[anonymous]

When they arrived, half the MI5 and most of the MI6 seemed to be surrounding the estate. Greg slowed down, frowning again, and swore under his breath

Warning for incest in above fill

[anonymous]

Hiya! Just putting a warning for you before it's, you know, sort of customary here. You never know who you might trigger with a theme like incest.

The story is quite moving and I liked your characterization!
