Hey! Just saying there was a small error in my first instalment of 'blood is thicker than water' I spelt instead of Mallory, the new M , I spelt it Marlowe! Whoops! Sorry if I had u confused!

Blood is Thicker Than Water

Clare sat herself down across from bond on the plane, pretending not to notice him staring at her as if she was made of gold. She fumbled about in her bag for her ear buds and popped one into her ear, leaving the ear closest to the aisle free to hear any commotion up front. She took out her IPod and plugged the ear buds into it. She was all set to spend the whole fifteen hour flight but remembering what Mallory had said back at HQ, get to know each other.

"By your jaw movements I can see your about to begin talking, but I assure you that we, have nothing to discuss. I take you on a low key mission, you come back, we never see each other again. It's quite a pleasant thought, me never having to see you again."

Clare looks at him with such deep sadness and hurt for just a flash of a second James bond, stud, elite Agent, cold hearted lonely old man, could have wept. He looked out the window avoiding her big sad eyes, for him, this exchange felt like hours, but to everyone else on the plane, only seconds had passed.

"Nice to know how highly you think of me bond but, of course, you are, quite considerably, wrong."

"And," Bond questions, a malicious playing across his lips, swirling in those Icy eyes, "why are you so sure?"

"Orphans. Dumped. Both of us. And by looking at your file, and the reaction on your face when I said it, the thought of your parents haunts you."

"I didn't realise. I'm sorry."

"Wow, really heartfelt James, truly touching." Clare pauses and realises the only way to get this intimidating figure to open up, was to offer up some information herself.

"It doesn't matter anyway, I was only seven. I don't really remember it so it's not like I have it running through my head every day. What hurts most is actually that my parents had some sense, like; they had some sort of intuition of what would take place that night. You see, my mother came into my bedroom that night, and told me how much her and my father loved me. Later I would find out, that when she did this, my father had already been shot dead. I was then given 5 minutes to change and a large backpack, and sent out through the laundry chute. I had a small radio which I could only hear my mother's panicked voice quietly screaming me to run. I cried with her as I raced across the Ballachulish moors-"

"When you say 'Ballachulish' you don't mean in Glen Coe?" James interrupted mesmerized.

"Yeah," I replied trying to convince myself to continue. "My parents had a small farm land there right at the mountain slope. Anyway, so I got to the safe house three miles from there and was then put on a plane straight away to, wait for it, New Jersey. My late Aunt lived here and raised me till she died. It was my eleventh birthday and I had just received a package from M-my Grandmother, containing a Small, six-point-five inch Walther PPK gun. My aunt must have fully understood and ran upstairs and began preparing different bags and bringing out a host of other guns."

Clare knows she have his attention now I mention a PPK as it clearly states in his file that this is his most preferred gun. she, hopefully, have covered up my nearly fatal mistake. Bond must never know, after managing to pass her little slip off as a mere stutter over the word "mother".

"So what kind of person sends an eleven year old a very efficient gun? You could have easily killed yourself."

"Nice to know how much you care Jamie but this was a sign that the terrorist group that had hunted my parents down were in the state and were hours away from our house. S she armed my gun showing me how to do it quickly and gave me move back up bullets. We ran through the preserve near her house to a small clearing with a large land rover sat, I got in but she stayed. On the flight to California I was informed of her killing. I probably should have mentioned this, that my parents were Agents too. Whoops."

Hope you enjoyed that! My next chapter will be with you within the week…or will it?
I'm gonna start posting my deadlines on my Fanfic profile so you can always be up to date with my goings on!
