Dirty Dealings

Chapter 27th

Lee Stetson and Amanda to stop off at a local restaurant a few miles from their home. Lee felt like he has been here before. The small restaurant was called The Duckling serving steaks and burgers.

Amanda opened the main door to have her husband walk inside before the young waitress camup to them to escort the both of them to a table in the corner and placing the menu's onto the table for them to check out before ordering.

"Amanda, this may sound weird to you. It seems I remembered having been here before. I don't know when, but it's something that I was able to remember coming here." He smiled at his wife taking a quick look at the menu.

"I am glad Lee in a big way. Maybe the treatment from Doctor Rosen is actually working." She choked on the words with wanting to have her husband back.

The waitress came back over with the writing tool to take their orders. " Are you ready to order?" She asked with scanning the area on whether her other three tables needed anything at all.

"I will go first Miss." Lee said with placing down the menu smiling. " I will have a turkey club, with fries and a large diet coke to drink having to be thirsty."

"I know the feeling sir. I seem to be dry myself with needing a soda pop to drink after I am done with serving your drinks and placing the order into the kitchen." She looked over at Amanda to get her order.

"Jesus, I will have a BLT with plenty of lettuce and tomatoes with a chef salad and french dressing. As for a drink I will have the same type of drink my husband had ordered." She exhaled with having to be somewhat nervous.

"Thank you, I will be right back with your drinks." She walked away to process their orders.

Lee grabbed his wife's hand making Amanda flinch slightly from the touch. "What's wrong Amanda besides the obvious with my memory? Is there something your hiding that needs to be told to me in order to understand your actions?" It has come to this particular time that Amanda needed to tell him the truth about the pregnancy.

"Lee, There is something I need to say. I didn't know at the time of your problem, that you would be able to handle it. However now things have changed."

"Don't worry Amanda, I can handle it. Just let me be the judge at this time." He stated with the waitress coming over with the drinks placing them on the side of them. Your food order will be ready in 15 minutes." She leaves to head back towards the back to finish up her own drink sitting for a few moment.

"Here goes Lee, I know we discussed this a few times while we have been married. Now that I am pregnant, I am hoping that you will be a wonderful father." She exclaimed with her statement about being pregnant and seeing his surprised expression.

"OMG! Amanda, I think it's a wonderful idea with me being a father. In spite the fact this damn memory problem is getting in the way of our happiness. What I need to do right here and now is kiss you in front of everyone. But I won't until we get home with celebrating the news."

"Thank you, Lee for waiting until we arrive." She held his hand when the waitress finally arrived with their food. She was starving as with Lee Stetson. "About the baby Lee, I don't plan to push the issue with you until you're able to understand it. I know this is not easy for you overall to become a father. That's if you want to be one? I won't hold you to it , since the problem with your memory."

"Amanda, you need to shut up and eat your food. I am planning on doing the same." He stated with his usual smile taking hold of his diet soda and sipping a large amount of the liquid down his throat after blowing up at Amanda to shock her a little.

Some time later now home from the restaurant. Lee told Amanda that he needed to take a shower leaving her alone in the living room. She had a feeling something was happening with her husband. She wasn't going to follow him and start something the both of them wasn't able to finish.

Lee removed his clothing from inside the bedroom and throwing them onto the love chair in the corner. He slowly walked into the bathroom taking a look at his appearance before turning on the hot water.

All of a sudden he had a flashback giving him a blinding headache...

Doctor Valimar was getting ready to plunge the syringe into his arm with the truth serum before adding the other drugs.

Stetson tried to break away from the monster. However he had lost the battle against the man and another associate in the Pavillion.

The last thing he remembered before blacking out was feeling the burning sensation of his vein surging with the fluid...

"NO!" Lee said loud with Amanda racing into the bathroom to see him on the floor with his hands covering his head.

"Lee, what's wrong?" Amanda tried to help him up from the floor. However with his size and the pregnancy she wasn't able to without hurting herself and the baby.

"Flashback Amanda, I seem to be remembering much more of what happened to me in Prussia. I also remember of events in my life as well..." He exclaimed to have Amanda starting to cry with joy...

After getting herself together. She needed to call Billy Melrose at IFF or at his home with the late hour. She was now scared that there was a possible chance that all of his memories will be coming full force to have Lee in shock not able to move physically and most of all mentally.
