To ask for a black and tan was tantamount to suicide in this Catholic
establishment, so Terrance Patrick Nolan, or Terry to his mates, took
another deep swallow of his room-temperature pint of half-and-half and
continued to observe the man he’d been sent by MI5 to remove from the
living almost eleven months earlier.
Cigarette smoke hung in the air like a smog of 1950s London. Not that
it bothered Terry; he was adding to the haze in Barry’s Pub with his own
chain smoking.

It still amazed him that his cover as a freelance photojournalist had held
up for as long as it had. For him there were no fancy James Bond gadgets,
no Walther PPK to produce and save the day. Aside from the Browning HiPower carefully taped under the wardrobe in his boarding house room. Hell,

he was even using his real name.
Two years ago, after he was recruited to MI5 from 14 Intelligence
Company (commonly known as The Det in the British Army), the powers
that be had insisted he build a cover based on his real background. Their
reasoning was that not only did he have excellent lineage but it would also
be hard to screw up during idle conversation or, God forbid, interrogation.
The only thing that had been scrubbed from his background was any
mention of him being in the British Army. So he had morphed into Terry
Nolan, a photojournalist who let it be known that he had some sympathy for
the Irish struggle to kick the British out of the six counties of Northern
Ireland.

Raised by Irish Catholic parents on a council estate in south Manchester
barely two miles from Manchester International Airport, Terry had grown
up listening to the old rebel songs from the glory days of the IRA. It came
as no shock when he learned at the age of six that his grandfather had
fought with the IRA in the Easter Rebellion of 1916. What was slightly
confusing was that his father had served with distinction as a senior NCO
pilot in the Royal Air Force during and after World War II. Around the age
of eleven, he’d asked his dad why he still listened to rebel music. His father
had sat him down and given him a history lesson.

He explained that he was
very proud of his father’s fight to free his country and how he’d sided with
the lawful government of Ireland during the Irish Civil War of 1922. Terry’s
father had also expressed his disgust with what the IRA was doing in the
north. At that moment, Terry decided he would become a soldier.

So here he sat, back against the wall in the far corner of the busy pub,
watching Kieran Martin, whose Bristol pub bombing had resulted in the
deaths of thirty-eight people, twenty-four of whom were teenagers returning
home from a school outing. The outrage felt by the rest of the nation had
reverberated throughout the halls of power. There had even been some calls
for the prime minister’s resignation. Of course, that wasn’t in the cards—no
one in Maggie’s Conservative Party had the balls to call for a vote of no
