Staying dead

Commander Bayliss at MI6 was remarkably circumspect on hearing that his people in Cyprus seemed to have 'lost' Rufus/Mark. The suggestion that he might have disabled the microchip they'd inserted in him didn't surprise Bayliss either.

"Rather thought he might!" he told a colleague. "Clever little bugger", he added, with obvious respect.

While others were getting extremely concerned and felt that MI6 should be working hard to find and 'disable' Rufus, Bayliss merely commented "No need to waste resources. He's not going to shout his mouth off, is he? I'd advise him to 'stay dead'... or else he will be!"
