GAIL had been managing the satellite coverage over Virginia however; her systems were constantly scanning other sources of Intel when one of them alerted her.

She quickly linked into it and then phoned Vince whom was in the rest area, Vince picked the phone and GAIL said, “Vince remember the IRA man whom escaped the US Marshall and is suspected of the Oxford street bombing?”

Vince replied, “Yes, the Police are searching for him, have they got him?”

GAIL replied, “no but I have located him!”

Vince said, “I am on my way to you,” he hung the phone up and made his way to the Intel room.

Vince entered the Intel room and always had a sense of pride, as he looked at his creation, “so what have you got GAIL?”

The large Plasma screen came to life with the image of a man carrying a holdall style bag, GAIL said, “This is Patrick O’Rourke the man the Police are looking for Vince.”

“Where is the image from GAIL?”

“On the platform of Kilburn tube station,” the image quickly changed to moving footage as Vince looked at the screen a train arrived at the station and O’Rourke boarded it.

“That was fifteen thirty-nine on the southbound tube Vince.”

Vince looked at his watch, sixteen zero three hours and said, “Do you know where he is now GAIL?”

GAIL replied, “One moment Vince, unfortunately not all the stations have CCTV.”

Her remarkably systems took eleven seconds scanning all the available London underground CCTV footage before another image appeared showing O’Rourke walking along a platform.

“This is the Embankment underground station Vince one minute ago, wait one whilst my systems check for anymore footage.”

The image faded and the screen came alive with real time moving footage of O’Rourke, Gail said, “This image is from a CCTV system on a building just outside the station showing him now on the Embankment walking in the direction towards Westminster Bridge.”

Vince’s high IQ quickly surmised where O’Rourke was probably heading and he uttered “the Houses of Parliament. GAIL contact MP, give them an update, I will advise Major Strayker.”
