BANG ?

Malcolm checked his mobile phone, half expecting a message from Ros or Adam insisting he return to the Grid. He knew the centre of London was still a no go area, the radio news had stated there was a police incident in full swing with as many people to avoid the area as possible. Sighing he placed the phone back in his pocket as he saw Ruth and the children enter the chapel. Smiling he nodded as she approached. Sarah stood by his side, waiting for their friends to join them.

"Hi." Nick sat down with Charlie copying everything he did. It was clear the toddler adored his older uncle and was trying to emulate him the only way a three year old could. Gracie climbed up onto the pew with a little help from Ruth.

"Hiya." Sarah smiled at the children, noticing Scarlett sat at Nick's feet with a pink bow around her collar. Noticing her look at the dog Ruth smiled.

"Long story. Anyway, Spike is here too. Look." She turned to see the small Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in Tariq's arms. Sarah shook her head. The idea of dogs at a wedding suddenly not as absurd as she was once sure it was. Malcolm nodded to Tariq who headed towards them, leaving Calum and Erin to talk to Erin's mother. Rosie stepped back, seeing Nick and the other children and headed towards them. The baby Ruth carried stirred for a moment but ultimately decided she was going to sleep through her parents' wedding.

"I think Harry and Catherine are here." Rosie stated as Erin called her back. Ruth nodded, knowing her stepdaughter's life was about to change forever.

"Adam?" Ros spoke into the comms, wishing she was on the ground so that she could see what was going on. "Adam?" The comms crackled into life as Zoe swore. Ros ignored her, moments earlier all comms had been lost. CCTV footage of the London streets they were worried about had also been lost. Lucas was on his way there with Dimitri and Beth. Memories of a Rememberance Sunday years earlier flooded her mind. Exploding cars and liars flooded her mind for a moment. Pushing the more morbid thoughts to the back of her mind she looked every bit the Ice Queen she knew she was famous for. Ros Myers was in control, even if inside she was panicking slightly.

"Do we call Harry?" Zoe asked.

"No." Ros snapped. "No, we keep trying the comms. See if you can get the CCTV footage back. I'll call Lucas. We still don't know what has happened."

"At least CO19 found one detonator."

"You know as well as I do, Zoe we wont be measured on our successes. Neither the media nor our bosses given a stuff about what we do right. It's always about what didn't work, what we didn't stop and right now I have two officers that I can't locate and a possible explosion on one of the busiest streets of the Capital." Ros pushed the digits on her mobile phone that would connect her with Lucas. Swearing under her breath she turned to see Alec hit the computer screen in front of him.

"Vandalism isn't going to help."

"Works on the telly at home." Alec explained as he hit it again. "There!"

"The most high tech and advanced security service in the world and we are reduced to hitting computers to get them working." She frowned.

"Yeah." Alec nodded, his eyes fixed on the screen. "Someone took out the cameras on purpose."

"At the risk of sounding like Tariq, no shit Sherlock." Ros walked towards him.

"Ok, but do you know who?" Alec tapped a few keys just as Ros' phone sprang to life.

"Who?" She checked the screen on her phone as it rang again. "The DG can wait."

"The same person who planted the detonator?" Zoe raised an eyebrow.

"Who we can now see leaving the shop next to the Registry Office." Alec turned the screen so Zoe and Ros could see. Zoe ran a hand through her short hair as Ros glared.

"I don't believe it." Zoe snapped. "He's dead."

"Clearly not. Unless he has an evil twin." Ros glared at the screen. "Ok, this is serious. Zoe, ring Adam. And keep trying. Alec, you find me an address for this idiot and I don't care how you do it." Ros walked towards Harry's abandoned office.

"What are you going to do?" Zoe's cut glass accent began to grate on Ros' nerves. Turning she looked Zoe in the eye.

"Try to get hold of Lucas and the others, with any luck stop Armegeddon before it starts."

"Usual stuff then." Alec smiled as he pulled on his jacket. Ros rolled her eyes, knowing she had to make a few phone calls and just hoped Harry would understand why she had to do what she was about to.

Harry smiled as the priest announced the couple were officially married. Charlie clapped his hands as Gracie leant against Ruth's shoulder. The toddler had fallen asleep moments earlier. Ruth blinked back a tear, remembering her own wedding day. The service ended and the few guests that had made the new destination made their way out of the small chapel. Tariq and Malcolm checked their mobiles instinctively as Erin and Ruth did the same.

"Three missed calls from Ros." Ruth frowned as Catherine and Graham headed out of the chapel with Lucy and Charlie. Harry closed his eyes and swore.

"It had better be good." Harry pulled on the collar of his blue shirt, loosening the tie he hadn't really wanted to wear anyway. Ruth swallowed hard, remembering the phone call from Ros that morning. It seemed unreal that it had only been a few hours ago that they had been trying to get 'plan B' together while Ros and the others had been dealing with a terrorist threat.

"We are needed on the Grid."

"One day." Harry paused. "One day, that's not too much to ask." Harry closed his eyes as Ruth held Gracie.

"We see Catherine and Graham off on honeymoon. Then we go back to work? Yes?" Ruth tilted her head as Harry pulled the tie off. Malcolm took photos of the happy couple and their children as Harry pulled Ruth into his arms.

"As always the voice of reason. My Ruth." He kissed her gently as Gracie wriggled in her arms.

"Come on." Ruth stepped back. "No rest for the wicked." Harry winked at her, whispering seductively in her ear.

"And we all know how wicked I can be." Ruth blushed before stepping away to see Catherine and her new husband get into the car that would take them to the airport. Catherine waved her hand manically as Ruth tried to jog towards her in the most uncomfortable heels she possessed.

"Ruth." Catherine began as Ruth reached her. "Thank you for everything. I mean. You and Dad. You've been amazing."

"Go on holiday. Have a fantastic time. I'm sorry we couldn't save the reception but your Dad put an envelope under the passenger seat." Ruth smiled as Harry joined her. Calum fastened Charlie's seatbelt as Catherine leant forward, pulling an envelope from under the seat in front of her.

"Dad?"

"Open it at the airport. Ok?" Harry smiled as Charlie waved to him. Catherine nodded as the chauffer started the engine. Moments later the car pulled away leaving Harry and Ruth watching them go.

"So, she got her happy ending." Ruth smiled as she lead Harry back to the car. Harry smiled, watching the car drive away. Graham began rounding the kids up as everyone slowly left.

"Yes." Harry nodded. "Yes, she did. Now to see what's going on at the Grid." Ruth nodded as Harry spoke. It was going to be a long day.
