Lies beneath the truth
Chapter 13th
Francine had finished up her container of coffee and donuts. She wasn't feeling guilty about it at all. Afterwards she went back to her work with the computer checking further into the terrorist group that Billy asked with their last known movements against any country and including the United States.
She had information on the screen showing that a small fraction was located in Munich, Germany even though no violence was done with any type of military installations. She had found this rather strange in her mind and she needed to mention this to Billy. She had gotten up from her chair to head for his door with everyone else busy with their own chores.
Meanwhile Billy Melrose had just gotten off the phone with the President of the United States on another matter for IFF and the F.B.I.. Billy needed to go on home early for a change with his wife Corinne having called as well. There was a knock on his door as he exhaled feeling somewhat frustrated.
Francine walked in with the copy report from the computer terminal. "Sir, I am sorry to disturb you. But I have this report on the same group that Lee is involved with his assignment. It's a small fraction group in Munich, Germany." She hands the report into Billy's hands.
He begins to read the report quickly. "I wonder why Colonel Baker didn't mention this to Lee in the first place? And besides we can't do anything about it now Francine with them on the way over to Tehran. No doubt it will be mention there once they begin to search the military installations." He said with closing his eyes for a moment feeling the strain with his body.
"I guess it must of been an oversight with the Colonel or it might of not been all that important. If you will excuse me sir, I will go finish up the rest of my work. Are you going to be staying late?" She asked with waiting for his answer.
"Not a chance tonight. I am leaving in a few moments to head on home for a change. And besides now the terrorist group will be arrested once they reach once of those installations mention in the classified documents given to them." Billy said with grabbing his hat and coat from the coat rack in his office, while Francine moved out of his way. "Just go home Francine don't bother with the rest of the work. You're going to be needing the rest after the emotional turmoil you're been through."
"Fine sir, I will go home. Maybe we will be able find out anything tomorrow once the plane lands in Tehran, Iran." Francine heads out of his office as with Billy signing out with the log on his desk indicating once the guard needs to find out where the boss had gone to.
Billy walked out heading for the elevator and the underground parking lot. He will use the car phone to call his wife Corinne that he was going to be home for dinner.

Lee Stanton had gotten up from his seat to head on over to the lounge on the second level. There was even a bar for which he walked over to order a drink. The young dark skinned bartender turned to face Lee asking what he would like to drink.
"I will have a Scotch on the rocks. Do you serve food as well?" He asked with looking around the lounge with six ladies chatting in a corner quietly.
"Actually we do Scarecrow." He said softly for no one to hear. Don't worry, I am here to keep an eye out until you land in Tehran. Billy and the President's orders." He said to have Lee really surprised, as the agent work his magic with producing the best Scotch available.
"Thanks for the great drink, if possible I will have a chicken salad sandwich with a salad." Looking around to see if the ladies were still talking and they were a little bit louder now.
"Give me a minute and I will see what I can do in the kitchen Mr. Stanton." The agent responded with moving into another compartment while another employee took over for the time being.
Lee waited sitting down in a chair for his food and sipping his drink. He continued to keep an eye out on the ladies even though they might not pose a problem.
Five minutes later the agent came back with a trayful of food for which Lee asked for with his order. There was the sandwich and his salad with Italian dressing. "Thanks for the wonderful service, no doubt I won't get anything like it while I am visiting Tehran." He made mention to the agent.
"No doubt Lee. Please enjoy your food, if you need anything else I will be working the bar until we land soon with our first layover." He said with someone coming over to order a drink. It was a businessman carrying a small briefcase in his hand and setting it down in front of the lounge bar.
Meanwhile Colonel Baker decided to do the same with climbing the stairs needing to relax with a drink and food. Plus he needed to keep an eye out on his now associate. Walking into the lounge, he noticed Lee right away with his tray of food and a drink in front of him. He was scanning the area with the ladies and a businessman in a sharp black suit with a light blue tie with no designs on it.
He moved over to Lee for a moment before moving over to the bar. "How are you enjoying your food Lee?"
He finished chewing a piece of his sandwich to answer the colonel. "Really good Colonel Baker, as with the wonderful tasting Scotch. I must admit this is the best part of the flight so far." He noted with a sip of his drink, soon he was going to be needing another.
"Let's hope so Lee, I plan on doing the same." He said with slowly walking over to the bar with placing his order with the bartender.
