Just a little short one for now. :)
Bill arrived at 's flat a few hours later to see what he could do about the password situation.
"So tell me again why were breaking in to you own computer" he said with a smile as he sat down at her desk.
"Well you see, technically I am still the head of MI6, therefore I should be kept informed of the whereabouts of my agents and...Why am I explaining this to you? you already know why I want to get in there" said M with a hint of mock irritation.
"Yes I know but curiosity killed the cat you know" he replied as he opened the computer and began to type "The password, just so you know, is incredibly easy. It's JB_007." he said and with a few taps he was linked to the office
"Why on earth would I make it so easy?" she asked as she was scanning the screen
"Because according to you, and I quote "Bond never thinks of the obvious" thus the password"
"Does it work?"
"Not usually" he replied with a laugh
"I don't suppose you know where they've sent him?" said Eve
"Yes actually he's been sent to Pakistan"
"Pakistan?" replied M
"Yes. Here give me a minute and I'll pull up the mission details for you" he said tapping away on the keyboard.
"There you are ma'am, as requested, mission details" he said as he changed places with M so she could sit.
M scanned the screen paying close attention to any information regarding James.
"So just who is this Josef Yousef?"
"Well apparently he is the head of a small terrorist organization that seems to be getting stronger by the minute, he is very good with computers and he likes to blow things up" relied Bill as he looked over her shoulder.
"What is this order" she asked pointing to the screen "This do not engage, and there is no mention of support operatives, Why not?"
"Apparently James is to follow this Yousef but he's not allowed to touch him"
"Well then why the hell send a double O if he's not allowed to do anything other than watch and report. Any agent could watch" she said angrily as she continued to read
"It's bad enough that he was sent on assignment when he was already on an assignment of sorts, but he wasn't even given the chance to say goodbye" she said sounding almost hurt
"I know M and believe me he wasn't the least bit happy about that but he did ask me to deliver a message" said Bill with a rather odd expression on his face
"Well what is it, what is the message?" asked M anxiously
"He said to tell you that he is looking forward to investigating your Scarecrow theory in greater detail when he gets back" replied Bill with puzzled look. "I can only assume you know what that means"
"Yes" she replied with a mischievous smile "I know exactly what he means"
"Well. what does it mean" asked Bill
"It means don't ask" said Eve with a wink
"Alright you two. Back to the task at hand. Do we have any other operatives in the area?" asked M
"Yes I believe so, Why?" asked Bill suspiciously
"Because I believe I will do a little reassigning of my own. If this Josef Yousef is as dangerous as Mallory seems to think, I want to be sure we have enough people in place should there be a need." replied M firmly
M was about to type in the order before she caught herself. "If I do this myself they will know I remember" she thought as she suddenly took her fingers off the keys.
"Bill, If I tell you what I want can you make it happen?" she asked hesitantly
"Of course ma'am"
"Good, then here's what I want. I want support ops in place and I want you back at headquarters to be my eyes and ears . I want to know just exactly what Mallory is up to. He may think he's in charge, but he is in for a very rude awakening."
Eve just sat back and listened to Bill and M discussing the mission when it suddenly occurred to her that M didn't seem to be asking as many questions as someone with no memory should. M appeared to know exactly what she was talking about.
