(Harry) I knew something was up when I caught Tom, Zoe and Danny having a whispered but animated conversation, that was confirmed when they told me blatant lie about the topic. Sometimes I think that those three do not give me the credit due me, as I always know what is happening on the grid—always. Something was not right, I intended to find out what it was and find out, I did. Tom was convinced that it was necessary to ferret out an American assassin here to kill a British national and tried to do it behind my back.
(Ruth) Zoe, Danny and Tom were whispering among themselves about something, about what I couldn't hear, but Harry was onto them right away. That man misses absolutely nothing that happens on the grid, nothing! We all would do ourselves well if we could take a trick from the observation book from him.
(Harry) I thought Tom was on the blink and Ruth confirmed it when she told me Tom had been following a dead man, a gangster who was found dead in America three days ago. I told her to follow me and we went to the river to talk. The Thames sooths me when I am rattled, always. I was pretty sure that Ruth didn't know what to think when I said to follow me but once we sat down, I watched her slowly relax in my presence. That's when I dropped my bombshell that I thought Tom had gone rogue to which she didn't agree at first. After further explanation on my part, she agreed to stand by me and I can't say how much I was relieved that she would. I'm beginning to trust her and while it feels right to me at the moment, I wonder if it will present a problem in the future.
(Ruth) Harry told me to follow him outside to the river after I told him that Tom had been pursuing a man who was found dead in American three days earlier. Harry said that Tom was on the blink and he was going to issue an arrest warrant for Tom. I didn't believe that about his brightest and best until Harry explained himself some more. When he asked me to stand by him, how could say 'no'? He needed my support and I gave it to him. I was convinced that he was beginning to trust me and I couldn't have been happier-in fact, I was elated! That happiness didn't last though; Tom shot Harry later that day. Tom shot him!
(Harry) Tom disappeared and there was evidence that he killed the Chief of Defence. When Tom called the grid and talked to Zoe, Danny and I were listening in. Tom swore to Zoe that he did not shoot that man but the evidence said otherwise so I got on the phone with him and encouraged him to come in to Thames House. He refused and told us to come to him, without any CO19 support, or he would disappear for good. I made arrangements for CO19 to be on stand-by five minutes away from the meeting place so that Zoe, Danny and I could try to talk Tom into turning himself in. It didn't work and when I pressed the button on the signal device, Tom shot me in the shoulder with a shotgun. The physical pain was awful but so was the thought that a trusted colleague of mine had actually pulled the trigger. That was my last dreadful thought before I lost consciousness.
