Ash reached up and gently placed her index finger in the middle of Bond's slightly parted lips.
"Tut, tut" she scolded "so eager, your saying I have no patient's" shaking her head as she said it. "Now who's going to sleep where, 'cause I'm sure as hell not walking a mile back to my hut at 1 o'clock in the bloody morning"
"You can take the bed, you look very pale" Bond said smiling "are you sure you don't need me to get you ready for bed" He teased.
"In your dreams" Ash replied.
Flopping on to the bed fully clothed, much to Bond's disappointment she flicked the light switch off and they were enveloped in darkness. After quite a bit of fidgeting Bond heard Ash's breaths gradually became deeper and more even but he couldn't fall asleep.
Bond sprang off the couch and, without realising it he had his gun drawn and ready searching for the enemy who had kicked him. Gradually he came to his senses. The sun was just rising above the horizon and the sky was a blood red, a amused Ash was standing slightly to Bond's right, away from the gun smirking at him.
"Don't take lightly to being kicked awake do you?" She asked
Much to Bond's embarrassment he was still holding his gun out in front of him. He cleared his throat and holstered it.
"Better safe that sorry" he muttered defensively, glancing and his watch he saw the time "why did you wake me up at 5 o'clock in the bloody morning anyway!" He exclaimed.
"I think grumpy here needs some more of his beauty sleep" she snarked "oh well, this 'ill wake you up"
Striding over to the window she flung it open and climbed out onto the sill, throwing a last mischievous smile over her shoulder at Bond she jumped. He ran over to the window, heart pounding. Looking down he saw her brushing sand off herself, she then put hands on her hips and cocked her head up towards him.
"Coming down?" She shouted up at him.
"You do remember there are stairs and a door out. I mean we're on the second floor for God's sake!" He exclaimed
"They're for boring people. Now are you coming down? Or are you scared?" Ash challenged
"That bitch" Bond muttered under his breath then adding louder, "let me get changed first" as he realised he still had his suit on.
Striding over to the walk-in-wardrobe he slipped a light Hawaiian shirt and jeans on keeping his black shoes. Sighing he walked over to the window and lowered himself down using his arms, then let go. Landing in a crouch Bond straightened up and brushed himself off.
"Now, will you care to tell me why you got me up at 5 o'clock and made me jump out of a window?" He asked
"I need to show you something" Ash said seriously, and started walking.
After about ten minutes Bond figured out where they going, to her hut. He could not fathom why she had the sudden change of heart and pondered it for another ten minutes.
"You can ask me you know" Ash called over her shoulder, breaking Bond out of his thoughts. "You won't change my mind".
"Ok then, I give in. Wheny the sudden change of heart?" He asked "two days ago you wouldn't even tell me how you got your hut, now you're showing me it, why?"
Ash stopped and turned to face him, "two reasons" she said "Last night you trusted me more than anyone else has before and the second reason is I figured out the question you wanted to ask me last night. At first I thought you didn't know how to ask it. I was wrong, you didn't know whether to ask it. What I am going to show you will make up your mind."
Bond and Ash rounded a sharp bend in the beach and they were there.
"What do you think?" Ash asked quietly.
Bond was speechless. She hadn't been lying about the 'small beach hut' she owned but behind that was a beautiful 2-story house completely fitting in with the surrounding beach. Made out of dark, round logs it was a classic shape with a roof slightly overlapping the house itself.
"You own that?" Bond asked
"It was my parents holiday home but I built the hut myself two years ago, I didn't like sleeping there. Now I use it to train"
Ash unlocked the door for the house and held it open for him, Bond was once again speechless as he entered. Three walls were lined with weapons ranging from penknives and swords to tasers and ultra precision sniper rifles. The fourth wall had a range of targets and dummies for different weapons. Ash silently lead him upstairs to a very well equipped gym. It had weights, running machines, a rowing machine a metal bar for lifting yourself and other things Bond couldn't even name. The whole gym was equipped with some serious looking music speakers. Looking out he saw the driveway and sitting in the middle of it was a green Lamborghini Adventador.
"Nice" Bond commented with a low whistle.
"It has a V12 engine, can go from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and can reach speeds of 230 miles per hour, yes I have tried and tested that last part." She said in response to his admiring whistle, "anyway let's show you what I can do"
Going back downstairs she selected a Colt M1911 from the handgun section and not needing to load it Ash walked to the very back of the opposite wall and fired six shots. Every bullet was on target, she hit the cutout dummy once in the forehead, in the heart two times, crotch once and a shot in the dead centre of each kneecap. Ejecting the used cartridge she put the gun back, grabbing three hunting knives Ash threw each one of them in turn at a cork target. The first hit the red circle, the second the bullseye and the third hit the red again. The whole time Bond watched with a raised eyebrow.
Ash turned round to face him, "So are you going to ask me wether I want to come back to MI6 with you?" She asked.
"Most certainly" Bond purred.
"Well, my answer is yes" she stated confidently and left the house leaving Bond standing there on his own.
