The sound of the sport car pulling up outside was the last thing Theo needed or wanted. She was just now finishing her last client for the day, and was itching to get home for some relaxation. She stepped out from under the truck hoisted above her, peering out into the parking lot to see a rather nice silver Aston Martin parked across three spots. She couldn't help but smile; she'd recognize that car anywhere. Just the idea of her friend coming to visit had her excited, and she took a few steps towards the vehicle. She halted in her steps, however, when a rather tall man with bright blue eyes stepped out with a smirk. Definitely not her friend.
"Can I help you?" He arched a brow, and she held back her famous eye roll. People around here had adjusted to the idea of an American in the area, but clearly he was expecting something else.
"Yes, I'm looking for Theo." He pointed to the sign above the garage and gave what he must have figured was a charming smile. She arched a brow as he continued. "I'm here for some upgrades to my vehicle."
"Well, I'm Theo. As for upgrades, I recognize the car, but not you." Defensive seemed like the best option. After all, she'd left her gun in the office, not expecting to find a stranger in her favorite project car. He gave a chuckle, offering a hand that she gave a dirty look to.
"James Bond. A pleasure to meet you." The name rang a bell; her friend had mentioned it a couple times when he'd stopped by to visit. The man in front of her had retracted his hand, though that damn smile was still on his face. "Q sent me, said to tell you he was terribly sorry he couldn't make it himself." She stayed silent, remembering her warning from Q and his bosses. Anyone could roll up at any time. Without the code, she wasn't going to budge on the matter. The man sighed, rolling his eyes skyward as his smile faded just a bit. "Right. Bravo-November-5-7-Foxtrot-3." Her eyebrows went up in surprise, but she nodded and started for the garage.
"Bring the car over. We'll have it upgraded quickly, Mr. Bond." Theo didn't turn even as she heard the car start up and follow her into the available bay. Bond stepped out, and she was quick to lift the car with the hydraulic lift. He stood nearby, not once taking his gaze off of her. Theo briefly wondered why Q hadn't come; his dorky jokes and quips would be welcome at this point. "This won't take long, Mr. Bond. You can wait in the office, if you'd like." He nodded, and she turned to her work. Normally, she would have taken her time with the car, but she didn't like the vibe she got off that Bond guy. As if confirming her worries, he dragged her behind a pillar just before she could finish.
"Stay quiet." She moved to struggle away, he gaze landing on the gun in his hand. He wasn't looking at her, instead having those blue eyes trained towards the doors. She was ready to retort when she heard something zip past their heads and embed into the wall behind them. She froze, eyes widening; bullets. Someone was shooting up her shop. Bond returned fire as he dragged her towards the car. He dropped it, and she had to flinch at the sound of the vehicle slamming to the floor, before he tossed her in. Theo moved to the passenger seat, feeling around all the usual places for a gun. He climbed in after her and backed out, hitting something she was sure was a body, before peeling out and heading down the road.
