Reckless Endangerment

Chapter 13th

IFF agent Lee Stetson was feeling better with his leg being attended to. Robert and Francine as with Lee were waiting for their flight to take them to Hawaii and than to Washington, D.C. Dulles International AIRPORT.

Billy Melrose working in his office was thrilled that the three of them were on their way home. Even though it was going to take 24 hours total with all of the flights combined. He had mention this fact to Amanda for when he called her in the hospital. She was crying over the phone when she was given the news...

"Are you sure everything is alright Billy?" she had to asked with her son to be arriving from the nursery to feed with the bottle. Since she wasn't going to be breastfeeding at all.

"Yes, Amanda. I am just worried that Sister Mary Lou Andrews might be caught in the cross fire once the Chinese agents was able to help them deliver the file to the Embassy. I understand the marines from the Embassy will be bringing her to the states to relocate to another convent. I know this is going to be hard for her to just up and leave this way away from her other nuns?" he said with sadness with his tone of voice...

"I just can't wait for Lee and the others to get here. Especially for Lee having missed out on his son's birth. Though he will be able to watch on the close circuit feed." she stated with hearing the knock on the door. "Listen my son is here Billy. I need to go now. Please keep me updated for when Lee arrives into the states as with Sister Mary Lou Andrews."

"I will Amanda. Take care." He ended the call with her...

Sometime later after a brief rest in their quarters on the carrier. Lee was waken with a knock on the door to let him know that the helicopter was arriving within the next 15 minutes. They will be refueling before taking off once again to head for Hawaii to take three hours flight time in the air.

Lee had gotten up on his leg feeling better. The medication that was given to him was working. Needing to dress quickly with combing his hair after throwing some cold water onto his face. He didn't have the time to shave. Maybe when they reach Hawaii he will be able to take a shower and shave along with a more interesting food choices.

Being escorted to the top deck. He was given a helmet as with meeting up with Francine and Robert greeting him. "How's the leg Lee?" Francine needed to ask in regard to her friend.

"Much better thank you. I need to asked you on whether the General of the Embassy was telling the truth with bringing Sister Mary Lou Andrews to the United States and relocate from the convent that she was so used to?" he asked with concern in his demeanor.

"He said that he would Lee. Hopefully we will be able to be reunited with the nun back in the states." Francine said strongly.

"Let's hope so." Robert will say this time with enjoying the view with the helicopter finally arriving on the deck with the carrier's ground crew to bring it in and settle down with the landing and the fueling to begin. While the pilots will be needing a quick break with food, drink and bathroom before going out once again to head for Hawaii...

Sister Mary Lou Andrews sitting in the back of the black truck with eight marines from the Embassy escorting her to the local airport. She wasn't able to say anything to her sisters at the convent providing that the Chinese agents will be finding out. She had packed quickly without anyone seeing her leave with them and to be relocated in the states. It was going to be a new life for her in general.

She was told to keep her head down giving the snipers to take her out. Meanwhile the drivers were taking the quickest route to the airport with a transport plane ready to take her to the states. Not only her but other military officials and including marines will be flying back to the states for their vacation, retirement and other reasons.

Finally after an hour with very little traffic and no trouble. Sister Mary Lou Andrews breathing the fresh air with reaching the transport airfield. She was nervous since she never been on this type of transportation.

Moving out of the black truck with one of the young marines helping her down and as with her belongings. "Thank you." she replied with a tired smile wearing her habit...

Moving quickly into the back of the entrance of the hatchway of the transport. This will give her a chance to try and sleep, along with her prays using her rosaries..

The pilots now ready had given the announcement that the transport was going to be taking off in a few moments. She was getting settled in with the very same young marine to keep her company during the trip...and taking a total of more than 18 hours...

She closed her eyes to feel the power of the plane taking off the runway and into the air heading for Hawaii. Now was the start of a new life for her in general...

Some time later a fax was sent to IFF in regard to Sister Mary Lou Andrews was now on her way to the United States and will be arriving at Dulles International Airport in less than 24 hours.

Once Billy Melrose reads this in the morning. He will be able to relax with the sister, Lee and the other two with Robert and Francine having the option to come back to work for IFF if deciding?

It will be great to have them both back as part of the plan with finding Lee Stetson in Germany. Francine and Robert might decide to come back with hearing the news that she had lost the child she was carrying...
