I don't own these characters I just like to play with their world a little.

This story is the first chapter in a story of Jamie as an agent and as he learns first-hand what Amanda went through all those years of keeping her job and what she does a secret from her family; but can he do as good as a job as his mother with the secret he has to keep.

Secretes of an Agent

Jamie sat in the hotel room that he had been retired to for the last three weeks and was about to go stir crazy. Denver was not what he was expecting when the Field Agent Section Chief said that he was going to send him on a light surveillance job in Denver. Jamie and the senior agent he was assigned to work with had severe personality differences. This guy may have been around longer but Jamie was wondering if he was ready for retirement.

"Hey, I'm going to get something to eat; do you want me to bring you back anything?" Jamie asked.

"Where are you going? You really should just order in."

"If I stay in this room alone with you for another minute I will pull my service revolver out and shoot you myself. This room is equipped with a shower how about while I am gone you figure out how it is used." Jamie slammed the door and his partner picked up the phone and when the other party answered, "Okay, Mrs. Stetson, you win, he really is like his step father; he just threaten me with personally shooting me and to think it only took three weeks. He may have Lee's temper but he has your patience."

"Thanks, Fred, I'll make a note in the file; just make sure you let him know that the case will be wrapped up by tomorrow. I wouldn't want him to miss his test on surveillance."

"Sure thing Amanda; I will let him know." Fred Fielder hung up the phone and then decided to take Jamie up on his suggestion and jumped on in the shower.

Jamie exited the hotel and wasn't even paying attention to where he was walking. He smelled and heard a street fair close by and he followed the noise. He made a few more turns and he was in the middle of the fair. He let his stomach guide him to the closest vendor and he ordered and steak sandwich and fries and a beer and went to find a seat as a jazz band started to play.

He found a spot on the end of a table and sat and listened to the music. He wasn't stupid he knew this was just a training exercise; what he didn't know was why it had to be in Denver and with Fred Fielder. He saw his Dad's eyes widen when he said he was going to be sent out on an assignment in Denver with him. Lee about choked on his wine when Amanda told him.

Jamie was watching as a little boy about the age of three or four came by but he noticed that there was no adult with him and he was starting to cry. Jamie went over and asked, "Hey, buddy, where is your Mommy and Daddy?"

The little boy looked at him and tears continued to fall and Jamie picked him up and began to look for an officer. He was walking toward the security table when he heard the panic cry of a woman and man in unison, "Joey; where are you? Joey?"

Jamie turned toward the voices and froze as he turned and came face to face with two faces he hadn't seen in seven years. The blood drained from his face as the boy in his arms reached out and said, "Daddy!"

"Jamie?" The man said as he reached and took his small son from the arms of Jamie.

"Dad; Carrie?"
