Bond scratched the back of his head, thinking quickly. He knew he had not heard the full story. He also knew it was odd for this man to hire a complete stranger to do this job for him. However, it did make sense that Scaramanga would not want to hire a local man, an ex-policeman for example, even if he could find one - local people know too much. If Bond accepted the offer, it would be a perfect way to stay close to Scaramanga and find out more. Yet it felt too convenient to be true. Could it be a trap? Bond decided to take the risk.
