Li looked around the restaurant before he spoke again to make sure no one is nearby. He begin speaking in a low voice.

"Listen, my mother and father were killed by the policies of the Chinese governmnet in 2031. I'am looking to overthrow them, and I've started a underground resistance organization."

I would like someone like you to join me. I saw you fighting those guys in the alley before I intervened, and you are a skilled fighter. Where did you learn how to fight?"

"I studied karate back at home in the US, you respond."

"Well, I can't say I'm all that impressed with the rigid Japanese styles of martial arts, but your skills are most impressive," Li replied.

"I want you to join my resistance group," he tells you. I want you to help me overthrow the Chinese government. Me and my girlfriend are both members, along with a few others. What do you think?"

You think long and hard for a moment. You realize you are stranded in a foreign country, and you can't get back home. You are sitting with a man who just saved your life, and you owe him.

At the same time, you've just met him, and you don't know him. Therefore it may not be wise to trust him. It is a tough decision, but you have to make a choice.
