Blown Up

by elsiecarson

When bombs start going off in London Section D is chaos trying to figure out what's going on. Harry's biggest problem is that Ruth is still in exile somewhere and he's stuck with Connie. The calls from the DG and the Home Secretary immediately come flooding in. Rated T for language.

4. Update, Now!

Harry leaves his office. "Give me an update before I get fired."

"I've got the surveillance from the Underground station, but it's hard when I don't know who I'm looking for, what I'm looking for, or when I should be looking." Malcolm sounds frustrated.

"I know, Malcolm. Go over the last 24 hours meticulously and we'll see after that." Harry says seriously. "Connie what have you got? You could break this open for us."

"There's no chatter at all, Harry. My only thought is that these must be homegrown terrorists, probably under the age of 25, with no links to known terrorist groups." Connie speculates.

"That's great, Connie! That really narrows down my suspect list! Get me something I can actually use!" Harry yells. He's so angry with Connie.

"I don't know what to tell you, Harry. I can't create evidence that isn't there." Connie says firmly.

"Keep trolling, Connie. Eventually someone will get complacent and start talking soon enough. We just need one break." Harry says heavily. "Frame be frame on that surveillance Malcolm."

"Of course Harry. I'll go backwards from the time of the explosion and see what I can find out. There has to be some clues in the surveillance." Malcolm says seriously.

"There better be or I'll be out of a job quickly. We need to fix this situation quickly. This could get a lot worse if we don't get some tips on this soon." Harry sounds tired. He goes and pours himself a cup of coffee. He's going to need a lot of caffeine to get through the experience.
