With a subtle nod, Kage took Lady Jaye's hand and guided her toward the exit.
Meanwhile, inside the Hotel Splendide on the fourth floor, Le Chiffre inserted his key and entered his dimly lit suite. The room was shrouded in darkness, with only a faint glimmer of light casting shadows against the walls. Valenka sat on the far side, bathed in a pool of soft illumination, her gaze meeting Le Chiffre's as he approached and questioned,"What's so damned important?"
Valenka's gentle touch on the back of Le Chiffre's neck sent a shiver down his spine, her lips brushing softly against his cheek as she whispered, "I'm sorry." Her voice was barely audible, filled with a mixture of remorse and resignation.
Suddenly a hand emerged from the darkness, seizing her and pulling her back with a sudden force. Before Le Chiffre could comprehend what was happening, a garotte was swiftly looped around his neck, cutting off his breath and sending a shockwave of panic through his body.
Obanno's menacing presence loomed over Le Chiffre as he hissed into his ear with lethal intent, "Where is my money?" The words hung in the air like a sinister promise, leaving no room for negotiation or escape.
In the lobby of the Hotel Splendide, Kage and Lady Jaye entered, their arms entwined in a facade of newlywed bliss, their steps synchronized as they played their roles to perfection. Amidst the chatter and activity of the bustling lobby, Kage discreetly retrieved his handheld device, a flicker of determination in his eyes.
Approaching the concierge desk with an air of confidence, Kage inquired, "I believe you have a package for me." With practiced efficiency, the concierge located the manilla envelope Kage had retrieved from the car earlier and handed it over. They exchanged a nod of acknowledgment before proceeding to the elevator.
Meanwhile, in Le Chiffre's suite, the atmosphere was charged with tension as Obanno seized Le Chiffre, his hands tightening around his neck in a vise-like grip. Across the room, Obanno's lieutenant restrained Valenka, a machete held menacingly against her neck.
Obanno's voice cut through the silence like a blade as he questioned Le Chiffre's audacity, "Do you think you can lose that kind of money and no one would notice?" His words hung in the air, a stark reminder of the consequences of Le Chiffre's reckless actions.
Le Chiffre, his face contorted with pain and desperation, clutched at his throat as he struggled to regain his composure. With a hoarse voice, he croaked out, "Your money is safe..."
Meanwhile, inside the Hotel Splendide elevator, Kage handed Lady Jaye the envelope, his eyes fixed on her with a sense of urgency. "Open it," he instructed tersely.
Lady Jaye complied, revealing a Kingsman watch nestled and silenced walter within the envelope. Understanding its significance, she nodded in acknowledgment as Kage relayed crucial information. "Use it. From the info I received, Le Chiffre has some visitors. They are not happy. We probably will run into them. We must take them out slowly."
With a determined nod, Lady Jaye donned the watch, preparing herself for the challenges that lay ahead. As Kage punched the button for the top floor, they watched in silence as the elevator ascended, each moment bringing them closer to their next confrontation.
Back in Le Chiffre's suite, Obanno tightened the noose around Le Chiffre's neck once more, his grip unyielding as he demanded reassurance. "You'll have it tomorrow. All of it," Le Chiffre promised, his voice strained with pain.
Obanno, unmoved by his words, tossed Le Chiffre to the floor in a display of contempt. With a calculated gesture, he retrieved his machete from his lieutenant, his eyes cold and unforgiving as he addressed Le Chiffre once more. "I would take a hand for this betrayal, but you need it to play cards," he remarked with a cruel smirk, his gaze shifting to Valenka. "Hold out your arm," he commanded, the threat of violence hanging heavy in the air.
ELEVATOR CLOSE
On Kingsman watch, the dial screen displays holographic three dimensional "range finder" an x indicating their shifting position and blinking dot indicating Le Chiffre - both on a 3D grid. As they rise he can get a good idea where they are in relation to each other. Kage slams his finger into the 4th floor button. Lady Jaye hands him his silenced Walther.
Kage gets off the elevator, moves off in the direction the finder tells him, then realizes what he's hearing over his watch VALENKA (O.S.)"No, please. Please."
He turns back to Lady Jaye and said,"They are here"
Lady Jaye nodded,she also ready her gun.
Inside LE CHIFFRE'S SUITE, It was Obanno he said to Valenka, "Hold out your arm, my beauty, or I will take your head."
The Lieutenant raises her arm for her, Valenka cries and pleads,"No. Please, no. Please no."
OUT IN THE HALL, Using the directional finder in hiw Kingswatch Kage finds the right door. Unsure what to do break the door down or let it happen. He decides on breaking it down. Since they need Valenka, but they could not give away there position to Le Chiffre.
Inside LE CHIFFRE'S SUITE, Obanno swings the razor sharp machete down from over his head and...stops maybe a half an inch from Valenka's arm. Holding it there, he turns his head and looks at Le Chiffre and then to Valenka and said,"Not a word of protest.You should find a new boyfriend."
Valenka recoiled in shock and pain as Obanno's rough kiss assaulted her, leaving her breathless and shaken. With callous laughter, he tossed her aside without a second thought, her body colliding with Le Chiffre's as they both fell to the ground.
Gasping for air and trembling uncontrollably, Valenka struggled to compose herself, the pain in her arm a stark reminder of the brutality she had endured. In that moment, any semblance of loyalty she had felt toward Le Chiffre dissolved into a desperate desire to escape from the nightmare that had engulfed them.
Obanno, satisfied with his display of dominance, nodded to his lieutenant, and they made their way out of the suite, leaving behind a scene of devastation and despair.
Meanwhile, in the hallway, Kage's keen senses picked up the approaching danger through his Kingsman watch. Reacting swiftly, he grabbed Lady Jaye and pulled her into the alcove of a butler's pantry, their lips meeting in a deep and urgent kiss.
At first, Lady Jaye resisted, but as she felt the suite door open and saw the looming threat of Obanno and his lieutenant, she surrendered to the intensity of the moment. With a sense of urgency and passion, she melted into the kiss, her hand instinctively reaching for the back of Kage's neck.
Obanno stepped out of the suite, his imposing figure dominating the hallway, his lieutenant trailing closely behind. As they caught sight of the lovers entwined in the alcove, Obanno's lips curled into a satisfied smirk. Obanno, oblivious to the lovers' hidden refuge.
As Kage kissed Lady Jaye passionately, he discreetly tapped on his Kingsman watch, signaling her to pay attention. Lady Jaye, attuned to his subtle cue, caught the movement and nodded imperceptibly, understanding the urgency of the situation.
In the midst of their embrace, with their lips still locked in a tender kiss, they exchanged a silent acknowledgment.
With a swift break from their kiss, Kage and Lady Jaye turned their attention to Obanno and his lieutenants, their movements swift and decisive. With the Kingsman watch securely fastened around his wrist, Kage knew they had to act quickly to neutralize the threat.
Beside him, Lady Jaye tapped the side of her watch, activating Amnesia Mode with practiced ease. A sharp dart shot out, finding its mark in the back of Obanno's lieutenant's neck. Almost instantly, confusion clouded the agent's eyes as he staggered, his movements becoming sluggish and uncoordinated.
Obanno's senses tingled with apprehension, his instincts alerting him of something is wrong. But before he could react, Kage was already poised for action. With impeccable timing, he aimed his own dart from his Kingsman watch and unleashed it toward Obanno's neck, the projectile striking true.
As the potent tranquilizer took effect, Obanno and his lieutenant began to succumb to its sedative effects, their once formidable bodies now rendered powerless. Seizing the opportunity, Kage and Lady Jaye swiftly moved to subdue them, escorting them to a nearby room where they could be securely restrained.
With a deft movement, Kage retrieved his smartphone from his pocket, its sleek, transparent body gleaming under the lights of the hallway. With a mere swipe, a holographic interface burst forth, illuminating the space with its vibrant colors. Within moments, a 3D holographic figure of Breaker materialized before him.
"We need a clean-up crew here," Kage stated urgently, his tone leaving no room for hesitation. "It's Obanno. He's a Lord's Resistance Army commander and has ties to Quantum."
Breaker's virtual image nodded solemnly, his expression reflecting the gravity of the situation. "Dead or alive?" he inquired, his voice echoing through the holographic projection.
"Alive," Kage responded without hesitation, his resolve unwavering.
Acknowledging the directive, Breaker affirmed, "I'm sending the clean-up crew immediately," his voice conveying a sense of urgency as he prepared to mobilize the necessary resources to address the situation at hand.
With the assurance that help was on the way, Kage pocketed his smartphone.
Lady Jaye smiled and muttered,"So we got rid of one problem."
Kage nodded and replied,"A small one."
