Lawson looked at Ward and frowned.

“Walker?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t understand?”

“I knew when we were back in London when we first visited them there had to be someone from UKBC news involved,” Ward said.

“Really? I mean Walker, how?” Lawson asked again.

“How what?”

“How did you know so soon that he was involved?”

“Ergonomics,” he replied.

Lawson looked confused.

“It’s all a question of the position that you take,” he added.

“I’m totally lost now. I mean why anyone from the network would want to kill people doesn’t make sense, for what gain?” Lawson asked with a frown.

“I think the best way to get the answer to that is to ask Walker,” he replied.

“I will. He was using Beglin all along? I’ll beat it out of him,” Lawson said aggressively.

“You won’t be there.”

“What? Why?”

“Because I need you to do something more important.”

“What could be more important than that?” Lawson enquired.

“I need you to get back to Nicole-Louise’s and Tacklers and help them to dig out everything you can on Walker.”

“Seriously, is this for real?”

“Which part?”

“There is a known FFW bomber on the loose who has a vendetta against the West and you think the person behind it is a news editor? It seems completely far-fetched,” Lawson said, almost dismissively, “I suppose Dr Death will appear and confess to being the leader of a worldwide criminal gang next?” he asked sarcastically.

Ward ignored his contempt.

“All you need to do is to go back to Park Avenue, work with them to find a financial link between Walker and Fulken, and then ask Beglin exactly how she was told to report on the Louvre bombing by her editor and producer.”

Lawson nodded and then shrugged. Clearly feeling disappointed.

“Once you have that, can you let me know?”

“Yes I will but you are barking completely up the wrong tree here, I’m sure of it.”

“Why is that?” Ward asked.

“Because Walker is not behind this, I know it,” Lawson replied as he turned to leave.

I know it too, Ward thought to himself but he will lead us to the person who is.

With Lawson gone, McDermott looked at Ward,

“Why have you told him we are going to kill this Walker guy?” he asked.

“Because I want him to look at this with urgency,” Ward replied, “Lawson is one of the best operatives either side of the Atlantic but he works better under pressure. If he thinks he has a point to prove and that I am wrong, he will prove it. I just need him to prove it quickly.”

“So, we take this guy and just get one piece of information out of him and then let him go?” McDermott asked, “Isn’t that risky?”

“It’s meant to be,” he replied, “If he reacts how I think he will react, then he will lead us to the real people we are chasing, and they lead us to Fulken.”

“OK. You said in the briefing you sent me that this guy has a bodyguard?”

“What about him?”

“Do we take him out?”

“Try not to. Maybe just set Wired loose on him for a few seconds.”

Wired turned around and Ward saw his eyes genuinely light up in anticipation.
