the group from the cliff’s edge.
    “What about us? There is not enough suits for everybody,” said Sato.
    James and Chad looked at all the squad members and then looked at each other as if a plan had come to mind. They tied up the hands of the group members who didn’t have a ninja uniform on, Sophie, Cody, Sato, and Alberto. James took Rick’s ninja gear and put it on. James had come up with the plan of marching down the cliff disguised in the ninja uniforms and pretend to have prisoners. This way they could gain access to the tower and roam freely without raising suspicion. It would also allow them time find out what the strange ninja group were up to in the tower. Chad had overheard some of the ninjas say that they invaded the island to specifically take control of the tower in order to obtain something from it. If squads A and D launched an assault on the tower, besides the fact they would be heavily outnumbered, they wouldn’t have the opportunity to look around and find out exactly what the ninja’s wanted to obtain. Only James and Chad thought this was a good idea though. The others were heavily against it, especially as they were the ones being used as bait.
    The twins didn’t mind, but then they were still disguised in ninja uniforms and pretty much went along with whatever Chad said. Also, Sato and Cody thought that the squads were going beyond the call of duty. This was after all an exam, and they were meant to be following the orders of the full members on site, not rescuing them. James and Chad were squad leaders though and part of the exam was to obey the squad leader’s commands so they really had no other choice.
    “This is the dumbest idea ever,” said Sato as James tied his hands together.
    “You hear that, he called you dumb,” Chad said, referring to James, who was the one that had first come up with the plan of a sneak attack, whilst using the others as bait. James was definitely the more organised out of he and Chad and it was, for this reason, he took control of strategy. Chad would rather have just stormed into the tower all guns blazing, which would have been fine for him and James, but the others wouldn’t have lasted long if the group launched an all out assault against the huge numbers of ninja’s likely to be inside the tower.
    The plan in full was for the group to gain access to the tower without causing a scene. They would then hand over their ‘hostages’ to the ninja’s inside the tower. James had deducted that the ninjas would lead the new hostages to the place where the other members were being held captive. This enabled the group to learn where their friends were being held, without having to waste time searching the tower themselves. Whilst all this was going on, James and Chad planned to slip off and investigate the tower further. Chad was intrigued to know what the ninjas had taken control of the tower for. James however just wanted to get their friends out and make their escape. Their mission was to take back control of the island from the enemy force, nothing more. Exploring why the ninja’s were here was not their concern but Chad insisted. James simply went along with it; he didn’t have a choice really. Chad was a squad leader on the exam, just like him, and they had to share decisions because of the capture of all other members. And I can’t be bothered with having another argument with him, thought James.
    “When you find the hostages, radio me quietly,” said James who had hooked up wires to the two twins. “Don’t make a move until we say so, understand?”
    The twins nodded. They were a little nervous if truth be told. This was the first time they had ever been involved in a live mission situation, and they hadn’t expected this type of scenario.
    Chad picked up on their nerves and stood in the middle of them. He put his arms around the pair trying to raise their spirits. “Don’t worry about a thing girls. I’m not going to let anything happen to
