Zaf and Adam had played a mistletoe on Malcolm. They were all laughing as Adam and Zaf stuck the mistletoe on Malcolm's head. Ros had come over and saw the funny side and gave him a kiss. Jo was making Christmas cards for everyone on the Grid. Even Harry was happy because the love of his life was back. Yes Ruth had been back on the Grid for a month. Adam and Zaf went about planting mistletoe. Harry's phone rang. It was Juliet giving Harry a very convincing Merry Christmas. He wished. It was urgent ,Juliet had received news of a major attack on London. Harry jumped out his seat and sighed as he put the phone down.
"And a Merry Christmas to you too"
He walked towards everyone standing chuckling and looked at them.
"Briefing Room now!" The team looked at each other and rolled their eyes in disappointment.
In the Briefing Room all sat looking at Harry explaining the situation.
"It seems they want to blow up Parliament and most of London if not all of it"
"Malcolm I want you to find out routes and where he lives. Also look for unlikely stops"
"Adam, Zaf I want you to find out where exactly the bombing is"
"Oh and Jo, Ros and Ruth find out when this massacre is taking place"
They all nodded and got to work.
"So what does Wes want for his Christmas?" Zaf asked intrigued.
"He wants a new tractor and a racing car"
"Ho, I think we all wanted that!" Zaf laughed.
Ros took Ruth to one side.
"Now I know that you're excellent at tracking things down , so could you help me get a file on Abdul Tahik"
Ruth looked at Ros about to throw what she said back in her face but she liked Ros even though they had their differences. Ruth could see that all Ros wanted was to be loved.
"Ok seeing as it's Christmas." Ros and Ruth smiled at each other and got to work.
"Obviously their main target is to blow up parliament" Adam said whilst laughing as Jo and Harry were standing under a twig of mistletoe in the doorway. Jo sat down and Harry went to great Juliet.
"Bugger, oh here's our next chance." Adam thought signalling to Zaf who knew entirely what he meant.
Ros and Zaf were walking down Oxford Street looking for the suspect or suspects. Ros stopped to look at the Christmas lights.
"To think if we don't stop this bombing London will be ruined taken away its beauty"
"I w- I….." Zaf was speechless at what Ros had said. He never knew Ros cared for London the way she said.
"But we never seem to get any bloody snow"
Ruth was on the roof if Thames House. She knew that this plot to bomb London was like any other but she felt as though it would happen. The thought made Ruth shiver. Her home, everyone she knew would be demolished. Her eyes focused on the ground below her. She saw Adam and Zaf walking to the car. She smiled as they argued who was driving. She closed her eyes and held her tummy whilst laughing so hard. In the background she heard the car speed away at full power. She knew who was driving. Zaf.
"Where exactly are we going"
"Well I thought we could do a bit of shopping"
"You, shopping, is a disaster"
"Well Adam, I thought we could get some really silly gifts for the Grid to bring some bloody Christmas cheer to the place"
"You are just…" Adam failed to finish his sentence. He never would. Zaf smiled to himself enigmatically.
Ros and Jo were looking at each other blankly.
"They're hardly going to post the date on the internet are they"
