Lee Stetson soon arrived in the agency, he hadn't been able to sleep, he thought about the tender kiss with Amanda, he hoped in his heart to talk to her alone as soon as possible, he wanted to take her out to dinner and spend time with her, he wanted to be with Amanda , alone.
But now he had to go into agent mode and investigate, follow Amanda's suggestion,
She had always had a remarkable intuition for people and he trusted her innate abilities, so she went to the computer, looking for all sorts of traces of life in the United States, as a spy for Ivan Kruschenko's KGB.
After a couple of hours, he had a name, Susan Wraith, apparently they had been dating for a couple of years, before his mother, Russia, called Ivan home, went to the office with Billy and told him what he had discovered, immediately Billy put a team led by Francine to deepen the search, it was the only track they had, maybe it would not lead to anything, but Billy also trusted Amanda's intuition, so they gave themselves a phone appointment for the afternoon, home of "Gilmore", in the meantime hoping to discover something.
Lee told Billy that he had changed apartment and phone number and was on the move, he would then send the new address and the new number to the secretary.
Billy looked at him puzzled, "What's up, Lee?, Why these changes?"
"No Billy" said a scared scarecrow, the lease period expired and so I thought I'd move to a new place, you know that sometimes I like doing it ".
"Yes, but also the telephone number? Usually it remains the same even when you move",
"See Billy, I decided to change acquaintances, I want to look at a different future, (with Amanda he thought), leaving behind a few people who are part of a past that I want to forget".
"Oh, really? And so nothing has to do with a brunette we both know?"
"Billy, I don't know what you're talking about, it's just a new phase in my life, you can change it, right?"
"Certainly scarecrow, indeed you can always improve when you decide to make a change in your life, and if you need to talk, remember that besides being your superior, I'm also your friend, ok?"
"Thanks Billy, I know."
Lee left Billy's office, went straight to the elevator, ignoring the looks of the female staff, and a small group of new secretaries at the coffee shop, who sighed adoringly as he passed.
Francine Desmond was a little upset, the scarecrow had changed, she could see it from her way of walking, talking, she didn't even look at the new girls anymore, in fact she didn't even notice that there were two new stenographers, very very strange, she had changed apartment and phone number, as if to cut the past, he would have tried to make it talk as soon as possible, relying on their old friendship, Lee was certainly hiding something, he got up from his seat and ran towards Lee, he would have reached the elevator .
"Lee" called, "what do you want Francine?"
"Hey how are you? Are you so busy that you can't see yourself anywhere, at the last party of the Polish embassy, many of your" friends "were looking for you, you don't even come to drink from Ned anymore, it's a long time since can you see it, is everything okay? "
"Francine, I assure you that I am very well, I am taking care of my move and some changes I want to make in my life, and also of this mission with Fred and Amanda, so I am very very busy, thank you for your concern, but all is well, really ".
"Okay," said Francine, but in her heart she was puzzled, no scarecrow hadn't told him the truth, it's okay there would have been time to figure out what was happening, she was very curious, but she also cared as her friend, despite that that was said in the office, Francine was fond of Lee's friendship, like Billy's, but she had a reputation to defend, and nothing and nobody had to know her weak point.
Lee's apartment was an exaggerated mess, boxes everywhere, even though he had placed most of his clothes by now, some crockery, some knick-knacks with memories, his records and some pictures and pictures to hang on the wall were missing to fix. .
It had been a good idea to take the apartment already furnished, the furniture was new, he had paid a little more but, everything was new, a cleaning company had cleaned everything very well, it also had to do a very important thing, the expense to fill the fridge wouldn't let Amanda scold him again, no moldy stuff or leftovers, he always wanted to have fresh ingredients, he often wanted to invite his Amanda to dinner with him, and maybe dance, drink good wine, kiss a few? Ok ok, calm, now he had to go out to go to the "Gilmore", he thought ironically, the newlyweds were waiting for him.
With a great sigh, Lee left his apartment and walked to Vette, leaving the porter, leaving, greeted him, Mr. Mel, very nice and precise, was a very good porter, he had managed the cleaning and moving companies on his behalf and behaved very well, certainly deserved a nice tip and a special scarf for Christmas.
Amanda was very busy that morning, she was cooking, pasta with tomato sauce with Italian sauce, roast veal in a crust, stewed vegetables, chocolate chip cookies and her famous chocolate cake, she couldn't wait to have Lee for lunch and to talk to him, even though they were on a mission, there was no harm if they fed themselves right?
Sighing, he thought of the tender and sweet kiss of the night before, of Lee's arms around her, of his warmth, I have! boy, she hadn't been able to sleep because of that sweet kiss.
Fred watched her move around in the kitchen as the perfect housewife, she remembered her home, from when she was little and her mom cooked for her family, the scents were the same, the quiet atmosphere made him completely relaxed.
He had tried to help Amanda, but he had been gently swept away, his task was exclusively, to prepare the dining table and prepare the aperitif, heck it was just the scarecrow that came to lunch with an excuse, yet it had to be perfect, it was really something this woman, an infinite surprise, was beginning to understand why she had been able to fascinate Lee, and somehow fascinated everyone she met, including him.
