James had found the club with no trouble. It was fairly easy to get in. Some desperate ladies near the front of the line had hit on him. James had merely taken advantage of the situation to get in. The women fell easily for his charm and witty humor. James smiled and played nice until he got into the club. There his MI6 training took over. Within minutes he had blended in with the club scene and ditched the ladies. His eagle eyes had located each guard and noticed the door that seemed more heavily guarded.
In a single fluid motion James pulled the fire alarm and disarmed the two guards at the door. The two guards collapsed and James stepped over them through the door. He heard the screams of party-goers and the frantic shouts of guards trying to control them.
Through the door there was a short hallway that slanted down. At the end of the hallway was another door. This one was more protected. Two cameras swiveled around the entrance. It seemed the guards had left to deal with the false alarm. James stayed out of range of the cameras while he decided the best way in.
"Hey! What are you doing down here?" A man's voice interjected James' thoughts.
James whirled around and saw the man running at him. The man pulled his gun out as James pulled his out. It was unclear who shot first, but it was clear who got hit. The man fell to the ground clutching his leg. He rolled down the incline and smashed his head on the door. The gunshots had alerted the men behind the door. There was a hydraulic hiss as the door opened and three men spilled out. The first one tripped over the body of the unconscious man and disarmed himself. The other two had no time to react as another two gunshots sounded. Both men collapsed almost simultaneously.
Kay heard the grunts of the guards as the fell. There was some shuffling as bodies were kicked away. Kay saw the shadow of a gun poke through the open door. It was soon followed by the rest of a man's body. The man held the gun at arm's length; he first checked the left side. Lucky for Kay it just happened to be the side she wasn't on. The moment he turned around Kay leapt from her hiding spot.
The two collided and rolled over one another. James ended up with the upper hand, seeing as how he rolled on top of his attacker. He used his knee to pin down his/her arm and his gun was jammed deep into their gut. But his opponent also had a gun directed at his heart. He heard another click behind him. James knew another gun was pointed at his head.
Kay looked up at the man she had attacked.
James looked down at the person who tackled him.
Simultaneously the two exclaimed.
"James? What are you doing here?"
"Kay? What are you doing here?"
There was an uncomfortable moment of silence.
Ray broke the silence," You know each other?"
Kay and James noticed the awkward position they were in and immediately untangled themselves. The two stood up and brushed themselves off. Ray stood with the gun pointed at James and rather uncertain if he should shoot.
"Please don't point that at me." James said with a threatening tone.
Ray chuckled nervously and dropped his arm to his side.
"What are you doing here James?" Kay asked tentatively.
"I could ask you the same thing." James retorted.
"Refresh my memory….who are you and how do you two know each other?" Ray almost shouted.
James quickly recovered and grabbed Kay tightly by the waist.
"Kay didn't tell you? We just got married." James said with a fake smile plastered on his face.
Kay was rather taken aback and Ray was plain stunned.
"You didn't feel like sharing this tad bit of information with me Kay?" Ray spluttered.
Kay blushed furiously," Well I just thought I'd keep it under wraps. I mean James here is, um running."
At this point Ray had put two and two together and came out with the right answer.
"No way, you're James Bond! The rouge MI6 agent, unbelievable." Ray exclaimed.
James nodded as if this were a rather common fact. Kay shuffled nervously as Ray stood speechless.
"Well what a coincidence. We ended up in the same place, for the exact same thing too, I suppose." Kay managed timidly.
"Yes I suppose we did. Ray, you wouldn't mind helping us now?" James said coldly.
Ray glanced at James' gun, which was still clutched tightly in his hand. James made a point to keep it out and in view.
"Oh yeah…I mean….well." Ray stuttered.
James raised an eyebrow at Ray. This only caused Ray to go into another bout of stuttering.
"Just tell us where we can find him and we'll leave." Kay said regaining her composure.
"He's here in London. You probably already know but he's assembling a team of trained professionals. He'll be happy to know you're back, Kay. I'm sure he'd also enjoy having a rogue spy in town. I'll put out word you two are….together." Ray smiled uncertainly.
"Thanks a lot, Ray." Kay smiled as she grabbed her bag of things.
Kay tugged on the back of James' shirt and motioned for them to leave.
"Oh, one more thing Kay; you shouldn't keep this life much longer." Ray said with a sympathetic look on his face
Kay paused," It's the only life I know, Ray."
James gripped Kay's waist slightly harder and led her out the door.
She could hear Ray shout behind her," Did four years in prison teach you nothing?"
Kay smiled as she shouted back," NO!"
"Stubborn little thing." Ray muttered.
Ray was startled by Kay's shout back," I HEARD THAT!"
