Chapter 36th Scarecrow's Last Mission
"Look Lee. This is not going to be easy for me after the past two years. At least my anger is no that heavy to scorn me with my physically and mental well being."
"And for that I' am truly sorry for where I was totally not ready for a real relationship with you. I was just too scared Amanda." He says with taking hold of her hand. Even though she didn't bother to pull back. What she really wanted to do was kiss him rather hard on his lips, cheek and neck.
"I certainly can understand now Lee. I was just hurting too much myself having gotten too deep with you and the spy business. I left one to join another that is full of two-face crooks willing to do anything to make a buck."
"I know Amanda. And it's why the entire Nuclear Weapons Defense Grid is in danger of being destroyed." He says very softly to Amanda sitting across from him.
"What are we going to do about it Scarecrow?" She used his code name as if they were together again as a couple.
"Not you. Me! Your going to stay out of it with the protection of the agency and Billy Melrose. He knows exactly what is going on Amanda. He will do anything to protect this country and others."
"I will call Billy when I have the chance. But in the meantime. There is just too many agents involved in this scheme. Who are the real people trying to stop this mess?" She asked in all seriousness with her question.
"Don't know Amanda. There is a great deal of work that needs to be done with finding out at this point. Along with figuring out about us."
"What about us?" She says calmly. She needed to say something without having to fall to pieces with her emotions.
"I want to tell you, Amanda. I love you very much. It's not been easy for me to be away from you. Your probably don't believe me when I say that I love you. I want to have a life with you in any aspect you see fit."
Amanda needed to drink her water in order to calm herself. Her stomach was upset after listening to Lee Stetson.
"Lee, I believe you in every word your said. I just need the time to figure out everything. Including my own boys. They have not been themselves of late."
"I know your boys Amanda. They are behind this entire stunt that I pulled to get them up here with a friend of mine."
"I should of known something was going on with those two. Where are they Lee?" She asked.
"I can't right now. With the way the situation is at the moment. They need to be protected Amanda. I hope your able to understand my reasoning?"
"I do understand. Can we get out of here Lee and go to your apartment to continue on talking?" She asked with taking hold of his hand.
"Of course we can Amanda. But don't you want anything to eat?"
"Not here. I can always make something special at your apartment. Unless your cabinets are bare?"
"Not this time Amanda. You can make anything to your hearts desire. Let me call the waitress to get the bill and leave."
"Good idea Lee." She starts to chuckle with getting up from her seat. "Let me go to the ladies room to clean up."
"Sure." He says with seeing the waitress walk over with a question.
