The day dawned bright and cloudless in Arlington, Virginia-though the day was crisp and cool. Fall had finally arrived in the D.C. area and the trees were now bright splashes of color, but Amanda Stetson didn't have much time to appreciate it. Neither did her husband of three months, Lee Stetson. An old agency enemy was stirring things up. This was the enemy most had forgotten about, and Amanda had never heard of him. Lee tried to hide his feelings about the case from Amanda, and the rest of the Agency for that matter, but in all truthfulness, he was scared to death. Amanda, however, had noticed the change in her husband's attitude over the last hew weeks and had done some investigation of her own. Now she casually glanced up from her desk and asked, "Lee, did you know that Tinman has a brother?" Lee's coffee went down the wrong way. At last he managed to sputter, "How did you find out about him?" Amanda dodged the question, "Why didn't you tell me?" Lee sighed and sat his personalized coffee mug down on his desk, "It was an 'eye only' file. Billy and I don't have any leads as to what he is planning. If Billy knew we wre married, he would hve probably told you himself." Now it was Amanda's turn to sigh, "I wish he knew!" "So do I, Amanda, but I think it's for the best that he doesn't right now." Lee was secretly glad, for once, that the marriage was secret. He only hoped that Tinman's brother was as in the dark as everyone else. He knew that sooner or later, the brother of Sir Deich would come after him, and he didn't want his wife and new family mixed up in it. He could only hope the man had never seen or heard of Amanda.
