Aisle be there?

Ros stormed into Harry's abandoned office, knowing he wouldn't be there. She was furious, knowing that Ruth and Zaf may be in danger but refusing to believe revenge was the motive.

"Ros."

"Lucas." She picked up the phone before ringing Harry's mobile. "Revenge bent idiots tend not to give you a coded warning beforehand."

"True."

"Harry? Time for plan B. I can't guarantee the area around the registry office will be secured before the wedding." Ros paced the office as she spoke, Lucas watched suddenly getting an idea how how infuriating it was for Ruth when Harry did it. She paused, listening intently. "You look after things your end. Is Malcolm with you yet? He knows where the venue is. Of course. Yes, look the only people who need to be there really are Catherine and Calum." Lucas winced as Ros remained stony faced. "And have a good day to you too." She hung up the phone.

"Well?"

"I think I've either just been sacked or I'm about to be posted to Iraq."

"Ohh long distance relationships. Not my forte."

"He's sacked me before. He will again." Ros watched as Lucas smirked. Harry knew she was the best second in command he'd ever had, even if they argued over almost everything. "Plan B. Harry is going to talk to Catherine now. Ill call Erin. The majority of the guests will think it's been postponed again only for them to elope."

"Elope." Lucas smiled as she walked towards him. "Why didn't we do that?"

"We already had a daughter. The gig was up. It would have been as stupid as me wearing white."

"I thought you looked amazing." He whispered knowing no one on the main Grid would hear them. "White looks good on you."

"Ice queen yeah, ok." She rolled her eyes.

"Ros." She reached the door, glad that the blinds had been drawn since Harry had left the night before. Lucas caught her hand, pulling her to him. "You're never that. Not really." She touched his face gently. "Not to me."

A phone ringing as Beth yelled Ros' name across the Grid broke the moment. Sighing Lucas stepped back from her, letting her leave the room.

"Erin!" Calum buttoned his shirt as she yelled through the bathroom door. Quickly tucking his shirt into his trousers he opened the door. "What are you talking about? Changed plans?"

"Ros phoned." Rosie shouted as she struggled to fasten her shoes. Tariq took pity and started helping her. "Thanks. It's fiddly."

"I know, my little sister has shoes like these."

"You have a sister?" Rosie frowned.

"Three. Sabrina, Zara and Shabham. Sabrina is the baby. She's 12."Tariq carried on distracting the girl as Erin explained there had been bomb threats so Harry had kept a plan B on the go incase. She'd known about it since before the bombing a few months earlier. Calum swore.

"Catherine still wants to marry me?"

"God only knows why. But yes. She does." Erin hugged the man she considered her brother as Calum sighed. "Then I don't care where plan b is happening, just get me there."

"Dad?" Nick called downstairs as Malcolm walked in the door. "The cars are here. Hi Malcolm."

"Thanks." Harry called out. He had already known.

"You look very smart. Where is everyone?" Malcolm watched as Ruth emerged from the kitchen carrying the baby on one hip as Gracie toddled in front of her.

"Mall."

"Hello." He picked her up as Ruth began to explain everything, including why Nick now referred to Harry as dad. Malcolm smiled as the teenager went in search of Terri and Graham.

"It's all very new. He asked Harry earlier." Ruth blinked. "Harry can't replace his father, but he came to me and asked if I thought it would be disrespectful to George or Harry." Malcolm squeezed her hand.

"If George can see us from wherever he is I hope he sees Nick finally has a family that loves him." Ruth frowned. "He's a clever boy. Ruth, he told me a little of George's behaviour."

"Not today. Today is about Catherine and Calum." She whispered as everyone except Harry and Catherine appeared in the room. Even Scarlett appeared with a little red collar on. Nick scooped her up before they all left.

"Plan B?" Catherine turned to see her father nod. "Dad? Has something happened? Is it work ?"

"Yes. The venue has been moved to plan b. I'm sorry Catherine but it's the safest."

"It's fine. If you need to go."

"Ros can handle everything." Catherine nodded.

"I don't doubt her but if something happened and you weren't there. Section D are family- all of them." Catherine held his gaze.

"And if my baby girl got married to the most annoying man in section D."

"I'm not marrying Alec!"

"Cath." She shuddered at the thought. Harry pulled a face. "I'm trying to be serious. Big father/daughter bonding moment this."

"Dad." She blushed.

"I'm proud of you. And the kids. If Calum hurts you. He's a bigger idiot than I thought possible." Catherine kissed his cheek.

"Chapel it is then." She smiled as he ushered her down the stairs towards the waiting car.

"That coded warning, it's bothering me." Zoe stated as she hid behind old paper files on her desk. Beth laughed.

"Coded warnings are designed to do that."

"Funny."

"I thought so."

"Children." Alec tugged on his tie as Beth's phone rang. Moments later Ros appeared from the office.

"What?"

"Co19 found a detonator in a dust bin outside the registry office." Beth stated. "A controlled explosion is being held now. Sniffer dogs are looking for more."

"Right. Good. That detonator was meant to set something off. Adam, take Zaf and see what bomb squad can tell you."

"Yes ma'am." Zaf laughed as she glared at him. Moments later both men disappeared. Zoe frowned.

"Any news of those idiots that may want revenge?" Ros turned to Zoe. She nodded once.

"Frankie was a hit man for the Cypriot version of a mafia type family, we know this. Him and the doctor not so respectable under the surface."

"Few of us are." Alec joined in.

"Rocko and Aldo Andreas are in the UK. Entered on false passports yesterday. I picked up chatter so I had a look."

"Who?" Lucas glanced at her as Beth and Dimitri made to leave.

"Brothers. Cousins of George and Frankie, on their mothers side. And it looks like I underestimated them." Zoe looked at her desk. Ros waited.

"They're hit men, or believed to be. Aldo has been linked to a few very nasty murders back home and one in France last month." Ros glared.

"I do like a well travelled psychopath." Dimitri stated. "And they want revenge?"

"Maybe as a sideline but I think they've been paid to be here." Zoe handed Ros a form. Lucas swore.

"The summit meeting next week. First time it's been held in London for years and they're coming for that. Who would hire them?" Ros sat down.

"We need Ruth." Alec stared at Zoe. "No offence."

"It's ok."

"Right. We let Calum get married and we pull them back. If necessary I'll brief Ruth and Harry at the reception."

"Where is that?" Dimitri asked.

"Here." Ros looked round. "Poor sods."

"The summit may be a cover." Lucas frowned. "I don't like any of this, they're playing us."

"Oh really?" Ros narrowed her eyes. "About time we got in on the game."
