My words.

Above and below were cliffs. On Bonds outward journey it had taken him fifty minutes to cross this dump of outsize nursery bricks; even now he could not hope to do it in less than thirty. Still, once past it there was a short rise More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg to a level platform of rock, firehouse subs

after that an easy descent to the beach and the boat. On with it, then. In the event it took him well over the half-hour. He was moving up on to the rock platform when a man on the far More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg side of it got up and levelled a revolver at him. He was rachel alexandra

tall man in a cheap dark suit, now crumpled and torn. Binoculars in a green plastic case were slung across his shoulder. He said in a thick Russian accent, Good morning, Mister Shems More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg Bond, and sniggered. Bond stood stock still and waited. I see you from . . . up, the man went wes studi

in a tone of good-humoured explanation. Now . . . we go up. He pointed to the hillside with his left hand. Bond made no move. No? Then . More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg . . shoot you. Not too bad. The Russian slapped his leg. Friend of me . . . up. He made hoisting and carrying dusty miller

but the revolver never wavered. Is difficult. You fall maybe. Me . . . thats all right. Another snigger. It was plain More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg enough. The only hope was to wait for a chance of finding a moments cover from the revolver during the proposed climb and before the absent friend made his appearance. firehouse subs

nodded. Good boy. A gold-toothed grin. Come to here. The left hand indicated a point on More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg the platform well beyond rushing distance. Bond went to it. Now . . . gun of you. Slow, please. Slow slow. The revolver pointed steadily at Bonds breast-bone. Nobody can aim and fire faster than a man already justfuns in

aim can fire. Helplessly, Bond took the Walther from More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg his hip pocket and held it out in the palm of his hand. Intelligent. Throw . . . away. Another chance gone. Bond tossed his automatic aside and heard it land on rock. Friend of you - a gesture towards the beach - no good, nurses week

Now . . More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg . walk, Mister Bond. Slow slow. Bond was on the point of obeying when the other lurched abruptly as if slapped hard on the back and the unmistakable sharp bang of a medium-calibre cartridge came apparently from beneath their feet, immediately followed by the sound, thin More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg but clear, of a firehouse subs

being pulled back and returned. There was one echo of the shot, distant and delayed. The mans gun-arm had dropped. His eyes held Bonds with a dreadful look of puzzlement, of pleading to be told how this thing could have happened. Bond More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg said hoarsely, Youve been shot with a rifle, from the rachel alexandra

His heart was thumping. He never knew if his message was understood. The Russian had half turned to look behind him when a second shot flung him off balance. He went down the slope in More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg a sort of slack-limbed dive and finished with his face in a heap of small stones. nurses week

was a patch of blood on one shoulder-blade and another above the hip. After scooping up the Walther Bond made it to the beach in two minutes. Litsas had the More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg dinghy already in the water, pushed off at once and grabbed the oars. Good shooting, Niko, said Bond at length. Not bad, eh? Uphill rachel alexandra

but fighting in Greece makes you used to that. Anyhow, not more than two hundred yards. I dropped a Jerry staff-sergeant once at More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg six hundred with that little beauty. He gave the Lee Enfield, now lying across Bonds lap, an affectionate nod. These fellows today forget all about the rifle. If supreme court justices

see nothing for fifty feet all round they think theyre safe. Eh, I bet our friend up More Page More Page Mysteryshoporg there had a very big shock when I hit him. He did, said Bond in a hard voice, remembering the look on the mans face. I was watching jolly carefully but I had no idea he justfuns in
