"Get up!" Dimitri raised his voice.

He and Tariq dragged Kovalevski away, putting him in handcuffs as they did. Meanwhile, Ros and Erin ran over to where Stapleton was knelt down. By the time Kovalevski was out of sight, Lucas ran over to where they were gathered.

"Beatrice, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." Lucas said, holding her hand.

"It's not your fault. You were only doing your job, playing the role." Beatrice said, through shallow breaths.

"Ambulance is on its way." Ros told them.

Within minutes, the sound of sirens filled the air and paramedics jumped out of the ambulance. It was decided Stapleton and Erin would go to the hospital with Beatrice, while Lucas and Ros headed back to the Grid. Erin informed them she would keep them updated on Beatrice's condition once they'd seen the doctor. In return, Lucas told them they would keep them informed of any developments when they had interrogated Kovalevski. The two MI5 agents looked on as the ambulance drove off into the distance with blue flashing lights and sirens wailing.

Back at the Grid, Kovalevski had been placed in an interview waiting for someone from Section D to arrive. He had been offered a lawyer, but declined. The doors to the Grid opened, Ros and Lucas stepped in. Dimitri walked over to them.

"We've put him in Interview Room 4. Bad news he's not talking. I've got Tariq scanning through his recent contacts to see if any of them will give us Prince, but so far no luck."

"Okay, does Harry know we've got him?" Lucas inquired.

"No, not yet. Ruth told me he's with the Home Secretary."

"What does he want?" Ros asked.

"He wants an update on the operation. Wants to know if we're any closer to getting Prince for treason." Dimitri replied.

"Right, well why don't you go and interrogate Kovalevski. See what you can get out of him." Lucas ordered.

Dimitri nodded and headed down the corridor. Ros turned to Lucas.

"What do you want to do next?" She wondered.

"I don't know. I've just got this feeling that this isn't the end of it." Lucas explained.

"What do you mean?" Ros asked, worriedly.

"It's something Kovalevski said. Before he shot Beatrice, he mentioned that he knew a lot about me."

"And?"

"Well, if he knows who I really am, then that means Prince must do to. I think Prince is planning to do something else. Something that will redirect our attention while he carries out the assassination."

The two of them were interrupted from their conversation by Lucas's phone ringing.

"Yes?" He said as he put the call onto speaker phone.

"Lucas, it's Stapleton. We've got a problem."

"Hang on. I'll put you on speakerphone. What's happened?" Lucas signalled for Stapleton to carry on.

"We got ambushed. The doctors took Beatrice into the hospital but, just as we were about to head inside there were gunshots. Then a black unmarked vehicle drove up, grabbed Erin and drove away."

"Are you hurt?" Ros asked.

"No, but…" Stapleton didn't want to finish his sentence.

"But, what?" Lucas urged.

"I think Erin got hit."

There was silence.

"Lucas?" Stapleton's voice said through the phone.

"Yeah, I'm here." Lucas answered. "Uh, did you get a good look at the assailants?"

"Possibly. It all happened so fast." Stapleton replied.

"Possibly is not good enough!" Lucas was angry.

"I know."

"Sorry. That was uncalled for. Why don't you come back to the Grid and sit down with a sketch artist. At least then we'll have something to go on." Lucas said.

"Okay. But, what about Beatrice?"

"Ros will go to the hospital."

Stapleton then ended the call. Both MI5 officers didn't need to think twice about who was behind the attack. They both knew it was Prince. They just needed evidence to prove their theory. While Ros headed off to the hospital, Lucas went back to the Grid. Seeing Dimitri, he walked over to him.

"Any luck with Kovalevski?" Lucas asked, sitting down upon the desk.

"Nope. He won't say a word."

"Right. Do we know if Tariq's had any luck at his phone contacts?"

"Still no luck. It seems that Prince is very good at covering up any tracks. So far everything we have points to Kovalevski being the main suspect behind this assassination plot."

"I think that what Prince wants. Kovalevski to take the fall for this plan."

"Well, so far it's working. Kovalevski is under arrest and Prince is still out there."

In his pocket, Lucas's mobile rang. He looked at the screen. The ID read 'unknown caller'. Signalling, Dimitri to trace the call, Lucas answered.

"I am in no need to play games with you. I know that you know that I am not actually Prince John. I've just had the misfortune of being called that. Or maybe I've had the fortune, but never mind that. I also know that you know that I know that you aren't really one of my associates." Prince's voice said through the phone.

"Like my good friend, Nikolay Kovalevski, I know alot about you, Lucas North." Prince continued. "I know that you are an MI5 operative and you know about my plan to assassinate the Queen. I'll make a deal with you."

"Which is what?" Lucas asked calmly.

"All in good time." Came Prince's reply.

With that, the phone call ended. Lucas turned to Dimitri who was tracking the number.

"Well, did you get a location?" Lucas inquired.

Dimitri gave a firm nod.

"Yeah, the phone call was coming from 23 Thistle Grove."

"Right, I'll call you when I get there.

Lucas grabbed his gun from the draw. He placed it in the back of his pocket covering it with his shirt before going. Before he was about to head towards the doors, Dimitri stopped him.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Lucas looked at him confused.

"What do you mean, 'where do you think you're going? I'm off the 23 Thistle Grove."

"Do you think that's a good idea?"

"Well, you heard what Prince said."

"Yeah, I did. But, I still don't think it's a good idea."

"It's the only plan we've got."

"For all we know Prince could have set up a trap. It's too dangerous for you to alone."

"Are you offering to come?" Lucas asked with a raised brow.

Dimitri nodded in reply. He wasn't about to let Lucas to walk into an unknown situation without any backup. Grabbing his gun, Dimitri followed Lucas out of the building. On the way to their destination, Lucas called Ros to see if there was any update on Beatrice's condition. Fortunately, there was no new information. She was in a stable condition. As Lucas ended his call to Ros, his phone rang again.

"I take it you're interested in the deal I have?" Prince's voice asked.

"What makes you think I'm interested in your deal?" Lucas inquired.

But, Prince didn't answer. The phone call ended and the line went dead. Lucas and Dimitri both looked at each other. They had no idea what the call was about, but they didn't have to wait long to find out. Lucas's phone pinged notifying them that a message had been received. Knowing he couldn't looking at the text whilst he was driving, Dimitri read the text message instead. It read:

We're still playing the game. So get in character. I'll confess to everything if you finish the job I ordered you to do. Otherwise, she'll die instead.

Below the text there was a picture.

"Oh, no." Dimitri breathed out.

"What is it?" Lucas glanced quickly in Dimitri's direction.

"Uh, I don't think I should show you. Not while you're driving at least." Dimitri said, not wanting Lucas to take his concentration off the road.

"Dimitri!"

"Okay, fine." Dimitri sighed.

Turning the phone around, Dimitri showed what was on the screen to Lucas. For a few seconds, Lucas took his eyes off the road. He cursed under his breath and placed his foot firmly on the pedal. The car swerved in and out of other cars, most of them honking them as they drove through. A set of traffic lights up head had just turned red, but that didn't deter Lucas from going through them. Dimitri was holding onto the dashboard as Lucas sped up diving in and out of more vehicles.

"I think you're breaking a few traffic laws, Lucas." Dimitri raised his voice over the engine.

"Does it look like I care at this moment in time?" Lucas asked, his tone deadly serious.

"Uh, no. But, that's cool." Dimitri casually said, trying not to be scared.

Lucas ignored Dimitri's protest as they carried on speeding down the roads. The car came to a sudden halt as Lucas braked. Dimitri jolted forward, then backwards, hitting his back against the car seat.

"Huh, still in one piece." Dimitri breathed.

Lucas rolled his eyes. Getting out the car, he cocked his gun as did Dimitri Stealthily, the two agents walked towards the building. Through the front windows, they could see no movement. Indicating, Lucas signalled he was going to search around the back while Dimitri remained at the front. Dimitri nodded, watching Lucas disappear round the other side of the building. It wasn't a minute after Lucas had gone round the back when Dimitri heard loud gunshots ring out from inside. Holding his gun tightly in his hand, he kicked the front door down. Scanning his surroundings, slowly edged towards where he heard the shots coming from. Entering a room, he noticed two men dead. Lucas was nowhere to be seen. Carrying on, Dimitri cleared the other rooms and upstairs. He was about to clear the kitchen when he noticed there was a door slightly ajar. Maybe Lucas had gone down there, he thought to himself. Stepping down the wooden stairs, he noticed the basement was dimly lit. He stopped every few seconds to listen. He couldn't hear anything. Not until he reached the far wall and heard voices. Following the voices, Dimitri came to a door. He placed an ear on the wood, hoping to hear the conversation. He was listening to the voices when he heard a sound coming from behind him. It sounded like something had been knocked over and had landed on the concrete floor. Swiftly turning around with his gun pointed out in front of him, he looked. A figure moved. Dimitri raised his gun ready to shoot. He was about shoot when the figure signalled for him to lower his weapon. Stapleton appeared from the darkness.

"What are you doing here?" Dimitri asked through gritted teeth. "I could have shot you!"

"Why didn't you?" Stapleton whispered back going next to him.

"And alerting whoever's in there of my presence?" Dimitri whispered back.

"I think we know who's in there."

"Oh do we? And anyway, how did you know we were going to be here?

"I'm Special Branch. I have my ways."

Dimitri was about to say something back, but was stopped when Stapleton placed a finger on top of his lips. The two of them continued to listen to the conversation. They recognised Prince's and Lucas's voice, but there was another voice they did not.

"Shoot him." The two agents heard Prince order.
