A/N: Okay folks, I promised a new chapter this week and here it is. Fresh at 7am in the morning. To way2cool4uxx and everyone in general I'm sorry to have offended you, I did have a plot ready, but then I realized it would be somehow realistic and might get someone fired, so maybe not. I got desperate because I have suffered from some pretty bad insomnia for the past year or so and I have found that after completely powering out I need to unwind somehow and that's what writing is for me. So if I can't write, I can't sleep , then I can't learn or think and then I can't write again and we have a pretty vicious cycle. Despeite having a crazy busy weekend I took time to really sit down on saturday, after a somewhat alright slept night and managed to come up with a few ideas. I apologize for offending you. Also I'll let everybody know I'm almost halfway with the new chapter, so it can be expected to be put up either today or tomorrow. That one was almost purely fueled with not being able to sleep. Oh and sorry for the long note.

RebaForever15 - Yeah I kinda had the feeling your heart especially would skip a beat. I have had a full leg cast myself once and I can assure you that stairs are the worst possible enemy.

mollyweasleyforever - I think you'll be pleased to hear that from the few ideas I managed to come up with I did indeed pick a goose chase :) I hope you get this chapter before you leave and I wish you a nice trip.

way2cool4uxx - Again, sorry. Thanks for your long review and I do write for myself. I love writing it is so relaxing and I love to know that I put something out there which I wish existed, so that the next time a pour lost little soul like me goes looking for a story they'll find one.

Sunday -I thought about involving James too, but he doesn't really have spare time, since he has to stick with Louella. I don't think she would be too happy of being left alone with someone else. He is minorly involved tough. As for the review thing, there's some new policy that you can't put up more than one review per chapter, so that might have been the problem. Haven't any dates planned for the near future, but maybe some time. Thanks for the idea.

Chapter Seven – Planing it all

#####

Q's apartment was a bright space due to a window the size of his entire wall. There was a small hall leading straight into the living room that was openly conected with the kitchen/ dining area on one side and an office space on the other side. The only things that were behind closed doors were his bedroom and bath. James didn't personally like it two much, but at least it was easy for him to keep an eye on Louella.

Louella didn't pay too much attention to the apartment as soon as she realized there was a cat in the house. Gentleman had come to greet the herd that had entered his kingdom and he was just as enchanted by Louella as she was of him. The cat had never in it's entire lifetime seen such a tiny human being.

Everyone hung their coats up and proceded in taking a seat in the living room. Before they could even start Eve's phone began ringing. She glanced at the caller ID, pressing the green button.

"Tanner, is something wrong?" she had talked to him before leaving and was sure he'd have no reason to call her unless this was the case. SHe listened intently to his words.

"What?" she yelped, catching everybody's attention.

"I'll give the phone to Q." she handed him the receiver before turning to M and James.

"There's a security breach going on and some other stuff. It might take a while" she tried to give a quick summary of the situation to them. Meanwhile Q had whipped out his laptop and computer and was frantically typing and clicking with his mouse.

"Okay, well we'll go out. Call me when your done." He got of the couch and scoope dup Louella. "Are you coming?" he asked M.

She was reluctant to go, but nodded nevertheless. Her office was in a crisis and there was nothing she could do since Tanner was in charge.

James and M sat side by side on a bench in the courtyard watching Louella. She was happily wandering around, exploring trees, leavesand flowers, even stopping just to touch grass.

M remembered the times when she was young, taking her kids outside to play. She had always wanted a daughter, but she had only had three boys. Her oldest grandchild had been a girl, but she lived in the United States along with her oldest son and his wife.

"Daddy!"

James got up to see what the girl wanted from him. She pointed to the tree above her, particularly to a bright red leaf. He swung heru p in the air, making her giggle. She loved being alomst at the level of the branches surrounded by shimmering colourful leaves and the sun. She ripped of the red leaf and wa ssoon safely on the ground. SHe looked at it for a while before scooting over to M handing it to her.

"Emma." Louella didn't know how to tell her it was for her so she simply said her name and reached out her hand with the leaf in it.

"For me?" she took the beautiful leaf, smiling at Louella, "Thank you, dear."

She ran off again.

An hour and a half later they were all gathered around the kitchen table with a cup of tea in front of each of them.

"Okay, so do you guys have a plan?" James asked the first and most important question.

"Well, no. Not really. We thought of sending him on a complete goose hunt, but one that would not involve MI6." Q said.

"You mean something personal?"

"Yes."

"He has a twin sister." M stated, "She's been a lot of trouble and Mallory checked her into rehab seven years ago. The last I know of her is that she lives in Paris."

"Do you know her name?" Q asked as he went to retrieve his laptop."

"Gabriela Mallory."

Q began his tech work once again.

"Yes, indeed. She was in Addictions Detox & Rehab Centre in Bedfordshire for six months. She moved to Paris and now lives in Argentina. Looks like she's still using to some extent."

"I'm sure he'd go looking for her if she was in trouble." Eve said, "They don't have any contact now do they?"

"No, not according to their phone records. There are some files from her rehab with her handwriting. I could create a letter with them."

While Q was working once again a drowsy Louella came over to tug on her father's shirt.

"Daddy, up." He lifted her onto his lap where she curled up against his chest, leaning her head against him.

The printer in the office started rattling, printing out a letter. Q fetched it and brought it back to show everyone. They agreed that Eve would get Mallory into the office the next day, so that James could get the letter into Mallory's mailbox, along with the one that actually came by post. Q would make the actual letter in his lab on the next morning, creating the writing with a ballpoint pen and making sure the envelope had the correct stamps and labels on it.

When they were finally done it was already six thirty and Louella was nearly asleep. They said their goodbyes, M, James and Louella leaving in one car and Eve in the other. Louella was quickly fast asleep. He dropped M off and much to her agony carried her to her front door before going home and putting his daughter to bed.

Today has really been a weird day. He thought before falling asleep.
