The next morning, they went to the office to talk to Billy, Fred was very proud to be on the team, the scarecrow, Mrs. King and Fred Fielder.

He walked in the bullpen with his head held high, he was on a mission together with the two best agents of the agency, he smiled at all the proud employees, until he met Francine's gaze, and suddenly he felt a nothingness, damn that woman, he always put him struggling with those ice eyes, ok it doesn't matter, he tried to ignore her and went into Billy's office, later he would tell Francine, Lee and Amanda and then he really would have fun.

Billy listened to his agents, brought in Francine for the latest news, they had to draw up a plan to contact Ivan without making him suspicious, but he knew that in the past he had been a very clever counterintelligence agent, Amanda's idea seemed to be the best, but The scarecrow absolutely didn't agree, he walked up and down the office, with a severe frown and a clenched jaw, he was very angry, "Billy, you can't be serious, he screamed, you can't send Amanda alone, in In the midst of all those Russian agents, and if they had discovered her and taken her prisoner? And if they had hurt her? It was too risky, damn no! And then no !, Amanda is my partner, I don't want anything bad to happen !!! "

Francine was very surprised "Lee damn, since when did you decide to formalize Amanda as your partner ?, she's not even a real agent! She's not trained and attracts trouble like flies!"

"Francine you know very well that she has a great intuition and always gets by in every situation, has she saved you too, am I wrong?" Lee said, looking softly at Amanda, she returned his gaze, with a smile that lit up the room, Francine there watched her interact in this way and was surprised by the look of understanding between them, then looked at Fred, he smiled looking at her amused, " fantastic Fred thought, now he realized that there is something between these two "! so you learn Francine to treat Amanda badly !.

Francine didn't know what to think, for the first time, Lee openly defended Amanda and called her partner, what the hell had happened, in the days he'd been away? , Is it possible that he had changed so much that he had a real interest in the housewife? Very perplexed, he decided that he would question Fred's weakling, and he would tell him everything that had happened in that house!

Suddenly they heard a knock on the door, Agent Geremy entered, they had found Ivan's family in Washington, they had been contacted, and now they were waiting to talk to someone to explain what was happening, Billy said he would go and talk to them, and then they would decide what to do, even if Amanda's plan remained the best.

On leaving Geremy he greeted and nodded to Fred Fielder, as if they had been friends for a long time, Amanda smiled, after all the young agent was not alone, some friend had him too.

Okay folks said Billy, I'm going to talk to kruschenko's daughter, we'll see if she wants to meet her father, see you in one hour in my office, out there all !!

Billy looked at Lee and Amanda, now you could see a certain understanding between them, he prayed that having sent her on a mission with another agent, he would wake up Lee's feelings towards her, later he would talk to him, but see them so close , as they smiled at each other, it made him feel good, maybe there was a hope that his plan was working.

Francine leaving the office called Fred, she absolutely wanted to know what had happened between the scarecrow and the housewife, "hey Fred, can I talk to you?" She gave him big cat eyes, "but of course, but you will have to offer me lunch if you want to talk to me about Francine", Fred marveled at his courage to talk like that to the most feared female agent of the agency, she narrowed her eyes looking at him , could not miss this opportunity, "but certainly my dear, where do you want us to have lunch?" , "Where you want Francine, said a worried but also amused", Fred Fielder.

They went to an out-of-the-way restaurant, not far from the office, sat down and ordered a steak and a salad, it's a good red wine.

In a perfect style, from soft interrogation, Francine was told by the incautious agent, all that had happened, since he had been sent by Billy, undercover with Amanda.

Fred, he told nonchalantly, of the scarecrow's arrival at night in Amanda's room, as if he were mad and jealous of her, of how beautiful Amanda was in a dazzling white silk and lace nightgown, of Lee's disturbance at seeing her and lastly he told Francine of the tender and sweet kiss he had seen among them in the bedroom, more precisely while Amanda was lying on the bed.

Francine was shocked, she could not process the words, jealousy, tenderness and kiss, in the same sentence with the scarecrow and the housewife, her face expressed all the surprise and perplexity in believing Fred's story, O My God, how it was could it have happened that Amanda had managed to make Lee fall in love?

Fred was really enjoying himself, seeing on Francine's face, all those emotions, surprise, disbelief, disgust, envy, really priceless !! He would have told all the bullpen, it would have been the gossip of the year! He was in such good spirits to have left Francine speechless, for having avenged himself all the times he had treated him badly, that he offered to pay the bill, a true gentleman.

Lee and Amanda, they had lunch in a small and intimate Italian restaurant, he had heard about it very well, but he had never been there with anyone, he wanted time with her to be all part of a new experience, Amanda was pleasantly struck by the so intimate and familiar atmosphere of the place, it was perfectly relaxed and at ease, they looked at the menu together, decided for a pasta with pesto for two, a portion of scallops in white wine to be divided, mixed salad with cherry tomatoes and to accompany it all, Lee he ordered a bottle of prized Valdobbiadene prosecco, a light and sparkling white wine, perfect for the food they had chosen.

Waiting for their meal to be served, Lee told Amanda about her new apartment, new furniture, and that it was almost in order and the phone number was changed, she was surprised at the change of house, Lee absolutely wanted her to have dinner with him as soon as the mission was over, while they were talking absently, they did not notice that their hands touched and caressed without ever leaving, they began to eat, the food was very good, but passed into the background, because they continued to look at each other and smile, while Amanda he drank a sip of Prosecco, Lee avidly looked at his wet lips, a shiver ran down his back, he was so sexy, his eyelashes so long, flapping like butterfly wings and his eyes were bright and luminous, God as he was beautiful in its simplicity, it was enchanting him and he felt so good and so at peace.

Amanda was slightly embarrassed at how he was looking at her, it was as if he wanted to kiss her, taste her, his eyes so green they had become almost an intense emerald color, his hand caressed her without stopping a moment, small pleasant chills ran through his body, making him almost losing concentration, he felt so good, so at peace.

When the waiter came to ask if they wanted dessert, they realized that time had passed too quickly, they had to go back to the office, reluctantly got up from the table, Lee paid the bill, took Amanda by the hand and went back to the agency, Lee didn't he was looking forward to having an evening alone with her, he wanted more time, he passed too fast when they were together, it was so nice to be with her, he never had enough, with a great sigh, he put his hand on his small back of Amanda and they went in to greet Mrs Marston.
