Then James gets assigned to a mission with Kerry, Nicole and Kyle with Ewart and Zara Asker as his mission controllers. His target is a drug dealer called Keith Moore, who runs KMG (Keith Moore's Gang), the biggest drug distribution gang in England. He gets friendly with Keith's son, Keith Jr.(Junior) and works his way up in KMG, gaining Keith's trust.
Keith invites James to visit his holiday home in Miami along with him and Junior. Before he goes to Miami, James goes back to campus for additional training with Amy. He is then flown to Miami, where he takes down one of the biggest drug dealers in the world.
