Having said that do the "Powers That Be" know about Ruth and Harry? If Harry argues that he was saving a top Intelligence Officer who would save hundreds of lives in the future he may get away with it (if he wants to.) Most of the people who know about Harry and Ruth are dead and I don't think that those that aren't, Malcolm, Beth, Dimitri, Tariq, Alec would say anything. Can't remember what happened to Juliet after the bombing? Also Ruth went behind Harry's back to the HS so the HS may not know.

Surely MI5 needs Harry when there is the Royal Wedding and the Olympics coming up in London !

You would think the "knee jerk" reaction would be to move Ruth to another department but that would not solve the problem of Harry being compromised, where she is concerned. Ruth will always be Harry's achilles heel wherever she works and wherever she is in the world. Look how someone got to her when she was "hidden" away in Cyprus. There is nothing that can be done about this. This situation will always be, so long as both Harry and Ruth are alive.

I think Harry's best hope of survival in the Service is that HIS team fights for him and supports him. This could mean playing dirty but I am sure they would do this for Harry. With Ruth on your side, she could dig up anything on anyone, no matter how hidden. So that the people deciding Harry's fate, would have no choice but to let him be, and to let him carry on helping with the Royal Wedding and Olympics
