The rest of the day was a blur of activity. There was a meeting with a Billy, and a new assignment for Lee and Amanda. It seems that the Russians were testing a new form of computer terrorism, so the rest of the day was spent in the Q Bureau with Amanda, not that Lee was complaining, working on background information, trying to set up a meet with his contact in the Russian embassy, and trying not to let the cat out of the bag about his secret.

Several times Amanda looked up at him, with the same You're up to something look on her face that had been there when they left for work that morning. Around lunch time she had tried to use her interrogation skills' to coax the information out of him, and although it took all of Lee's will power to resist his wife's advances, he was able, just barely, to break away.

Finally, at 5:30 they decided to call it a day. They walked hand in hand out of the Q Bureau, and down to the parking garage. Lee's mind was racing. He had to get back inside, and get those tapes, but how? Come on Stetson, think,' he demanded of himself. Think!'

he finally said, with an exasperated air in his voice. You go on, I'll be right behind you, I forgot the file I needed to look over tonight.

Amanda turned around, equally exasperated. Now, you just stop right there, What's going on? You didn't want me with you this morning, and now you're trying to get rid of me, again.

Amanda, you're paranoid. I just forgot the file, that's all. Now, go on, before it gets too dark. I worry about you driving in the dark, He took her in his arms, and placed a light kiss on her lips. I'll be right behind you.

Amanda gave in. And we'll have a long discussion about this when you get home.

Yes, we will, he kissed her again. Now, be careful, and buckle up.

Amanda eyed him, as she shut her door, and backed out of the parking space. You know,' she thought to herself. For a spy, he's not very good at being sneaky.'

Lee watched her drive away, turned and headed back to the elevator, praying that Leatherneck had the tapes ready, or he really would be having that long discussion with Amanda.
