About 2am Outside Holly and Gail's Condo
The Toyota left and was replaced again by the Ford. This was observed by Andy McNally who called it in.
The Toyota was followed back to the same building on Queen that The Ford had been tracked to. An intelligence package was ordered on the building. In addition it was decided to disrupt the next change of cars. Precisely how hadn't yet been decided but it would happen.
Once the intelligence package had been put together it was discovered that there was a new tenant renting two floors and two parking spaces. The licence plates the new tenant had declared matched the Ford and Toyota. It was decided to apply for surveillance and search warrants. Once these were received ETF and the RCMP found a cooperative tenant who allowed them to drill small holes through adjoining walls so small wide angle cameras and microphones could be inserted.
An hour later the microphones and cameras had picked up more than enough. A raid was organised by ETF with bomb disposal on standby.
The two people in the Ford were disturbed by a knock on their window at 5:30am. They were sound asleep and at first wondered if the had been caught napping by the relief team. It was Sam Swarek at his most charming. Asking for directions while Oliver Shaw crept round the other side of the vehicle with his gun drawn.
Sam now produced his gun and badge. The couple were taken by surprise. The car was searched and illegal guns were found. The couple were transported to 15th division.
The raid on the building took place at 6:30 am
ETF went into both floors simultaneously. On the upper floor they found 10 people asleep. They were restrained and taken to Police stations across the city for questioning.
The big prize was on the lower floor.
ETF found bomb making equipment and a meth lab. It seemed that the Purity Crusade weren't so pure about their sources of finance. They also found a man and a woman actively constructing a bomb. They were warned to step away. Wisely they did. They were handcuffed and asked their names. They turned out to be Holly's parents.
Sue Tran was called in to deal with the bomb.
"Mercury tilt switch? So last decade." she was heard to mutter as she made the bomb safe.
At 7am Frank phoned Gale.
"We've picked up the couple in the Ford outside your condo together with 12 other people at an address on Queen. We had to arrest Holly's parents. They were constructing a bomb."
"Thanks I'll let Holly know."
"One other thing your mother wants to meet both you and Holly at the station by eight. Quote: 'Get them here Frank this is not a request.'"
Gail chuckled. "OK we'll be there."
She woke Holly and told her they had to hurry to 15th Division. Holly showered and dressed. Gail was already dressed.
"You not going to shower?"
"I'll do it at the station. I keep a change of clothes in my locker."
"What about breakfast?"
"We can get that at the station. Oh, and until we are certain the threat is over we are keeping up the protection."
They hurried to the car park and got into their car. Gail was still alert for dangers and kept her hand on her gun which was in her handbag.
In the car Gail held the gun between her knees and Holly drove out of the car park.
When they got to 15th Division they went up to the Staff Sergeants office.
"Well you two had a good time last night. I can still smell it on you Gail, go and get a shower and change your clothes. I'll look after Holly." Gail was amazed at her mother ability to make her feel like she was 14! But she did as she was ordered anyway.
"Do you have any idea how these phones work? Last time I managed to put the whole division on hold!" Elaine asked Holly after Gail had left.
"Wouldn't it be easier to use your mobile?"
"If I could find it. That's the fourth this week."
"Well put a locator app on it. Both Gail and I have them."
Elaine looked at Holly with a serious expression on her face.
"When Gail told me about you I won't deny than I was shocked. And a little resentful. But I like you Holly. You're a good match for Gail. From the reports I've been getting you've had a tough time with your parents. Do they know about you and Gail?"
"No, we have been planning a way to tell them but it is not easy." Holly decided not to press Elaine on 'resentful' at the moment.
"OK they are in the holding cell downstairs. Bill is in the building somewhere. Why don't Gail, you, Bill and I have breakfast together and then you can introduce us to them, I'll have them moved somewhere private. Oh and I think that a kiss like the one you did in front of me will get the message across nicely, should you wish to do that."
Holly's mouth opened but no sound came out. A look that said 'I am not sure what I just heard.' on her face.
"OK it's agreed." said Elaine.
At the same time in the women's locker rooms.
Gail had showered and was putting on her clothes when Traci came in.
"Hey Gail, how's it going?"
"There were arrests this morning. But we're not sure it's over yet. It's been hard on Holly."
"Must have been."
"Which is why we're organising a party when it is finally over, female only. We're inviting all our female friends from here, including you. I've ordered Steve to look after Leo. We thought we'd ask Celery too. And some of Holly's friends."
"Good idea."
"Holly's inviting a couple of women whose sexual morals are a little loose so if anyone is curious about lesbian sex they can go for the practical rather than asking us about it. It gets boring!"
"Has anyone asked?"
"Andy and Jo. I put Andy off by describing in great detail my favourite move. Her face went whiter than mine!" Jo however is a different kettle of fish."
"You've got me wondering what you said to Andy! And no, I really don't want to know."
"Yeah, involves three fingers and two orifices."
"Aghhh, I said I didn't want to know Gail! I'll have several possibilities in my head now all of them disgusting!"
"Yeah, but boy is it fun!"
Traci gave her friend a sideways quizzical glance. This was certainly a different, happier Gail Peck from the uptight, hard faced woman she'd been in the academy with.
Andy overheard and turned white again. But there was something else in her reaction too...
