Chapter 3 – Berlin, Germany
Sykhaüs Club- 23:47 hrs.
Bond could feel the eyes of the women he passed follow him as he made his way too the bar of the multilevel club. The bartender approached him.
"For you sir?"
"Just a drink. A Martini: Shaken, not Stirred."
Bond reclined at the bar as he waited for his drink as he enjoyed the noisy club.
"I usually try to go for something more adventurous myself." Said a cool, feminine voice from his right.
"Sometimes I find it's good to live by some things." Bond turned and looked at the woman beside him as he took a sip of his just-arrived drink. She was wearing a slinky little black dress and sharp-pointed black pumps. Her black hair was styled in a loose twist held in place by two chopstick and, though it was hard to tell in the dimly lit club, she looked slightly Middle Eastern.
"Anything for the lady?" the bartender was back.
"A shot of tequila, straight up."
Bond relaxed slightly, "And that's your definition an adventurous drink?"
She laughed slightly as she downed the shot. "It is after you fourth or fifth, Care to dance?"
…And so much more.
He flipped a twenty to the bartender asshe pulled him to the dance floor.
She put her arms around Bond as he pulled close to him on the crowded dance floor. He smiled down at her "so why are we dancing?"
"No offence, but you stick out." Bond laughed slightly.
She continued. " We have visitors. Look towards the stairs"
Bond moved into a position to where he could see the stairs and immediately spotted three heavy-set men who split up and started to methodically search the room. He saw one with an angular face flash a picture at the bartender and the bartender pointed in their direction.
"How about a tango?"
…and they did. All the way out the emergency exit.
Mitte Area, Berlin - 00:03 Hrs.
Bond and the girl walked quickly down a deserted street in the commercial area of Mitte. It was an area filled with tourist during the day but by night the streets, illuminated every 300 meters or so by ancient street lights, was eerily silent.
The clacking of the girls heels was all that could be heard when they heard the sound of more feet. Bond turned his head and saw the three goons from the club following them.
"Don't look now but we have company"
She grabbed Bond's hand and steered him into a near by alley where they hid behind a dumpster that blocked them from the men.
"Friends of yours?" Bond asked as he pulled his gun out of its holster.
"Unfinished business." She said as she yanked a heart shaped locket from her neck.
A volley of machine gun fire echoed through the alley and they both threw themselves behind a dumpster.
"I hate to break it to you but I don't think this is a social call."
The girl undid the catch to the locket and hurled it at their assailants and a blinding light flashed at it impact.
"They're blinded for 3 minutes.".
As they ran towards the opposite end on the alley Bond turned and fired a shot.
A scream.
One man down.
