Tariq, Dimitri and Beth had all appeared back on the grid with sombre looks on their faces. "I'm sorry," Dimitri said.

"You three can stop looking at me like someone's died," Harry said. "No one has." He couldn't stop the thought that ran through the back of his mind. No one's died yet.

"How long have we got before Lucas calls?" Beth asked.

"About forty minutes. I'm going to try and convince Lucas with a fake. I'm not convinced that he actually knows what Albany is. I just need the pass codes to be the same. Tariq, can you help me input them on a fake laptop?"

"Yeah," he said easily, following Harry to his office. Time was short.

"Are you good enough for this?" Harry asked as Tariq started to programme a computer with the A4 list of numbers Harry had given him.

"I hope so," he said, without raising his head.

"Hope isn't good enough," Harry said with a growl.

"Harry, we are on an extremely tight clock. Do you want to criticise my tech skills or do you want me to concentrate on this?"

"Sorry," Harry said sincerely. "I'm just worried about her."

"So are we."

Harry left Tariq alone in his office and went too speak to Beth and
Dimitri. "I need you to look for buildings where Lucas could have taken her."

"In the whole of London?" Dimitri questioned.

"Yes," Harry said. "Lucas will have disabled CCTV so look for broken camera's around empty or vacated buildings. Start from where he took her and work out. A mile, then two. Keep going until you find where she is."

"Harry, this is a long shot," Beth said as Dimitri got to work.

"I don't care," he said quietly. "I have to be doing something to find her."

Neither Beth nor Dimitri said another word and got to work. It wasn't any help that they both knew that Ruth could do this better than either of them could.


This is probably going to be short scenes quickly posted, as long as people want them.
