GREAT! I'm starved.

*starts eating*

*004 looks at her*

009: Oh, sorry, should I leave some for you?

[Matt O'S oo4]

No. Thats yours.
Mine's over here.

009 can see a platter of the same items she has but nearly a double portion.

004: Almost forgot. The steak is ready as well. Care for any?

jam, and...haggis

[Joyce Carrington]

Steak? Very well.

*finishes breakfast*

That was wonderful, my dear. Now.. *looks at watch* We'd better be off to work. Need a ride?

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 gives her that look.

004: We ARE ooing to work...aren't we?

[Joyce Carrington]

009: This time UNFORTUNATELY we are going to work. Hey, it's not like those evil masterminds sit around and do nothing.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Pity. Too true, but a pity.

How about we each take our own cars. A little rally on the way to work might be a good exercise.

[Joyce Carrington]

Hmmm... good idea. I'll race you.

*they get into their cars*

Ready? Set?

GO!

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 puts the pedal down and his Lagonda and 009's BMW rip out into the streets. Tires clawing and screaming at the pavement.

004: Lets see what the lady's got.

[Joyce Carrington]

009's BMW speeds up and gets ahead of 004's Lagonda.

009: Catch me if you can!

She turns onto the right side of the road. Honking cars quickly get out of her way.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Don't yell at them, my dear, just go around them.

004 opens the Lagonda up and weaves left and right, cutting across lanes and spinning out a mini in the process. 004 looks back at the mini which does not get hit by other vehicles on the road.

009 pushes her car hard and suddenly takes a corner to the right, taking 009 off guard. 004 quickly turns his wheel to the left, throws the car into reverse and pulls hard on the e-brake, , spinning his vehicle in a 180, drops off the e-brake and moving backward quicky, he quickly in 009's direction, he spins the wheel to the right, straighten the car, and slamms the car into forward, keeping the Lagonda on track and in purstui of 009.

Slipperly, my lady, very, very....

004 acclerates and moves in behind 009, waving and smiling.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Just you wait, my dear.

The BMW Z3 makes a sharp turn into an alley.

009: Don't forget my... hidden assets.

The car lifts off the ground and shoots into the sky.

[Matt O'S oo4]

004, looking up: My dear, I didn't realize you want to be on.....

004 opens his Lagonda all the way and shoots past 009, albiet on the ground. He attempts to make contact via onboard VOX.

Oh, Joyce.....*smiling* you cheated, my dear.....

[Joyce Carrington]

*grins*

What? Uh.. sorry, Matt, I can't hear you that well. WHAT you say?

*switches onboard VOX off*

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 smiles and shakes his head: Oh, deary me, oh, my. She wants to play it that way....sigh. Okay.

004 slows his vehicle down slightly and accesses into MI6 security via VOX.

MI6, this is Matthew O'Shawnassey - 004. Please verify voice pattern.

MI6: Recognized.

004: Joyce Carrington's BMW Z3 has been compromised. Repeat. Joyce Carrington's BMW Z3 has been compromised.

MI&: Requested action? Please specify.

004: Access central flight computer onboard 009's Z3 and force vehicle to make a controlled and safe landing. Do not disable the car, just assume control of the flight system and bring her in for a landing.

MI6: Understood. We are accessing.

009's car above hovers for a moment and begins to decend slowly.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: What the - HEY!

*looks at 004's car*

009: Oh, you think you've got me now, don't you?

*car lands on ground*

009: Yee-hah!

*speeds up and catches up with 004*

[Matt O'S oo4]

Play time is over.

Lets rock.

Glancing at SAT NAV system. Just a kilometer or so.

004 punches the Lagonda flat out - 009 drops back a bit but begins to catch 004 very rapidly.

Both cars together round a corner and another, left then right, matching each other turn for turn. A few pedestrians have to scramble out of the way here and there and a bike messenger has to dodge the pair of autos by cutting to the left and entering a resturant. A large crash can be heard from the street.

Not ahead, but approaching the MI6 garage, 004 lets off the pedal and allows 009 to pull in first.

009, laughing and over 004's VOX: Why did you do that? You could have won!

004: It just would not be appropriate, dear lady!

009: WHat? Why, not.

004: Sorry but, ladies first.....

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Your mistake.

*they park their cars*

*009 gets out*

*taps on 004's car window*

004: Yes?

009: I want a rematch.

004: But you won!

009: Because you let me win.

004: But-

*009 puts one finger to his lips*

009: You are a real gentleman. But I deserve a fair game.

*scratches behind ear*

009: You play cards?

[Matt O'S oo4]

My love, that will either be a very long or very short game.

Your on.

Let's go in, my lady!

[Joyce Carrington]

As she follows him into the elevator, 009 mumbles to herself:

Very short indeed. You won't know what hit you.

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 smiles as he removes the sub-vocal unit in his ear, showing it to 009.

I hope so. I REALLY need a good *** kicking. Especially from you.

*Kisses her*

Coffee....oops, sorry....Cuppacino?

[Matt O'S oo4]

Returning to the office is pretty standard fare.

Checking on message sent....updates from around the globe...coffee with cream, sugar and other additives...slipping in a kiss to 009.....an hour or two on the friing range....an hour or so in the gym....a shower....lunch.....a briefing with Tanner....setting 006's office on fire....

Pretty standard stuff.

We don't really hate 006. It's true...we don't....we just don't have the time to sneak in and set fire to MI5's offices that often!

After putting out 006 and applying a bit of bandage and duct tape to hold him together.

004 and 009 met for dinner early that evening.....

[Joyce Carrington]

009: So... ready for a little game?

*takes out deck of cards and starts performing the most acrobatic ways of shuffling them*

004: Uh... yes. Absolutely.

009: Good. Any preference?

[Matt O'S oo4]

Depends.

What are we playing for?

Points?
Money?
Shots?
Clothing?

004: I don't think we need cards for ANY of those, but....if you insist.

009 smiles: Yes, well, we could -

What is the game?

Stud Poker?
Draw Poker?
Baseball?
Indian Poker?
Baccarra?
Black Jack?

009: Welll, I -

Gin Rummy?
Go Fish?
Hearts?
Spades?

009: HEY!!!

004, ahem: Sorry

[Joyce Carrington]

Ooooh, aren't we cheeky?

*turns very serious*

Money. I'm not kidding.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Haven't seen this side of you before.

I am intrigued.

*Very serious* Let's play.

How about, the loser pays for dinner - no matter what?

[Joyce Carrington]

Deal.

*she gets a bottle of bl- ahem REGULAR Scotch and sits down at the table*

*looks at 004*

Well?

[Matt O'S oo4]

Looks at 009.

Looks at bottle of scotch.

Looks back to 009.

My dearest lady, uh....regular scotch IS blended.

Lets try MY vintage. A liter bottle of SINGLE MALT MacCallan - aged 21 years.

I ithink you'll find that to be very agreeable.

Now, let me get my cards.

Is there a game you prefer?

[Joyce Carrington]

Um...

*looks at the blended Scotch*

*quickly grabs it*

Blackjack?

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 raises an eyebrow.

You know the odds favor the house in such games.

And as dealer, I would be the house?
