Jim was really concerned. There wasn't anything about the
whole operation he had been truly happy with, but at least the little guy
running the show had exuded a measure of competence. Now it seemed as if the
person he had been tasked with escorting safely had been abducted from under
his eyes, along with one of the doctors treating him. He still hadn't worked
out what the story was but following the inquest he had just been forced to sit
through he had finally discounted the drugs theory. In fact he couldn't work
out why the man had needed to attend at all. A cold shiver ran through his
spine as he realised that the terrorist story probably had more credibility
than he had been prepared to acknowledge previously. That made the sidearm
pressing into his left lower ribs even more frightening; although he had never
experienced terrorism first hand through his military career he had heard
plenty of tales, anecdotes and briefings to convince him that he may find
himself face to face with some seriously dangerous people in the near future.
He looked at the man named Martin who was speaking
desperately into his phone, he clearly had lost the plot. The other man, the
doctor called Sam was acting irrationally, staring at the group gathered about
twenty feet away. Jim couldn't see any way that they could be part of any
terrorist group he was aware of, one was clearly a bona-fide Civil Servant and
the other had a responsible job at a factory in Manchester. He didn't know
anything about the woman, but she was clearly part of the group. He was aware
of course that she had left with the man he was supposed to protect and must
know something, but both Martin and Sam had insisted they shouldn't approach
her.
Jim really was concerned.
