It was June 23rd, 1951. The agent who procceded James Bond 007 was crouching, rifle in hand. It was fixed with a sniper scope and a silencer. He aimed where he had been aiming for the past six hours. He had been waiting here, assigned by MI6 to stop the trading of stolen nuclear batteries. So far, these were the only of its kind in existence. Alkili batteries there as well, MI6 said, Phd 12. It was said that it would take place here. His name? No-one used thier real names in M16 code, so he was given the name 005. 005 was what everyone called him. He was trained not to fall asleep on the job as a secret agent, his record being 305 hours, enough to give anyone else at least serious brain damage. He was also trained to make next to insantaneous decisions, the safest and quickest decision, the one that had only neccesary bloodshed. He also was used to very inclosed environments, more MI6 training. And here he was now, holding a silenced sniper rifle, waiting.
A black uniformed man with 5 very large crates came into view. 005 could see him now, a clear shot. A helicopter came down, one that was waiting for him, and another black uniformed man, this time with armor. It was obvious that he was the leader.
"So, you have the batteries?"
"Yes, I have retrieved all 20 in this area."
"Good. We begin on area C in 12 hours. Now hand them over."
005 took this oppurtunity to shoot. He aimed for the first man's leg. Instantly he realised why he shouldnt have. It alerted both men to his position. Not as much as a problem as the fact that now the helicopter could fly away with the batteries. The leader took the batteries and flew away, leaving the henchman on the ground.
005 sprinted over to the henchman that he shot in the leg. He was sprawled onto the ground, holding his leg like he would never let go. 005 grabbed the man by the collar and made sure his full attention was on him.
"Where is he taking the batteries?"
The poor man whimpered in fear. "I dont know. He told me to transport the batteries and I would get paid. That is all I know, I swear!"
005 looked at him with a somewhat satisfied but dissapointed face. "Alright then." And with that he aimed for the man's face and pulled the trigger.
