"Where is she?" Lee muttered under his breath as he looked away from his
hot date Lani to survey his surroundings. More importantly, he needed to
know where Santiago was.
Lani's brow crinkled as she watched Lee walk away from their intimate tête- à-tête. She cried out "Hurry back Lee baby!" loud enough for him to hear her whiny voice above the crowd. Lee glanced back and attempted a smile as he nodded in agreement then bumped into Dean. Dean was too preoccupied however with his adorers to observe Amanda's absence or Lee's presence.
Lee shook his head in disgust and fumed internally, 'Why doesn't WeatherDan, Dean, what's his name, go after her? Santiago's my deal but *he* should at least notice that Amanda's gone!' Lee continued fuming even as he rushed to the lobby.
Sebastian was taking Amanda's hand and leading her out past the doorman, through the elegant brass revolving doors.
Hurrying his pace, Lee hissed, 'That King woman's gonna be the death of me yet! She's ruining my hot date and she's always causing me problems!'
Amanda was looking appreciatively into Sebastian's eyes, well, okay; she was really looking at his great hair, but soon found herself tangled in Sebastian's web of deception. Posing as a tourist, he had professed that he desired her assistance in finding Pennsylvania Ave. from where they were currently located.
As Amanda rambled on about how to get some great shopping done from their location as well as visiting Jamie's orthodontist, *and* visiting Pennsylvania Ave...Santiago glanced over his shoulder and watched Scarecrow rushing up behind them. A subdued smile crossed Sebastian's lips and, ever the gentleman; he tipped a mock top hat to Lee as he approached. Wide-eyed, Amanda looked from the suave Santiago to a haggard looking Lee and wondered what in the world was going on.
"I have a message for you Scarecrow my boy."
Amanda gasped as Sebastian uttered the code name Scarecrow while reaching into his pocket. She was sure Santiago was going to pull a gun. She knew *no one* called Lee 'Scarecrow' unless they were in the 'information' business.
Immediately Amanda ducked and pushed Lee out of Santiago's way. 'How do I get myself in these situations?"' she wondered as she tackled Lee to the sidewalk and heard a muffled 'pop'. She heard Sebastian groan and felt his limp body fall on top of her.
Lee grabbed Amanda in his arms and tried to prevent her from turning her head. He didn't want this crazy housewife from Arlington to see that Sebastian had been shot in the chest and was dead.....
