CHAPTER FOUR

Ros’ asset had not replied to any of her calls or messages and as time went on the team became more and more worried about Lucas and Adam. Malcolm and Tariq flicked between CCTV footage after CCTV footage trying to find an image of Lucas and Adam.
Ros and Jo had already been down to the meet site but all they had found was a trace of blood just inside the doorway of the studio warehouse.

Harry sat in his office head in hands. He was glad no-one else could hear his thoughts as, if he was honest with himself, he was embarrassed by them. He was embarrassed because he hoped both his officers were dead, which although he had previously thought them both to be dead he had never wished it on them.

His reasoning went like this; Adam had just come back after recovering from an explosion that he didn’t fully remember having woken up in a hospital suffering from what he assumed was amnesia, he had also recently been captured and forced to watch as a close friend lost it and begged to die which Harry did not want to happen again which he reflected might. He thought it might happen because Lucas had just spent eight years in a Russian military prison being tortured for god knows how long. Harry didn’t think he could cope being walled up again, but then again Lucas had surprised him with his ease into joining the team right after his return.
‘Harry’, a voice broke into his reverie, ‘Harry you need to come and look at this.’ Ruth was calling him from her desk.

The whole team were gathered around Ruth’s desk watching the news; Harry joined them as the news reader spoke over a picture of police officers cordoning off an area of the Thames riverbank.
‘It seems that body of Michael Anthony was discovered by a Thames tour boat this afternoon. The police still have no idea of the cause of death but....’ The voice became muted as Ros turned off the sound, ‘well now we know what happened to my asset.’

A few choice words and everybody was busy looking for leads that might help them save their colleagues. At the forefront of everyone’s minds was that there were only a few reasons why Lucas and Adam had disappeared; one being because the asset had talked or betrayed them another being they had a traitor within the team or building, neither option was pleasant as it meant someone knew what the team were doing.
‘Harry, can I have a word?’ Ros stood behind him.
‘Yes.’
‘Harry, we’re going to get them back, we’re not losing either of them again.’ She spoke with such conviction that Harry found some of his previous worries dissipating, he knew he could trust Ros to try her utmost to get his team back.
‘You never knew it but when the whole Connie and the bomb fiasco occurred and we headed underground, Lucas got shot yet carried on, he used his blood to draw the FSB away from us and after him, and when we found you’d gone he took a lot of persuading to get it seen to, and Adam, hell Adam’s recovered from amnesia. Harry they’re going to be fine.’
He nodded, ‘If they’re still alive.’
‘There wasn’t enough blood for them to be dead; if there are no bodies then they’re not dead.’ She replied as if it were fact.
Harry couldn’t understand why he was feeling so pessimistic about this; after all his team had gone through they had still come back. But that was perhaps why he had a sense of dread; this could be pushing their luck.

The man sitting at the desk smiled to himself as he pulled of his headphones. MI5 seemed split in their conviction of getting their officers back. Well they’d just have to wait, for now he needed them. All was going to plan.


Thank you for reading
The next few chapters don't really have much Adam or Lucas as I concentrate more on the rest of the team who have been a bit rejected in these last two chapters

Another good chapter, LL. Loved the tension on the Grid for Adam and Lucas. Great to see Malcolm and Tariq working together (if only that could happen on the show). Liked the fact that Ros was the voice of optimism. You have me wondering who the evil mastermind behind the whole nefarious plot is. The only part I wasn't sure about was Harry wishing Adam and Lucas dead because of what might happen to them.
Keep up the good work and I hope you update soon.

Glad you liked it, looking back the whole Harry wishing Adam and Lucas were dead bit does seem a bit far fetched but well what can I say, when inspiration comes...lol

[HellsBells]

Harry wishing they were dead does not seem far fetched to me, he just didn't want them to suffer further.
Another great chapter, who is the mastermind ? Looking forward to the next chapter.
