Drive

Ros sat in the back of the dark Mercedes as Harry climbed in next to her. The gun she had slipped from the driver without him noticing perched precariously in the waistband of her jeans, covered by Harry's large suit jacket. He nodded seeing what she had. Part of him wanted to believe the Prime Minister was currently ranting and raving through the corridors of Whitehall but the part of him that knew politicians well enough knew he wasn't.

"Thames House? Sir Harry?" The young man driving asked. Ros quirked an eyebrow at the use of Harry's title.

"No. Thankyou." Harry narrowed his eyes. "The embankment will do."

"Yes sir Harry." The young man kept his eyes on the road. Ros stiffened in her seat, waiting for something else to go wrong.

"Adam." Malcolm looked up as the younger man crossed the room to where Ruth and Lucas were talking.

"Yes." Adam turned to him.

"With Ros indisposed you are in charge."

Adam nodded, unsure what Malcolm was trying to say. Malcolm looked away for a moment. "I know that. Malcolm?"

"I think you should see this." He turned the computer screen. Adam ran a hand over his face, seeing the image Malcolm was concerned about made his stomach turn.

"When was this?"

"Ruth was looking in 6's database while I had a look in Whitehall. Really, their security system is pathetically easy to invade."

Adam nodded.

"This is definitely them?"

"I believe so."

"Ruth and Lucas are not to see this. And especially not Zaf or Catherine."

"Especially not Zaf what ?" Adam turned to see his best friend watching him. "Adam?"

"We have reason to believe Nightingale have tortured Ros. The same way you were by the Redbacks." The colour drained from Zaf 's face as Adam spoke.

"Bloody Hell!" All eyes turned on Alec as the former IA man read the computer screen over Erin's shoulder. Beth and Dimitri grabbed their coats.

"They're ok." Ruth seemed to sag in her chair as Catherine swore. "Cath?"

"Baby. Now." She hissed as Calum jumped from his seat. "Owch!"

"Calum get Catherine to the maternity unit. Now." Ruth suddenly took charge. Her step daughter gripped the sides of the desk as Ruth spoke. Calum swallowed hard as Zoe handed him his jacket.

"Come on, I'll drive you." Zoe tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "But if you give birth in my car you can pay for professional cleaning. Understand ?"

Catherine nodded as Ruth watched the young couple go.

Harry leant forward in the car as he realised the driver was not heading towards the embankment as instructed. Closing his eyes for a moment he refused to believe the Prime Minister was involved. Glancing at Ros he could sense the steel in her eyes.

"This is fine. I'm sure you have other duties." Harry stared at the driver. Ros' fingers flexed on the gun. The driver ignored them, instead heading towards the West End. Ros smirked.

"Tenacious little man."

"Orders are orders." The driver stated before pushing his foot dangerously hard onto the accelerator. Ros nodded to Harry, aware the car's central locking was activated. Harry tried to reason with the man once more while Ros checked her seatbelt. Seconds later the windscreen exploded as the car flipped over twice, resting finally facing the opposite carriageway on its roof. Gingerly Ros slipped her seatbelt off as sirens got louder. Harry kicked the door until a passer by helped the three escape the car. The young driver staggered towards the pavement as Harry ordered a police officer on scene to hold onto him. Breathing heavily Harry looked up at the nearest CCTV camera and smiled.
