The head of MI6 Special Operations, Alan Blunt sat at the desk.

"Hello Alex. I'm pleased to see you. I haven't since you were shot by that Scorpia sniper," said Blunt.

"Hello Mr. Blunt. I'm pleased to see you too," said Alex.

"I heard that that you were coming to Boston when you were on the news. Yes, I'm afraid that this time we couldn't stop the media from mentioning your name. I knew you would be in danger with Scorpia after you embarrassed their agent in the plane. I knew they would try to kill you," said Blunt.

"It wasn't Scorpia that tried to kill me sir, it was Robert Clay."

"You mean Robert Clay the marine biologist?"

"Yes, I found my hotel room trashed and I also found a note from Robert Clay to leave Boston or he would take revenge."

"Why would Robert Clay want you gone?"

"I don't know. But I think he's up to something. Why else would he want me gone?"

"I haven't the slightest clue."

"I want to go after him," said Alex. Blunt showed an emotion: surprised.

Alex had always not wanted to go on the missions. Now he was volunteering!

"They killed Sabina," he said.

"You mean your girlfriend?" asked Blunt.

"Yes. Two of his thugs came and threw her down the grate at the top of the Bunker Hill memorial. I beat one of his thugs to death after that, but one got away and he took her body."

"You killed him, Alex?" asked Blunt.

"Yes."

"So that's what happened. I will explain the situation to the police. They will probably let you off."

"Thank you sir," said Alex.

"Well, Smithers returned from St. Lucia and I told him that I was going to Boston to see if you were in danger. He insisted in coming along to give you some new gadgets," said Blunt.

Blunt walked out of the room and returned in a few minutes with the large man that was Smithers. He had a sun tan from St. Lucia.

"Hello Alex! I'm so pleased to see you again! I have two new gadgets for you to use," exclaimed Smithers.

"Hello Mr. Smithers," said Alex.

Smithers picked up a CD. "This CD is a very useful device if you want to escape. As you can see, there is a think top plastic layer. Place the CD onto a glass surface and spin the plastic layer to make the glass shatter. It even works on the thickest bullet proof glass," said Smithers.

Smithers picked up a bag of marbles. "These marbles have small cameras built into them. They are also wired for sound. The video is sent to some monitors back at MI6. It's great for surveillance."

"Those are great, thank you Mr. Smithers," said Alex.

"I hope they will come in handy," said Smithers. Then he left the room and whistled "Jingle Bells"

"We know that Robert Clay has reservations tonight for dinner at 'The Chart House' at seven o'clock. I think you should go there and find out who he is dinning with. Maybe it will give us a clue why he wants you gone," said Blunt.

"Yes sir, I will have dinner with Jack there tonight at seven," said Alex.

"Then good luck Alex."
