Summary
Louisa and River just want to eat some pizza and drink away the week at Slough House. Instead their evening ends with a bomb, a near miss, and a sprint through the city and Louisa’s blood staining River’s hands.
Just another Friday night for the Slow Horses. It’s a good thing they have each other to lean on — and a shame that neither of them are very good at it.
For the Slow Horses Big Bang.
For the "Didn't know they were injured" square of Bad Things Happen Bingo.

Summary
"Super Spy here tried to jump an electric fence and got a bit...zapped."
"Okay, hey," River says, cradling his injured hand closer to his body. "It was more than 'a bit', that fence was definitely not regulation. It wasn't even properly labeled!"'

Summary
Jack had just stepped back onto the main floor when he clocked movement at the ambulance entrance, two guys hurrying in, the smaller one helping a guy with a sweatshirt covered in blood. But something was wrong, some unnamable instinct rising within Jack at the way they moved. It was too fluid, too controlled. Jack knew what the walking wounded looked like, had seen it for years, from war zones to bar fights. This wasn't the injured seeking help; this was men hunting.
Time slowed, Jack's heart rate spiking, the adrenaline dump casting everything in sharp relief—the full ED floor, patients plus shift change meaning twice the usual personnel were here.
Robby was here.
That thought got him moving, Jack approaching laterally. He got there right as the guns came out.
