Part fourteen, Thursday at the Agency
After Amanda had stood up and had taken a shower she had made breakfast for Lee and had it put next to the bed. She would not wake him up and wrote down a notice which said that she went into the Agency.
As she got her badge from Mrs. Marsden her mobile phone was ringing. Charlie was calling.
"Good morning Charlie. Have you asked them?"
"Yes, I have asked them. You can send me your documents and I will take care off it. They don't know who you are. I have told them that it is about an old friend of mine."
"Thank you, Charlie. Call me when they are coming."
"I will, Angel. Bye."
Charlie hung up. Amanda went down to her boss to tell him about her help with Lee´s case. Amanda knocked on the door and Billy let her in. She sat down in front of Billy´s desk.
"Mr. Melrose I have to speak with you about the case."
"What is wrong with it? Will you not work any longer on it?"
"Sure, I will work on it. It is about the persons who are going to help me with it. I want that you know who the are. They are my former colleagues. We have worked for a man named Charlie Townsend. Do you know him?"
Billy thought about this name. "Yes, I know him. He is a distant friend of mine. He had a private investigation bureau, hadn't he? He had called them Angels. They have been working for the Agency years ago. But what have you to do with them?"
"I am an ex-angel. I had worked as detective for Charlie. Besides that I have a degree on a police school. And before you will ask me why no-one had found something about it. I had used a assumed name. And I think I had been working with the Agency. Somehow the bullpen and the whole building was well-known to me. Can you remember some of the names?"
Billy thought a short time: " I am not really sure but one was called Kris Munroe, one Kelly Garret and I think one was called Sabrina Duncan. And don't forget John Bosley!"
"You have a very good memory. All names are right and the last one is me!"
"If I remember right you had long black hair without curls and you had twist the head of every agent below fifty."
Amanda nodded.
"If you are police-officer and detective I will be able to promote you to an full-time agent. If someone had worked in one of those two jobs he have not to take part in a training. He only have to pass a test, but you have not to do this because you are been working for some years with the Agency and I know how well you work."
Amanda could not believe it. "This means that I am an official agent? Francine will freak out?"
Billy and Amanda had to laugh about the though that Francine is going to lose her favorite topic to flight with Amanda.
"Had Lee been working here when the Angels had helped the Agency? I remember his name dimly!"
"Yes, Lee had started to work for the Agency. You had been working with him and I know that you had been understanding each other very well."
Billy grind about this memory.
"Right, I remember too. What for a coincidence that Lee had choose me to deliver that box at the train station. That is a weird matter. Mr. Melrose can I take this day off? Lee and i are going to inspect a new house for us."
"Yeah, surely. Say hello to him. Good bye."
Amanda left the office and met Francine outside.
"Hello Amanda. I have heard about Lee´s terrible accident. Do you know how he is feeling?"
"It was no accident. Someone tried to kill him and he is feeling better. He must hold still his leg and he had pain if he is moving."
"Are you sure that someone is trying to kill him?I think I should go and visit him and ask Billy if I could help with this case."
Amanda was a little nerved by Francine. "I am sure after all I have find it out. And I doesn't need any help on this case because I am already getting help. And if you are going to visit him in his apartment then I have to disappoint you. He is not there."
"Where is he than?"
Amanda began to walk away. "As I have seen him last time he was lying on my bed, still sleeping."
This was enough for Francine. She could not say anything about it and Amanda had finally the chance to ga home.
Lee had been getting ready for the inspection of the house and sat on the sofa reading a book about baby-names.
"Hi darling. I have missed you."
Amanda got over to him and kissed him. "Nice to hear this. But for reimbursement I have three good news for you."
"Three?!? Begin!"
"Number one: Billy had given me today the day off and says hello to you! Number two: Charlie had called and the Angels are going to help me. And number three: Since today you will working with a fully trained partner. Billy had given me the full-trained agent status!"
Lee was speechless. Now he could be working with his wife on every file.
"These are really good news. But why have Billy so suddenly promoted you to an agent?"
"When I told Billy about the tape with your murder threat he had asked me if I would like to take part on a training. But because the baby I have said no. When I was with Billy today I had told him a similar story about the Angels and my past. I have told him that I am a police-officer and a detective. He had told me that I don't have to take part on a test, because I have been working for the Agency some years. He had known me as Angel when we worked once together."
Lee smiled. "Now you are speaking of it. I can remember a very young woman with long dark hair and very sexy clothes. I have been working with her a short time after I had started to work for the Agency. Suddenly she was gone and I didn't know where she was. Oh my gosh, had I been in love with her. Were you the woman?"
Amanda nodded. "I was in love with you, too. But you had been so distant to me. But now I know why and it had happily changed."
Amanda smiled.
"Is it not weird that you had given me the box on the train station. At this time I had felt a connection between us and I could trust in you. Imagine when we had been true with your feeling at that time. We had been living together for many happy years."
"Or not. I think we were both too young for a marriage. And besides that we had find together and we had fallen in love again. I love you more than at this time. And now let us go to see the house."
The house was perfect. Amanda had liked the house from the beginning. Lee liked it too. The room were big. They decided to buy it if Amanda´s mother and the boys had nothing against this idea. She called her boy at the house of her ex-husband to ask her sons.
"Hi Joe, this is Amanda. Are the boys there. I need to speak with them in an urgent matter."
Joe called after them and used the change to talk with Amanda.
"How are you feeling? Is it not boring without the family?"
"In the given circumstance I am feeling all right and I am not alone. A good friend is visiting me."
"Do I know him?"
"Yes, you know him. It is Lee Stetson."
"Is there something between you and Mr. Stetson. The boys have told me that you are dating with him."
"It is none of your matters but we are in love. I will not tell you more and you know why."
Just in this moment the boys came to the phone.
"Hi mom. Are you missing us?"
"Yes, of course but I have to speak with you about a urgent topic. You know the house of the Robinson´s? Would you like to move in it?"
"Yes, we would like to move in it. Then we will get bigger rooms."
"Okay, then I will begin to move in this house if your grandma had nothing against it."
She closed the line and dialed the number she had gotten from Dotty for emergencies. To her amazement a male voice was on the other end of the line.
"Excuse me, but is this not the extension of Dotty West?"
"Yes, it is. Wait a minute and I will get her!"
A short time after her mother was on the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello mother. Who is this man with you?"
"An old friend I have met here. Why are you calling?"
"you know the house of the Robinson´s. Since several weeks it is empty and I have thought about to move in it. After all our family is getting bigger and our old house will soon be to small for all of us."
"It is okay with me. What is Lee thinking about it?"
"It is okay with him, too. He likes the house. Have a nice holiday. Bye mother."
She closed the line and went to Lee and the real estate agent.
"Everyone had agreed. We will buy it."
They signed the bill of sale and organized the sell of their old house. As they were back at Amanda´s house they planned the moving for the next day.
"Lee, you can check the moving-companies. I will fax Charlie our information about Masters. He will take care about it."
"Okay, I will do it."
Amanda went to the fax machine and faxed the information about Masters to her former boss. On the last sheet of paper she wrote:
Thank you for your help and I am sorry that I had broken the contact with you and the Angels. I am looking forward to work for you and I am looking forward to see my Angels and Bossi again. Call me about the day and the time I should pick them up. Sabrina
Then she went back to Lee.
"I am finished, what about you?"
"I have called every company in Washington and in near vicinity. There is only one which had a free date for tomorrow. They will come at eight o` clock."
"Okay, we will begin to move this house in the new one and your apartment will stay like it is. Perhaps it will not work if we live together. We can be very strenuously."
"I believe this but I love you and I will spent my live with you. And I will see our baby growing. But it is a good idea. We can us my apartment when we will spent a undisturbed time."
Lee grind. Then the telephone was ringing.
"Stetson at King"
"This is Charlie Townsend. Can I please speak to Sabrina!"
"Amanda it is for you."
He gave her the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Hi Angel, this is Charlie. At the other no-one answered. I have get your information and I have found something by myself. Bossi is going to tell you the results. He will arrive tomorrow with the ten o` clock flight. The other Angels are going to came on Saturday about twelve o` clock."
"So, Bossi can help us with our moving. He will be happy! Does he know that I am the client?"
"No I have kept your instructions. Why are you moving?"
"Because of the grow of my family. Lee is moving in with me and my old house is going to be to small for us. We have bought a beautiful house in the near. And we are moving to it tomorrow."
"Bossi will be amazed because he like hard working so much."
Amanda laughed.
"Bye Sabrina."
"Bye Charlie and thank you."
Both ended the phone-call.
"Bossi will come tomorrow and he will tell us what Charlie had find out. And on saturday the other Angels will join us. I am really looking forward to see them again after all those years."
"Then they are going to be our first guests in the new house. Hopefully they will bring us luck."
Amanda noticed that he was worried.
"You don't have to be worried. We had solve nearly every case we had been working on. We will find Masters."
"That is not the matter! I am worried about us and our baby and your family. What is if the boys are not going to like me?"
"But you know each other and getting well with each other. They will accept you. Besides that they had known that sometimes there will be another man in my live. I was not going to live a single live. They will understand the situation. I and the baby, we are feeling very well. And about us I would not be worried. Now let us getting some food."
Lee ordered pizza.
"We will decorate the baby room together when your leg is better."
"Okay. Have you thought about a name for the baby?"
Amanda had to laugh. "We will have plenty of time to choose one. Why? Do you have one?"
Lee embraced her and began to caress her. "No, not really. But I have a proposal. We don't know if it is a boy or a girl!"
Amanda nodded.
"How about if each of us decided a name for a girl and a boy. If it will be a girl, she is getting your name first and mine as second one. If it is going to be a boy it is the other way around."
"This is a great idea. No one is going to be at a disadvantage. Do you have one?"
Amanda cuddled up to her husband. "No only a n idea, but like you said we will have enough time."
Suddenly Amanda came to something urgent.
"I had forgotten to call Mr. Melrose to asked him about another day off for tomorrow."
Amanda took the receiver and dialed but Lee took it away.
"Amanda, relax. I am going to ask him." Just in this moment Billy answered the phone.
"Melrose."
"Hello Billy, this is Lee. Good that I have catch you at the office. I would ask you if Amanda can take a day off tomorrow. We are going to move in another house and besides that a Mr. Bosley will come tomorrow because of my case."
"Tomorrow Amanda will get a short holiday and from next week she is allowed to work from home. After all someone need to look after you that you are going to listen to the medical orders. I wish you a good recovery and a good moving and that the case will soon be solved."
"Thank you. I will tell it Amanda."
Lee told her about this talk with Billy then they went to bed to start fresh in an eventful next day.
After Amanda had stood up and had taken a shower she had made breakfast for Lee and had it put next to the bed. She would not wake him up and wrote down a notice which said that she went into the Agency.
