I'd recognise him, sir. Without a doubt. Never forget

those eyes.

A face comes on the screen. Georgie stands to get a closer look. The others all look at Georgie. It

looks like Abu but western, clean shaven, about 18, his 'leavers' photo from school. Quite quite

different.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Stop

JAMES:

Is it him?

GEORGIE:

Obviously he looked... different... he, he had a beard.

MAJOR HARE:

Are you sure?

GEORGIE:

Yeah. Yeah it's him, sir.

This excites everyone. Major Hare typing furiously into his keyboard.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Who is he?

MAJOR HARE:

(reading)

Jason Raynott. Born, North London. University of

Manchester...

Georgie nods furiously.

MAJOR HARE (CONT'D)

Converted to Islam as an undergraduate. Last known

whereabouts... flew from Heathrow to Ethiopia on a

tourist visa on 14/4/2016... no trace since.

There is a lot of satisfied exchanged looks between them all.

JAMES:

We're getting somewhere, Lane.

Georgie stares at the erstwhile image of Abu, transfixed.

Georgie is trying to get a Skype connection. She is ringing Cole. Eventually she gets through and

sees an excited, beaming Cole on her screen.

GEORGIE:

Got you!

COLE:

At last!

GEORGIE:

Oh the connections so bad here....

COLE:

No, no I can see you! Fantastic. Are you okay?

GEORGIE:

Yeah… yeah, you know me.

COLE:

You had a full check at the hospital?

GEORGIE:

Yes everything’s fine.

COLE:

Levels 14tabilized now?

GEORGIE:

Hum, honestly, I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m as normal as I’ve

ever been.

COLE:

Your text from the hospital said they were taking bloods?

GEORGIE:

Yeah well, that was just you know, a precaution cos of

the dehydration.

COLE:

Did they put you on a saline drip?

GEORGIE:

Yes as soon as I got to the hospital.

COLE:

Any headaches since?

GEORGIE:

No. I’m fine.

COLE:

Look get them to send me your blood results so I can

err, get them to the hospital here for when you get

home?

GEORGIE:

Right stop fussing! I’m fine! Right tell me, tell me you

know, how is everyone? Tell me how you are?

COLE:

We’ve been in panic stations... but I can see you so it

makes me feel a whole lot better.

GEORGIE:

Yeah I’m so looking forward to getting home now.

COLE:

I bet! You look tired.

GEORGIE:

Thanks!

COLE:

(Beat)

I heard about your, your fellow hostage.

Georgie nods.

COLE (CONT’D)

I hope you didn’t have to see any of that.

Georgie gives a little shake of the head.

COLE (CONT’D)

Blasphemy:
10:12:09 Thank God they got you out. Those boys who rescued

you they, they know what they're doing, eh?
