Revelations.

Beckett rested a hand on Ros' arm as Ed waited. It seemed the Australian was growing short on patience as he looked around. Beckett bit his lip as Ros closed her eyes.

"I can't"

"You can." Hen handed her the rope once more. "I am not leaving you here. C'mon Ros, let's go home."

"Ed." Ros looked up, for the first time on the verge of tears. Beckett glanced towards the door, petrified that the noise Ed was making would case Jean Daniel to come running. The break in the little window at least provided some much needed oxygen but that didn't mean their captor wouldn't come up with a more sadistic way to kill them. Carefully Ed pulled on the rope so that Ros was lifted to safety. Ed smiled the entire time, quietly whistling the theme to the 'Great Escape' under his breath.

"Oh my God." Alex winced and covered her ears as Jan pulled the car into the docklands. The black Renault Megane was not exactly easy to conceal amongst the open buildings and wide open spaces. Jan shook her head as Alex pulled out her mobile. Both women knew that somewhere in the middle of all the cacophany Ed was up to something.

"Ed." Jan stated as she saw Alex smile for the first time since they had found Adam's body.

"Yeah."

"Question is, if Ed is in there causing all this drama where are Ros and Beckett?"

"Probably where Ed is." Alex shook her head as Jan pulled the car into a small alcove and prayed it was kept out of sight.

"Ok?" Ed asked as he pulled Ros onto the roof. Ros nodded as she almost fell onto the flat roof. Her hand flew straight to her abdomen as Ed raised an eyebrow.

"Just get Nick." She sighed as she tried to catch her breath.

Ed nodded before looking back through the skylight to find his friend. He cursed under his breath as he realised Ros still hadn't told the former Navy man what they had discussed before the wedding.

"Hey Beckett." Ed called as Nick looked up, nodded and began trying to climb up the rope. The sound of footsteps approaching almost made him stop in fear. He could hear Ed trying to get him to hurry up.

"Coming." He closed his eyes and tried no to think of the height he was climbing, knowing if he did Ed would have another dead weight to try to drag to freedom.

"Yeah, well. In your own time." Ed sighed as he watched Ros sat next to him breathing heavily. He had no idea what was wrong but he knew he had to get his friend out of the docklands as soon as possible.

"Where are they?" Jan watched as Alex bit her lip. She still had misgivings about bringing the young widow but knew there was no way Alex would have stayed behind. She knew the younger woman hated being alone in the office at the best of times and this was no way she could think of the day they were having as the best of times.

"Good question." Jan sighed.

"Jean Daniel has never really owned anything. His money came from his father and his brother's wills. He hasn't actually earned his own money."

"Probably something to do with the amount of time he spends in prison." Jan answered dryly as Alex rolled her eyes.

"My point is." Alex started, "If he was in prison until recently someone had to have bought the building he owns here on his behalf."

"Right."

"Well the question is who?"

"That's what I want to know." Alex tapped a few keys on her phone before staring out of the car window certain that she had seen something in the distance.

"Ros." Beckett scrambled to his feet as Ed tried to retrieve his equipment. The techi looked paler than ever as she looked across at him and smiled slightly. He glanced towards Ed who had noticed it too.

"You ok?" Ed asked as Ros struggled to get to her feet. The world seemed to lurch on it's side as she nodded slowly as she fought the urge to vomit. Beckett didn't like the way she had kept quiet once Ed had found them. He had been desperate to tell her he was right, there was no way either of them were dying but the look in her eyes made him fall silent.

"Yeah." She lied. "Can we go home now?"

"Thought you'd never ask." Ed flashed his best charm smile as Ros swallowed hard.

Beckett stepped towards her just as her world turned black.

"Ros!"

"Bloody Hell. "Ed started as he watched his friend scoop her into his arms.

"Ed?"

"This way, mate." Ed led him to a fire escape, acutely aware that the fire alarms he had set off wouldn't be a distraction for much longer.

A/N I personally prefer this version of the chapter. I decided to make this story a bit longer than the six or seven chapters I was aiming for. Don't worry, there's still plenty of Jean Daniel to come.
