James was in the middle of a high-speed car chase in the middle of the Russian countryside when his car's SAT Nav. bleeped indignantly at him. James swore as he swerved around another corner, watching the black car ahead of him almost spin off as the driver jerked the wheel desperately and tore down another dirt road. Leaning over slightly, James tapped the screen and ground his teeth as Q's face appeared on the screen.

"Evening 007…or is it afternoon there?" the young man asked, staring up at him.

He was obviously watching talking to the large monitor and James could just see the top of his Quartermaster's laptop as he tapped absentmindedly at it, obviously tracking the car through his remote satellite device.

"In the middle of something here, Q." James grunted as he skidded around another turn "What do you want?"

Q tilted his head indignantly "Pleasure to see you too 007, might I remind you that you asked me to contact you as soon as I hacked into the mainframe."

James sighed deeply, lowering his head slightly in acquiescence "What did you find?"

"Your target-apart from having an enormous amount of horrific pornography-has access to a number of classified files from the Russian secret service. Most of it is focussed on one man named Victor Keizen; who is thought to be a corrupt official with numerous ties to the Mafia and other powerful syndicates. Turns out they actually have a lot of damning evidence against the fellow and are planning a huge raid on one of his suspected trafficking establishments. It seems your target intends to sell this information to the highest bidder-namely Keizen-in exchange for a large sum and a free ticket out of the country under a new identity."

"Which means that if I don't stop this guy, it's going to be a massacre when the Russians go to arrest them." James groaned as he hung out the window and fired a few shots toward the other car's back wheels before sliding back in and muttering "Fantastic."

"Not to mention the fact that MI5 will take the blame when they discover your target is a former agent, using our intelligence which we have acquired through frequent undercover operations." Q said haughtily, glancing down at his laptop.

"Thanks for reminding me." James sighed deeply "I'm guessing you know about every one of these operations?"

Q chuckled slightly, looking back up "I know everything. Do remember 007 that I basically run MI6; every agent has equipment that I have designed and built myself. I work with all the 00's, help every single undercover assignment they take part in. There's nothing I don't know and if I don't know, I find out."

James was tired of this prolonged chase by now and spoke quietly as he prepared to cut the other man off "You hack MI6?"

"I hack everything 007. How do you think I got here?"
