I. New Game

Victor sat behind his mahogany desk as he watched his computer generate another random list of players for his new game. Victor let out a disappointed sigh, the last group of players had performed poorly and the games had only lasted eighteen hours, his investors had been rather disappointed in the performance of his players.

Victor was brought out of his thoughts as he heard a knock as his office door opened.

"Mr. Bishop, is the new list ready?"

Victor looked at his assistant Gabriel and smiled "Almost. Due to the poor performance of the last group I've reprogrammed the list generator to include more players with unique and challenging backgrounds."

"Have you selected a new venue for the players?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes, we're going to use the island this time." Victor replied.

"Very well sir, how shall we go about capturing the new players?"Gabriel questioned.

"We'll send extraction teams after the targets," Victor stated.

"Very well sir. How should the motivators be selected?" Gabriel asked.

"Same principal as previously, either the targets spouse,child, family member or friend," Victor remarked as his stood up from his desk and handed the list over, "Take this to the cyber team and have them start pulling the targets information so the extraction teams can round them up."

"Yes sir," Gabriel replied as he made his way out of his boss's office and down the hall towards the cyber room.


Gabriel opened the doors and began to command the unit. "Listen up everybody we have a new list, Mr. Bishop wants them fully vetted and their profiles made ready for the extraction teams."

Once everyone was seated and ready, he assigned the random six social security numbers to each hacker and let them compile the data that was needed on each of the individuals.

Gabriel watched as six names matching the social security numbers appeared on the center screen along with each numbers current area of residence. After reading over the names,Gabriel had one of the hackers print out a copy of the list as he returned to his boss's office.


Gabriel knocked on the door and waited until he was told to enter. As soon as he heard the command to enter, he opened the door,"Sir the profiles and the extraction team are ready, we're waiting on your command to begin the process."

"Good,who are our new players?" Victor asked.

Gabriel looked down at the list of names and began to read them off one by one, "Jacob Williams located in Baltimore, Maryland; Christopher Arden located in Kansas City, Kansas; Kimberly Lawson located in Detroit, Michigan; David Wright located in Austin, Texas; Georgia Patterson located in Mobile Alabama, and John Warren located in New York, New York."

"Excellent I have a feeling that our new group of players will give my guest more of a challenge and provide me with more entertainment," Victor smiled as he dismissed Gabriel from his office.

Victor stood up, as Gabriel left his office, then walked over to his expensive collection of Brandy,and poured himself a glass. He had already confirmed his invite list and his guests where scheduled to meet him on the island in forty eight hours.

Victor cracked his neck and let a sinister smirk split his lips as he muttered aloud, "Let the games begin."
