The incessant ringing broke her from her sleep. She rolled over, eyes still shut and grappled for the telephone on the bed side table. Finally she found it and picked it off its base; glad that the noise ad stopped she took a second to answer.

"Hello" She said groggily.

Harry was down stairs in the kitchen making breakfast when it rang. Frying pan in hand he reached out for the telephone on the wall.

"Hello" He chirped

"Harry?" Came the reply, it was Ruth.

"That's me" He said, slightly confused as to why she was calling him from upstairs.

"Where are you?" Ruth was confused too. "You're supposed to be in bed next to me."

"I'm downstairs cooking your breakfast instead"

"Oh I'll leave you to it then…." It hit her."….If your downstairs, why are you phoning me up stairs for no reason?"

"I didn't phone you, you phoned me."

"No I didn't. The phone was ringing so I answered it; you were on the other end." She was sat up now thoroughly confused with the situation. Then they heard it the click and the tone that only comes from the other party having hung up.

"Shit" Ruth breathed.

"Bugger" Harry replied.

"I think we've just been caught out"

"Shit"

"Ruth!" He exclaimed at her use of language.

"Sorry"

"Right I'm going to 1471 and see who that was"

"Ok then call me back"

"Ruth?"

"Oh right" She giggled.

They both out their respective phones down.

Harry took a deep breath and dialled 1471 followed by 3 so he could see who answered. He waited and waited, finally some one picked up.

"Hello?" It was Zaf.

"Good morning Mr. Younis. You called?"

"Hi Boss you might like to know you just made me a fair amount of money"

"Did I really Zafar, Now was there a reason you called at half past seven in the morning?"

"Well I came in to work early, to catch up on some paper work and well, there's a block email for all of us detailing a terror attack in the next 48 hours. I just thought I'd get the team in."

"Why didn't you just red flash every one?"

"Thought I'd give the details so you could all start thinking"

"Right, under usual circumstances I'd say good work" Harry groaned.

"I think you two love birds had better get in here this is looking like a big problem."

"Enough with the comments Zaf and I, We will be in in half an hour. Oh and Zafar the drinks are on you once we sort this one out."

"No boss the drinks are on you"

"Zaf"

"Sorry yes see you in half an hour then"

Harry hung up, finished the eggs and made his way up stairs.

Ruth was still sitting in bet awaiting his report.

"Well I think we have been busted, we should come clean today before we become water cooler gossip."

"Who was it?" She asked.

"Zaf, he seems to have been running some sort of book on us, mentioned a big win."

"Oh god I dread to think how many people were involved" She groaned. "Was there a reason he rang?"

"Category A threat, 48 hours, get dressed, we are going to have a very long day"

She threw her self back under the covers and moaned again. Harry just looked at her and smiled. God knows what reception they were going to get when they walked on to the grid.
