The Quartermaster's Mission Holiday

The Quartermaster’s Mission Holiday

Another installment in the continuing series of “Stories Sam Isn’t Writing,” here’s a breezy outline for an alternating POV, 00Q meet-cute and romance set at James Bond’s home in Jamaica. This story takes place in an alternate timeline where Bond retired before Q became the new quartermaster. When M dispatches Q to Jamaica to recruit the former-agent back into MI6's service, a new kind of relationship develops.

Q’s POV: Six months after his promotion to Quartermaster, Q is summoned to a private meeting with M in her office. He assumes she’s going to request a mission-status update for 009, but instead M has a top-secret mission assignment for Q. She’s sending him to Jamaica to get in touch with the former 007, who retired from MI6 a couple years ago, and disappeared without a trace. James Bond’s reputation is legendary; Q has heard plenty of stories about Bond’s lethal exploits and incorrigible charm. And now M says it’s up to Q to convince Bond to return to the service; MI6 needs him back as 007.

This is a ludicrous task for Q—convincing a complete stranger to return to the agency he walked away from years ago! Nevertheless, M insists. She reassures Q that Bond has always had respect for his quartermasters. Her mouth turns up in a private smile. “He likes smart. And you’re the smartest employee I’ve got.” Given no choice in the matter, Q is promptly packed off to Bond’s location—a location so secret that only M knows it, and which Q is forbidden from sharing with anyone—with a promise that M will contact Bond to forewarn him of Q’s coming. 

Bond’s POV: Bond gets a phone call from M informing him she’s calling in an old favor. Bond says, “You don’t have any left.” She laughs, “I still have an infinite number of favors, considering I’m single-handedly keeping the tax office from sniffing out your years of gambling winnings.” Bond snarls with begrudged fondness. 

M tells Bond that her new quartermaster’s identity has been compromised by an enemy faction, and she’s intercepted word of a hit out on him. She’s sending Q off the grid—to Bond—for protection while she eliminates the source of the danger. Q will be covertly shadowed as far as Bond’s door, and then Q’s safety will be Bond’s responsibility. Bond acts pissed off, but he has been feeling restless lately. This mission should spice up the boredom.

Q’s POV: Bond is indeed expecting him when Q arrives at Bond’s waterfront cabin on a secluded, private beach in Jamaica, and Q’s reception goes better than he expected. (He was prepared for Bond to shut him out or threaten to shoot him.) Bond welcomes Q inside and gives him a tour of the small but scenic cabin. Bond isn’t unfriendly, but he lays out strict ground rules for staying in his home, including keeping away from the rear windows, never going more than 50 yards from the cabin alone, and drilling Q on the locations of all the spare guns, etc. 

Q assumes Bond is a paranoid veteran who’s going batty in retirement. Over beers on the dock that first evening, admiring the truly stunning sunset, Q bluntly informs Bond that he’s been sent to recruit Bond back to MI6. Bond scoffs, “No you haven’t.” Q assures Bond that M needs him back as 007. Bond corrects him that M says Q needs protection from an international hit. Q bursts out laughing. Bond assures him that M swears Q’s life is in danger, and Bond is meant to see to Q’s protection for the next short while. 

“That’s even more preposterous than my own mission,” Q marvels. “My god, I must really have been sent to recruit you back, if that’s the story she sold you.” Bond presses Q on his certainty. “I would know if my cover ID had been breached; I have alerts tracking that.” Q dips his toes in the water and sighs. “No, unless she’s lied to both of us, and there’s some secret, third reason for my trip, I’d say my version makes far more sense than yours. For all that my mission seems destined to disappoint her.” Q offers some scathing assessments of Bond’s lack of field readiness, disparages Bond’s fitness, etc. Bond is more than a bit bemused as he watches Q lay into him, recalling a similar conversation with a vivacious brunette 10 years prior.

Alternating POVs: Over the next few days, Bond insists on keeping Q within his sights at all times. They go out fishing on Bond’s yacht and spend time reading, walking the beach, and snorkeling. They discuss Bond’s last mission—the one that drove him to retire. Q makes a few earnest attempts to sell Bond on Q being a good quartermaster, extolling his own intelligence and the kinds of digital support he and his revamped branch offer to agents nowadays. (It would be an easier sell if he’d been permitted to bring any of his MI6 equipment with him. Or if Bond allowed WiFi at his home.) Bond seems to find Q’s earnestness endearing and amusing. And Q is frustrated by Bond’s lack of interest in all things MI6 and his continuing belief in a threat to Q’s life. 

Although, the more time Q spends enjoying the fresh air and sunshine and disturbing lack of technology, the more Q suspects Medical of whispering in M’s ear. He’s received more than a few cautioning lectures about burnout since his appointment as quartermaster, and yes he knows they have a valid point, but there’s simply too much work to do, getting the branch modernized and hiring staff with newer skill sets. The prospect of this “mission” being a mandatory holiday galls, but at the same time it’s putting his recent lack of a personal life into perspective. God knows, he hasn’t even had time to open Grindr since he took the job….

Q and Bond sleep together on day 3, and it's such a thoroughly satisfying experience for both of them that they continue to do so. The less they talk about threats to Q and the merits of MI6, the better they get along, until they start to actually enjoy one another’s company. Bond is surprised to realize that he was perhaps lonely prior to Q’s arrival.

On Day 5, mercenaries actually do come to assassinate Q. Bond kills them with a good deal more skill than Q had expected, living up to his legend and then some. Once the last man is dead, Bond reports the attack to M. Q hacks into the mercenaries’ phones and sends their recent money-transfer records to M. An hour later, M calls back that they’ve identified the mole in MI6 who sold Q out, and she has dispatched another double-0 to eliminate the mole’s foreign handler. Q asks whether it’s safe to return to MI6 now, and she says to give them a couple more days to establish a new cover identity for him. Q asks about his ‘mission’ to recruit Bond. She tells Q to disregard those orders and advises Q to relax: “Medical says you’re due a holiday.” All he can do is laugh at the irony.

Bond and Q dispose of the corpses in an illegal limestone quarry that Bond just so happens to know about, some ten miles inland. They have sex a few more times, including on Bond’s yacht. And now that the threat to Q has passed, Bond drives Q around the island to see the sights. Bond belatedly notices that, while his vigilance naturally ramped up once he took charge of Q’s security, Bond hasn’t truly let his guard down in the two years since he left the service. Always looking over his shoulder, always defensive. What kind of a retirement to civilian life was that?

After two more days, Bond drives Q to the airport, and they say their goodbyes. “Look me up if you’re ever in London,” Q says, and Bond laughs as though he can’t read the sincerity in Q’s eyes. Q nods his acceptance and returns to London well-rested and tanned and with many fond memories of Bond and his tropical paradise retreat. The combination of man and locale could almost have been heaven, if only Q’s cats had been there with him. And if he were allowed to set up a WiFi router.

A week later, Bond seals up his cabin on the cove and takes to the sea, his course set for the UK. He arrives at Q’s door with three suitcases and a saucy grin. He gives a stunned Q a kiss on the cheek in greeting and says, “After letting you crash at my home for a week, I’ve decided you should return the favor.” Q welcomes him in, looks at his three suitcases, and asks, “How long are you planning to stay?” Bond checks around Q’s cottage, confirms there’s no sign of a partner in Q’s life, and pulls Q into a proper kiss, the kind he’s been missing ever since Q left Jamaica. “However long it takes MI6 to find me a new flat.” Q is stunned. “What…you’re back at MI6?” “You were very convincing, Quartermaster.” Q grabs Bond and kisses him passionately. 

The End.

Jamaica's Prime Minister, the Hon. Donald Sangster (centre) hosts Prince Rainier and Princess Grace at a luncheon at Vale Royal in January 1967 during the princely family holidays. In this rare picture, Mr. Sangster appears speaking with the Prince (right), and Mr Arthur Little (behind the Prince) while Miss Hope Sealy (second from left) Head of the Public Relations Department of the Jamaica Tourist Board, converses with Princess Grace.

Princess Grace of Monaco brought her signature elegance to Kingston during a visit with Prince Rainier, touring historic sites like King’s House and Vale Royal. Dressed in a chic Kelly green linen ensemble, she expressed admiration for Jamaica’s vibrant flora and left a lasting impression of grace and warmth on her hosts and the city.

Rainiers call on GG, Acting PM, tour city

Their Royal Highnesses, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco, flew in from Montego Bay yesterday morning to meet Their Excellencies, the Governor General, Sir Clifford Campbell, and Lady Campbell, at King’s House and then to lunch with the Acting Prime Minister, the Hon. Donald Sangster, at Vale Royal.

To wind up their visit to the capital, they later toured the zoo at Hope Gardens, and the University of the West Indies, and drove through downtown Kingston before leaving at 4:30 p.m. on the return trip to Montego Bay.

Arriving at King’s House at about 11:45, the Royal couple were escorted by police outriders and accompanied by Mr. Sangster in the Prime Minister’s black Cadillac Fleetwood motor car flying the ensign of Jamaica’s political head.

The other cars at the Royal party were carried by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Little, hosts to the visitors, Mr Marcel Palmaro, Consul General for Monaco in New York, and Mrs Palmaro. The Chief of Staff, Jamaican Defence Force, Brigadier David Smith, and the Acting Commissioner of Police, Mr Jack Middleton, also travelled with the convoy. The introductions were made by Mr. Sangster. Sir Clifford, in turn, presented to Prince Rainier and Princess Grace his secretary, Mr. Neville Smith, and his private secretary, Miss Phyllis Clarke, in the lobby downstairs.

After drinks in the living room upstairs, the visitors bade farewell, with a wish from Sir Clifford for their early return.

At Vale Royal, the first guest to be presented was Mrs. Iris Sangster, aunt of the host. On the patio before lunch, drinks were served, and the luncheon guests were presented to the Royal couple. Other luncheon guests were Mr and Mrs James Lloyd, Mr and Mrs John Pringle, Mr Theodore Sealy, and Miss Hope Sealy.

Jamaican straw mats with raffia embroidery featuring a floral motif decorated the table at which the party of 14 lunched. The visitors were taken on a tour of Vale Royal just as they had done of some sections of King’s House, and Princess Grace expressed her admiration for the many flowers in bloom.

Princess Grace was dressed in a Kelly green linen skimmer for her Kingston trip, made with a tunic overskirt and a tailored band at the back. Her honey-blonde hair was characteristically styled in the pageboy hairdo for which the former movie star Grace Kelly was well-known and held at the top with a white headband.

The petite Princess, standing at barely five feet, wore white patent leather shoes, and carried a matching handbag, with her only jewels being a gold brooch worn on the bodice of her dress and emerald-and-diamond earrings.

Portrait of Elizabeth, Lady Webster

Artist: Louis Gauffier (French, 1762–1801)

Title: Portrait of Elizabeth, Lady Webster, Later Lady Holland, in a White Dress with her Spaniel Pierrot

Date: circa 1795

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Private Collection

Portrait of Lady Webster

Gauffier painted the present portrait, one of the most compelling likenesses of his Florentine period, two years after he had settled in the Arno City. Elizabeth Vassall, successively Lady Webster and Lady Holland (1771-1845), was the only child of Richard Vassall, who owned extensive estates in Jamaica. In 1786 she married Sir Geoffrey Webster, Bt. of Battle Abbey (1748-1800). In June 1791 Lady Webster left England for Paris. She subsequently travelled extensively, accompanied at times by her husband, briefly visiting Florence in June 1793. She returned to the city on 8 January 1794, leaving some five weeks later for Rome and Naples, but was back in Florence in June, remaining in Tuscany for over a year. Her marriage, never happy, broke down irretrievably in 1795, and Henry Richard Fox, 3rd Lord Holland, whom she met on his Grand Tour in January 1794, was widely known to be her lover: following the birth of their son and her divorce in 1796, they married in July 1797. Lady Holland was to become one of the most forceful women of her generation, and it was due in large measure to her personality that Holland House had so central a place in political and intellectual life until her husband's death in 1840.
