"Won't You Be My Valentine, Mr. Steed?"
Three days before Valentine's Day, Steed was in his office where he taught future secret agents in training. He had just finished his morning section of teaching to the agents in training about the in and out of the spy business. While sitting in his chair, Steed planned a romantic weekend with his girlfriend Emma. He wanted to be alone with Emma; he also wanted them to go someplace where they could just spent time together. As Steed planned the date, he made a list of things to do before he and Emma took off to their special place. Meanwhile, on the other side of London, Emma Knight was at a local university. She was a professor there, and she was in her small office with filled book shelves, and paper piled up. Emma was working on correcting papers, before her first class of the day begins. While she was getting ready for the class the phone rang.
"Professor Knight here" said Emma.
"Hello, Professor. It is me Steed. Are you busy right now? said Steed.
"I've a class in a few minutes. What is up?" said Emma.
"Just wanted to hear your voice, and wanted to say, 'I love you'. and hope to see you tonight" said Steed.
"I love you too. And I will see you for dinner tonight. Will that be your place or mine? said Emma.
"About my place for a change? Around six-ish" said Steed.
"That sounds good to me, I see you then" said Emma.
"Ok, that is a date; see you for dinner at my place. And I will let you go and I've to get going for a meeting" said Steed.
"Ok, then we better get going now. Bye-Bye" said Emma.
"Bye for now" said Steed.
Emma hangs up the phone and grabs her stuff for her class, and out the door. And Steed does the same. As Steed is walking down the hall, this man accidentally bumps into Steed.
"Oh, beg your pardon" said the man.
"It is quite all right" said Steed.
"By the way can you help me find Mr. Bond? I've got a meeting with him" said the man.
"He is down the hall and to the right. His name is on the door, so you can't miss his office" said Steed.
"Forgive me for asking you this, are you the famous John Steed?" said the man.
"I'm afraid so. Who are you may I ask? said Steed.
"I'm surprise that you don't know me. I am Peter Peel, Mrs. Emma Peel is my ex-wife" said Peter.
"Oh, it is nice to meet you. I am sorry that I can't talk right now I am pressed for time" said Steed.
"Oh no need to chat right now, maybe we can meet another time" said Peter.
"That'd be nice, sorry I must go. Nice to have met you" said Steed. As Steed was leaving, Peter said to himself, "It is not the last you have seen me, you stole my wife from me".
Later that evening, Steed comes home to his 3 Stable Mews flat, and smells something good coming from the kitchen. Steed goes into the kitchen and finds Emma cooking up in storm. Steed sneaks up behind Emma, moves her hair aside and gives her a kiss on her neck. Emma turns around and now is facing Steed.
"Well hello, stranger" said Emma.
"Hi. What is for dinner?" said Steed.
"Oh nothing special. Just some lamb, potatoes, and vegetables" said Emma as she was going back to the cooking.
"What no dessert?" said Steed teasing.
"I'm your dessert later, if you like that" said Emma.
"Mmm..., I would like that very much" said Steed hugging Emma.
"Down boy! Save it for later. Besides why don't you go and freshen up, dinner will be ready soon" said Emma.
Steed goes upstairs to freshen up and to put something casual on. As he came down the stairs he saw a table in the living room arranged for two. The table had fine china, crystal glasses, silverware, a couple of candles and one rose in a vase in the middle of the table. Steed goes to the kitchen and helps Emma a bit with the food, and choosing the wine to go with the dinner. As soon as the food was on the table, Steed and Emma sat down and started to eat. Steed asked Emma about her day, and her classes. Soon Emma asked Steed about his day.
"This person bumped into me at work this afternoon, and you won't believe who it was" said Steed.
"Who was it? Not someone that I know?" said Emma.
"I am afraid it is someone that you know and was married to" said Steed.
"Peter Peel?! What on earth was he doing there the first place?!" said Emma.
"Now clam down, Emma. You knew that he did some flying for us in the organization before he disappeared in the Amazon. I would guess he is needed for some kind of flying job or something related to that" said Steed.
"I don't trust him one hundred percent, Steed. I have a feeling that he is up to something. After all I was married to him, and went back to him when he was found alive in the Amazon. And for three years I stayed married with him, and it was the worst time of my life. And when I divorced him, it was like a blessing. And now that I am in your life again, let's make it the best" said Emma.
"I toast to that", said Steed rising his glass.
"Cheers, Steed" said Emma rising her glass.
The glass made a clinking noise and Steed and Emma finished the meal. Steed and Emma helped each other with the cleaning and the washing the dishes and putting things away. Emma sat down on the leather couch, and started to do some corrections for her student's work. Steed asked Emma if she would like a brandy. Emma replied, yes. So Steed got two brandy glasses, and poured this Napoleon brandy in the glasses. He walked towards the couch and handed Emma her glass. Steed sat down near her, took a sip of brandy, he reached for the newspaper and started to read a bit. Around nine o'clock Steed was getting a bit restless, and Emma was just working and trying not to pay attention to Steed. Steed was starting to come close to her, and started to tease and touch her hair. Soon Emma could not stand it anymore, she put down her paper work and let Steed tease her some more. Soon they kissed, softly at first and then with passion. Steed got up and helped Emma get up from the couch and he led her to the bedroom upstairs.
Meanwhile, at a local pub which is filled with lots of smoke, the smell of liquor in the air and noises of a band playing and people chatting. There is a man at the bar drinking heavy, and it is Peter. His mind is going nuts, and just thinking how to get back at Steed and his ex- wife Emma, but mostly thinking of harming Steed for good. There is a man next to Peter. Peter has a drink in his hand and bumps into this man at the bar spilling his drink all over him. The man, gets angry at Peter, and tells him off. Peter gets boiling mad, his face is getting red with anger, and he starts to clinch his fists. Pretty soon fits are flying all over the place, the man and Peter are fighting in the bar and out in the streets that led to the alley. Peter is just beating up the man who is twice his size, and don't stop until the man just passes out. Peter is breathing heavy and has blood all over his body from the man's blood including his. Peter walks away and gets into his car and drives away. Peter arrives to his apartment, and goes inside. When he goes inside the apartment, he goes into this room which is filled with pictures of Steed and Emma. There are newspaper clippings and old photographs, and pictures of Peter and Emma together when they were married. Peter takes a photograph of Emma and just looks at it, touching it, and then kisses it. "You'll be all mine again Emma, all mine" Peter talking to himself out loud. Peter goes to his desk in the same room, and gets a gun and a box of bullets. He goes to his bedroom and packs a few things in an overnight bag. He is plotting something in his head. Peter goes out to his car, and drives to the country in the midnight hours. He has a small cottage in the country, in that cottage is a typical cottage but not much inside of it, just a few pieces of furniture, at least it has a kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom. Peter puts down the bag, goes into the back yard where there is a tool shed where he has a box of explosive inside the box. Peter brings the box of explosive in the house and starts to make a bomb. "This will really kill Steed!" said Peter in his mind. When Peter is done making the bomb, and after he freshens up, Peter goes to the car and drives back to London.
Back at Steed's flat, Emma and Steed are sleeping. It is almost five in the morning; the sky is starting to show light. Emma is looking at Steed sleeping, "Just like an innocent boy sleeping", thought Emma. She kisses Steed, on the lips and Steed is just sleeping like a baby. Emma gets up, goes to the bathroom and freshens up. She needs to go to her apartment to get ready for the day. Emma goes downstairs, and leaves a note to Steed telling him that she didn't want to wake him up and had to go back to her apartment, and had an early department meeting. Emma leaves Steed's apartment and gets into her blue car, and the noise of the car echoes in the morning air. A few moments later Emma arrives at her apartment, she goes into the apartment, and starts to undress, and take a shower. Peter is in her apartment hiding in the bathroom closet. He is watching her moves in the bathroom, and once she is out of the bathroom, Peter stepped out of the closet, and enters the bedroom. Emma was busy getting dressed and did not know that Peter was in the room with her.
"Good Morning, Emma" said Peter. Emma just froze and slowly turned around, and said,
"Peter! What on earth are you doing here? How did you get in?
"Well, picking a lock is child's play. And I 'd imagine a 'secret agent' would have to better alarm system" said Peter.
"What do you really want from me anyway" said Emma.
"Only you, Emma only you! said Peter. Emma thought to herself, he is just like a person that she and Steed put away in an insane asylum.
"Now I am going to ask you to come with me, Emma. And don't say no and no tricks" said Peter pointing the gun at her.
"At least let me put on my shoes, and then you can take me where ever you want" said Emma.
"Good. Let's g and remember no tricks" said Peter. However Emma tried to put a karate chop on Peter's hand where the gun was, and tried another move on him, but Peter knocked her out with a chop on the neck. Peter put a coat on Emma, and carries her out of the apartment and into her car. Peter hurried drove away before anyone could see him.
