[ Picture message from 555-904-7933. Shows the Aston Martin parked about a block away from Stark's offices, street signs visible. No text or anything else attached. ]

[just... solo action or something]

[Bond is naturally cautious when he receives a message like this, but it seems like too much of an easy offer to turn down. Perhaps too easy. But, the only way to find out about traps is springing them.

He arrives where he should, scouts the area first from apartment complexes and rooftops, looking out for any sign of snipers or thugs or whatever else might be hiding around, and only when he's satisfied does he sneak to the car. It's a rather ungracious method of breaking in, but it's the quickest, so he's smashing in the side window, getting the door open and hot wiring the thing.

When he's safely several blocks away without fear of a tail does he send a text message in the assumption it may get back to her. A simple 'Thank you'.]
