Chapter 6
All Hail Caser
The next evening was the night of the charity ball for the service. Hundreds of rich associates and secret service agents flooded the giant room at the Hilton. Also was there were Michael and Samantha as well as Bond and M.
"Miss Penington," M started, "I'm very sorry about your husband."
"Yes, thank you," Sam replied, "I only hope I'm doing the right thing for him."
"I'm sure you are," Bond added as he turned to M. "Where's Q?"
"He had to stay back at he lab," M replied, "Said he had to finish something up."
Suddenly machine guns were being shot as everyone took cover. Bond guided Samantha under a table and remarked, "Stay here, I won't be long." He took out his gun and shot at one of the gunmen in chest. They were both dressed all in black excepted for their caps, which were in red. The one Bond got fell to the floor as the other one fled. Bond raced towards the door hopping over people as they got up. In the hall, he quickly looked around and then saw a door open on the other side. It was he; the assassin fired at 007, but fortunately, Bond duck in archway and fired back. The caped man escaped through the back exit door as Bond followed. The man looked for a getaway vehicle and saw a bicycle he could use. He shot the lock off and peddled away. Bond saw him as he peddled faster. 007 needed car, but none was around, then he saw the same motorcyclist he bumped into a couple of days ago and ordered, "Excuse me I need your motorcycle again."
"What?!" the cyclist exclaimed got on the bike.
"Let's hope you tuned her up this time," Bond remarked as he rode off after him.
Bond chased the assailant for 10 minuets down Thomas Avenue when the biker decided to lose him by making a right on Wimbledon Avenue and into a parking lot. Bond had enough as he aimed his gun and fired at the caped men's tire. The bike skidded and crashed in front of Wimbledon Stadium, where while the tennis season was over the, stadium was filled with AC/DC fans. The assassin got up quickly, took off his mask and ran into the stadium shoving a security guard out of his way. Bond stopped the motorcycle and pursued him inside, excusing the security guard. The gunman dashed through an archway leading in the stadium it self. The Band was playing "All Hail Caesar" from their album "Ballbreaker". Bond thought he lost him as he spotted him climbing down the stairway towards the stage. Bond chased him as the assassin shoved and shot another guard while making his break. The crowd and even the band stopped playing and ducked when they heard the gunshot. The caped man ran into back stage as Bond followed. The man raced down a long hallway until he got to the end. He was trapped, as they were no place to go, he raised his gun at Bond, but 007 shot him in the leg. He dropped down on the floor releasing his gun as Bond walked over. Bond recognized him as being Dr. Hyde's caddy from yesterday.
The caddy secretly took out a pill and swallowed it, he then looked up at him and phrased, "The Brothers of the Blood will prevail." He then passed out.
Bond checked his pulse as people gathered around, but found nothing. He was dead.
Hours later Bond rejoined M and the others as the police surveyed the scene. Bond reported to M what happened and the identity of the gunman. Chief Heningson, the one who is on the case, joined them.
"...The man was the same man I saw caddying for Dr. Hyde yesterday," Bond reported, "Before he died, he said 'The Brother of the Blood will prevail'."
"So that's what the BB stands for," Samantha spoke, "Brothers of the Blood, but who are they?"
"A very secret society my dear," M answered, "I was once a member. Bond, I must ask you to relieve your current duty. I'm reassigning you. Come to my office tomorrow to be briefed."
"What about me?" Samantha asked.
"I'm sure Scotland Yard will supply you with another bodyguard," M replied walking away.
"What are you going to do?" Samantha questioned.
"That is confidential," M, responded.
"Confidential? What is that suppose to mean?" she thought as she turned to Bond, "James, what ever you do, I want you to find who's responsible for this and kill him."
"Don't worry, Samantha," Bond said hugging her, "I will."
