Once in his car Greg forced his mind away from the vulnerable woman he had left working in his flat, making the journey to Bloomsbury in record time. He pulled up outside the cordoned off, bomb damaged house.

Ducking under the tape he walked over to Detective Constable Greenaway who was standing with the senior fire officer, Sub Officer O'Neill.

"What have we got?" he asked the younger man while nodding to acknowledge the fireman.

"The house belongs to one Peter Openshaw, local gang leader, runs the WC1 area." Greenaway looked up from his notes. "We don't know yet if he was home, the neighbours weren't sure"

Greg turned to the fire officer.

"Was it a device?"

Greg opened his mouth to ask a question but was interrupted by another firemen hurrying to report to the senior fire officer.

"Sir, we've found a body."
