Dirty Dealings

Chapter 18th

Amanda, Lee and Alexi after running from the hotel after knocking out the black hooded man from attacking them. They arrived at the airport with all of the proper papers to be shown. Alexi taking out his papers, along with a credit card to purchase a ticket to go with them to the United States.

"What do you think your doing Alexi?" Amanda inquired with the question. Even though Lee wasn't really paying any attention. He just wanted to get on the plane, while Francine and John were already seated in the middle of the plane being second class and back in her wig and dark glasses.

"I am coming along to make sure all goes well with all of us arriving back in the states. And besides I always wanted to come back and start a new lease on life after being away for a long time." He exclaimed while watching Lee and his nervousness.

This is when Lee would say something. "Why now Alexi?"

Shaking his head with the question. He needed a moment to answer the question. "I just thought it was the right time Lee to reconnect with some of my old friends that I had left behind. Along with a son that needs to know that I am still alive." He didn't mention any names, even though no doubt Lee and Amanda would want to know later at some point.

"Do you think your son would want to have you back into his life Alexi?" Lee asked calmly since his memories of his father for when he was a baby was far and in between.

"I am hoping Lee that my son will reconnect with me. Coming to the States is not going to be easy for me in general. Especially since I know he lives in or around Washington, D.C. I had a private investigation company to check into for me over the years." He announced with taking his papers back from the woman from behind the counter.

"Sir, you're all set with your plane ticket. Best of luck with your flight to to the United States?" She exclaimed with keeping the line moving with the flight to leave in twenty five minutes.

"Thank you." He said in Russian this time.

They started to walk towards the gate of the flight. They didn't bother to sit and rest on a bench. They were allowed to board the plane with a young attendant taking their receipt tickets while heading for the entrance and boarding.

Lee Stetson was having a hard time trying to cope for the moment. Amanda took his hand into hers to lead him towards the entrance with Alexi right behind.

He was worried about his son. No doubt his memories were going to come back in full force. And when it does, he's going to be needing all of his loved ones supporting him...

Amanda let go of his hand to walk inside looking for her seat in second class. She was able to notice Francine and John sitting five rows down from them. If and when she gets a chance while Lee and Alexi are asleep. She will need to speak with Francine for thanking them for watching her back and than some.

Finding their seats with no problem...Lee was tired and closed his eyes..

"Memory Sequence"...

He heard a voice calling him. He was planted squarely under the two blankets after spending the past few days looking for clues. His case along with Amanda into an official working at a local airport was stealing documents. Even though they were close in arresting the man, they needed one more contact before doing so and the case would be closed.

"Come on Lee, you promised me and the boys to have breakfast. They will be arriving from the airport with-in the hour. I don't want them to be disappointed after missing you the last two times." Amanda said with bending down to plant a mini kiss on his cheek.

"Jesus Amanda, I am still exhausted. Can't I sleep a few more minutes sweetie?" Hiding under neath the blankets, Amanda decided to pull them off him and pushing her weight around once more with her husband.

"NOT A CHANCE LEE! The boys missed you the last few times with you away on missions. I promised them this time that they will be able to spend time with you." She exclaimed with her demeanor pushing him further until he was at the edge of the queen size bed.

"Ok, I will get up and shower. I am going to get back at you for doing this to me..." He smirked with moving off the bed in just his birthday suit. Amanda smiled with really wanting to spend time in bed with him. However this time it was another matter for when it comes to her boys both in college studying communications and Social issues.

Lee opened his eyes after the memory ended. As he found his wife heading towards someone five rows down. It had seem she knew the woman sitting in the seat. He was going to asked later. He would try to sleep again with out any further interruptions.

Amanda walked over to where Francine was sitting with John. Talking softly so that Lee and Alexi wouldn't be able to hear her. "Francine, I wanted to thank you so much for watching my back. I had a feeling Billy would do something like this?" She stated.

"I wasn't too pleased with the assignment Amanda. However as it turned out, you were able to handle yourself with help I never expected coming from."

"I know Lee's long lost father. Hopefully the both of them will be able to make up for lost time while Lee is trying to regain his senses with his memory." She said with exhaling while looking over on whether Lee was awake or not. He was fast asleep for a change and without dreams.

"By the way how is Lee doing Amanda?" Francine was concerned in spite the fact she had feelings for him prior to Amanda joining the agency.
