He asks Jack, out of their old friendship, to fly to Dubai and carry out 'a simple assignment.' All he has to do is meet a man named Nigel and take from him a 'parcel.' Jack reluctantly agrees and, together with his colleague Mike November, travels to the UAE. However the operation does not go according to plan: at the meeting with Nigel, he is killed, and Jack and Mike fall under crossfire from the intelligence services and mercenaries.
