Here we go pure fluff to end.

Epilogue

"What's going on Harry?"

"It's our anniversary."

"Is it?"

'Well thanks for remembering, Ruth."

"Sorry, but what anniversary?"

"It's our one month anniversary since you came to mine and had Chinese and, well,….you know….you stayed."

"Ah," she says and smiles at the memory and his still endearing sheepishness.

"So, as I said, what's going on?" she asks again as he gathers her things from her desk.

"We are going out to dinner, but first a drink or two in the George, with the team."

"What? You told the team it was the anniversary of us first sleeping together?"

"No, of course not. They heard me making reservations, I said it was a bit of a celebration and they insisted they were involved, so not wanting them to cramp my seductive charms over dinner, we compromised on the George."

"Okay," said Ruth. She is quite content.

"I did tell them one other thing though, that you might not be too happy about."

"What?"

"Something and nothing."

"What's happened to your tact, Harry?"

"It disappeared when you tried seducing me in that cell."

"I didn't try seducing you."

"Oh, no of course you were seducing Jim."

She hits him playfully but hard.

"Actually, it has a little something to do with that. The thing that you won't like."

"What, you told them about that?"

"Not as such."

"Oh, Harry," she says as he pushes her out of the pod doors.

Several drinks and at least two bottles of champagne later, Dimitri cheekily suggests that it is time for the game.

"What game?" asks Ruth warily.

"Well, Harry suggested that you had difficulties distinguishing him in the dark."

Ruth looks at Harry.

Harry looks sheepish once more.

"So, we have a test for you."

She sighs.

Beth steps forward grinning, "Don't be mad at Harry, it was our idea."

"Oh no," says Ruth.

"It's like a blind date," says Tariq.

"Oh, bloody hell," replies Ruth.

"You have to wear this," adds Beth and suddenly she is moving behind Ruth and tying a blindfold around her eyes.

"Is this really necessary?"

Finally Harry speaks, "It gives you a chance to prove yourself to me Ruth."

"To prove what?"

"To prove you know who I really am, just in case we ever get locked up together again. I'd hate you to be mistaken." She can't see him anymore but she hears his smile and she herself is smiling now.

"Fine, as they say, bring it on."

The others laugh and now that she can no longer see them they all change position and Beth produces a large bag from which they all grab suit jackets, all bar Beth, who is excluded from the game and Harry who is already wearing one.

Then there comes a bottle of aftershave, Harry's usual and Tariq passes it to Alec and on to Dimitri. Now they all smell the same and are dressed the same.

"Okay Ruth. Are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be."

"Obviously nobody can speak and Ruth you can't move. Each one of our possible Harrys will stand in front of you and they will put your hand on their chest, you can't move your hand just let it rest and then they'll remove it. "

"What, is that all I have to go on?"

"Yep," says Dimitri and then waves over the landlord who is the same build as Harry. He is their ringer and he too is handed a jacket and aftershave.

"Number one, step forward," announces Beth.

Tariq steps up to Ruth and when he is still he inhales deeply and puffs out his chest, he lifts her hand, between only finger and thumb and places it on the right side of his chest over his jacket pocket. They stand for about ten seconds and Beth nods at him. He moves Ruth's hand away and turns from her.

"Number two" and Alec steps forward and exactly the same thing occurs. He moves away.

"Funny how you all smell the same" says Ruth.

Beth ignores her, "Number three," this time it is Dimitri.

"Number Four," now it is Harry. He does everything the same as the others and they are all watchful he does not cheat.

"Number Five"

"Five!" says Ruth wandering where the extra one has come from.

And the landlord moves forward.

Finally it is over. They all swap places once more and all the jackets are removed. The landlord disappears.

Ruth is unblindfolded.

"Okay, then Ruth which one was Harry?" asks Beth.

"More to the point," says Ruth, "who was the fifth?"

"Jim" says Harry and smiles.

The others are confused, the landlord's name is Bob.

Ruth smiles and considers.

They wait.

Ruth slowly starts to cross to Harry. Her hand moves to rest upon his chest and her finger taps out a familiar rhythm to the two of them. It says 'I'll always know u,'

"He was Number Four" she says out loud.

Harry smiles.

"How did you know?" asks Alec.

"I told you, you should have bent your knees," Beth complains to Dimitri, "you're too tall."

"I did."

"Did I feel skinny?" says Tariq.

"Anyway who is this Jim?" asks Alec

"Oh, just a man I got to know, when I didn't know any better," answers Ruth.

"My kind of man," says Harry.

And they look at each other and she knows that wherever Harry goes she no longer even needs to touch him to know who he is. She would know him anywhere.
