Techy didn't trust leader as far as he could throw him, which admittedly wasn't much. He hadn't mentioned the money ransom yet and Techy thought this was suspicious.

Why go to the effort of planting bombs and then not even ask for the money? And who was this Ruth person to him?

He had done his homework and found out about Ruth, but why would an MI5 agent interest Leader? These thoughts worried Techy.

Still, he had sent the email all the same as directed.

He was quite pleased that Leader was so preoccupied with this Harry guy to even bother checking their story. The websites were supposed to be focused on schools and youth centres, but Techy had deviated from the plan and included a sneaky bit about the Olympics.

He felt it necessary insurance, should anything go wrong. Besides, Leader wanted to confront this Harry person anyway, so he shouldn't mind if he was given a clue to speed up the process…

Leader was losing patience fast. Harry had done as he had asked, but not to the letter.

The problem was he couldn't carry out a threat. The other two bombs, the ones not attached to Ruth, would only create a scare. There wasn't enough power in them to properly cause any damage. However, he had killed Bomber once his job was completed.

Now he had no way of blowing the bombs. Bomber had still been in possession of the detonators when his body had been carefully disposed of some days earlier.

Leader cursed to himself. Well, he had the third detonator, and soon he would be on his own again.

The time was nearly upon him…

Leader called Techy and Minder to him.

"Well done fella's. The time is almost upon us. You've each done well. Now, however I have some bad news…"

The gun shot echoed out around the empty warehouse they were holed up in. Minder hadn't even seen it coming.

Leader wasn't sure if it was really fair to shoot Minder first, Techy would be sure to try an escape, but Minder would have easily overpowered Leader, whereas Techy didn't stand a chance.

As it happens, Techy only had a brief moment in which to consider his options, before his world went dark, never to be enlightened again.

Leader got rid of the bodies that night. Now the game was starting to get interesting.

He looked at his watch. It was five minutes to midnight. Anytime now an unsuspecting security guard would find Ruth (he had made sure to 'hide' her on the guard's beat) and raise the alarm.

His confrontation with Harry was almost here. He could almost taste the adrenaline as it soared through his body. He felt the cool metal of the gun against his skin once more, and was calmed. Leader needed to be focused for this meeting. He had waited long enough. Harry would pay for what he had done.

In the darkness, Leader made his way to a vantage point high above where Ruth was lying, still out cold. He hid carefully, and waited…
