Informed
Ros entered the carriage that would take the occupants of the train to France. Lucas walked behind her as irate passengers moaned about the lack of information. She nodded toward Zaf and Zoe who were busy making their way towards were Towers was sat.
"Please stay in your seat." Zoe's accent cut through the general low level noise. A middle aged woman screamed just as Ros reached her. The slumped body of a middle aged man fell against her. Lucas pulled her away revealing a clammy, grey Towers foaming at the mouth.
"Cyanide pill." Lucas touched Towers cold neck before shaking his head. Ros glared at the dead man, hatred radiating from her eyes.
"Coward."
"I'll get a clean up squad."
"Get these people off this train." Ros snapped as Zoe and Zaf began evacuating the other passengers. "I'll call Harry."

"Stubborn, infuriating, pig-headed,"
"You married him." Calum smirked as Ruth continued to berate Harry under her breath. She shot him a filthy look before getting up and heading towards Harry's abandoned office. Malcolm tutted at Calum under his breath before following Ruth.
"If it helps." Malcolm sighed as Ruth turned to face him with tears in her eyes. "I planted a tracer on him during the meeting today."
"You?"
"A tad unethical I dare say but he's my oldest friend and I know what he's like." Ruth smiled slightly.
"Oh Malcolm."
"He hasn't left Thames House."
"The interview room?"
"The cells."
"Oh God." Ruth frowned as Tariq burst in.
"Timing, yeah I know." Tariq stated. "Zaf just called. Towers is dead. Suicide."
"One way of avoiding capture." Malcolm hissed. Ruth picked up the phone.
"Well, he wanted to be informed." She punched his number into the phone as both men watched. "Get hold of Adam. Get them back here."
"Boss." Tariq nodded before returning to the Grid. Malcolm squeezed her arm before leaving her.

"Stan." Harry nodded towards the larger than life security guard.
"Mornin'"
"It's almost 6."
"When you in for the night, Sir Harry that's morning. You want to talk to the boy? The one arrested earlier."
"Detained. MI 5 do not arrest. We detain." The security guard laughed.
"Whatever you say." He shook his head. "Only your wife has called asking me to keep you talking until she arrived." He nodded as Harry glared. "I guess I can shut up now."
"Thanks Stan." Ruth gasped as she reached him. "Your mobile is off."
"Ruth."
"Keep me informed. That's what you said."
"Ruth." She touched his arm ushering him towards the lift.
"Towers is dead. Moran is in custody. No tree branches this time. Towers killed himself and Moran tried to shoot Adam but Alec intervened. No casualties on our team."
"For a change."
"Turn Sophie's boyfriend over to the police. Let him and Moran stand trial together. Towers has already sealed his fate."
"And escaped justice."
"Has he? Really?" Ruth sighed as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I suppose, in a way." Harry took her hand before leading her back to the Grid.
