Part One
Friday, January 1, 1988 2:30 P.M.
In a house across from 4247
Maplewood Drive, a man looked out of a window through a pair of binoculars. The
phone rang, and he quickly went to it to answer. "How do you expect me to
find dirt on Lee Stetson if you keep calling every ten minutes?" he
growled into the receiver.
"Look here, you imbecile,"
the female voice on the other end yelled. "We need dirt on Stetson before he is assigned to 'Operation Beat
It.'"
"What makes you think Stetson
will be assigned to 'Operation Beat It?'"
"Lee Stetson and his partner,
Amanda King, are the best agent team the Agency has. It only makes sense that
the best would be assigned to 'Beat It.'"
"Speaking of Stetson and his
partner, there's something you might want to investigate further. I think that
they're involved."
"Mathers, what do you mean by
involved?"
"Personally involved. Right
now, it looks like he's spending New Year's Day with her family. Most of the
time, when I follow Stetson, I'm following her, too. I believe that they're
emotionally involved."
"This is something we can use,
yes?"
"Yes."
"How sure are you?" she
snarled.
"I'm getting tired of you
underestimating my abilities. I've been observing people for over fifteen years
now. Dig around. Find something we can use."
"You better be right," she
told him.
"I'm always right." The
man hung up and went back to the window to continue his vigil on the house
across the street.
