09 - Fire in the Hole
At the sound of Renards voice, Bond whipped out the Walther. The whine of a lift began and Bond saw Renard, dressed in Russian Army fatigues, lowering himself on a platform. Bond stole through the shadows to meet the terrorist, keeping his head down as Renard descended. As Renard stepped off the lift, Bond came face to face with him and smiled. The gun was pointing at Renard’s chcst.
‘Mister Bond,’ he said, obviously surprised.
‘Expecting Davidov perhaps?’ Bond asked. ‘He caught a bullet instead of the plane.’ Bond yanked him away from the lift and shoved him against a wall, out of sight. ‘Keep your mouth shut. Don’t move.’
Renard all but laughed. ‘You can’t kill me, Mister Bond,’ he said. ‘I'm already dead.’
‘Not dead enough for me.’
Finally confronting the man who was responsible for murdering Sir Robert King, 0012 and countless others . . . as well as kidnapping and raping Elektra King . . . Bond had to control himself to keep from blowing Renard’s brains out then and there. It would have been a pleasure. Unfortunately, he needed a bit more time, during which the terrorist might reveal a little of the scheme he had concocted. Such people always did.
Renard had shrugged away his surprise and now appeared to be fully confident. He looked at Bond with a twinkle in his good eye. The other one stared straight ahead, unblinking, cold and lifeless. A smile played on half of Renard’s face, but the other comer of his mouth turned down in a grimace. The shiny red lump at his temple only added to the man’s bizarre appearance.
You could show a little gratitude. I did spare you life in the banker’s office.' Renard was beginning to enjoy himself. ‘Oh! But that’s nght . . . ! I couldn’t kill you. You were working for me! I needed you to deliver the money. To kill King. Thank you for that. Well done. And now you’ve brought me the plane. It seems that I can always count on MI6.’
Bond ignored the taunt. ‘What’s your plan with that
bomb?’
Renard seemed totally fearless. ‘You first. Or could it be you don’t have a plan?’
Unfortunately, he had spoken an uncomfortable truth. Bond needed to buy time in order to work out what to do.
‘That bomb won’t leave this room,’ he said.
‘Neither will you,’ Renard said, chuckling.
Bond risked a glance at the pit to see what the workers were doing with the bomb.
‘How sad,’ Renard continued. To be threatened by a man who can’t grasp what he’s caught up in. You haven’t a clue, have you?’
‘Revenge isn’t hard to fathom from a man who believes in nothing.’
Renard laughed. ‘And what do you believe in? Preservation of capital? You ’re nothing but a dim-witted bouncer at a fancy English club run by your betters. Too busy chasing the member;’ daughters to do your job. Shoot me. I welcome it. The men down there will hear the shot. They will kill you and get away with the bomb.
