Blast from the past

Erin marched back onto that Grid with Alec a few steps behind. Ros glared at the pair as she walked from Harry's abandoned office to where Adam and Lucas were deep in conversation.

"My asset mentioned something called Shining Dawn. Says Towers is involved." Erin folded her arms across her jacket as Zaf walked towards them.

"Towers may be involved but Shining Dawn is defunct. No way it's them."

"No." Adam agreed. "Shining Dawn attacked high volume areas. They had a few thugs who took out smaller places but maximum casualties was their thing. If it was them, they would have attacked on a busier day."

"Unless it's a trial run for something bigger." Lucas watched Ros tense.

"I can't see it." Ros glanced at Zoe who was engrossed in her work. "Anything?"

"Not concrete but I may have something. Does anyone know anything about The British Way?"

"Defunct racist political party." Malcolm joined the conversation. "Fiona infiltrated Whitehall, Adam and Ruth went undercover."

"Ruth?" Calum raised an eyebrow as Beth stared open mouthed. ".Our Ruth?"

"Yeah." Adam smiled. "She saved my life. I told her to get away but she didn't leave. If it wasn't for her I'd have been shot in the face with a cross bow."

"I always said she's tougher than she looks." Ros smiled slightly. "Why them?"

"Ruth would see this, but is it a coincidence that the bomb is detonated as Ruth walks past with the baby on the same day the former leader is released from prison? Surely he 'd have a grudge against Ruth and Adam?" Zoe watched as Adam narrowed his eyes.

"Possible." Lucas agreed. "Would they risk killing indiscriminately just to take out a spook? What about the boy in the van?"

"Ruth said she was certain he recognised her. Any closer on finding a name?" Ros watched as Tariq shook his head.

"Dad." Catherine stated as she marched through the corridors of the hospital towards where Harry was feeding coins into a barely working coffee machine.

"What's the matter?" Catherine ran her hands through her hair as she collected her thoughts.

"Have you spoken to Graham? Teresa?"

"Not since yesterday."

"Gray has been arrested."

"What?"

"Terri called me. The kids are with Carrie, they're fine. Dad. Graham had drugs on him when he was arrested."

"He's clean."

"He had cannabis on him." Catherine watched as he seemed to disintegrate in front of her. "He has to have been set up."

"Why?"

"When he was on that crap he made a lot of enemies. Then there was The Sperm Donner. He hit him when he found out I was pregnant with Charlie."

"Ryan is in prison." Harry shook his head. "Your brother is clean."

"Yes."

"Then this is a set up. Get hold of Malcolm, tell him to find out what happened. Stay with Ruth and call Terri."

"She went to the police station. It's a mess." Catherine closed her eyes.

"Listen to me. Someone has set up Graham. That someone is nothing to do with you or him."

"This is your world? I." She shook her head . "Our world. I'm 6 now too." He nodded.

"I'll get him out. Stay with Ruth." He walked away, leaving Catherine with no option but to do as she was told.

"Moran." Ruth stared at the computer screen. It had been almost ten years since she and Adam had been abducted by the racist thug but she remembered every minute of her time with the man.

"Who?" Catherine asked as she walked in to see Ruth staring at the screen.

"Oh. Hi."

"Graham is in trouble. Dad has gone to see him."

"What happened?"

"Who's Moran?"

"Graham?"

"Ruth."

"He is a very violent, bigoted and dangerous man. Adam and I were abducted by him and almost killed ten years ago. No, nine years, eight months ago. It was my first time in the field."

"Would he be out for revenge?" Catherine watched as Ruth nodded.

"We gave evidence in court. He'd killed a sleeper agent. I found her body. Two more were found exactly where he had told Adam. Fiona went in the political side - her and Zaf took the operation apart from inside Whitehall. We ended The British Way."

"But revenge?"

"It's what he said in court. He had enough followers to make it possible." Ruth buried her head in her hands. "The boy in the van. I have to talk to Ros." She lifted the tablet Ros had left her, just as the physio walked in.

"I'll call her." Catherine sighed. "You let the physio help you." She stepped out of the room more worried than ever.

Harry marched into the police station, giving Graham's name as he reached the desk. He flashed his MI 5 identity card at the desk officer before being led to the cells.

"Dad." Graham looked up.

"I thought my days of getting you out of cells were over."

"I swear that stuff isn't mine. I swear on Gracie's"

"Don't." Harry snapped before leaning forward. His voice low and dangerous. "I know exactly where it came from, you don't have to tell me."

"I."

"Keep your mouth shut." Harry hissed. "You are being moved from here to Thames House but never ever swear on your sister's life. Do you hear me?"

"Yeah." Graham nodded. "Sorry. Terri."

"She's safe. She believes you. I had Calum collect her. The kids are with Carrie. You were set up." Harry kept his voice low. "This is on me not you, not your sister."

Graham frowned before following his father out of the cell.
