Chapter 3
Meanwhile at MI6 headquarters, James hung up the phone and heaved a huge sigh. M walked into his office.
"Everything all right, double-0 seven?" she asked.
"Yes, ma'am. Everything's great." James replied.
"I'm not convinced. How are Amy and Anne?" M asked.
"They're wonderful. Amy starts kindergarten today. She called me before she left for school. I couldn't talk long and I could tell she was disappointed." James replied.
"Where is Amy going to school?" M asked.
"Boughton Hall." James replied.
"That's wonderful! I'm proud of her. I know you are, too. How would you like to take tomorrow off and spend the day with your family?" M asked.
"Do you mean that?" James asked.
"Of course, Bond. I never joke about things like this. I have a family, too." M replied.
"Thank you, ma'am. I think I'll take you up on that." James replied, suddenly perking up.
"All right, then. For today, I need you to start training Jackson. I think he's ready for target practice. Take him out to the shooting range." M replied.
"Yes, ma'am. Where can I find him?" James asked.
"He's waiting for you at Q's office." M replied.
James and M walked out of James' office and went their separate ways. James to Q branch and M to her office.
