FOZ DO IGUACU, BRAZIL

Kurtz stepped off the bus and groaned as he stretched his legs and scanned the surroundings. He had been onboard the smelly rattling bus for almost twenty-four hours and was in desperate need of some food, a shower, and a drink. It was mid-afternoon and he hadn’t even had breakfast yet.

Grabbing his bag from where the driver dumped it on the curb, he walked down the dusty street. From what he could see Foz do Iguacu was a bit of a dump. His research had led him to believe it was a mecca for tourists keen to see the nearby Iguacu falls. In reality it looked run down, filthy, and industrial. There were a couple of people on the street, a few cars, and a mangy dog that started following him.

He walked past a tire repair shop and stopped in front of the Hotel Nacional. The five-story square building was painted a bright shade of flamingo pink with blue bars over the lower level windows. It took him a few minutes to arrange a room. After a quick shower and a bite to eat he purchased a new mobile phone from a shop across the road.

He rang the local number he’d scribbled on a piece of paper. The man who answered gave him directions to another location not far away. He hailed a passing cab and within a few minutes was standing out the front of a rented house that the Escape not-for-profit was using as an operating base.

He knocked and a young guy opened the door. Kurtz immediately summed him up as ex-military. He wore a thick beard, scruffy hair, a tank top, and a pair of cut-off cargo pants as shorts.

“I'm Arnie,” he said with a British accent.

“Kurtz.” He shook his hand and followed him to the living room where three other men were sitting on couches and drinking beer.

“Lads, this is Kurtz,” said Arnie. “He’s joining us after working in Rio with Break Away.”

The men introduced themselves and he took a seat. One of them offered him a beer and he savored the first taste of the ice-cold amber liquid.

“You just get in, mate?” one of the men asked. Like Arnie he had a British accent.

“Yes, caught the bus from Rio.”

“Ripper innit?”

“No, it was most unpleasant.”

The men laughed as Kurtz swigged from his bottle. Arnie picked up a remote control and switched on a flat screen TV that had a laptop plugged into it.

“Kurtz, we've been working on this one for quite a while so I wanted to take the opportunity to brief you in.” He pressed a remote button and a map appeared. “This is the location of a brothel on the outskirts of town that deals mainly in underage girls.”

As Arnie ran through what essentially was a detailed set of orders Kurtz found himself smiling. This was more like the team environment he missed. A close-knit group of professionals, who planned in detail, rehearsed, then executed their raid with efficiency. Finally, he had found somewhere he could forget PRIMAL and make a difference.
