"We have an idea, but it is a little mad." Jo said as they all gathered in the briefing room. Harry had about one hour before the Grid needed to be unlocked. Jo turned to Zaf. Harry looked at them waiting for them to continue.
"It's we six versus Oliver and his men. We can make this difficult or we can make this easy. Set up a meeting with him Harry. Everybody here knows he is probably watching the Grid and the minute we step outside this building he will snag us."
"So," Jo began and everyone then turned to look at her. "You set up a meeting. Talk to him, we'll have a tracker on you, possibly six. While you're distracting him we get into his house and find what we need. All we need is that last piece and we have him."
Ruth looked at Harry. He was considering it. She could tell by the look in his eyes.
"And how do you expect to break into Mace's house?" Harry asked. "It's not like his house will be a simple lock."
"We'll have a van nearby with Colin and Ruth in it to help us..." Jo began when Harry cut her off.
"No."
Ruth sighed. She knew what he was saying no to. It was no to her leaving the Grid. Jo frowned.
"No to what?"
"Take Malcolm and Colin." he said firmly.
"Malcolm will be watching you and besides Ruth is better with..." Zaf began.
"I said no!" Harry snapped at Zaf. Zaf took a deep breath. Ruth was biting her tongue. He turned to Ruth to try and look for some help with reasoning with Harry.
"Harry, you may not like it but we need Ruth!" Jo pleaded. Ruth finally spoke up before Harry could.
"I'll go. The van needs to be at least four blocks away." she rationalized. Harry shook his head.
"What part of no don't you understand?" He said still looking at Zaf. Zaf was about to lose it.
"Harry, if we find this we can end this! We can bring him down! We need everybody to do that." Zaf yelled.
Before Harry could answer, Ruth spoke up. "Harry, a word." she said and stood up. She left the briefing room and Harry followed, closing the door behind him. They walked a few feet away from the door until she turned to speak to him. "I have to do this Harry." And after she said that, she saw something replace the anger in his eyes. It was fear. She took his hand in hers.
"Ruth... this could be the most dangerous thing we've ever done, or come close to it. If something were to happen to you... I can't..." he didn't finish the sentence. Ruth looked at him. She moved closer to him.
"Harry, everyday there is a chance one of us could get killed or kidnapped especially when we walk out of this building. I know you want to protect me, but you have to put our personal lives behind our professional ones for now. The sooner we do this, the sooner it ends."
He knew she was speaking reason. All he could do was pull her close and hold her. She let him for a minute until she pulled away. She felt him put his hand over her expanding abdomen. He moved to her ear. "As long as you have our baby inside you, personal is my priority."
And with that he turned back to the briefing room. Zaf stood there waiting for an answer. Harry gave it to him.
"Where do I meet?"
Harry walked off the Grid. He walked out of the Thames Building and made it four feet before a car pulled over next to him and men flew out. They grabbed Harry and shoved him into the car.
Zaf, Jo, Ruth, and Colin exited the Thames through a back alley after Malcolm cleared it with cameras. There they entered the van Malcolm had pulled up. Malcolm threw the keys to Zaf and they got into the car. Jo got into the back with Ruth and Colin sat next to Zaf up front. Malcolm raced back into the Grid.
"I feel like something is going down." Fiona said. She slowly stood up with the help of a cane. Adam had her jacket.
"We shouldn't be leaving." Adam said as they slowly moved down the hallway.
"We have to get back to the Grid." Fiona said. They made it to the parking lot and after checking over the car, Adam helped Fiona in and they sped off to the Grid.
Zaf slowly brought the van to a stop. He could see Mace's giant fence to the house.
"Got money for kissing ass," he mumbled. Colin nodded. Zaf heard Jo get out of the van through the back. "Wait here."
Colin nodded and watched Zaf jump out. He moved to Jo.
"Stay here." Zaf said. Jo's eyes went wide.
"What... Zaf you can't go in there alone!" Zaf nodded.
"I won't be alone. I'll have your eyes watching from my cameras the whole time," he said. Jo shook her head in the negative. "Stay with Ruth, Jo."
"And you know Ruth won't like that!" Jo snapped.
"And you also know that if the van was attacked they wouldn't stand a chance alone. It's hard without Fiona and Adam, but we have to make do. Don't make me make it an order."
Jo looked at Zaf and then turned and reentered the van. She closed it with a slam. Zaf took a deep breath. This HAD to end.
Harry was escorted into a warehouse where he saw Mace standing by a window. The men shoved Harry into a chair and then stepped back to give the men some space. Harry had no idea where they were. He was blindfolded in the car and had it removed when they entered the building. Mace turned and faced Harry.
"You've been digging in places you shouldn't be Harry." he said calmly. Harry shrugged.
"Isn't that my job?" he said back. Mace gave an evil smile.
"Your job isn't to investigate other fellow members of government." Mace said. He moved to the table Harry sat at and sat across from him.
"If they're responsible for murder than it is." Harry growled back. Mace shook his head.
"And you think I had something to do with murder do you?"
Harry nodded.
"You murdered your wife, Jeanne Wright, because she discovered your secret." Harry said flat out.
Mace signaled for his men to leave the room. Once they were gone Mace looked Harry right in the eyes.
"And your evidence?"
"A letter. A letter you failed to find that my officer found."
Mace stroked his chin.
"Interesting. Well, I have a little word of warning for you that I'd like you to here. Especially if you value Ms. Evershed's life."
Adam walked onto the Grid with Fiona limping behind him. It was empty and quiet except for the typing coming from the control room. They made their way over and found Malcolm. He turned and his eyes went wide.
"You're out of the hospital!" Malcolm said and stood up. He gave Fiona a light hug and then pulled away. She nodded.
"Where is the team?" Adam asked. Malcolm then explained their situation. Fiona's eyes went wide. Adam was speechless. There was a pause after he explained the whole thing. Malcolm turned back to his computers. They had searched Harry for bugs and found five out of the six. With this, he could only hear. Fiona moved to a chair and sat down next to Malcolm to listen in.
"Where is Ruth?" she asked after hearing Mace threaten Ruth.
"With Colin, Jo, and Zaf. They're breaking into Mace's house."
"I'm going down." Adam said. He was out of the Grid within seconds.
