He entered the IFF, Ms. Marston was in her place and of course asked Lee for the password, "Chinatown", Lee made one of his famous Stetson smiles that delighted the grim caretaker and headed for the Q bureau.
He opened the door and found Francine, Fred and Geremy at work, a wave of nostalgia enveloped him, in that office he had learned about Amanda's extraordinary gifts, they had worked, discussed and solved many cases together, and had a little in love with her, "hello Francine, hello Fred, Geremy, why are you here?" Francine looked up, "Lee we are doing a search for a case, it seems that Libyan terrorists are organizing for an attack, but we cannot find links that allow us to identify the people who support and support them, but apart from that, how is Amanda? until she is well you will not go back to work, right? Because your presence here would be useful and it does not seem right to me that you neglect the work for her ", Lee ignored Francine's acid comment, she would have talked about it another time, "she is fine thanks, today I will take her home, then in fifteen days, after rehabilitation, she will go back to work".

And he went away wrapped in a cloud of smoke without even saying goodbye.
"Lee," said Fred, "if we can help you in any way, are we okay?", Still angry at Dr. Smith's arrogance, he felt his hands itch, how much he would have liked to punch him in the face, it would have been a huge satisfaction!, sighing shook his head, thanked the agents, and went to look for Billy in his office.
He took the small elevator and went down to the floor of the steno pool, as usual there was excitement, there was the typical buzz of an operational office, greeted people here and there, spoke with everyone about Amanda and finally arrived at Billy's office, who he had already seen it and was waiting for him.
"Hi Lee, how are you?" , "I'm fine thank you Billy, but I need to talk to you, about the kiss you saw at the hospital bar between me and Amanda", "Scarecrow, I just want to tell you, as I said to Amanda that I have nothing against your story, indeed I am very very happy, I did everything to put you together, because I was tired of seeing you throw your life away so badly, you are a smart man and you deserve a little respite and happiness, you are grown over the years in front of me, as a reckless and reckless agent and allergic to the rules, not that you now respect them very much, "he smiled," to a super qualified agent, but then the pain entered your life and you were not able to manage it and I was very sorry, when you brought Amanda here for the first time, I immediately understood that she was the right woman for you, and apparently I was right!, together you are perfect, both as a team and as a couple, let someone say that he has been married for more than twenty years ".
Lee looked at him in surprise, apparently Billy had planned everything, devil of a man, it was no coincidence that he was the head of the section, he reached out to shake Billy's, "thanks, you had already understood everything, besides being a excellent boss, you are really a friend, I love Billy, I am madly in love with her, I have never felt this way, neither with Eva, nor with Doroty, with a smile illuminates the room where she enters, she is intelligent and courageous, different from all the women I have known, she has been able to make me face the ghosts and pains of my past, and now I want to look only to the future, and I see it together with her and her family, that I want to make mine also, mind you, not I want to replace Joe, even if I consider him an idiot, but I want to be part of it slowly, always if they accept me naturally, but Billy I don't want to hide in the office or outside that Amanda and I are a couple, and above all I don't want to go away from the St united for months and months in zero contact, for no reason in the world will I give up on her, what do you think? "
"Scarecrow, you are a precious agent for us, but you know that Dr. Smith does not care what you want, but I promise you that I will do everything possible to help you, I will try to exercise my authority within the limits of the impossible, but then you must be you and Amanda fighting for your family, I saw the boys already like you and Dotty is already fascinated by you, and for any problem, you know I'm here to help you, "Francine, Fred and Geremy suddenly entered," Billy said Francine , we found out who is in contact with the Libyans, apparently in Washington there is a bar run by American staff, but which is frequented by many foreigners, including some faces known and reported, as possible terrorists, what do we do? " Billy came back immediately operational and said "We will put a team that will supervise the bar around the clock, you have to photograph who goes out and who enters for a few days, then we will take stock of the situation, nice job guys and now come on! Everyone out of my office ! " Billy made his famous roar, but smiled as his best agents went out, excellent team, and an idea was already forming in his mind that would help Lee stay closer to his new family and at the same time the agency she would be strengthened, she had to perfect her plan so that Smith's rogue could not harm anyone, she opened the drawer of her desk and bit half of the donut left over from breakfast, she had to plan everything perfectly, she left the office and he headed to the coffee machine, processing every detail in his mind.
