Morgana ran into her brothers room and woke him up, she was frantic and started talking before he was even awake properly. Hearing Merlin's name he took Morgana's hands in his and tried to calm her down "Morgana I can't understand what you are saying and I missed half of it, calm down sis and start again"

Morgana took a deep breath and although still wild eyed she started to talk slower. "I had a vision, someone called Mordred was telling me about Merlin. He called him Emrys. They had joined together to give them enough power to break though the suppressors and contact me they told me about where they were being held and what they were doing. Arthur it's horrible. Mordred says Merlin is having to kill people against his will!"

Arthur paled, he couldn't think of a worse thing for gentle Merlin to be forced to do "Morgana stop now, I'm sure you don't want to have to repeat this so let's get Leon and you can tell both of us"

Arthur got on the phone and called Leon who said he would be there within half an hour, even though it was only six in the morning. Arthur put on his dressing gown and took Morgana downstairs to the kitchen and made them both a cup of tea. By the time Leon had arrived Lance was also up. Leon had a tape recorder with him.

"Let's go into my study we will have privacy there" Arthur suggested.

Once they were all settled Morgana told them what she had seen in her vision. "It was like this Mordred was talking to me. He was taken a week before Merlin. As soon as Merlin arrived they tested him and found out he was very powerful then they connected him to some sort of machine. They are removing his magic to power drug testing factory, that's what they are using the kidnapped people for, to test drugs on" Morgana paused and tears ran down her face, her voice went low as she forced herself to continue. "Once they have finished testing the people are put into chambers and Merlin's magic is used to incinerate them alive!" Morgana threw herself into her brother's arms.

The three men were shocked it was far worse than they expected. Once Morgana was a bit calmer Leon asked "Did they say where they were, how they were taken or who by?"

Morgana looked at Leon and nodded "They told me what they knew. Both were taken in the same way, enticed to a park by someone asking for help with their magic, then they were shot with some sort of magic suppressor and taken away in a van. Merlin mentioned a name Daegal." She paused "the place they are in has no windows and is huge with cells for the magic users, there are at least fifty there at a time. Mordred says he thinks it's underground. As he can remember going down in a lift when he arrived." She stopped once more and looked at her brother "Merlin has seen Uther there, he is trying to find a way to destroy all magic."

Arthur hissed, he hated to think his father was involved but as he had already began to suspect it was not a surprise. "Is there anything else Morgs"

"Mordred said Merlin was so powerful he is providing the power for everything. And before him they were using several magic users at once. They hear them screaming. He asked we need to hurry as he thinks Merlin is going insane with pain and self-hate."

Leon looked at Morgana "Is that everything Morgana? Anything else no matter how small. Do either of them know anyone else there besides your father?"

Morgana stopped at thought "Someone called Edwin, he had a scared face. I'm not sure if he helped or was a prisoner"

With that Morgana collapsed and Arthur picked her up, "I will take her to her room, Lance could you ask Gaius to come a sedated her please. Don't tell him anything other than she has had a vision. I don't think he could cope with knowing what they are doing to Merlin"

Leon looked at Arthur "I will call the other here, it might be best not to do this in the station. We need to work with what we have, I think it best we don't alert your father at this stage. He will only cover everything up, he has very powerful friends. I'm sorry Arthur but we will bring him to justice and at least now we have something to go on."

"Do what you must Leon. Neither Morgana nor myself will want him to get away with this."

"Do we trust Mary Annis? She did work for your father for many years?" Leon wanted to know.

"You can, she is a very straight woman and will help I am sure. If anyone has any idea where this underground facility is it will be her" Arthur told his friend.

As soon as everyone arrived Leon took his team into Arthur's office. Gwaine was sent out to see if he could trace either Edwin or Daegal as well as continue to see if he could find out who was kidnapping the sorcerers. Percy was to continue with the investigations they already had ongoing and Leon was going to talk to Mary Annis to see if anything could be gleaned from her. Lance would document the tape from Morgana and look into any sites in the area that had large underground areas.

Arthur went on with his ordinary work and tried to free himself up as much as he could. He had a feeling that if they were lucky in finding the sorcerers there would be a lot of people needing his help. At the moment other than supporting his sister and Gaius he had nothing to do with the investigation. At that moment he wished he had gone into the police force so he could help now. He did ask Gwen of she could make sure all the spare rooms were ready for occupancy in case they were needed he had a bad feeling thing were going to get rougher for all of them. Arthur also suggested to Leon that perhaps he should go and see his father and talk to him.

Leon vetoed that idea "Arthur you don't get on with him, he might get suspicious if he is really involved and we can't risk that not if we want to get these people out alive" Arthur reluctantly agreed and stayed away.

Gwaine went back to the area he had been hanging out in. It was an area covered with clubs and pubs but also had a fair share of more deprived housing. Just the sort of people that the team thought might be willing to sell information on magic users. It was also an area that had a seen over twenty sorcerers disappear from. As usual he drifted into one of the bars that had got to know him. Gwaine could drink like a fish without it affecting him and he had a gregarious personality that fitted in. He was also unknown in the area as a policeman. He got a lead when he was out his second night and in his third pub of the evening when he was talking to a group of men he had met on several occasions he asked "Any of you guys know a Daegal, only me mam in Ireland says her friends boy lives around here and I thought I might look him up"

One of the men looked at him and laughed "I wouldn't bother mate, I know a Daegal funny lad, if it's the one you're looking for"

"I better try or me mam will never forgive me. Anyway Jim where can I find him?" Gwaine asked

"The Rising Sun is his normal drinking hole, if he's the one you're looking for he's always been a bit of a funny lad but recently he's got worse, girl trouble I guess, comes in here and drinks himself silly every night but not happy like but on his own in the corner." Jim grinned "Can't be many with a name like that"

"Is in Ireland mate, well I best go find out, after all I can tell mam I tried" Gwaine left and made his way to the Rising Sun and on asking the barman was pointed to a table with a lone drinker Gwaine wondered over with two drinks and put both down "Hi mate ok if I sit here?"

Daegal looked up and nodded "Not my table sit were you want"

Gwaine looked at the boy he was about the same age as Merlin and as the other men had suggested he looked like he had the world on his shoulders "You ok Mate? Look bit down, I know the feeling just lost my job got to look for another one now" Gwaine pointed at the empty glass in front of Daegal "Want a refill my mate hasn't turned up and this is spare and misery loves company, The rest of the dudes in here are too damn cheerful"

Daegal looked up in surprise he was seldom offered a drink "That's ok I'm good, got to go soon already had enough"

"Don't be like that I only want a chat, I haven't put anything in it ask the barman" . A pale hand picked it up and the youngster took a drink

"Looking for work you say?"

"Yeh, but nothing too hard. I have spent some time on the building and fancy a change, to knackering. What do you do?"

"I work in a supermarket the moneys shit and hardly covers rent" Daegal moaned

"Any other work about" Gwaine looked around as if to make sure he wasn't overheard "Cash in hand stuff. Only my missus gabs all she can, we broke up and I got to pay her, sod what's left for me to live on"

"Not worth it" came the sad reply "I did some of that and you end up feeling bad." Then young man had clearly had a few and was getting maudlin "Not worth it if you can't sleep nights without getting pissed"

Gwaine grinned "Me I got no conscience mate, can't afford one. So what did you do that was so bad?"

Daegal looked at Gwaine after drinking half of his pint down "I ruined a bloke's life, he was kind and tried to help me and I sold him down to swanny for a few quid"

"What you narked to the cops" Gwaine sounded indignant "Mind you if he was a good bloke they wouldn't want him so I wouldn't worry" Gwaine put his hand on Daegal's shoulder "He probably deserved it and man's got to live"

Daegal leaned closer to Gwaine "He was a sorcerer, they supposed to be evil, that's what they tell us, but I don't think he was, now I wish I hadn't" he paused and Gwaine held his tongue and hoped he had hit pay dirt early "He thought he was helping me and I sold him to the gang" the boys voice was getting slurred as the drink took effect.

Gwaine gently prompted "Them sorcerers are a strange lot who wants um"

"You can get good money for um, I done it before and he was a strong one and I got a bonus, like Jonus" he gave a titter at his rhyme

"Someone pays for them? Who do you contact? I wouldn't mind some of that" Gwaine said "Sounds easy money the foreman who sacked me was one of um, he deserves it"

"No don't do it, it's wrong they're people to, now I can't sleep" Daegal stood up wobbly and went to move away, stumbling as he did so.

Gwaine stood up looking worse for wear as well and grabbed Daegal's arm "Come on mate I'll give you a hand, let's get out of here" Once outside he steered the lad to a café and bought them both a coffee and a roll "Here eat this or you won't get home without falling over, and tell me about his guy, it might make you feel better, after all we don't know each other and probably won't we each other again after tonight. I don't like to see a fellow Irishman upset."

"How do you know I'm Irish?"

"It takes one to know one mate" Gwaine said with a grin. His friendly face and manner relaxed the man enough that he told Gwaine what he had done. Then Gwaine looked at the youngster "Look mate if you feel that bad and want to help why don't you tell the authorities, There is a special group looking into this I heard it on the radio, get it of your chest."

Hope sprang into the lads eyes "I could couldn't I? But would I get into trouble?"

"I wouldn't think so not if you told um everything, I could go with you if you like for support" Gwaine offered not wanting to scare him off. He thought Leon would go for a trade-off for information, especially in light of what they now knew. "Come on I remember the phone number we could ring um now. Lets get your life back for you"
