1. Bob Nicholls:

   We went through the kitchen and into this conference room. What we hadn't realized was there were around a 150 people there as there had been a conference, we barricaded the doors, the elevator on our floor so no one could get up. I had my guys stationed outside, we were feeling confident. The last thing these guys would expect was a bunch of mad South Africans with meat cleavers.
