Paris, France 1400 CET
It has been a few hours since Bond and Bourne arrived in Paris. MI6 and the CIA have already set up a safehouse in Central Paris, an apartment near the Champs-Elysees for them to use as a staging area for their operations. A car was also available to be used for a getaway, provided by the Q branch. The car that would be used is a black BMW 7-Series, with the most state-of-the-art car security system in the world. According to Q, he said that the windows are blast resistant, while the handles of the doors would provide an electrical shock to any intruder. After settling in, Bond then said,
"Ok, MI6 gave us a location on where to go next. We do not have much time. Devereux is supposed to have a meeting with his men and an unknown party at an office located in South Central Paris at the 4th arrondissement. They will conduct the meeting at 3:00. We are supposed to tap into their conversation, find out who they are working with,"
"How are we going to pull it off?"
"MI6 has set up a location in an empty room in a building across from the office where Devereux has his meeting. You will be able to see and listen to their activities from that location. But the first thing we need to do is to plant the bugs so we can listen into them. Q has provided us the equipment. I need to sneak past the security of this office complex, and plant the bugs in the hallways, and the meeting room where Devereux and his associates will meet. You will make sure that I will not be caught while I am doing the task,"
"Should we start now?"
"Yes. Get the equipment ready. Also pack. We may have to go to another country to get him as well,"

Bond drove the black BMW 7-series through traffic and parked in a garage below of a small apartment building at Rue du Renard. He then got out, followed by Bourne, and opened the trunk. Bond then took out a large backpack and a briefcase. Bourne then followed suit. They went into the building and into an empty room on the fifth floor that MI6 designated them to. Bourne then locked the door, and quickly set up a laptop computer on a table, plugged it, and also placed an electronic box with an antenna next to the computer. Bourne then switched on the computer, sat down, and took out an earpiece, and placed in on his left ear. Bond cocked his Walther P99, and placed it into his holster in his suit. He also adjusted his Omega watch, opened his briefcase to check if the bugs were ready to be deployed. Bond then asked,
"Ok, how do I get inside the office? It's secured,"
"You will be posing as a frequent office worker by the name of Marc Rupert. You will be posing also as a DCPJ agent, hence your license to carry a weapon. Here's your identity card. I have access to the map inside the building, and I will guide you to the room. Remember, do not alarm the guards, and don't cause trouble. You have, damn it, ten minutes to pull this off," said Bourne as he tossed Bond a machine-readable card, and a wallet containing the forged DCPJ identity.
"Don't worry," said Bond.
Bond then closed the briefcase and went out. He then put on a pair of glasses so he could be like the man on the identity card that Bourne forged along with a Bluetooth headset. He walked out of the apartment, crossed the street, and walked into the office. He walked toward the elevators without any hassle by the building security guards.
"Ok Bond, the meeting is supposed to occur at the fifth floor, in a conference room. Room 507," said Bourne on his headset.
"Got it," acknowledged Bond as he entered in the elevator and pressed a button that had a number five on it.
Within a couple of minutes, the elevator arrived at the fifth floor. Bond quickly walked down the hallway, and saw Room 507. The door was locked, but he took out his Nokia N70, and used its lock-picking features to unlock the door. Bond then opened the door, and went in. He quickly closed it. Bond then opened the briefcase. He then planted several bugs and cameras in areas that no one would be able to detect.
Jason Bourne quickly looked out the window from the staging area. He then saw a convoy of four cars arrive. The driver of the second car came out, and opened the back door. Out came a tall man in his forties. It was Leon Devereux. Bourne then pressed on his earpiece.
"Holy shit! Bond, you have to get out now! Devereux is here!"
"Where is he?" asked Bond as he placed the second to last bug.
"He and his crew are getting out of their cars. They are now entering the building. His bodyguards are carrying automatic weapons. Haul ass,"
Bond then quickly placed the last bug as Devereux and his men entered the elevators. Bond then left the room, closed and locked the doors, and ran out to the hallway. Devereux and his men were already in the elevators.
"You have to get out of here now! They're in the lifts!" yelled Bourne.
Bond then saw an emergency stairway. He went down the stairs, just when the elevators arrived at the fifth floor. Bond then pressed on his earpiece.
"Do have a visual of the conference room?"
"Yes, the objective is complete," said Bourne as he clicked on a window, displaying Devereux and his men walking inside. He was also able to listen to what they were saying.

Bond then found his way to the ground floor. He then walked out of the office building, crossed the street, and walked into the apartment building where Bourne was working. He then went up to the fifth floor, and back into the staging area. He saw Bourne looking at the computer, listening into the conversation.
"How's it going so far?" asked Bond.
"It's going fine. They are just making a few introductions. Here's a pair of headphones. You can listen in," said Bourne.
They began to listen to the conversation while watching the screen. They were able to recognize Devereux, and his bodyguards, but there were two other men that looked like that they did not work for Devereux. It was only Devereux, and the two men sitting on the table while there were only four men standing in the room, guarding Devereux and the doors. From their gestures, it seemed that Devereux was working for someone else.
"Mr. Devereux, has the Israeli operation been successful?" asked one the men sitting. The man was speaking in an American accent.
"Yes. The operation was a success," said Devereux. "We got the equipment to provide to our buyers. Our buyers should not have a problem carrying out their agenda. All I need to do is head to Cairo and verify that we have secured the equipment. My flight will leave from Orly on Egyptair at five,"
"Good. But I have to give you a warning. You have an American following you. I would not be surprised that a Brit will also come along,"
"But our men have brought down the American and British spies! They have not interfered with our operations for weeks! I brought down the last spy cell two days ago!" said Devereux angrily.
"Well, you're going to have to do something about it. From my intel, CIA and MI6 are only bringing two agents, one from each agency. They are not going to send ten, only two. It should be easy. I have the location of those two. I believe they are still in London, only planning what they are going to do next. Call your hit squad. I'll whisper in the location," said the man as he moved toward Devereux's ear. The man also pointed his finger toward the camera. Devereux briefly looked at it, and then listened again. After a few moments, Devereux went to his bodyguard and whispered something. The bodyguard then picked up his mobile phone, and called someone.
Bourne looked at Bond.
"The lone MI6 agent, and the lone CIA agent, he was saying, could they be implying us?"
"Of course they are. That explains why you were followed. But it seems that the party that Devereux is working for are the people who were spying on you. Oh no,"
"What?"
"They know we are in Paris, not London. They know where we are perhaps. The reason why the man said London was to throw us off. To make us think that they are stupid in order to manipulate us. They're coming to kill us, see?" said Bond as he pointed to the window, showing a group of bodyguards walking toward the apartment.
"Pack the necessary stuff in a backpack. We're going to escape to Cairo,"
Bourne saved all of the recorded data, and turned off the laptop. He then quickly packed the laptop and other essential equipment in a backpack, and put his backpack on. He then took out a pistol, an H&K USP .45, and turned off the safety. Bond drew out his Walther P99 and cocked it. Suddenly, the door was smashed open. Two men armed with H&K MP7s came in and saw Bond and Bourne. They opened fire.
"GET DOWN!" yelled Bond, as he sidestepped into a nearby room.
Bourne jumped behind a column. He then exchanged fire, killing the first one, with two shots, one on the chest, the other bullet on the neck. Bond also fired two bullets, killing the second one as well. Bourne then went outside, and checked both sides of the hallway.
"We're clear!" yelled Bourne.
"Get to the parking garage!" yelled Bond.
The two agents ran down the stairs until they reached the parking garage. Once they thought they can get to the BMW 7-Series, they were proven wrong. There was another group of men waiting, armed with TEC-9s, MP5s and Uzis.
"Aw, shit," said Bourne.
The men fired their submachine guns. Bond jumped behind one column and fired back. Bourne jumped behind another and fired back as well. They were trapped.
"Do you have a flashbang in your backpack?" yelled Bond.
"Yeah! Why?" yelled Bourne.
"Use it! My Nokia has a remote control for the car! I'll bring the car over while you gas them!" yelled Bond.
Bourne quickly got out a flashbang. He pulled the ring, and tossed it into the open. The flashbang exploded. The bodyguards were quickly blinded by the flash. Bond activated the remote control on his Nokia N70, and drove the BMW 7-Series to the columns. Bond and Bourne quickly jumped in, and drove off. By the time the bodyguards came to, Bond and Bourne were nowhere to be found.
"After them!" yelled one of the bodyguards.
The bodyguards quickly jumped into their cars. There were two, one was a Mercedes S-Class, and the other was an Audi A8. They followed the BMW 7-Series. They were now driving through the streets of Paris as a high speed chase began.
"Where do we need to go?" asked Bourne as he looked to check if there was anyone following them.
"Cairo, Egypt. Devereux will be heading there to meet his buyers. We need to know who his buyers are and what he is up to! Are we being followed?"
"Yes," said Bourne as he lowered his window, and fired back with his USP. One of the gunmen stuck out from the Mercedes S-Class and fired his TEC-9. He aimed the TEC-9 at the tires of the BMW, and fired, puncturing them.
"Uh, we have two flat tires in the rear!" yelled Bourne.
"Don't worry," said Bond as he pressed a button. The tires re-inflated. Bourne was amazed on what that BMW can do.
"I got to get myself one of these," said Bourne.
Bond chuckled as he drove through the crowded streets of Paris, without causing any accidents on the way. They then headed Northwest, onto the Champs-Elysees, Bourne continued to fire back as the gunman continued to fire his TEC-9 at the BMW. Bourne then got a good shot, and fired a bullet into the gunman's head. The gunman fell back into the car.
"Great shot there," said Bond.
By the time gunshots were being heard, Bourne began to hear sirens, and now the police were chasing them.
"Great, more cops," said Bourne.
The BMW approached the Arc de Triomphe, and turned right. Police cars tried to contain the BMW from every avenue that connected into the Place de l'Etoile, but Bond simply devised a plan. He saw an avenue, guarded by cops, pressed a button, and a rocket launcher popped out.
"Mon dieu! Allez! Allez!" yelled a French police officer when he saw the rocket launcher.
The cop and a group of other police officers ran away from the stationed police cars. Bond pressed another button again as a group of four rockets fired,
BOOM!
The roadblock exploded. Bond then drove through the smoldering rubble as the Mercedes and the Audi continued to follow, with several police cars in pursuit.
"Uh, James, where exactly in Paris are we heading to? We've got the Parisian police chasing now!"
"Charles de Gaulle airport. Contact Air France. Schedule the next direct flight to Cairo,"
Bourne then called Air France and made a reservation for the next flight to Cairo. As Bourne was making the call, Bond was now on the highway, heading for Charles de Gaulle. He checked the BMWs iDrive computer to see how many mini-rockets he had left. Eight, the computer said, enough to destroy the Audi and the Mercedes. Bond then pressed the button for the rockets again, and got the launcher to aim for the Mercedes. He fired four rockets. The rockets headed for the underbody of the black Mercedes S-Class
BOOM!
The rockets exploded, causing the Mercedes to flip over and crash into another speeding car. Next was the Audi. Bond then used to iDrive computer to aim the rockets at the Audi coming from behind. He fired the last four rockets. This time they smashed through the windshield and the hood.
BOOM!
The rockets exploded, turning the Audi into a massive fireball as it slowly crashed into a barrier. Bond then smiled as he lowered the rocket launcher into the roof.
"Do we have a flight scheduled?" asked Bond.
"Yes, it will leave at about 4:45, which means we only have 20 minutes to board the flight!" said Bourne.
"We're only moments away from the airport," said Bond, as he arrived at a parking lot where no cameras can spot them. They got out.
"Leave the guns, take the equipment," said Bond as he left his P99 and ammo in the car.
Bourne followed suit with his USP. Bond then set a self-destruct timer, as they escaped from the BMW. By the time Bourne and Bond went into the airport, the BMW exploded before the French police could even get to them. The police also did not know whether they were in the BMW or not. They also began to look at the destroyed Audi and Mercedes. Since there were so many people at the airport, they also could not identify the drivers at the airport. Bond and Bourne escaped, without a trace, as they successfully booked a flight to Cairo, Egypt, wondering what Leon Devereux is up to.
