except perhaps Eric's. He looked ahead with the same stoicism he had shown throughout. The others showed awe more than anything. James followed their line of sight.
    Ahead stood Westminster Cathedral; a building he'd only seen before on TV. It was beautiful. As were the Houses of Parliament beyond. How many people came here, just like them, hoping to make a difference? How many had succeeded?
    He preferred not to dwell on it. Instead, he pulled out some notes he'd made on the flight over. Blacke's likely talking points and strategy. They had to somehow find someone with enough influence to stop any of this from happening.
    The last thing any of them wanted was for Blacke to trade his precious tracker program for the promise of power here. All they'd worked so hard to achieve would be wiped out if Blacke was successful. They wouldn't be free but just controlled by another master.
    Eric pulled over into a nearby bus stop to let his passengers out.
    "Go on inside. I'll join you once I find a place to park," he said.
    Henry shook his hand and stepped out onto the pavement, Gail opened her door and followed. James, meanwhile, got out from the roadside and joined his comrades once Eric had pulled away, but not before stealing a glance up in the opposite direction. Big Ben towered over them from the other side of the road. This was a very strange place. Very humbling.
    The three of them didn't waste any more time. They had an appointment with a Conservative Member of Parliament. And hopefully that would be just the first step.

    The meeting with the MP had gone well.While Henry had done most of the talking at first, but when the time came to explain Blacke's background, James had taken over.
    And the man himself, Oliver Teese, who had started off visibly reluctant to hear them out, had been won over. He was going to help them and take this up the chain. Not out of the goodness of his heart of course; James was certain he was just trying to gain points with more senior members of his party.
    Clearly, Politics worked much in the same way everywhere, whether inside the Alliance or out of it.
    Either way, the short meeting they'd had had paved the way for bigger, better things. But it wouldn't be until the next day before they had their meeting with the Home Secretary's aides, and then perhaps the woman herself.
    "Good job," Henry said as they made their way towards the Central Lobby of the House of Commons. "We've made some real progress today."
    James nodded. He still could hardly believe that the three of them had just been allowed inside to meet with someone, without much security at all. Sure, they had been searched, and passed through a metal detector on the way in. But considering their special abilities, that was hardly enough. A shifter even without weaponry posed much more of a risk than these humans seemed to realize.
    All it took was one bad apple to ruin it for all of their kind. Surely that wasn't was Blacke was planning; he'd be way too keen to come to a diplomatic arrangement of some sort. But if it didn't work out... Was Blacke crazy enough to initiate an attack if things didn't go his way?
    James wasn't sure.
    And so he remained thoughtful and quiet, keeping his eyes on the floor, while Henry and Eric discussed the meeting in more detail beside him.
    "Something wrong?" Gail, who had been similarly quiet, finally asked him.
    James looked up at her. "Nothing. It's a lot to take in." He did have a nagging feeling that something significant was about to happen though. But it wasn't tangible enough to mention it to anyone, not even Gail - his former colleague from the Alliance HQ.
    She nodded. "If all goes well tomorrow, we'll be well placed against Blacke."
    He had to agree.
    They walked on towards the exit when a figure caught his attention from the corner of his eye.
    "James," a female voice called out to him. "James Finch."
    He instantly froze. He knew this voice from a long time ago.
    James turned around. There she was;
