Moneypenny found M at the range in the bowels of MI-6 headquarters, taking out her frustrations on a man-shaped target.

"Pretending it's Mr. Bond, sir?"

"I can't believe I made him 007." M's voice was icy with suppressed rage. "That arrogant mass of testosterone -- what was I thinking? "

Moneypenny opened her mouth to defend the decision, then shut it again as M sent the target downrange to fifty meters.

"It's not just that I gave him 00-status. I had to make him 007." M put a tight grouping of shots into the target. "I gave him my old number."

I laughed when I read this and looked around to see if anyone had noticed. Love this simple way of getting a look at M's head and her past.

Am adding to memories.
