Taking the Bait
The next day at England:
"M" was sitting at her desk filing through her many papers. As she was filling out some contents of one her door swung open and in walked a one of the personals that worked a floor blow her.
"Maim, I'm very sorry to disturb you like this but something rather important has appeared and I think you should see it for your self." "M" looked up her papers, with a sort of confused look. She got from her chair and started to walk out of the office with the man.
"So what is it exactly" she said.
"Well, they came in the mail this morning. They are pictures of Sir James Bond. It seems he is not living up to his reputation anymore. It's easier to explain when you see the pictures. They walked into an elevator and went down one floor. They walked into the room which was full of small offices. The man lead "M" to one of them and gestured to a file on the desk. She walked up to it and opened the file, and inside where the pictures. They where pictures of James Bond and Mr. Lasko, the first one were a picture of them exchanging a file, and the second one were of them shaking hands. Under the pictures laid a sheet of paper marked with the Australian national symbol with the word URGENT in big read letters across the top. "M" took it and read to herself what it said.
To the British Government,
This is a formal notification of the actions one of your secret governmental agents. As you are probably aware of, on sat, May 19, 2003, our Chancellor was shot and after investigations of the crime scene, we have matched the ammunition used with a gun found near the scene. This gun happens to be an issued walther ppk to a know British secret service agent by the name of Sir James Bond. We, the Australian government, have begun to take action against this attack. We ask that you send down your ambassadors to help clear the reason of this attack. Also we ask of to personally deal with your agent, failure to comply with our stated terms will result in the assumption that this was an unprovoked attack against the Australian government and counter actions will be taken.
Signed, Vice Chancellor, Deryck M Schreuder
"M" looked up from the letter and turned out of the small office, and stormed back to her office taking the file with her. As she walked through Miss Money Penny's office which was right before "M's" she told her to get the Prime Minister and the secretary of foreign affairs over to her office as soon as possible. She reminded "M" that they where still in a radio silence. But "M" just stormed into her office. Money Penny took out her personal cell phone and proceeded in trying to contact the two that "M" wanted to meet.
One hour later both the Prime Minister and the Secretary of foreign affairs where in "M" office where she explained the letter form the Australians and the pictures. "Personally I find hard to believe. We all know Bond well enough to know that he would never do such a thing."
"Yes, but even if he didn't we still need to clear this up with the Australians. You don't have a secret service agent supposedly kill a chancellor and just say that he's not the type of guy to do such a thing. We will need to find Bond and get him out of there and then try to find the truth behind all of this." Said the secretary of foreign affairs.
"I'm with both of your opinions. "M" you deal with your man, I will send down my personal ambassador to try to settle things down there. This is defiantly going to be a harsh dilemma if we don't clear it up fast. "M" do what you need to get Bond out of there, It's about we stop talking and get moving, lets hope this blowup in out faces. Good afternoon." With that the Prime Minister and the secretary of foreign affairs left the room.
"M" rang up Money Penny and told her to find double-o eleven and get him back to headquarters immediately.
