Kate's Story (2)

When Kate asked why this foreign task wasn't assigned to the CIA, the answer she received was a confidential meeting with the president.

He told me that Congress didn't trust him enough, so he needed to make it visible for Congress to have oversight on how it is done.

She was the only one who graduated from college with the necessary language skills, so her team was selected for the mission.

With no other choices, she boarded a flight to Turkey, where her team met a German girl about her age and three Russian men.

She soon became good friends with the girl and developed a slight disdain for the three men, who seemed a little rude at first glance.

Just as we boarded the flight to China next, the plane attendants gave her a letter.

Inside the letter, she was to hand over her team along with all four of the people she had just met.

Kate eventually refused. But she soon received another letter upon landing in China.
