he woke up from the surgery with a very sore face
they told him it would take three weeks to heal
during that time he listened to recordings about his new identity
his new name was Michael Fowler
once his face was healed he started an intense training program
there was a lot of physical training to build up his strength and stamina
he was amused by the hand to hand combat classes
desperately hoping he would never have to kill anybody
he was tested every day on his new identity
answering questions about his background, childhood and education
he was surprised how quickly he learned to embrace his new persona
he even liked the new shape of his nose and chin
his basic training was soon over
he moved onto training for his first mission
he was going to be a charter captain in the luxury island of St Barths
it was a playground for the very rich including the Russian mafia
he would mingle with the other charter boats
taking small groups on day charters around the island
eventually he would have some Russian passengers
whose conversations would be monitored by intelligence officers back in the US
he flew into St Martin on a regular commercial flight
then took a small plane onto St Barths
the small island runway requires a deep diving decent over the hillside
he was relived when the small plane landed without running into the sea
he was told he would be met by a second member of his crew
he heard somebody in the small crowd say hello Michael
a beautiful woman held out her hand my name is Melissa she said smiling
he knew he was going to enjoy this mission
she drove him in an open top jeep to a small villa on the side of a mountain
this is paradise he said looking at the stunning views
Melissa smiled and said remember we have to play the part of a married couple
she pulled him close and kissed him passionately
