In the years following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Harry devoted his life to a new form of service, far removed from traditional military missions but still vital to global security. Retired from the British Armed Forces, he found a new purpose, dividing his time between security consulting and special operations as a freelance contractor. His vast experience made him one of the most sought-after consultants by government agencies and multinational companies around the world.
2023 had begun with a flood of invitations. The CIA and MI6 continued to call on him for sensitive operations, where his expertise in combat, intelligence and infiltration were irreplaceable. Harry, nicknamed "Ghost," still maintained his reputation as a living legend. Clandestine missions in locations such as the Middle East, Eastern Europe and even counterterrorism operations in Africa were common on his agenda.
During these years, Harry also began to work heavily in the private sector. Multinational companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and large energy conglomerates hired him to conduct risk assessments, develop cybersecurity strategies, and train their security teams for high-pressure situations. Harry's respect in the military and corporate world only grew as his career expanded into areas previously unexplored.
In 2024, one of his most challenging assignments was when Harry helped Interpol dismantle one of Europe's largest human trafficking rings. Using his infiltration and undercover skills, he spent weeks investigating the organization from the inside, posing as a mercenary to gather crucial information. When the time was right, he coordinated the international operation, working alongside European special forces and Europol. The operation was a success, with hundreds of people rescued and dozens of dangerous criminals arrested.
Despite this intense workload, Harry continued to assist local police departments around the world. On one assignment, he consulted for the NYPD, helping to dismantle a terrorist cell that was planning a large-scale attack on the city. He later worked with Scotland Yard in London, solving a high-profile case involving corporate espionage and murder.
Harry didn't limit himself to conventional operations either. He developed a reputation as the "go-to guy" for complex, nearly insoluble problems. When the FBI was faced with a hostage situation involving terrorists and hostages in an extremely volatile situation in Washington, D.C., they knew who to turn to. Harry not only helped negotiate the release of the hostages, but also led the task force that captured the hostage-takers without loss of life.
Throughout this time, Harry remained in touch with Kensi's team and continued to work with NCIS on special cases. He became a mentor to many younger agents, inspiring them with his stories and sharp advice. Despite being frequently involved in missions around the globe, Harry always made sure to maintain a balance in his personal life.
Kensi, now his life partner, supported him in all his adventures, even though she knew the risks. They continued to live in their home in Los Angeles, but they often traveled together. Harry would occasionally take her on lighter missions, where she could observe his work and better understand the man she had become involved with.
Harry knew that this new chapter in his life was still marked by the same dedication to duty that had always guided him. Although the military was behind him, the desire to protect the innocent and ensure global security remained his driving force. He might not be wearing the uniform every day anymore, but his life's mission remained the same to protect and serve, whether on behalf of a government, a corporation, or humanity.
As the years passed, the legend of the "Ghost" only grew. No matter where he was, whether in a meeting in a corporate tower or on a dangerous mission in a remote location, Harry was always ready to take on the next challenge, remaining true to the principles that had guided him since the beginning of his career.
And so Harry continued, a quiet but formidable force, shaping the world and helping to keep it safe in ways most could never comprehend.
