The Wanderer Returns?

Nikki stared up at the window knowing that there was no way she was going to get rid of Ed. She had heard exactly how tenancious the Bureau were, now that Jean Daniel had put one of his friends in hospital she knew he had as good a reason as her to go after the bald terrorist.

"Ed."

"What?"

"Heard you are a bit of a spider man in your spare time." She smiled slightly as she nodded towards the small window a few feet above her head.

"Yeah, well." Ed smiled as she turned towards him. "In my younger days."

"Ok." Nikki nodded. "What about now?"

"You think there's something in there?" Ed followed her gaze.

"Could be."

"Ok." Ed shrugged off his leather jacket. "Ok."

"So." Jan stood behind her desk staring out at the London landscape through her window. "Let's see, shall we?"

"Boss." Beth threw her long brown ponytail over her shoulder.

"We have a man; known to be a criminal mastermind on the loose. He has kidnapped Ros and Beckett. Killed Adam and has currently evaded capture."

"Yes." Beth nodded, aware that disagreeing with the boss on one of her rants was not a good idea. The younger welsh woman glanced towards Alex. The blonde woman looked phhysically and mentally exhausted. Sighing heavily she knew it was Alex that had lost the most.

"We know this." Alex held Jan's gaze. "But what now? There hasn't been a word from Ed since he told us he had met with Nikki."

"True." Jan began pacing the room. "Alex, find out as much as you can about Ed's ex girlfriend Clare. I think you are right about Jean Daniel needing help to sabotage your wedding and help him find somewhere to hold his hostages."

"Ok." Alex sighed before stepping back.

"Beth." Jan stared at the would be officer. She knew the receptionist was more than capable of becoming a field operative but she still wasn't 100% sure she could be trusted to keep her sharp tongue in control.

"Boss."

"Keep an eye on her."

"Yes Boss."

"Nick?" Ros walked towards him as he smiled slightly. "Are you ok?"

"Me?" Nick beamed back at her. "I'm ok."

"Then can you stop smiling like that? It's starting to give me the creeps." She grabbed her jacket from the end of the bed, glad that she was finally going home, having had the all clear from both the maternity and the neurologists.

"Sorry." He dipped his head, staring sheepishly at her. "But I just can't believe it. I'm going to be a dad."

"Yeah." Ros laughed. "That is if."

"If we can stop that scumbag from trying to kill us." She looked away not wanting him to see how scared she really was. Beckett sighed heavily before pulling her into his arms. He knew she was right, just because they had escaped more than once didn't mean he wouldn't keep coming after them. The danger all the more real now there was a baby involved.

"He wont." Beckett stated with more certainty than he had ever felt in his life. "He won't." Ros closed her eyes and let him hold her, relieved to have someone else to lean on.

"Okaay." Ed swung his leg through the small window wondering how long it had been since anyone else had been in the stuffy and dust filled room. He knew Nikki was outside with no idea what he had found. For a moment he had no intention of telling her. Special Branch had never been on particularly good terms with any of the security services. Smiling he remembered the last time he had been at HQ, the Section Head in the rooms below the Bureau offices had no concerns about letting half the building know what he thought about the involvement of Special Branch in his operations. Although he had laughed at the time now he could see his point.

"Okay, what do we have here?" He dug in his pocket as he felt his mobile vibrate in his pocket. "Hello?"

"Shit." Nikki looked out over the water. The rain clouds had reformed and she knew that she was going to be soaked to the skin in a few minutes. Tugging her collar closer to her skin she marched towards the edge of the water narrowing her eyes as she spotted a small boat in the distance. "Oh that is just perfect." She hissed as she dug in her pocket for the small phone she always carried. She had to talk to Ed and the last thing she needed was him playing superheros.

"Never mind hello." She hissed. "Get what evidence you can and get out of there. He's back. Repeat Jean Daniel is back."

A/N Thought it was about time he turned up again. Please review.
