The Split-Up

Anne Tanner

The next morning, Bond rousts Team Omega up from the hotel room he bought for them to hide out.

"You know you are all dead men, ehh women".

Anne was the most upset.

"Why would they sacrifice us like that?"

"To cover up the fact that MI6 was stealing the documents."

Bond proceeded to divide up the Pakistani documents into 5 parcels for them to Escape & Evade.

"I'm the only one who is supposed to be out in the open. I was not even supposed to be there. You on the other hand are dead men...and what happens when they don't find our bodies in the rubble?"

Stoyen was quick on his feet.

"That didn't stop them from concocting that 9/11 was done by ragheads in mythical airliners, did it?"

Bond miles wryly.

Heinlen was more pragmatic.

"Yes, but MI6 will know we escaped...we will never be able to come in from the cold..."

Bond knew what to do.

"Give me some time, we have leverage with the documents. I want all of you to separate and take different approaches and routes. Anne, you go to ground. You don't budge for 14 days. Sheila you go find a NGO [non-governmental organization] and offer your services. John, you become a tourist and go find some ruins to occupy your mind. Heinlen, you go find a cargo ship after the hunt dies down and get back to a suburb of London and set up a safe house using only cash. Talk to no one. Everyone meets me in 30 days at Trafalgar square under the Nelson statue at noon on November 30th. Got it?"

Team Omega agreed and departed.
