Unfinished Works

The Originals

As the hour stroke, Monty Bafour made a dash out of the jewellery shop before hopping into the van. He signalled to the driver and it rushed into the normal traffic.

"Did you get it?" a certain Mr. Black questioned.

"Sure did." Monty pulled a spherical black object from his pocket and turned it around. He smiled at the guarantee that he was the only person to truly know the power contained in that globe. The contents of the van, excluding the driver, were gazing passionately at the gem. Good, Monty thought, make them think they have it, then strip it away from them.

"The holder," Bafour requested. Smith gave him a strange, almost glowing tiny blue pedestal. He pushed the sphere into a slot in the holder. A green screen lit up and on it were two options: 'Withdraw or Destroy'. With careful precision he selected withdraw. It buzzed, before ejecting a small USB stick. It returned to the original screen. He pushed 'Destroy'.

"Sorry lads, but it's goodbye," he said, before secretly checking the timer on the bomb.

"What do yah mea-"

"Silence! It wasn't too bad working with you but when you all turned out to be agents I couldn't help but use that to my advantage." Monty slowly made his way to the back door, pulling out a pistol while he did so. "You were so stupid! You never even thought to look into my background. I've dealt with your lot before, I know what to do. He opened the back door of the van. "So long suckers!" he threw himself out and systematically chucked in the sphere at the close door button on the inside. The explosion smashed him through the air and made him land right next to a taxi. "The tower please, Jenkins," he directed towards the driver.

Far, far away in Sydney, Australia...

A man hurriedly staggered into the public toilets in Bondi beach. He limped although the expression on his face clearly stated that he was trying to get away from someone- or something. He staggered to the fourth cubicle and tried to push open the door. It was locked. "Don't do this to me Jay," he shouted, and then paused, as if waiting for a response. "He'll kill me this time!" he yelled, suddenly pleading for mercy. He could see the shadow slowly advancing towards him. "OPEN THIS DOOR!" he rapped his knuckles harder than possible on the door but still no response, "Please?" He stopped hitting the door. It swung open. He started to walk in when-

"Where do you think you're going?" A mechanical voice behind him boomed proudly.

The man swung around to face- the robot. "Jason, I have finally found you and the hiding place. How could you lead me in here, how could you." The voice gradually grew quieter, getting almost disappointed."

"TS-799", Jason uttered, "You were a test sub-". A line of plasma was sent hurtling straight through his head. The mechanical man looked into the cubicle and found nothing. "Arghhh! Monty must have got to him. Oh I will kill that man." Then more quietly "Disguise- activate. I will get the data and nothing shall stop me!"

The old M.I.7 HQ, London...

"Agent C, Agent C do you copy? Uhh, still no answer. Do you think it's him, Jay?"

"Oh it's him alright there's no doubt about it. What worries me is that the TS test troop hasn't reported back yet." Jay chewed his thumb for a while, before saying "Computer, show me the CCTV footage of the outside of Bondi HQ."

A large TV flipped out of the ceiling and began to show what happened over the previous 8 hours. The screen showed how Jason was tortured before dying at the robot's mercy.

"I-it, survived?" He gulped, and then turned to his secretary, "Agent, gather the taskforce- we're going to catch ourselves a robot!"

The Tower Bridge, London...

The lift slowly trundled down a surprisingly wide shaft into a secret base underneath the Thames. "It this it?" Monty questioned as the doors opened with a mechanical hum. "It was much bigger when I worked here!"

"Agent B will you please try to stay on task." said one of the men who had 'escorted' him from the taxi. The room they had entered was full of ancient computers and dust although you could tell people were inside it recently. Jay in the middle of the room, with his back to Monty.

"Guess who found you."
