MI6 Headquarters

M sighed. For the first time that day she managed to pull her eyes from the computer screen. She rubbed her temples and closed her eyes trying to block out the noise of the office outside. For a second she had peace and…..the shrill ring of the phone went off.

M's eyes flew open and she glanced at the caller id. The screen blinked SECRETARY. M pressed the speaker button.

"What is it?" M said tiredly.

"There's a-" M's secretary began.

"I'm telling you this urgent, just let me in." a male voice cut off.

M frowned as she listened to the secretary argue with the man. Moments later the door burst open and a man stumbled in. He was followed by M's apologetic secretary.

M recognized the man as Jack Bennett, one of the men on her MI6 team.

"Ma'am, I'm so sorry, I tried to stop him!" M's secretary spluttered.

"It's fine, leave us alone." M waved the secretary off, "Well Jack you better have a damn good reason for bursting in like that." M snapped.

"I do, I swear I do. We found her. We found Kay Gunn." Jack said breathlessly.

M mood changed immediately. Suddenly she was no longer tired.

"Where? How? No never mind forget that, tell me later. Contact James, I want him in here in twenty-four hours. Tell him he's got seventy-two hours to get Miss. Gunn in my office."

Somewhere in the Bahamas

James Bond was sitting on the beach holding Vesper's necklace in his hands. He started at the kids run across the beach; the couples playfully splashing each other. It all brought back memories. He didn't know why the hell he was there. She was dead, and he could care less. Or so he had brought himself to believe.

James stood up and brushed the sand off his pants. He glanced at the necklace and walked to where the sand faded in to the water. As each wave broke onto the sand, it brought another memory back. James clenched his fist and threw the necklace into the ocean. All his memories seemed to disappear along with necklace. He turned his back and walked away; never once did he look back.

James slid his card and the hotel door clicked open. He walked in and threw his jacket on the table. Without even turning on the light, he walked to the closet and pulled out his suitcase. He began to pack his clothes. He was halfway through when he heard the toilet flush.

James reached for his gun, and slid across the wall. He heard the door open and saw the light break through. A man's shadow was cast across the light. James saw the man emerge. In a blink of an eye, James had the gun pressed against the man's head. The man held his hands up in surrender. James reached over and flicked the light on.

"Don't…shoot. It's…me. Jack Bennett." Jack stuttered.

"What the hell are you doing here?" James said coldly.

"M sent me. We found Kay Gunn. She wants you back at MI6."

"She could have just called me." James said calmly.

James took a step back and dropped his gun. Jack swallowed audibly and let out a sigh. James walked back to his suitcase and finished packing. He stood up and slung his bag over his shoulder.

"Well then let's go." James said.
