The contract had now been sealed in blood as punishment for the snipers blatant disregard for the criminals authority. As it came apparent that the SM that had been carved into his chest by the raven haired man was infact the equivalent of the his signature but with a bit more meaning. The spider smirked as he moved the piece of paper with the signatures on it into the back of the pile that was now the binding contract between the two of them. "You know you're not the first to try and be cocky with me and get a contract bound in blood." Moriarty's tone became rather dark as he placed the papers in a draw of the desk before continuing, "Though the last man to try it ended up dead, it was that sort of contract" Jim shrugged the notion off before moving to stand directly in front of his new found sniper.

Sebastian had never experienced so much pain in a short space of time, though when he thought about it that wasn't exactly true. The blonde couldn't help but reminisce about a certain event that got him kicked out of the army and a smirked appeared on his face. "You know you're not the first one to try and force me into something I didn't want to do today" Sebastian's tone almost mimicked the criminals exactly as he began to untie his other hand with the free hand that he was supposed to use to sign the contract by hand. "Though I can't promise that I will work my hardest to protect you just yet" Sebastian grabbed the switchblade out of his pocket and began to cut at the rope tied around his leg, though as he became free of the rope that had bound him to the chair he could see that the criminal was displaying an unusual expression, something almost sinister but innocent at the same time.

"Oh don't worry Sebastian, all I need really is your cooperation" Jim replied as he turned around and headed for the exit to the room, "I'll have someone escort you to your new quarters" Jim pointed to the rather large man standing outside of the door before moving in the opposite direction that Seb was being taken heading towards his office with a smile as wide as the Cheshire cats out of a rather famous tale. "Now it's your turn M, what will you do" Jim's tone was sweetly sour as he whispered the words to the empty room knowing that this strike would be potentially disastrous for the opposing force.

Meanwhile at MI6 a slightly concerned Bond was now racking the Quartermaster's brains for the information that would lead to them both finding Sebastian Moran and hopefully trying to fix the current situation that was at hand, though that eventually they would find out that that sort of information would be very hard to come by. "Is there anything that you've got yet Q" Bond questioned as he paced by the young dark haired man's desk, "No James and would you mind pacing somewhere else it's distracting" Q responded with a rather impatient tone as the agent had in fact been facing around the Q branch office for all of two hours as they both tried to find the missing man of action. There was nothing that the dark haired man could do to help James any quicker than he was already doing and it was frustrating for the both of them.

Soon the realization set on Q that James Moriarty was a man that could hide from the government and the secret service if he wanted to because he had all the right pawns in all the right places, but that didn't mean the genius was going to give up. "There might be something we can do to pick up the pace, but I'm not sure if it's going to work" Q turned to James who had reluctantly sat down in the desk behind the Quartermaster's. "What is it" 007 questioned as he suddenly stood up. "We won't be able to find Moriarty directly fast enough but if we hunt down some of his subordinates in certain prime locations and you apply a bit of pressure to them it should speed up the pace" Q sounded almost hopefully which was a strange thing for James to see but he wasn't about to give up on Moran now. "I'll head straight to Tanner maybe he can help locate some of these operatives, you stay here and try and track some down, let me know as soon as something comes up".

With that the agent moved swiftly out of Q branch and headed back for M's office where he would find Tanner working away at his desk as per usual, though little did James know that Sebastian had already entered the spiders web and once you've been caught in the web it's almost impossible to escape from it alive.

The new head of security had just been escorted to his new found quarters apparently apart of the perks of the new job. Though the door to this room seemed to be plain when he walked inside the blonde found that this room was far from plain. The walls had been covered in some sort of camouflage wallpaper some sort of joke from Jim, Sebastian assumed, the bed was a large double filling up most of the back wall of the room with a small chest of draws just to the left of it with a lamp placed on the top of the mahogany chest. Though what interested the sniper the most was in fact the cupboard that was placed in the middle of the wall with the door. The blonde swiftly moved into the room to get a closer look at everything, though as soon as he entered he heard the door close behind him obviously by the large man that had escorted him, which meant not much chance of a guided tour around the apartment then Moran thought to himself letting out a small aired laugh before turning back to the mysterious closet in the room. Slowly reaching for the handles of the closet the sniper pulled the doors open only for them to reveal inside an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare sniper rifle, a Barrett M82, Barrett XM109 and a M110 Semi-Automatic along with other sniper rifles and plenty of ammo for each device though there was also a couple of handguns which included the Beretta M9 as well as M11 the sniper assumed he would only really need to use for close range targets. Though there also seemed to be a range of knives in a draw along with other equipment the sniper would need in his new position.

Sebastian closed the closet and moved towards the door thinking that it would locked but apparently not. The sniper grabbed one of the handguns out of the closet quickly and placed it into the back of his trousers and his moved through the apartment he found that the large man that had escorted him was nowhere to be seen neither were any other form of security which seemed far too easy from what the blonde had learned about the criminal. Though Moran continued his journey back to the place where the two of them had split and continued forward and searched the rooms around the rough direction that Jim had headed in, before he finally found the door to the raven haired man's office.

"Oh Sebastian I see you're eager to get to work, your first task is easy enough to deal with" Jim didn't look up from the laptop as he surfed through the information that he'd just received from his personal source inside MI6. "I need you to take out one of the Lords from Parliament, he's a loose end and I can't afford to have those in my line of work, of course unless I make them." Jim couldn't help but have a snarky tone in his voice almost expressing his enthusiasm about this policy. Though there was something that Jim failed to mention to the blonde as he looked at desk in front of him where a brand new Iphone sat encased with a protective case obviously for high shock absorption but what would a so called businessman like Jim want with a case like that as it was obvious that the man didn't get his hands dirty unless completely necessary. "What's that" Sebastian questioned as he picked up the phone not caring much for the target's details.
"Oh that thing, it's a new toy for you so I can keep in contact with you on missions or when you're generally out and about." Jim almost laughed as he glanced up from his screen then went back to looking at the information that the tricky little Quartermaster had just got his hands on. For the battle for Moran was only just beginning and Jim couldn't have the enemy having any sort of upper hand.
