"When someone is stealing youth from our country it is our business." James returned coldly, he had found what he was looking for.
First click
"You should have stayed at home." The man in the suit said at last. He started barking orders at his men in Mandarin.
Second click.
The men approached them slowly, guns ready. Mark feverishly looked for an escape route but could not find one. He was a trapped animal.
"If you go to your left, you will have a better access to getting out of there." Q mentioned. James also noticed that there was still that flammable substance on the floor.
Third click.
James stuck the pen in one of the men's pockets and shoved him against the wall.
Boom
James grabbed Mark and they ran through the new hole in the wall. Angry shouts and gun shots followed them out as they both ran as fast as they could towards the exit. James checked to make sure Mark was okay and noticed that he was actually running faster than James. They reached the exit, dodging poorly aimed bullets and were chased by the guards outside. James stopped suddenly, flipped one of the guards and threw him into another group of them, slowing them down a little. Mark waited for James,
"Come on! They're coming-" Mark stopped suddenly. Mark became completely still and neutral in his expression.
"Mark?" James called, but Mark did not respond to James.
"Uh oh..." Q whispered.
"What's 'uh oh'? I don't like 'uh oh's'." James growled at Q.
"They were using him as a test carrier for a sort of nano bot technology. They are used to help-"
"I need the short version Q!"
"He's being controlled!" As Q said that, Mark ran towards James, no change in his expression.
"They just gave him commands, I assume, to kill you."
"After all I did for him." James searched for a safer route to take.
"It's not him; it's the nano bots controlling him. He is a lot faster and stronger than you 007, be careful!"
"Can – you- stop – him?" James huffed as he ran.
"I'm trying! But someone has a controller that is separate from the main computer. If that is destroyed then I can change him back."
"Where is the controller?" James dodged some confused guards and nearly escaped a punch for Marcus.
"A man in an expensive suite has it."
"Oh of course." James grumbled as he kept running out of hiding spots. He watched Mark from a safe place as the boy mechanically looked around for his target. James noticed that there was a resistance in the mechanics, like they were being delayed. James wondered if Mark was fighting it internally.
"What if I electrocuted him?" James asked suddenly.
"It might short him out but I'm afraid it might be very bad for Mark."
"Figured as much."
"Get that controller and we can end this."
"You can come give it a try if you'd like." James remarked as he barely escaped Mark's reaching arms.
"That sounded close." Q remarked.
"Too close for comfort, now if you could be quiet for a moment."
"Radio silence." Q said. James tried to think out a plan but he realized it was actually easier with Q's help. Not wanting to admit it aloud, he decided to go back in and destroy that controller.
With Marcus on the loose and a missing controller, James felt like he was losing his game. Normally, he could be in and out without too much difficulty and normally his rescue-ees didn't turn on him like a killer robot.
James saw Mark turn abruptly and head off. He was being given orders. 007 was safe for now.
