plans of the Russian Consulate and they head for a a gypsy settlement
loyal to Bey where Bond can hide from the attentions of Krilencu.

At a pre-arranged moment, Bey sets off an explosive charge in
the chamber beneath the building, releasing tear gas throughout
the Consulate. In the resulting chaos, Bond is able to find Romanova
and make off with the decoder. After a nasty run-in with a pack
of rats in the cellar, Bond and Romanova join Bey and make good
their escape.
