Part 2 The Lost Episode
Part 2
Scene 1
Setting: Behind the Opera House, on the Potomac
No one had followed them as the Russians craftily stole Amanda and Lee away from the Opera. Through the lobby, out the door and now--past the gritty backside of the Opera House to the Potomac--where a getaway boat stood idling. Amanda shivered as the Russian agent pushed her over the side of the boat and next to Lee. Lee gently put his arm around Amanda's shoulders.
Amanda stared off in silence. Visions of Phillip and Jaimie, Joe and her mother--raced though her mind. "How iroinc" she thought "Here I've just quit the Agency so that I can lead a normal life with Dean and now my life is in jeopardy!" Lee detected the concerned look on Amanda's face and tenderly whispered in her ear, "It's going to be okay Amanda, for once, please do what I say."
Amanda turned to look at Lee. Ah, those eyes! Those beautiful blue eyes! Amanda admonished herself for noticing and dutifully nodded to Lee that she would obey. As the boat sped off, Lee yelled "Jump!".
Amanda immediately hit the unwelcome water. As she struggled to swim toward safety, Amanda turned to see Lee strike the enemy agent with a solid punch to the jaw. Amanda then saw the Russian stagger and almost fall out of the boat. When Amanda finally reached the muddy shore, she turned again to see the Russian raise his fist. As he was about to deck Lee, another boat suddenly sped around the corner and CRASH!!!!!!!
The boat Lee was on burst into flames.
Hsssssss.
The sound of the flames echoed in the night air.
Amanda slumped to her knees and could only stare at the vessel now engulfed in fire. Gone. Lee was gone. Amanda stared at the inferno. She was deadly quiet.
The only sound was that of the water gently lapping the shore...and.. the hiss of fire.
Amanda didn't even notice the click-clack of Glenda's heels on the pavement behind her. Glenda's words foggily echoed in Amanda's brain "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Amanda could not respond. A silent scream was in her throat. Lee was gone, her Lee was gone.
Part 2
Scene 2
Setting: Police Station
Francine gently completed the soft interrogation of Amanda at the Police Station as Dean waited. The explanation would be that Amanda had been mugged at the Opera House and came to the station to report the thug. She could not and must not ever mention her knowledge of Lee or Glenda or the Agency or the entire incident at the Opera House. As far as the Agency was concerned--Amanda must marry Dean tomorrow and act as if nothing had happened.
Amanda stared in silence and allowed Francine to finish her cool instructions. Without emotion she let Dean take her home. Dean dismissed Amanda's quiet behavior and weak story thinking she must be jittery before their big day tomorrow.
