"Good descision kid," Agent K2 pats Jim on the back. "And your gonna get stuck straight in. Follow me!" He leads Jim through one of the side doors and down a corridor which the bisects another. These halls are a hive of activity. Jim spots many famous people, obviously MIBs in disguise, along with others who, like K2, have their masks removed but their fake skins on. K2 nods to many of them, and swaps a joke with a black guy wearing the fabulous body of a Chinese-American woman wearing black leather jeans and low-cut white T-shirt.

We know that one of their agents is impersonating one of the swimsuit models booked for a shoot in Hawaii. The reason they are doing this is because part of the shoot will take place in the naval yard at Pearl Harbour. The agent wishes to take pictures of our new submarines that a moored there; maybe even get on board. You and I will attend the photoshoot as two of the other models and uncover the Russian. I have selected Ms. Schiffer, but we'll have to choose another for you. Once we're both suited up, a snatch squad will pick up both our models and we'll be substituted." K2 taps a technician on the shoulder. "Tell me, whose on the photoshoot?" Tapping his screen, the tec replies.....
