Adam follows Ruth out of Harry's office. "You can calm him down better than anyone else. I don't know why he dislikes MI-6 so much."
"He has some issues with MI-6 from his secondment and he started in the services with the head of MI-6. He's never really gotten along with David. He doesn't always know how to do something to bridge the gap between MI-5 and MI-6. It's a struggle for him. He'd never go back to MI-6 even though he's had the opportunity to go straight to the top there. He's felt betrayed by MI-6 apparently." Ruth sits at her desk and continues to read the file with a highlighter clutched in her hand. "There's much more to this organization then we first thought. Harry needs to see all of this information immediately. We need to get a team out to a couple of locations to see if we can find some of these people. There's all the photos of the people we're looking for." Ruth slips all the pertinent pages into a separate folder to take into Harry's office. "Harry! Look at this! MI-6 had the pictures of everyone in this organization and locations of two of their safe houses."
"Damn it! Get teams out to those locations immediately! Make sure everyone has all the pictures in their possession when they go out to the locations." Harry takes command instantly. "Everyone takes weapons with them. Ruth well done. This was exactly the break we needed."
"All I had to do was some reading. It's what I do all the time. I'm glad it made a difference." Ruth says quietly.
"You always make a difference, Ruth. Adam, you're leading one team and Ros is leading the other team. Get moving." Harry says firmly.
Malcolm, Harry, and Ruth all gather around to watch the operation on the split screen monitor. This part always makes Ruth terribly nervous. Harry stands next to Ruth and puts his hand on her lower back. That simple touch calms her down immediately. Harry always seems to know when Ruth needs that little moment of physical contact. Ruth wants to lean her head on his shoulder, but decides not to. Harry can feel the warmth from Ruth's body seep into his fingertips. Ruth watches as the teams surround the building and then turns her head into Harry's shoulder when they're about to enter the building. This is the scariest part of all for Ruth. She feels Harry run his hand up and down her back. Harry moves his arm up to wrap around Ruth's shoulders and he pulls her into his chest. Malcolm smiles at the new couple. Normally Ruth is buried in Malcolm's arms at this point. She just needs a friendly face to reassure her.
"It's alright, Ruth. They're in. Everyone is safe. The worst part is over." Harry whispers in her ear. He feels Ruth let out a great sigh of relief. Her body relaxes in his arms. When Ruth brings her head up from Harry's chest she looks much more calm.
Ruth watches as the members of MI-5 walk the terrorists out of the two buildings. "Are you going to be interrogating them personally?" Ruth's eyes are wide when she sees how young some of the terrorists are.
"I may talk to the leader of each group, but Adam, Zaf, and Ros will have to handle the others." Harry looks at the number of people coming to MI-5. "The underlings won't the information we need anyway."
"Be careful please," Ruth begs Harry, clutching his arm between her two hands.
"Of course I'll be careful." Harry kisses Ruth's cheek before he heads down to the interrogation rooms.
