Ros pushed her foot to the accelerator as she headed towards Thames House. She knew she was the only one Harry had recalled from the field. Part of her was terrified something had happened to the children but she rationalised Lucas would have been recalled had something happened to Amy or James. It had to be something work related, she didn't see why Harry hadn't told her what was wrong. Throwing the car into the underground car park below Thames House she killed the engine and swore. Something was wrong and she wasn't sure she wanted to know what it was.

"Sommerville has been picked up." Calum stated as Ruth returned to her desk. "Zaf has just picked him up."
"Thank God for that." Harry stated as he stood in the doorway of his office. "How long til they bring him in?"
"They picked him up in Ealing, so less than thirty minutes before they get here." Tariq stated. "Oh and Ros just called to say she was on her way up."
"Thank you." Harry paused, glancing towards the Pods. "Malcolm?"
"I spoke with Sarah. He was reluctant to come in but he will." Ruth paused. "Apparently he is bringing a guest with him."
"Who?"
"Sarah didn't say." Ruth bit her bottom lip. "I get the feeling Malcolm asked her not to. Anyway, we'll find out soon enough." Harry nodded.
"As soon as either Malcolm or Ros arrive I want them sent straight to my office." Harry stated before turning back into his office and closing the door behind him. Ruth sighed before turning back to the facial recognition programme she had been running earlier.
"Ruth?"
"Don't ask. I really don't know." Ruth sighed.
"I was only going to ask is everything ok?" Calum spoke quietly.
"I know." Ruth smiled sadly. "That's why I said, I really don't know. I have no idea if anything is alright anymore."

"Bloody Nora." Zaf snapped as he closed the gap between himself and the younger man. Dean Sommervile knew how to run. "No one mentioned this guy can give Mo Farrah a run for his money!" Zaf gasped as Zoe appeared from nowhere to trip the skinny blonde over.
"Hi." Zoe smiled. "You ok?"
"Yeah." Zaf smiled back. "Great. New lungs would be great."
"Getting old." Adam laughed as he arrived on the scene. The younger man struggled as Zaf pulled him to his feet.
"No chance." Zaf held Sommerville by his arms as he spoke. "Anyway, you're older than me."
"Boys, please." Erin stated as she pulled the van up to the curb. "In, now. Harry recalled Ros, so we should probably get laughing boy back to the cells."
"Laughing boy?!" Sommerville snapped. "You can just, ff..."
"That's enough. Ladies present." Adam snarled as he helped Zaf usher the man towards the van. Erin rolled her eyes as Adam spoke. The rest of London happily going about it's business, unaware that another terrorist attack on the capital had been averted. The van doors slammed shut while Zoe walked to the passenger side of the van.
"Erin?"
"Yeah?"
"I know Ros was recalled but where's Lucas?"

Harry looked up as Ros stepped though his office door without knocking. She glared at him as he paused.
"Harry."
"Ros, sit down."
"Why am I here? That was my arrest. You know that. Sommerville has been the middle man in that system for months. We know he is bringing the equipment in to sell to the highest bidder. Who, the last we knew was ex-loyalist terrorists."
"I know."
"We also know these people aren't afraid to kill whoever gets in their way."
"Ros, sit down." Harry stated calmly. "I called you in because this is more important. Adam can deal with the arse end of an op!"
Ros frowned slightly before sitting down. She knew when to keep quiet and let Harry have his say. It was clear Harry had something to say.

The rain bounced off the metal of the rusty fire escape as Lucas caught his breath. It ddn't matter how long he had been away from Russia so many things could still trigger a memory. He sank to his knees as he listened to Adam and Erin through the comms. He tried to focus on what was being said rather than how he was feeling.
"Ros has been called back in?" He asked, unsure he had heard correctly. "Why?"
"No idea, mate." Adam replied. "We're on the way back in. You ok?"
"Yeah." Lucas rested his head back against the cool contreat behind h before closing his eyes. "Yeah."
Adam ended the conversation, glared at Sommerville and waited for Erin to drive them back to the Grid.

"What?" Ros remained the picture of calm as she spoke. Harry knew there was no way she could be as calm as she appeared. He held her gaze as he spoke.
"There was a deal. He was released 18 months ago. Part of the deal was no one here was to find out he had been released early."
"The man tried to kill me. Held a gun to my head." Ros spoke calmly.
"And he will again." Malcolm stated as he ushered Sam into the office. Harry's eyes widened slightly at Malcolm's declaration. "Sam Buxton. This is Section Chief Ros Myers. I think you better explain to her what you told me about Philip."
"Ros." Sam almost whispered the name. Ros glanced from Malcolm to Sam and back again.
"Oh, this I have to hear." She folded her arms. "My brother, the man who tried to kill me is out of prison and walking around."
"Oh my God." Sam closed her eyes, remembering a time when Harry had interviewed her. "I."
"And Ruth told us you had left GCHQ to have a baby." Ros paused as Harry swore. "So? When did he tell you he was planning to kill me? Before or after he got you pregnant?"

A/N Ok, this story is on the verge of being deleted and restarted. Is Ros' brother really Sam's ex? Why does he want Ros dead and where is he anyway? please review.
