Reason 25 – "Let's get it on" is Playing
As many people in the espionage community will admit sometimes the best intelligence is obtained simply by being in right place at the right time. James Bond, 007, was heading for the MI6 gym to get in a workout. Alec Trevelyn, 006, was on his way to Q branch to turn the equipment from his most recent mission. They met completely by accident in one of the lower level halls and after spending a few minutes catching up they both noticed a low level thumping sound that seemed to be somewhat out of place. Unusual sounds in the basements of MI6 were not uncommon especially since Q branch as well as the firing range was located there. Such sounds also meant something interesting was going on so it was unsurprising that the two 00's decided to investigate.
They tracked the sounds to one of the smaller training rooms. From outside the locked door it was clear that the thumping was in fact the base line to some rock song. The thumping stopped and they clearly heard a female laugh.
After an exchange of glances James put his hand on the biometric sensor and quickly typed in his override code. The door remained locked which was in and of itself quite interesting. Only branch heads and above could lock out a 00's override code. So what was a branch head doing in a training room with music? James looked at Alec who grinned and extracted one of Q branch's patented electronic lock picking devices from his pocket. It was a simple matter to apply the device to the keypad and let it do its thing. The music started up again just as the light on the lock turned green.
The two agents were completely unprepared for the sight that greeted them when they opened the door. Q was standing barefooted in the middle of the room, hands on hips looking both disgusted and utterly disheveled. Moneypenny was collapsed against one of the walls shaking with quasi-suppressed laughter. "Let's get it on, oh baby; Lets get it on, let's love baby; Let's get it on, sugar; Let's get it on, woah…" the music crooned as Q whirled about to glare at the door. The look of shock and embarrassment on his face when he realized just who had interrupted was priceless.
Before either agent could think to retreat Q's expression quickly changed into an evil grin. "Get in here you two!" he ordered in his best do it now or I'll ruin your credit rating tone of voice. "At least one of you ought to be able to teach me how to dance to this stuff so I don't muck up my best-mate-from-Uni's wedding."
