fight
Adam ran from the car, knowing there was little if no chance of back up. Zoe was able to hold her own in a fight and he had a fair idea Natasha was more than capable of handling herself. Erin was a different story. He had never seen or heard anything about her getting in a fight. It seemed she could talk the talk, it was whether she could walk the walk was the issue.
"Get your effing 'ands off me!" Natasha yelled as her brother took hold of her arm. "I ain't finished with you yet!" The younger man stepped back as she flung her arm away from him. "When did you get that!"
she jabbed a finger at the offensive tattoo on his forehead. "Mum would skin you alive if she was 'ere !"
"Tash." Adam called as he saw the younger woman at the bar with the scrawny skin headed man with the tattoed forehead.
"Alright?"
"A word." Adam spoke as the rowdy drunks at the bar. He could see Brewer walking towards Erin and Zoe who were already on their feet. "Oi!"
"Alan." Zoe called Adam's fake name as he approached. "You know this idiot?"
"Yeah. Brewer, get away from my Mrs."
"Alan, you were warned inside what would 'appen if you went against me. You let that bloody Spook go."
"I stopped you killing an old man." Adam snapped, knowing Harry would have heart failiure at the way he was being described. He tried not to imagine being posted to the back of beyond. "I told you then, you were getting us more trouble than it was worth. Now? Now the sodding wooden tops are around. I don't need it. My Misses don't need it."
"We were here to meet Tracey." Zoe frowned, Adam nodded. He was relieved she was able to keep to the legend.
"Yeah." Erin stated. "Yeah, why 'as she sent her Daddy to meet us? This is getting stupid."
"Yeah, it is." Brewer stated. "I don't like traitors and turncoats. Whoever they are."
"Your own daughter." Adam stated, thinking of his own little girl. The thought of anyone considering harming his kids made his stomach churn, he didn't understand how any parent could feel any different. Erin stepped forward, ignoring the sound of breaking glass.
"We know she's dead." Erin stated as a glass bottle flew across the pub. Adam ducked the punch headed for him as Erin elbowed the larger man in his stomach before he could grab her. Minutes later sirens filled the air as Adam bundled the larger man out into the early Spring sunshine.

"Damn!" Ruth snapped, the phone slamming into the cradle on Stan's desk.
"Calm down Flower!" Stan laughed. "Your blood pressure will be as high as your husband's at this rate."
"Lucas isn't answering."
"I thought you were calling Adam." Stan walked towards her.
"I did." Ruth bit her lip. "I need to speak to Lucas, or Alec. Dimitri and Zaf are out of range. If I don't get hold of them. If I can't. Harry and Ros. Harry. I mean."
"Breathe." Stan placed both hands on his shoulders.
"Half the time I dunno what on Earth you and your friends up there in Section D are talking about." The friendly security guard laughed. "But this is clearly important. Harry needs you to keep a clear head. Whatever this is about, you need to be calm. You know that eh?"
"Yes, I know." Ruth breathed deeply. "Thanks, Stan."
"Anytime, Flower" He smiled. "Anytime."

Beth psuhed her sunglasses on to her head as she looked aorund her. The contact Dimitri had been due to meet appeared to have changed his mind about hte meet. She could see he was annoyed.
"Dim?"
""This is pathetic." Dimitri snapped as Beth pulled her mobile out of her pocket.
"Ruth?" She ignored Dimitri's temper as she listened to the story of Harry's fake signiture. "Ok, Ok. Ruth. I'll go over there with Dimitri now. Keep me up to date ok? Is Zaf going over there?" Ending the call she turned to Dimitri.
"This is bigger than we thought. Looks like Towers is in Nightingale and always has been."
"What?" Dimitri stood, silently cursing his prosthesis.
"Come one Sailor Boy." Beth sighed. "Looks like we're not meeting your contact after all." She tucked her blonde hair behind one ear as she walked away, leaving him to follow. Shaking his head Dimitri knew that if Towers was involved they really did have problems.
"Adam and the girls have brought Brewer and Lee in for interview."
"At last we're getting somewhere." Dimitri stated as he caught up with her. Beth nodded, hoping he was right.

Ros looked along the empty corridor as Harry checked the gun was loaded. The tiled floor clicked under her feet. Silently Ros cursed before slipping her boots and socks off. Harry smiled slightly as Ros gave him her best glare.
"I like these boots." She hissed as Harry raised an eyebrow.
"But you prefer being alive." Harry whispered as Ros nodded once , the tension rolling from her in waves. Harry watched for a moment , worried they she was paler than ever, that she was walking a little more slowly than usual.
"I'm fine."
"I know." Harry pulled her away from the main corridor. "You always are." Ros narrowed her eyes as footsteps radiated along the dank, dark corridor.

lucss marched into the outer office of the Home Secretary, knowing the younger woman was not going to be as helpful as her predecessor. Alec marched behind him, secretly as worried as Lucas was.
"You can't just barge in here."
"Well we did." Alec held her gaze.
"We need to speak to William Towers. Now."
"That isn't possible." The middle aged woman got to her feet. Lucas ignored her, marching towards the office door.
"I think it is" Alec stated as Lucas pushed the door open.
"Well, I've never heard the like!"
"Stay here." Alec informed the indignant woman who glared at him over her glasses. Lucas pushed the office door open and froze to the spot.
Alec stepped behind Lucas and swore. It seemed they were still playing catch up and he didn't like it.
"Hi guys." The blonde smiled innocently, head on one side. "I wondered if you'd come running to save your precious Harry and Ros."
"Christine." Lucas glared. Alec narrowed his eyes.
"The one and only." Christine smiled.
