Margery merely stared at Rose and Macy when they entered the room and then diverted her attention back to the others. When Mi spoke she scowled. She turned to Richard. "Really, dear, I did warn you about Mi, but you wouldn't listen, would you? The girl is rude, antisocial, greedy..."<br/><br/>"I remember a sixteen year old girl who was just as rude, just as antisocial. Perhaps you have forgotten her, Marge?"<br/><br/>The old woman blushed, and then her blush turned to anger. Before she could respond, though, Ivan spoke, Followed by Rachel. Both of them demanding answers.<br/><br/>It was Richard's turn to comment on recruitment skills. "And how about your choices, Marge? Impatient bunch I think, don't you?"<br/><br/>The two locked gazes. If stares could kill the pair would both have been very dead very quickly. It lasted a few seconds and then both faces simultaneously softened. They laughed.<br/><br/>Richard turned to the others. "Mi. I will be more than happy to compensate you once this first assignment is over."<br/><br/>"I'm sure you will..."<br/><br/>"Can it, Marge. I know you want answers, well here is your answer."  He handed around a photograph. It was of a naked girl lying on a mortuary slab. Strange, unidentifiable symbols had been cut into her breasts and her abdomen, just above her shaved sex. Her body was covered with strange, unnatural welts. It was as though a multitude of huge sucking mouths had attached themselves to various parts of her body and literally sucked the blood out of her. Her dead face was a mask of abject terror.<br/><br/>"This girl was run over by a businessman by the name of James Williams on a road just a few miles outside Cardiff. Mr Williams is currently receiving counselling. As you can see the nature of the girl's wounds are unusual to say the least. Needless to say, it wasn't the car that killed her.<br/><br/>You have all been chosen because of your unique skills. We have yet to see how you work as a team so we chose this to be your first assignment. Think of it as a prelude to being a permanent group. I'll be coming along for the ride but only as an observer, an advisor. We need to know what killed this girl and why. Any questions?"<br/>
