Lies beneath the truth

Chapter 12th

Billy parked his car in the underground parking lot of the Comfort Inn hotel in order to see Lee Stetson with giving him the latest classified material for the terrorist group. Checking around for anyone that would be watching his movements. After a moment he headed into the elevator taking it to the seventh floor.

There were a few of the Comfort Inn customers roaming around even though they didn't pay any attention to him. He knocked on Lee's door with his agent and friend. "Billy come on inside please!" Lee said with a drink in his hand. "Would you care for a good stiff drink Billy?" Lee waited for his response in regard to the drink.

"I will have one Lee. You know what I like best." Billy stated with moving to the couch to sit and watch Lee head for the small bar in the corner of the living room. While placing the envelope down on the seat of the couch.

"Here you go sir. " Lee replied with taking a sip of his own Scotch and placing it onto the marble coffee table for a moment before taking a sip and the envelope. "What did the general have to say on the subject in your office?"

Billy shifted to face the agent while he began to read the file and info on the pages. "He wasn't too happy about the entire operation. Otherwise his people overseas will be ready for when it's going to be the right time to arrest them. Even though he just hopes that there won't be any bloodshed." Billy said with sipping his Whiskey slowly.

"Well! I am hoping as well since it's going to be my ass flying over with them to Tehran, Iran and being shown the classified military targets." Lee said calmly in spite his fears deep inside.

"Very true Lee. Don't worry there is going to be a number of people in the military watching your back. They will need to arrest the top officers in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps before any of the targets are destroyed." Billy stated with caution in his tone and demeanor.

Finishing up his drink to finish reading the file. After a few moments he placed it back into the envelope. "Billy, you want another drink before going back to IFF?" Lee asked...

"No thanks. I need to go Lee. Good luck with the rest of the operation. I won't be able to come to the airport before you and your group leaves on your flight." Billy moves up from the couch to head for the door with a great deal of fear within himself. "Take care Lee and good luck. I will inform Amanda even though I have a feeling that she had been here earlier against my orders.

Lee smiled was his answer...

A day and a half later...

Lee, Colonel Baker, Anson and the others were boarding there flight for overseas. It was going to be a long flight with two stops with the plane to refuel and security checks.

Colonel Baker sitting next to Lee Stanton asked him on whether he was all right. " Just fine Colonel. I will try to get some sleep even though the stewardess will be around with drinks and food. And if this is the case I will try to be a willing customer."

Colonel Baker placed a slight smile on his face getting further comfortable in his seat. Since the announcement was made by the pilot they would be taking off with-in the next five minutes. Lee pulled on his seatbelt further to wait for the plane to began rolling down the runway with permission from the tower.

Once the plane was into the air. Lee was able to feel better with a deep breath to relax his muscles in his entire body. Afterwards the young stewardess came around with drinks and sandwiches to start until later with further items for dinner. "Thanks, I will have a Scotch along with the chicken sandwich." Lee says with Colonel Baker opting for just a salad and a drink.

Everyone else in the group just went for the drinks since they won't be landing for at least eight hours with the first layover...

And in the meantime Francine was back to her normal schedule at IFF since all of the terrorists members and including Anson was on the flight to Tehran, Iran. Amanda walked in to see if Francine needed anything at her desk.

Amanda was walking slowly with the pregnancy, since she had grown in leaps and bounds the past month and the doctor was going to put her down with staying off her feet due to the swelling in her feet and legs.

She was carrying coffee and donuts on a tray that was meant for Francine. Francine turned her head from the computer to see Amanda. "What's going on Amanda?" She stated in a calm rational demeanor.

"This tray is for you, Francine. I just needed to know on whether you're going to be alright." She said with placing the tray onto her desk.

"Thanks, I need it Amanda. I seem to have gotten too emotional involved for when it comes to Anson, just as you did with Lee in the beginning." She grabs the container of coffee to take a swig of the hot drink.

"I know Francine this isn't easy for you. If anything Lee and the military will be sure not to hurt Anson once they arrest them with the goods. It's all I can say on the matter. Have your coffee and donuts, I need to get back to the office to finish up with the paperwork."

Amanda walks away to leave Francine to her usual devices with the coffee and sweets. Francine picked up the cream donut and placing it into her mouth without bothering to see on whether anyone was watching her. She really didn't care at this particular moment...
