"I could never be the same here
Something that I could never arise
I could never look away
I lost myself in you!
It's all over now!"

The mobile ringing on the table in front of him brought him out of his reverie filled with memories and smiles. He jumped slightly as it rang spilling a little of the amber liquid that filled his glass. He reached over for and answered it.

"Yes" he said hoarsely.

"Harry its Adam, where are you?"

"At home why?"

"I've been trying to call you for the last two hours"

"Sorry I took the phone off the hook after Ruth's phone call last night," he winced "I mustn't have put it back on"

"Right, well I asked Malcolm to trace Ruth's mobile, she is at a place called the Mason, and it is in Oxford. We checked their computer and the only name we recognise, not that that says much because they could be using a legend, the only name that's out of place is Mace, Mr. and Mrs. Mace are booked in for two nights, room 201."

"So what do we do now?" Harry had sat there since he arrived home last night and still didn't have any ideas. His mind hadn't really been on track. He had been skimming through their life together 5 years he had known her. The first four had been as colleagues but the last one, the last one had been more, had been a wonderful alternative, he had thought.

"Well we need to find out who this man is and why he's lured her there."

"And how do we do that?" Harry rubbed his head as he always did when faced with a situation he didn't like.

"Well we set it up like any other op. We put surveillance on the room, try and get video or photographic evidence of who he is to do a face match, we find his weakness and bring the bastard down."

"Ok, so where do you want me?"

"Harry, have you slept?"

"No"

"Then I want you to stay at home until you have, you're no use to us if you're not on top form."

"You expect me to stay at home, when Ruth's out there in danger?"

"Not at all but that's what I have to say. So Malcolm and I will be out side in half an hour, change your clothes get a wash and be ready."

There must have been something on the breakfast he fed her because the next thing she knew she was spread-eagled on the bed, now handcuffed to each corner of it. She could see him in the corner he was murmuring something into his mobile, she couldn't hear what, but she could hardly hear at all. There was a slight buzzing and a pounding, she guessed it was the remnants of what ever drug he had given her. It was a very weird feeling she couldn't move her body, she couldn't hear properly and she could only move her eyes. He noticed she was awake and walked slowly over to her.

"See you shouldn't mess with the best." He sneered. "We always win."

She wanted to tell him he didn't know who he was dealing with, Section D were the best and if Harry had anything to do with it he would never walk or see daylight again. She hoped to god Harry had got her message and felt a pang in her heart. She loved him, she really did, she had been so, so stupid. And what for? Why? Because she had enjoyed the danger of another man. Why couldn't she just be happy? All she wanted was for Harry to come careering through the door and scoop her up in his arms, but she knew it wouldn't happen. He knew the dangers of that.

Adam and Malcolm pulled up out side Harry's house to see him standing waiting in the window.

"He's not taking this well then?" Malcolm asked.

"Who would? The love of your life cheats on you for months and then you find out it was all a honey trap and she's been captured putting her life in danger and even though she's broken your heart you just cant leave her there?."

"Hmm I suppose your right." Adam glared at him. Maybe he hadn't been the best one to ask along? But then with no Colin he was the only one.

Harry slid into the back seat, slammed the car door and off they drove.

"So….What now?" He asked, already knowing the answer.

"We drive to this hotel and as secretly as possible find out who that bastard is" Adam replied from the front.

They spent the rest of the journey in silence, until they pulled up out side. Adam turned to Harry. "You stay here, he's probably expecting you to turn up, Malcolm and I will go in and set up some rooms. Oh your legend, who do you want to be this time? I presume you've brought one with you?

"Yes, I'm Henry Pointer, It was" he coughed "her favourite".
