Ariving at the airport bia MI6 shuttle, 004 pulls a garment bag and another medium sized duffle out of the vehicle and boards the plane.

A member of the staff, Bob, salute him as he enters.

*Waving the man off* No need for that. Is she fully fueled and ready to fly?

Bob: At your disposal.

004: Very good.

Bob: Anything else I can get for you?

004: No, I think that will just about do it.

Bob: Some hot coffee, maybe?

004, shakes his head: No, thank you, but no.

Bob: Some warm milk - to sooth your nerves?

004, looks at the man, politly: I appreciate that, but no.

Bob: Some, Ovaltine, perhaps?

004, pause, a look: NOTHING - else, thank you!!

*Bob, begins to speak*

004 pulls his gun.

Bob: Very well than. I will bid...you...Good-

004: GOODNIGHT!!!

004 pulls the door shut catching one of Bob's fingers on the way up.

004: Sorry!!

A quick check throught the aircraft, storing his gear and checking his beretta, 004 sit in the cockpit, put the headset on and makes contact with the tower.

Hmmm....lets see....Alpha, Blended Whiskey, Fox-Rot, Shower. this is Four Zero Zero Four Niner, requesting clearance for more ice-er...uh, takeoff *small voice* her bra *normal voice* over *small voice* her head. *repeat -

Tower: O'Shawnassey, get a new act. Point you little plane down number 12 before I come out there and -

004: Goodness tower, we seem to be having difficulty, discussing the proper procedure for getting this ariplane off the ground. Perhaps-

Tower: SHOVE IT! Runway 12. Leave. Now. We got **** to do.

004: You were told no more blended scotc-

Tower: ^$&#!^!!!$%$#?*%#*$#%@*

004: Have you ever heard such cruelty?

004 taxis the Lear to runway twelve and runs down the checklist before takeoff.

A few minutes later in the air flying back over the airport.

004: This is Four Zero Zero Four Niner requsting permission for flyby...

Tower: What the hell was that.....no...NO, NO, NO..

004 pushes the throttleforward and performs a gut wrenching dangerously close pass to the tower, reaching Mach I as he passes, leaving the tower personnel with a...large headache.

Tell me how to fly, schmucks.

Quickly pointing the Lear upward, 004 reaches his crusing altitude.

Okay made my pass, they think I headed north. Time to change direction, just about now.

[Genrewriter]

*008 and 003 step outside as 004 flies towards headquarters.*

003: Is that Matt in the cockpit?

008: You realize you are asking a man who at this very moment is seeing pink elephants, don't you?

003: It is, I can tell.

008: How?

003: I can see his face in the cockpit, doofus. He's heading srtaight for us.

*008 looks up and sees the plane flying off away from them.*

008: And you call me a drunk?

003: Maybe it's therapy.

008: that would be my guess. Can we go back inside? The cold air is making my-

003: Stop, please.

*In 002's office, she gets a phjone call as Monepenny enters with a file folder.*

002: Yes? What? Oh boy. Thank you.

M: 004?

002: Oh, no. Just have security keep an eyue on the area. Nothing serious, just 003 and 008 looking for the cat, drunk.

*Moneypenny goes pale, then recovers and exits.*

[Joyce Carrington]

*arrives in Barbados*

*gets taxi to hotel at the beach*

*checks in*

'*goes up to room*

*finds minibar*

*opens it*

EMPTY???!!!!

*faints*

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 check flight log.

Setting new course for....there.

Autopilot engaged. About five hours, give or take.

Then, its time to get damned serious.

Damned serious.

[Joyce Carrington]

*Comes to*

Oh... I passed out... oh well... there's another option...

*gets bikini out of suitcase*

Hope they're serving margaritas...

[Matt O'S oo4]

Meanwhile....five hours later...

004, after landing the Lear, grabs his bags and presents himself to the duty officer of the day.

After going though the ususl formalities, 004 hoists his luggage upon his back and asks where he can get a car.

A car has been provided for you, sir.

Indeed?

Yes, sir. Right this way.

004 follows the attendant to a waiting Lotus.

Hmmm...its been a while since I've been behind the wheel of one of these.

Looking at the attendant: Thank you, very much.

Putting his things in the car, he pulls out his phone and makes a call.

[Joyce Carrington]

009 is reclining on the beach. The sun is just starting to go down. A waiter presents her with a margarita.

009: Thank you, Manuel. Be a dear and get me another one.

Manuel frowns, mumbles something like: women, and walks off.

009 puts on sunglasses.

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 punches up his phone display. Plugs it into the ciggarette lighter cable adapter. Looking at the dash...taps a button.

The phone interfaces with the onboard systems and projects onto a headup display.

Damn clever these British...

Just put the numbers into the SAT NAV and off we go.

004 drives off, following the signal.

[Joyce Carrington]

Manuel returns with the drink. 009 is sleeping in her reclining chair. Manuel grins and decides to leave her there so she will get a sunburn.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Following the signal trace to a resort hotel.

Whoa. Nice one.

Computer voice access.

Contact (looks at name of resort) Atlantis Resourt and casino, book reservation, priority one, full VIP treatment, the usual. Penthouse suite.

Also, I need to find out if a certain individual has check in, room number, all the ususal...

Processing....

[Joyce Carrington]

*wakes up*

*yawns*

009: Oh, hey, Manuel, you're back. *sees dissappointed look on the waiter's face* What's the matter?

Manuel walks off.

009: Oh well.

*looks at sunset*

*sighs*

[Matt O'S oo4]

Matt has luggage brought to a very large suite.

Not bad. I'll take that.

Have the other arrangements been made.

As you requested.

Very good.

Put those things in my room as well.

In your room, sir?

004 give her a look: That's right.

[Joyce Carrington]

*gets up out of chair*

*waves to Manuel*

*walks back to hotel reception*

009: Number 265, please.

Lady: I'm sorry, miss, that room has just been cleared out. Um... cockroaches...

009: Eeigh...

Lady: You have been moved to the penthouse. *hands her key*

009: Um.. okay... thanks...

*gets into elevator*

[Matt O'S oo4]

Joyce takes the elevator to the upper most floor. She had to use her room key to open the elevator doors.

Her eyes go wide as the elevator doors open.

She steps in and looks around at the huge suite....full bar....central fire pit....seperate bedroom......panaramic view of the ocean and beaches...hot tub.....soft music playing.....fresh flowers everywhere.....several bowls of cherries....

009 does a double take - CHERRIES??

A familiar voice: Well, do you like it?

[Joyce Carrington]

In shock, 009 turns around.

004 is standing behind her, dressed... quite casually.

009 opens her mouth to speak. Words won't come out, except a soft: Matt...

004 seems a bit... nervous all of the sudden. Doesn't know what to say either.

Thay stand there for about a minute.

009: Oh, what the hell.

*jumps into his arms and kisses him deeply*

[Matt O'S oo4]

004: I'm glad your here, Joyce.

Holding her for a long time.

004: There is something I've been wanting for a long time.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Whatever. Later. I missed you.

*kisses him again and pushes him into bedroom*

004: Joyce... hold on...

009: What?

[Matt O'S oo4]

"Just a damned minute, lady," 004 says with a full smile on his face.

009: Is something wrong?

Matt picks her up, kissing her all the way into the huge bathroom with full sauna.

Looks into her eyes.

Don't ever say that again. If you're in my arms, in my suite or are looking in my eyes, there is no such THING as something wrong.

Matt stands her on her feet.

He turns on the sauna and sends a soft mist of steam into the room.

Now, it would seem I'm a bit.....*looks at himself and then looks at her in her bikini and then back into her eyes*....overdressed.

Joyce removes his shirt.

Matt closes the door.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Hey... this is better than Bryce's bathroom!

004: Shut up, my dear.

009: Hey... have you been working out?

004: Shut up.

*they kiss again*

[Matt O'S oo4]

Most place ARE better than Bryce's bathrrom. my love.

Holding Joyce, Matt lifts her up and into the jacuzzi.

In a full embrace, Matt tries to speak to Joyce

Look at me. I....want to tell you....uh....

Matt arms are around her and he looks into her eyes and becomes completly, hopeless lost.

The mist in the sauna gets....hotter.

[Joyce Carrington]

Several hours later, Matt and Joyce lay on the bed, eating cherries.

009: So... I guess you got the message from Xen.

*004 nods*

009: I'm glad you came. I really am.

*looks him in the eyes*

009: You already know this, but.... Matt, I love you. Very much. So much that it... scares me sometimes... but I would never want anything else. I was wrong. Sorry.

004: Quite alright.

009: From now on... Never doubt how much I love you. Oh.... and please tell me you took a long leave.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Two weeks.

Just what you wanted.

I wouldn't mind having you for the next 60 years...or so.

She looks up at him...her mouth drops open.

If you don't mind.

009: I... would... not... mind...

*kisses him*

*lights go out*

[Matt O'S oo4]

In the darkness.

Are you sure sixty year is enough?

long kiss

[Joyce Carrington]

Not near enough. But we'll work on it. Now be quiet.

[Genrewriter]

*003 and 008 stumble into 002's office, looking horrible. Sheglances up, smiling thinly.*

002: Did you find the cat?

003: No, we didn't.

002: Ironically enough you both look like something the cat dragged in.

*008 smiles sarcastically.*

002: When I heard you two braintrusts were on your little excursion, I told Moneypenny to notify M. she'll be ready for us in an hour.

008: Us?

002: Yes, seems she has something for the three of us, might be big. A possible lead on 007.

003: She's letting you-?

002: Don't start, something tells me you're seeing two of me right nowe anyway just by looking at your faces.

*003 and 008 have dumb looking grins as their heads flop to the side and sway.*

002: Knock it off and get yourselves cleaned up. Take a shower or something.

*003 and 008 go to their respective offices. 002 sighs in amusement.*

002: Men.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Matt?

004: Hmm?

009: Wake up.

*004 moans*

009: Come on, wake up.

*kisses him on the forehead*

004: Whaddaya... what?

009: Get out of bed and get dressed. I've hired a speedboat for the day... we can go bombing around in it.

*004 opens eyes*

004: Give me five minutes.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Pulls her toward him.

004: Make that fifteen.

009: don't or......we'll never get.....out.....of this....MATT!!

004: Yes?

009: No.

004: NO?

009: yes.

004: Right.

009: (gasp) MATT!!

004: But, you SAID.

009: I did, didn"t I?

004: (laughing) I'm sorry.

008: You ARE?

004: STOP RIGHT THERE! I quit. You win. I getting up.

009: *sigh, to herself, softly*: Sometimes winning is losing.
