Francine saw Lee come out of Billy's office, here's his chance to have some fun, "hey Lee, then you finally got rid of the housewife? Come on I offer you lunch and then if you want dessert," he said winkingly, the bullpen stopped, Lee raised his head, looked at Francine with such contempt that made her tremble, "" Francine, "he said with a cold hiss," after all this time, after all that you have also lived with Amanda, you really think that I would leave my partner to others? She is mine and I will take her back and to clear up once and for all, put your heart at rest, between me and you there can be only a friendship and a working collaboration, the dessert also offer it to someone else. "

He turned his back and walked out of the bullpen with a grim look.

Francine felt ashamed, she should have understood before, that Lee now somehow felt feelings for Amanda, angry screamed at everyone that the show was over and going back to work.

Fred Fielder, as a postman was enjoying himself, had managed to discover that a car with two men was always in front of Ivan's house, probably on guard, and at regular intervals they exchanged surveillance with two others, they looked like typical agents Russians of the KGB.

Ivan Kruschenko hardly ever went out, and if he left the house, he was always in the car with the escort, he had heard from the neighbors to whom he brought the mail, that they had a housekeeper and a cook and twice a week a cleaning lady, no person suspected, no strange trade, all perfectly normal, except of course that they were of the KGB.

Amanda for her part, attending the supermarket, where their cook used to shop, was able to approach her and talk a little with her, gently, with her usual gab, they had exchanged recipes and culinary secrets, even managed to inviting her to the Gilmore house to taste her famous chocolate biscuits and her famous poppy cake, in this way she would have had much more information.

He returned home, baked cookies and cake, and asked Fred to buy some flowers to put in the living room, everything had to be perfect to put Martha, the Kruschenko cook, at ease.

In the early afternoon, after preparing biscuits, cake and hot tea in the living room, his guest arrived perfectly on time, immediately appreciated the biscuits and asked for the recipe with the oat and raisin variant and was overwhelmed by the goodness of the cake.

Speaking of this and that, Amanda in a perfect class C interrogation, managed to acquire a lot of information, Ivan Kruschenko was a very lonely man, he received very few people, including a New York lawyer, a notary and several people that Martha did not he could understand what job they were doing, he was a very reserved man, strict but he didn't look bad.

This, however, left Amanda perplexed, an old KGB spy could not be bad, certainly had killed people, so it was strange, and then a lawyer and a notary, was he perhaps looking for someone? In the evening he would have transmitted this information to Billy, asking for a search on Ivan's kinship, an idea was forming in his mind, his intuition was working as hard as only Amanda could do, he greeted Martha who went away happy with a supply of extra cookies.

When Fred returned home, Amanda shared what he had discovered, they checked with Billy who congratulated them for collecting valuable information and promised as soon as possible to call back with news from their informants, then said "Amanda, Lee is back , wants to be part of this mission and is a little angry for having partnered with Fred, tomorrow he will contact you, like an old family friend, okay? "

"Ok," Amanda was surprised, Lee was back, and he was angry with Billy, Ommiodio, so he wanted to work with her again? Had she missed it? Good heavens, good heavens, good heavens, tomorrow he would see him again, he trembled slightly as he thought about it, he had missed him so much, he hoped he didn't scream with her, it wasn't his fault he'd left and Billy had given him a mission with Fred, he couldn't wait for tomorrow to arrive.

Fred stirred, the scarecrow was angry, hell he hoped he wouldn't take it out on him, he certainly didn't depend on his will to work with Amanda, even though he was actually pleasantly surprised by the lively housewife, he imagined her boring and talkative, instead it was intelligent, intuitive, sagacious and amusing, besides being a very good cook.

Hoping that the scarecrow would be calmer the next day, he prepared to dine with Amanda, meatloaf, baked vegetables and apple pie, all strictly home-made.
