The Clock Is Always Right

Connery walked quickly down the rough smooth stone road. He did not have much time left, he spent most of his lunch break looking for some watch store around the New York Stock Exchange but no avail. He was just ready to walk back when he saw a sign that looked straight from the Victorian era with the golden text upon a swing green-painted wood that said, "Andre's Watchshop and repair shop". Connery took a breath of relief and walked through the heavy wooden doors to see large bookcases with a great variety of watches and an old-timey counter with a man in his mid-50s and a green wool vest and a stained button-down shirt. 

Connery walked up to this man, placed the watch on the counter, and said, "Sir, can you fix this watch quickly? Got to go to work soon." The man said, "Yes, after 30 years of fixing watches, I think I will be able to fix it. But a watch is like a person, some people take a long time to fix some take no time at all. Let me take a look at it." The man carefully unscrewed the bottom. He commented to himself, "Huh, this watch is quite stubborn it seems but with a little effort..." and the last bolt came out.  Then he started to look deeply at the watch and carefully started to pull out certain parts. He said, "This watch is quite a mess. I am surprised that it took this long to break. But with a few changes, it should work like new again..... Even though might I ask how you broke it?". 

Connery answered, "I remember I woke up and the damn hand wouldn't even move. I don't know how it would break. It worked fine last night." The man said, "That's where I have a disagreement with you. You taught you mighty with your wall street money and you slept with the wrong woman. Then using some tactics that I learnt over the years I broke watch in your own home without leaving a trace. Now either I can fix your watch and you stop sleeping with anyone's wife or get enlightened about the shadow world. The choice is yours." "Who the hell you think you are? Do you actually believe that man as wealthy as me would just be walking around without any assistance? Bodyguards! Help!", said Connery. 2 men in black suits slammed through the 2 doors and held the man at gunpoint. "Put your hands up now! The police will be here shortly!", said one of the bodyguards.

The man said, "Please the watch is not quite fixed quite yet give me so more time" and just then 4 men with AK-47s ran through a door and yelled in a heavy accent, "Get down on the ground Yankees!" The bodyguards got on the ground while Connery protested. "You know who I am!", he yelled before he was hit with the butt of the AK-47 and fell to the floor. The man grabbed some spare parts and said, "Don't worry, it is almost fixed. It looked hard but in reality, it all came together quite nicely." Then 6 cops broke in with shotguns and pistols and yelled, "All of you get down". One of the cops said, "Andre, you are guilty of drug smuggling, murder, threatening murder and trespassing" Connery got up and said, "Thanks cops for all the help, I will be..." The cop said, "Connery, you are not going anywhere. The bureau got some papers last night from an anonymous source that makes you guilty of insider trading and investment scams. Get on the ground slowly." Connery got back on the ground. The man then placed the last gear and said, "Now the watch is now fixed, I only need to add the finishing touches." Then all of a sudden a machine gunshot through the ceiling killing the cops and the bodyguards while only hitting Connery in the leg. Connery welp in pain.

The man placed the watch next to him and said, "The watch is now finally fixed. I hope you are happy with my service. Unfortunately due to unforeseen complications, I will have to relocate the shop to Colombia for the time being. But if you ever visit Colombia please call this number." Then he threw a business card next to him. He walked upstairs and Connery heard a helicopter take off.
