    ... make their point. Jones was angry he'd been kept in the dark over what the hell they were looking for. Smith, over the fact Jones was making substantive decisions, which could be detrimental to the outcome. They still withheld some information from each other though.
    
    "Listen, he had started to involve his whole Watch in making plans to grab Tanya. I'm not entirely convinced that another spook outfit within this building had thrown his pal Mark in there to hedge their bets. You know the way it work, keep the other crew in the dark. It was Mickey's crew that dug most of this information up. That's why we went for the whole lot of them."
    
    Smith thought about it. When things took too long or didn't go to plan, it wasn't uncommon for another part of the Government to get involved. With what was at stake, Jones may be right.
    
    "What about her pregnancy, how the fuck did that come about?"
    
    "OK, I'll give you that one, I should have spoken to you beforehand. Look, she isn't getting any closer. For fuck's sake, look how far she's gone down the rabbit hole with what Mickey's done to her, as she's trying to succeed. She isn't ever coming back. We both know that. Don't forget, a few weeks back she threatened to walk, I can see cracks in her behaviour and I think, at some point, she'll blow.

    Jones threw a bone to Smith. The Russians had thought they could easily ship weapons into Europe, then to the UK but, they'd been driven by greed, been too eager and lost the shipment en route. They were now shipping smaller consignments into Rotterdam so a single shipment could be made from there. The downside was, it was going to take time.
    
    Plans were being made to ensure that the truck would pass through into the UK seamlessly. When Jones gave the list of weapons that were likely being shipped, Smith was shocked to see the types of equipment. It went way beyond street level stuff, being the kind of kit that a terrorist organisation could only dream of getting hold of. This could make dreams an unsettling reality.
    
    He agreed to tell Smith when and where this delivery would be made so they could swoop in and squash it, possibly even put Mickey in a corner where he would give up this SD card for his freedom. Jones stated it would take a few months before it would all happen as there were some complexities that needed to be solved. But, it would happen. Mickey had already made a substantial downpayment to the Russians. As Jones discussed this, Smith now had the ultimate scenario to run operation 'Doomsday' successfully. He had every angle covered. It was now a waiting game.
    
    After being admitted to the hospital Matt had stayed on the operating table for ...
