M almost charged along the MI6 hallways with Villiers having to jog to keep up with her, telling her about their agents and the missions they had been assigned but she didn't care about that she wanted to know about Bond. They turned into her office where she slammed down into her seat leaving Villiers to catch his breath.

"Tell me about Bond." She demanded.

"Three days ago the Shari family hacked into the CIA and stole one of their drones. They then used it to blow up a house just outside спрятанный."

"So?" She growled.

"So, our informants have told us that the house belonged to Alexis Berezin an arms dealer until two years ago when he owed rather a lot of money and so handed it over."

"To who?" Villiers really had her attention. He paused for dramatic effect and to prepare himself to run from the room.

"Le Chiffre." The name made her blood boil how she wanted to kill that man with her own hands.

"Is he dead?"

"No, his plane was seen leaving about an hour later, it was downed a day later over the Pacific he had a lot of time to escape somewhere."

"So Le Chiffre lives, wonderful."

"Wonderful, ma'am?"

"Yes. It means that when we do get our hands of the bastard we can thoroughly interrogate him, for information on Bond."

"You still think he is alive don't you?" Villiers said in a hushed tone.

"We have never found his body, Le Chiffre would have left him somewhere we would have found him. We haven't so Bond is alive and my guess would be that Le Chiffre has him."

The two stood in silence for a few moments both thinking about the double-0 agent. MI6 had carried on but pieces were still being glued back into place. M broke the silence startling Villiers.

"Find Le Chiffre, send all available agents we have but find him, find Bond. Oh and make sure that Le Chiffre is alive when we bring him in."

"Yes Ma'am."

Villiers left the room with a large weight on his shoulders, if James wasn't dead Villiers was sure that he wanted to be. Still Villiers had his orders and like always he would follow them. He had to, he always followed his orders to the letter. He had no idea where he would start though.
