FROM: DIRECTOR
IMPORTANCE: Critical
nbsp;
SUBJECT:nbsp;nbsp;Specimen Retrieval
nbsp;
TARGET: Shadowy hunter-killer teams, ID'ed vianbsp;signature killsnbsp;worldwide. Identifiable onlynbsp;by skull-spine removal from victims. No witnesses, no forensics, no particular race targeted. On rare occasions, scraps of what appear to be playing cardsnbsp;found at murder sites.
nbsp;
OBJECTIVE: Locate and capture any member of such teams. MUST be taken alive for study and observation.
nbsp;
AUTHORIZATION APPROVED FOR USE OF OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR:nbsp;Individual ID'ed only as "Cross" and his team.nbsp;A pure mercenary outfit,nbsp;well known throughoutnbsp;criminal underworld--no inside informants available.nbsp;Ruthless, undeterred by risk, rumored never to fail, but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES to be trusted.nbsp;No known political or social objective, butnbsp;has provennbsp;treacherous when retained by government in the past.
nbsp;
UPDATE: Cross and his team claim to havenbsp;identified a patternnbsp;to the signature-kills, andnbsp;believe theynbsp;can predict a forthcoming strike.nbsp;Theynbsp;are prepared to personally confront-and-capture,nbsp;but financial arrangementnbsp;alone not sufficient. What you describe as anbsp;"Get Out of Jail Free" card is hereby APPROVED.
