Together, they are led by those forces to kidnap impoverished children from South American countries. The children are to be the foundation for their newly-formed gospel and church.

The priest is known to the Team as Father Joseph Bastone. They believe that he has been sent by the Vatican to corral the monsignor and nun before they can do anymore harm.

She comes from a well-established and wealthy family. An unfortunate incident in her youth led her to become a mercenary, and she is as deadly as she is beautiful. Chloe's orders are to haunt the Team and evaluate their tactics as they run their rescue operation. When she is finished observing the Team, she is to report her findings to Bastone. Unbeknownst to the loner within Chloe, Bastone has plans for everyone to work together as one Team on future assignments. As the final struggle approaches, the Team will fight global anarchy by blending their passionate faith with style and purpose.
