A question about Tom - BravoNine - 06-11-2010 09:38 AM

Okay, I was thinking of this because I was working on my Spooks fanfic, but does Tom know what happened to his old teammates since he left?

I know that Tom and Christine are married and he has his own private security firm, but does Tom know about the fate of Danny, Zoe, Colin, and everyone he left behind at MI5? Does he know that Lucas returned from his imprisonment in Russia and has now gone psychotic?

I've always been curious, surely old MI5 officers still know something? Malcolm didn't seem surprise not to see Ros on the Grid.....

I don't know if anyone who leaves finds out I mean malcom seems to know what's going on but they do say they will never see them again. I'd hope he did

Series series 3 and 9 Spoiler: show
I'm not sure that we know that Tom and Christine are married. I thought that was just fanfic life. I would guess from the reaction of Harry in meeting Malcolm again, that they had kept in touch which is not so surprising, especially as Malcolm was keeping tabs on the Albany list. I wouldn't be surprised if Tom left and had nothing to do with the Service again.

Well, from what I read is that's what's revealed in Harry's Diary. So I'm assuming that it's correct.

I just thought that surely Tom would want to know if his former teammates are alright or not.

In the spooks book
Spooks the personnel files
It makes reference to Tom marrying Christine and going into business as private security, Harry's comment in the book is that they can give Tess a run for her money

So my assumption is that if Tom did indeed go into the private security business, surely he would still have contacts or connections with the MI5 world, at least enough to know if his team is okay.

That is a cool idea. However, I just rewatched that episode and Tom is not at Danny's funeral.
