Here's another chapter, hope you like it.

Ruth and Harry walked onto the grid together. He still wasn't happy that she was back at work but knew that further arguing wasn't going to help.

"Ruth!" Beth greeted her eagerly, pleased that she was back. "How are you? Are you sure you should be back so soon?"

"No," Harry said, walking straight to his office.

"He seems mad," Beth said sitting behind her desk as Ruth followed her.

"He wants me at home, lying in bed asleep," Ruth said sharply. "Not trawling through MI5's database looking for Japanese terrorists. He's just worried about me." She couldn't feel angry at Harry for too long. Not when she remembered how much he cared about her. How much he loved her.

"Are you okay?" Beth asked seriously.

"Yeah," Ruth said honestly. "I'm just glad that the babies okay." She put a hand over her stomach as her computer booted itself up.

"You gave us all a scare you know," Beth said. "Don't blame Harry for being overprotective."

"I know," Ruth said beginning to type.

"He thought you were going to die," Beth replied. Ruth looked at her keyboard, unable to rest her eyes anywhere else. She was spared having to reply by Dimitri's appearance on the grid.

"Hi Be… Ruth, you're back!" he said loudly.

"Good to know I vanish when another woman comes on the grid," Beth said sarcastically, raising her eyebrows at Dimitri. He ignored her.

"How are you?" Dimitri asked, sitting on Beth's desk.

"Fine," Ruth replied. Harry came out from his office at the same time as Tariq came in.

"We have a problem," Harry said, his eyes resting on Ruth. "Some probable members of the JF have been traced by immigration coming into the UK." Ruth sighed and began typing away, checking databases as Tariq looked at the CCTV. Harry continued talking but Ruth wasn't paying a lot of attention, focused as she was trying to track the Japanese. She knew he was watching her, waiting for her to do something. She didn't oblige. Eventually he retreated to his office and Ruth typed him an email as her face recognition software started its work.

Please stop worrying about me. Your eyes are burning a hole in the back of my computer screen. Do some work. Love you. R x

Harry read it the instant she sent it. He smiled briefly and looked at her intensely through the glass of his office. After a long moment he typed back.

I just worry about you. Both of you. This isn't exactly the most peaceful area for you to be resting. Love you too. H x

Ruth read it with a smile, was about to type back when she froze as the face recognition did its job.

"Oh, that's not good," she murmured. Three Japanese men with FJ connections were walking through Waterloo train station. They all had backpacks on and Ruth had a sixth sense that explosives were inside. No logic was telling her that, she just had a feeling. She picked up her phone and called through to Harry's office.

"We need to evacuate Waterloo station now," she said firmly. He glared at her and left his office to talk to her.

"What is it?" he asked her. Everyone else looked at her computer screen as she pointed at the Japanese men.

"No," Dimitri said under his breath. He left the grid at a run, presumably to head to Waterloo station.

"Tariq, get CO19 down there now," Harry said. "Beth, get Dimitri on the phone. I need to talk to him." Ruth watched Harry organise everyone to catch the terrorists. He left her with no job to do, which she didn't think was a coincidence. Suddenly Ruth's phone began ringing. She picked it up, wondering who it was.

"This is the leader of the Freedom of Japan," a male voice came through. Ruth put it on speaker so everyone else could hear. "As you know, we have three bombers in Waterloo station. I imagine you are on your way to arrest them right now. If that happens I will release a code which will automatically detonate those three bombs, and five others located around your capital city. So I advise you to let them through."

"What do you want?" Harry said in a calmer voice than he felt.

"At the moment, all I want is for you to allow my men to leave the station. I will call when I require anything else." The man disconnected the call and Harry turned to Tariq.

"Trace?"

"Yep, a flat in London. Address is 32 Walker street," Tariq said after some frantic timing.

"Beth, go over there with back up now," Harry said firmly and she left the grid. "Ruth, find me something on these idiots. Now." Ruth smiled and began doing what she did best.

Ruth stretched her neck from side to side, making the bones crack from the tension. It had been a long day. She closed her eyes as her computer shut down. Dimitri had eventually caught up with the man who had called them earlier in the day. There had been a shoot out and he had died before they could question him. Once he was out of action it hadn't been too difficult to round up all the other UK members of the FJ, with a little help from Ruth's infallible research.

She relaxed as she felt Harry's hands rubbing her shoulders lightly. She hadn't heard him walk behind her but she needed his presence. Everyone else had gone home and she felt glad as his hands continued to work on her back. She sighed quietly in contentment.

"You didn't listen to me," Harry said quietly.

"What?"

"Its nearly midnight and you didn't go home," Harry said.

"So sack me," Ruth said, enjoying his touch far too much to care at that moment in time. "You need me at work. Who else distracts you from your job long enough to stare out of your office window all day long?" Harry chuckled but didn't apologise.

"It seems you are a very distracting presence," he whispered against her neck, sending shivers down her spine. After a moment he resumed rubbing her shoulders. "I knew there was a reason I got more done when you weren't here." Ruth smiled but said nothing. She didn't want to be reminded of any time that was spent away from Harry. She felt him move her hair and kiss her neck gently.

"Is it horrible that I feel so happy after a day filled with bomb threats and Japanese terrorists?" Ruth asked.

"No," Harry said quietly. "I think we waited long enough to be happy." She turned and looked into his eyes, nodding.

"Shall we go home?" Ruth asked, collecting her things together. Harry smiled and they left the pods together.
