Sebastian Santiago was no amateur as far as Lee Stetson or the Agency was concerned. He had been a civilian intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy but was suspected of passing classified documents to Iran. The potential harm caused by Sebastian's action was no small matter and was of critical importance to the Agency as he had been privy to highly sensitive information.

Lee feared that vital naval documents on national defense had fallen into Santiago's hands. The guy had been an analyst during the Iran hostage crisis. Lee didn't have proof but didn't trust Santiago as far as he could throw him. And considering Sebastian's 6 foot 4 height and buff body-that wouldn't be far!

Amanda gawked as Sebastian gracefully entered the room. For a man his height and breadth, he was quite graceful. Amanda was struck by the beautiful, dark, thick curly hair that graced his head and sighed when she heard his deep baritone voice as he asked the hostess for a cocktail.

It didn't take long for Sebastian to notice the tanned lovely gazing at him with wide almond shaped eyes. Lee winced as he watched Sebastian stride up to Amanda's table and sit directly across from her.

"Is this seat taken?" Sebastian inquired in a low, enchanting voice.

"Oh, uhm, my boyfriend Dean was sitting there but he went up to get a drink and well, um, it is crowded here so I guess if you want to sit here, I mean just for a minute, well I guess that would be okay and did anyone ever tell you, wow, you've got great hair.."

Lee shook his head as he overheard Amanda ramble on while Sebastian charmingly took her hand and kissed her fingertips, thanking her for her generosity and hospitality. Lee was bewildered as he watched the color rise to Amanda's cheeks; he couldn't believe that Amanda couldn't see right through that traitor!

Well, at least Lee thought Sebastian was a traitor.

"Where's that Dan guy anyway!" Lee muttered loud enough to cause Lani to raise her brow.

"Everything ok Lee baby? You look worried."

"Uh, Lani, ye-ah, everything is just fine."

That's right Stetson, tell that to yourself again he mused. 'This isn't work, I'm *not* on Agency time and I'm not going to concern myself with Amanda, Don, Dan, Dune, whatever her boyfriend's name is, or Santiago for tonight!'

That was, until he looked up and realized Amanda and Santiago were no where to be found.....
