19 New Boss (1/2)
In a large conference room, the group of 5 women and one man sat at an oval table, looking at two figures against the wall flanking either side of a projection screen.
”Okay, now that everyone is here, it's time for introductions. My name is Raine, and I'll be the direct contact with the main BKN office in Putrajaya. My liaison and the head of this think-tank is Rick Ahmad here,” Raine gestured to the tall man standing with her, ”and he will be your direct report.Our job here is to take information from various sources and look for overall patterns that will assist in protecting our country, and I thank you in advance for your help in this.All of you have been carefully chosen for your expertise and knowledge; I know this will be an enjoyable challenge.Now let's introduce ourselves, starting on the right side.”
All eyes looked at Meaghan as she stood and carefully avoided looking at Rickie.
”My name is Meaghan; I normally work for a distribution company here in Kuching. I know English and French, with a smattering of Chinese, and have a four-year degree in marketing.” She sat down.
One by one, the rest of the team stood and gave a little description: Shilah, who was a translation expert in Mandarin and standard Chinese; Jennifer, a computer science and internet expert; Annie, a system analyst, Maya, a sociologist specialising in population movements; and others. The introductions continued around the table until ultimately Rickie was left. He looked at each person in turn, his eyes warming when they reached Meaghan, making her squirm uncomfortably in her seat.
”I am Rick Ahmad; I have a background that includes employment in both the government and secular fields. As such, I have the final review for anything we find that needs to be sent to the command staff. I look forward to working with you all. I intend to meet with each of you individually over the next day or so.” Raine then stepped forward again.
”Several of our sources are only identified by their credentials and will be periodically sending data to us for analysis. They will be sent directly to the individuals identified in your information packets. Are there any questions at this time?”
No one raised a hand.

”Then, just orient yourselves with the information and each other, and we will begin in earnest tomorrow.” Meaghan waited until everyone had stood up and were milling around before she made her way to the doors and freedom.
”Isn't he cute?” exclaimed Maya to several murmurs of assent. Meaghan privately agreed, glancing back to where the ”he” they were talking about stood at ease, talking with one of the workers.
