Manchester Airport, UK

The X-ray had shown some suspicious metallic shapes in a suitcase. The owner had been identified. He had been pulled at customs and searched. The Metallic objects had been gun parts. He had been arrested. He was going to do serious time. He was the duped decoy.

Another man went through the green channel. He wasn't carrying gun parts. He imagined that getting a gun in England would be easy, it never occurred to him that the laws would be different from the US. He was wrong. A friend in the US had given him some names to look up.

His passport had triggered an alert at the British end. The trigger wasn't real time and wouldn't be known about for a few hours. But when it was the UKBA were on the phone to both the IMB room at Holloway and Boston PD HQ. The man who had shot Frost, was using the name Jonnie Johnson, and was in Manchester.

He bought a pay-as-you-go phone from Tescos and started making calls. He always got the same response.

"Sorry love, 'e ain't 'ere, won't be for some time."

The first time he'd pressed and found out that the man was in 'Stangeways', wherever that was, doing a 20 stretch, that he understood. So "Strangeways" was a prison, only thing was it sounded more like a loony bin, maybe it was that too. This was a strange country. He'd walked round Manchester had seen men walking along holding hands and nobody seemed to care. Strange.

There were no gun shops here. None. At his hotel he looked up UK gun laws and found that they were the antithesis of the US's laws. There was strict gun control with a complete ban on hand guns. About the only thing he could get semi-legally was an air weapon and they didn't do anything like the type of damage he wanted to do.

He did some more research. He made the mistake of doing a search from his laptop via his hotel wifi that triggered a report to the UK authorities.

London UK

Jane was on the phone to Korzak.

"That bastard is in the UK." she said.

"Yeah I heard. Angela is over there too. Not good."

"Yeah but it is OK she's with me and Rachel and we're being guarded by an ARV."

"ARV?" "Sorry, Armed Response Vehicle"

"SO19 eh? Those boys and girls are efficient."

SO19 is the firearms unit of London's Metropolitan Police Service.

"Yeah I saw their MMP equivalent take out Paddy Doyle. I need to tell you something else Vince."

"Go ahead."

"I've fallen heavily for someone over here. I don't think I'll be coming back. Not permanently anyway."

"What's the name?"

"Rachel Bailey."

"Yeah Frost thought you might be falling for her."

"Bright boy!"

"Yeah he was."

"Tell me what she's like. If Jane Rizzoli's fallen for her she must be quite a girl."

"She's lovely, she's clever, her nickname in the MMP is Sherlock 'cos she'll spot something no-one else has and break a case. She's tall, slim, with long brown hair and deep brown eyes."

"Sounds a bit like you!"

"No she's way cleverer! She gets her bosses to back her, I never got there with any Lieutenant I worked for! There's one story where she and her partner DC Janet Scott were working a serial killer case that had gone back 40 years. Janet's school mate had been the first victim. Rachel spotted a calender on that victim's brother's wall and blew the case wide open from there. Then she got very drunk one night and rang the DCI and told her where the same serial killer had buried the diaries he'd kept of his killings!"

"She is good!"

"Yeah, almost makes me feel sorry for Paddy Doyle, he never stood a chance!"

"Let's hope they catch the other guy, the one that is after you."

"If they can't I don't know who can. Anyway got to go now. Bye Vince"

"Bye Jane."

"I'll have to meet him someday! I presume that was your Sargent?" Rachel had been standing in the doorway.

"Yeah, it was Vince and he'd like to meet you too."

They left for Holloway.

The news of the internet search came through to DCI Murray, she ordered an intelligence package on the hotel.

Manchester, UKThe manager was an ex DC, lucky that, he was contacted and agreed to cooperate. The Police searched "Mr Johson's" room and then moved into the room next door. Waited for him to return.

When he did an armed response team was on the scene. They opened his door. Placed a ballistic shield in the doorway and yelled "Armed Police. Remove all clothing except your underpants. Come towards my voice."

Jonnie (his first name was real) looked around the room, he looked out of the window. He saw what he thought was the local SWAT with weapons trained on his head. He went back into the room and did as he had been told. When he got ten feet from the ballistic shield he was told to lie flat, arms outstretched. He did so, the ballistic shield was removed and the armed officers entered his room, all the while pointing their guns at him. He got the feeling that if he moved a muscle without permission he'd die. He was cuffed and half dragged half marched out of the hotel to a waiting van still dressed only in his underpants. POLSA would search the room thoroughly and he would be charged with entertaining the country illegally on a false passport.

Janet would interview him and he would tell her everything. She is that good.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts was already talking to the State Department about extradition.

London, UK

After receiving the news of the arrest SO19 and SO1 (Specialist Protection) were stood down.

Rachel and Jane decided to try a vegetarian cafe called "First Out" for lunch. They asked Gill and Angela to come. They all ordered food and sat at a table.

Couples sat at some of the other tables, most were same-sex couples. What Rachel hadn't told anyone except Jane was that First Out is a well know meeting place for the LGBT community in London.

"Nice place." said Angela "Got some class."

Just then two women kissed as they took a bottle of wine downstairs. Angela's mouth opened but no sound came out.

Gill smiled at Rachel "Still got it then kid."

"Eh?" said Rachel.

"Well you just cracked the case of the homophobic mother."

Jane, Gill and Rachel laughed. Angela looked put out.

"Got some news for you Jane. Dr Isles is being transferred to Styal Prison near Manchester. It should make visiting easier. Her trial is being transferred to Manchester Crown Court since most of the witnesses are from north west of England." said Gill after she'd finished laughing.
