Part 12
Lee entered his apartment: Dorothy?! Dorothy?!
Dorothy: Lee? (Dorothy entered the living room.)
Lee grabbed her shoulders: Dorothy, you have to tell me! What happened to you, how come you aren't dead?
Dorothy: You really want to know?
Billy walked into the room: Dorothy, anything in your story might help us find Amanda.
Dorothy: Oh.
Lee: Please tell me!
Dorothy sat down on the couch: Well ten years ago, the morning of our mission, Serdeych kidnapped me and had a girl who looked like me go out into the field. She was a bad guy. I though, maybe trade me in for information or something like that.
Lee: Did he ever hurt you?
Dorothy: (She felt special that he worried about her.) Surprisingly no.
Lee: Do you know why he kidnapped you?
Dorothy: For two reasons. First of all, Serdeych was a bad guy from the beginning and I found out about it. So he kidnapped me so that I wouldn't ruin his plan.
Lee: And the second?
Dorothy: He was mad at you and wanted you to suffer. He knew that we were... are in love and he just really wanted to see you suffer.
Lee: (To himself.) And now he has Amanda and wants to see me suffer again until I spill out some information.
Billy: Do you know where you were?
Dorothy: Yeah, he kept me in a warehouse far far away from here.
Lee: You mean the one in the middle of nowhere about 70 miles from here?
Dorothy: That's the one.
Lee: Let's go. Billy get a squad and an ambulance down there, you never know what he could have done to her. (He stood up Dorothy was following him. Billy was right behind them.)
Lee and Dorothy got into the 'vette' while Billy got into his car and got on the CB. Billy followed Lee as he called the squad and the hospital.
Lee was driving so fast that Dorothy was holding onto the door handle with all her strength. She has never seen Lee like this before and she was too afraid to say anything.
About a half an hour later (Lee got there in record time.) the reached the warehouse.
Lee and Dorothy got out.
Dorothy: How are we going to get in?
Lee: (Taking out his gun and getting prepared.) Right through the front door.
Lee walked to the front door kicked the door in and started looking through each room.
Part 13
Serdeych: Well Amanda, it looks like Lee is here. Now I am going to hide out in the shadows and wait for him to find you.
Amanda was so weak she couldn't stay conscience much longer.
Amanda: What... is he... doing...
Serdeych: He came to get you.
Amanda: No... (She fell unconscious.)
It only took Lee a matter of minutes before he found Amanda.
Lee opened the door and saw her lying on the ground motionless and his heart stopped beating. He ran to her and held her in his arms.
Lee: Amanda. Amanda!
Amanda stirred a little and then in a low whisper: Lee... has to be dream... you wouldn't be here...
Lee: Of course I am really here.
Amanda: Only in my... dreams... you said. (And she passed out.)
Lee: Amanda! (And he quickly found a heartbeat and just held her.)
The next thing that he knew was that he heard a gun being cocked.
Serdeych: Put her down slowly.
Lee wouldn't let go of Amanda.
Serdeych: Now Scarecrow, or your both gone. (Lee slowly put her down.) Good now stand up, and kick your gun over here. (Lee did so.) Now where's Dorothy?
Lee: (This is the first time that he noticed that she wasn't there.) I don't know.
Serdeych: Just like your partner. Same answer all the time. Now, (He pointed the gun at him.) where is Dorothy?
Dorothy: Right behind you. (Before he could turn around she hit him over the head with the butt of her gun.)
Lee: Nice work.
Dorothy: What partner?
Lee ignored her, picked Amanda up and carried her outside. The paramedics where already there and they helped Lee put Amanda onto the stretcher.
A paramedic: Would you like to go with her?
Lee: Yes, I would.
Lee forgot all about Dorothy until...
Dorothy: Lee! Lee!!
Lee finally remembered her.
Lee: Here take my keys and follow us to the hospital.
Dorothy: Okay.
Dorothy first told the squad where Serdeych was and then she ran into the 'vette' and drove after the ambulance.
In the ambulance...
Paramedic: Mr. Stetson, she is stable, but she is highly over dosed.
Lee: Thank you for your help. (The paramedic left and sat in the passenger seat.) Amanda, you are going to okay. I'm here. (He leaned over and kissed her forehead.)
Amanda's eyes slowly opened up. Lee looked at her and before he could say a word.
Amanda: Dream... (And she fell back unconscious.)
Lee just sat there with her hand in his: You are going to be okay.
They soon reached the hospital. Lee got out and ran along the stretcher.
Paramedic: Mr. Stetson, you are going to have to wait here. (Lee didn't answer.) Mr. Stetson, please you can't go in there.
Lee: Yeah. (Lee stayed behind while the paramedics took Amanda through the double doors.)
Soon Dorothy came in: Lee, Lee!
Lee: She's in there.
Dorothy: Are you okay? (A little confused. She didn't understand why he was so worried over someone who has been working with him for only three days. She let it pass over her.) Come on let's go and get some coffee.
Lee: No, I am just going to wait right here. (And he sat in the couch next to the wall.)
Dorothy: I am going to get some coffee. Do you want me to bring some back for you?
Lee: (Thinking "No one can make it like Amanda does, but coffee might help me.") Yeah, two sugars, and a little milk.
Dorothy: Okay, I'll be right back.
Lee smiled at the memory when he snuck into Amanda's that one morning to ask her for her help on one of the cases that involved Emily. He was searching her house for some half and half and she told him to try milk, it's better for him, and that's when he got hooked on it.
Lee just sat there thinking about what he was going to do when she got out of here. He decided that it was time to tell her how he felt. What would he do if he never got the chance to tell her that he loved her? He didn't want that.
After what felt like minutes later Billy came in and spied Lee sitting on the couch looking like he was a million miles away.
Billy: Lee? (Lee didn't move.) Lee?! (Still nothing.) LEE!!!!
Lee: What?
Billy: (Sat down next to him.) How are you doing?
Lee: Not good at all.
Billy: Lee, don't worry, she'll be all right.
Lee: It's my fault.
Billy: Lee, no it's not. For once it is not your fault.
Lee: Maybe we should have told her about project XYZ.
Billy: First of all, do you think that she would of told him? Second of all when he drugged her with all of those drugs, what would make you think that he wouldn't kill her?
Lee: You're right, but it's still my fault.
Billy: No matter what you think, no matter what was going on, even if you did have a relationship going on, (Lee's face grew guilty.) nothing would of stopped Dorothy from showing up and doing what she did. Amanda would of still walked out.
Before Lee could say a word the doctor came out.
Doctor: Mr. Melrose?
Billy: Yes?
Doc: Mrs. King would like to talk to you.
Lee: What about me?
Doc: And you are?
Lee: Lee Stetson.
Doc: I am sorry. She said nothing about you.
Billy: Let me go talk to her. (He leaves)
Lee ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. Dorothy appears and gives him a cup. They sit down, Lee places his cup on the floor and puts his elbows on his knees and puts his face in his hands
Lee: (talking to himself more, then to Dorothy) I can't believe that she doesn't want to see me. This has to be the first time that she didn't. What have I done?
Dorothy: (rubbing her hand on his back) Lee, Mrs. King will be fine. You know, for a woman you just met, you sure are overly protective of her.
Lee: (sitting up) Dorothy, Amanda and I have been working together for the past three years.
Dorothy: What?!
Lee: She lied, we've been partners, working together, solving cases. She's the one who helped me put Serdeych away.
Dorothy: So she's your partner.
Lee: Yeah.
Dorothy: So I guess that means that we aren't going to be partners.
Lee: I'm sorry, no.
Dorothy: Well, at least we have each other, (hugs him) now and forever. (Lee never returned the hug, when she felt this she knew that something wasn't right) I'm guessing that she took my place there too.
Lee: Dorothy, I'm sorry. I... I love her. (Dorothy looked away) But I still want us to be friends. You still hold a very important part of my life, my past, and you will always be there.
Dorothy: I just wished you told me earlier so I wouldn't have done what I did.
Lee: It's okay.
Dorothy: Does she know how you feel?
Lee: No, not yet, and I am afraid that I'm losing her.
Dorothy: (gives him a kiss on the cheek) Well, you go tell her and don't you let go. (She stands up) I'm going back to the Agency; I'll take care of the paperwork on this case.
Lee: Thanks. (Dorothy leaves)
Part 14
Meanwhile....
Billy enters the room and walks over to her bed.
Billy: Amanda, how are you doing?
Amanda: I've been better.
Billy: You wanted to see me?
Amanda: Yes, I know that this is neither the place nor the time, but I have to tell you before I change my mind. (She pauses) I want a transfer.
Billy: What?!
