Chapter 1

There are over ten thousand criminals at large in the world, terrorists, arms and drug dealers, paedophiles to name a few. Some were caught and tried but somehow cunningly escaped prison by either flaws in the legal systems in their countries, or by key witnesses mysteriously disappearing. The United States government along with the British government and International Police had put together an elite team of four highly trained young women to help eradicate these criminals by any means necessary.

Bette Porter, code-name Hardcore and leader of the team. Her speciality, explosives. She was attached to the United States Marine Corp for five years as a demolition expert, deactivating and constructing of explosive devices.

Helena Peabody, code-name Einstein. Her speciality, intelligence. She was attached to the British Secret Intelligence Service where she worked as a Software Engineer. She was recruited to the Central Intelligence Agency and has been an agent for the past two years.

Shane McCutcheon, code-name Ninja. She was given the name when she was in boot camp. She was orphaned at a very tender age of two. Her adoptive parents were members of the local circus as magicians, from which she picked up a few tricks, many of which weren’t put to good use. As a means of punishment her parents enlisted her to a boot camp run by the Los Angeles Police Department. She snuck out from the heavily guarded facility on many occasions undetected. She is now a detective attached to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Dana Fairbanks, code-name Hawkeye. Unlike the others, Dana hasn’t had any formal military or police training. She holds the gold medal for sharp shooting in both the Olympics and World Championships. She joined the Central Intelligence Agency and has been training for the past two years.

The three women joined Dana about one year ago to undergo extensive training in preparation for their first assignment. This elite team has been successfully functional to date. Although the numbers are still high, they have assassinated and in some cases retrieved information that has retarded plans of destruction by smaller terrorists cells around the world.

The girls received orders for another assignment. An arms and drug dealer living in Jamaica. He was known only as Don and is said to be in the mountains. It was their duty to track him down and cripple his entire organisation.
