CHAPTER ELEVEN



     The A4 Manila envelope from M was delivered to Bond by hand. Although halfway through shaving prior to his dinner date with Mrs Snockers and her daughter Bond dealt with it immediately, communications delivered in such a manner from M were always of the utmost importance, code red. This one was no different; written on the envelope in large red lettering were the words ‘007 – For Your Eyes Only’. He ripped open the envelope. Inside was a DVD of the Bond film ‘For Your Eyes Only.” Bond looked at the cover of the DVD in disgust then threw it in the bin. What did he want with a DVD of For Your Eyes Only? Hadn't he already taken part in the actual case, read the book and seen the pathetic attempt at a film.
     He returned to the bathroom and finished shaving. He was just applying his personal after-shave made especially for him by Briggs of Mayfair when M’s voice came from the waste bin: “Don’t be such a cunt Bond, open the bloody DVD case.”
    Bond hastened to the waste bin and retrieved the DVD. He opened the case. The first thing he saw was the tiny transmitter through which M had just addressed him, obviously timed to be activated five minutes after the envelope had been opened. M thought of everything. Bond inspected the disc. Attached to the back of it was a small envelope. Inside the envelope were three pages of typescript. He began to read.
