TWO MONTHS LATER
Doctor Robert Jenson had been working along at the Syria hospital medical center for the past two months. His life was full in every way helping patients that had need it. Even though for the past two weeks he was beginning to have strange dreams of images of people that he has never known or at least he hasn't.
There was a woman name Juri Malik age 45 years of age really beautiful with dark black hair with some strains of grey. He had come to confine in the woman knowing her job really well in the field of internal medicine.
Sitting outside on a black bench to relax on break working for the eight hours. Looking up into the sky he was able to see American jets fly over with a military base only fifty miles away from the city.
Juri had come out for the same fresh air and with the sharing of sandwiches and drinks. "Here you go Robert," she says with a hint of a smile.
"Thanks. I wonder how much longer is this country is going to continue to fight against other countries all because of their religious beliefs?" he asked with his heart was feeling heavy thinking too much about it.
"It's a good question Robert since I was born here and my parents always had to hide from those that didn't see fit in regard to one's religious beliefs and other beliefs like voting," she commented.
While they were talking. A man in his forties walking past didn't believe what he has seen sitting on a bench with a woman that he didn't know. Special Agent John Fenley of IFF for this region walked over to him.
"Of all people Lee Stetson, how are you? I have been wondering I haven't heard from you. Your wife Amanda must be worried?" he cries out.
"Sir I have no idea who are you and who is this Amanda?" Doctor Robert Jenson needed to say.
"Are you serious Lee? You and Amanda have been married five years with your son Lee Jr. age 5 years old while Amanda is carrying your second in her fourth month. IFF has been looking for you almost two months." he replied.
"I am Doctor Robert Jenson I have been living here for almost 15 years and I am not married Special Agent Fenley. Please move away while I am on a break?" he tells him with a strong demeanor.
"Fine. I will leave Lee. I am sorry for have made the mistake." he moves off to head back to his office at IFF to send a message to Billy Melrose in the United States.

IFF Billy Melrose office Time: 8.30 a.m. MORNING
He was walking into his office with his usual coffee and sandwich from the deli. He's been still recovering from the disappearance of Lee Stetson. He's been trying to have Amanda talking to a therapist about losing her husband while taking care of their five-year-old Lee Jr. and having to be pregnant in her four-plus month. She had taken time off from work. It's only been the past few weeks that she needed to work with keeping her mind off her husband Lee.
There haven't been any sightings of him anywhere and including his vehicle finding nothing.
Amanda knocked on his door after Billy was settled in his office while checking his calendar. she walked in with a file for him to sign.
"Amanda good morning how are you?" he was concerned for the woman and friend during those last two months.
"Dealing with things Billy. Lee Jr. was picked up by the bus station to the school. He loves being with his friends Billy. However, at night he cries having to be missing his father a great deal."
"I know Amanda and once again I am truly sorry," he responded.
It was at this particular time that his office phone on line five the overseas line. Billy said the following. "It's the overseas line Amanda?" he cries out with picking up the phone. "Hello this is Billy Melrose of IFF how can I help you?" he asked with Amanda alerted with listening to what is going to be said.
"Sir this is Special Agent John Fenley of the Syria regional office. I need to tell you that something strange had happened while I walking past the Syria medical center." he stopped for a moment to take in a deep breath.
"Go ahead Special Agent John Fenley?" Melrose needed to say over the phone.
"Sir I am a friend of Scarecrow. I saw him with some woman sitting out of the hospital on a bench chatting away. I had walked up to speak with him and he said that his name was Doctor Robert Jenson. I told him that I was his friend for whenever he was overseas working for IFF."
"Are you sure it was him Special Agent Henley?" Billy asked with Amanda standing anxious.
"Yes, it was him, sir. I believed he might have had his memory erased and placed it with another history of a doctor. There is a possible chance that he might be working for some foreign group without knowing it, sir."
"Let me have the address and I will be coming with a team to find out just what the hell is going on?" he cried out over the phone.
The next few moments Billy Melrose was able to get the address along with calling Francine Desmond Cerley and her husband Robert on assignment at the White House.
"I want to come Billy?" she responded by waving her arms.
"No such luck Amanda you're going to be staying here taking care of your son Lee Jr. " he ordered with her face dejected for the most part.
"Please Billy find my husband for god sake?" she quipped with her words with strong emotion.
