What Ever Happened To 005

© Bud Brown – 2014 - ASCAP -- ElectroClassics Publishing – ASCAP James Bond, an intelligence officer in the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, and a Royal Naval Reserve Commander was best known by his code number 007. The name Bond is quite well known around the world because of the many books and screen plays written about this man's many exciting and true adventures. Alexander Couplet was also an intelligence officer in the Secret Intelligence Service MI6 and was a Captain in the Royal Naval Reserve often taking time off from active SIS duty to command military missions under that rank. Alexander however is not well known even within the ranks of MI6 and is considerably more discrete that his 007 counterpart. In all the time he served with MI6 he only came across Bond once and that was the most unfortunate mission of his life. Couplet was mild mannered on the outside though perhaps not as tailored as Bond but underneath he was a power house of aggressive defensive and offensive measures. On this particular mission Bond made it back but Couplet did not. Bond's version of the mission and what happened is classified "TOP SECRET" so none of us will ever see it and Couplet because he did not come back has no mission report to be reviewed. Many internal and external investigations have reached dead ends and to this day no one knows what ever happened to 005?
