assist, so for the time being, we are through till tomorrow, exit through those doors, and you will be shown where you will stay. Good bye and good luck."

Everyone got up and filed out, as Jack followed in order, as he saw some Russian's together, as they went through a tunnel, down ward, to an open door, to Quanson huts, for one tough SAS member said," Between the four huts, is a bunk, take a bunk, anyone, there all the same, Jack went to the furthest one, in a hut by itself and waited, as time passed it filled up with 89 others. He was in the back, a signup sheet, was placed up, for all to hear, "Put your name down at the time you wish to do this?"

Jack got up and went to the board, as people were putting 1pm down, he chose 8 am, he figured to get it over with and went back to his bunk and rested.

Meanwhile another jumbo jet landed, and taxied, and pulled in next to prop plane, it dropped its ramp, and over one hundred and twenty women exited, along with the support teams and Jim saw Debby, the two embraced, and kissed, for her to say, "Looks like I'm here to help out". Then she told him what was going on. "The UN has decided to open this competition up to the women. So there are these, our top twenty, plus anyone else may try out for this, such as Jill, and Gia?"

"I'll let them know" said Jim, to add, "What about you, what are your plans?"

"I guess I don't know yet, we will play it by ear," said Debby, to add, "I wouldn't mind going back in?"

The strike team was called for assembly, for Jim to say, "Jill and Gia, I was just informed that the UN is opening up the competition to women, do you all want to participate?"

"I don't know, what did Jack say?" asked Jill.

"That's just it, you're here to train as spies, so I think he would say yes" said Jim.

"Then count me in", said Jill, as Gia said, "Why not, how hard can this be, as the two looked over at the other US women, some they knew, others not so much, for Jim to say," Drop your gear and weapons, and follow the girls in." Jim, motioned for them to go, as they dropped their gear and handed Brian their weapons. Jill and Gia followed the girls into the UN, as one by one, they took their turn, undressed, and redressed in the UN gear, for one senior UN lady to say, "This is nothing compared to these super spies, what is their credit limit?" she asked her advisor.

He said, 100, thousand, and a daily of five hundred on per diem card." She turned to see Jill, to say, "The red card is your expense card, and white is per diem, such as for the base store, and mess, now move along."

After all two hundred plus, went through processing, they were all led to their floor, where Jill saw, Michelle, and went into a room, took a seat next to her, as she saw several other girls from the plane.

An advisor, came in and introduced himself as Professor Gustave Goins, said, "Ladies take a seat, thank you, all of you have some sort of affiliations with the men, that are the spies, for those that are purely the wives, and don't want to participate, stand up and proceed through those doors, where you'll be waiting to hear if your men have qualified, for those of you who are spies, and...
