Default TavernTales 8: The Underground

I looked at my notebook and found that I am outpacing my posting by about 6 stories right now so if anything if I ever get tired of writing this you folks who actually read would be good for another 2-3 weeks after I'm done.

With that said, it's about time for world's to start collapsing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Underground
The Professor handed Flunkie and Aladuf watches, "Remember there is very little room for error here. Bond may be on the wrong side, but I still respect the man's mind."

Aladuf returned to a question that he and Flunkie both posed to the Professor several times, "How do you know so much about GAMES HQ?"

The Professor finally felt it was time to tame them with an answer, "You can't expect Bond to be able to checkout everyone he hires. Some just get in through the cracks." The Professor smirked as Aladuf and Flunkie looked on still confused.

"When we make it out of there safely, I will give you more answers. For now, the sun is breaking. Let's move." The Professor spoke in such a tone that even his orders seemed diplomatic.

Aladuf and Flunkie gathered their gear still unsure of what they got themselves into.
------------------------------
The outer wall of the GAMES' sewage system blew away down a flood of rushing water.

"Excellent, phase one complete!" Flunkie exclaimed.

"Silent fool. What did I tell you about keeping your head clear. Bond obviously did not expect much resistance at the wall. There was no booby traps or secondary triggers. This is a simple lure."

"A lure? We just wasted about a pound of explosives!" Aladuf with a temper showing responded.

"Of course, we did, but we made it through on our first try. And as you can see," The Professor pointed around them, "nothing else has happened. Bond has surely created this easy entrance to give would be criminals a false sense of security. What lies inside, I fear will be a much more difficult task."

"Professor.. with all due respect..." Aladuf was hestitant to continue with his statement, "maybe this Bond is not as impressive as you remember. Maybe, once he left the safety of a controlled environment, he lost a step or two."

"Trust me boy," The Professor had a look of joy in his face, "Bond is very much the same student who left me over 10 years ago. A lot more dangerous now than you could imagine. The safety of the classroom only dampened his imagination!"

"We can discuss this later. Bond is not even here, but we are wasting precious minutes." Flunkie finally interjected himself into the conversation.

The Professor nodded his head. The three men made their way down the sewage system in complete silence until they came to a fork in their path.

"Now this is why you two were needed. This Bond who you claimed may have lost a step of two created three trigger points that must be hit within a small window of time for us to advance any further. Any miscalculation or we miss the world, and we may have to kiss this Earth goodbye. So once again I remind you, there is no grounds for messing up. Now everyone sync up."

Aladuf, Flunkie and The Professor all synced their watches to the precious millisecond. There were to be no chances taken on this endeavor.

"Okay everyone knows the plan so let's move out. And good luck to you both!" Those were The Professor's final words before he disappeared down the central path.
---------------------------------------------

And they are off.
