Lies and beneath the truths

Chapter One

Amanda was worried for the past hour. She and her husband were supposed to meet at the Starlight restaurant five blocks away from IFF. She had known that Billy was giving Lee a new mission to work on with someone working at the Washington, D.C. documents division of the state department was selling secrets to the highest bidder.

Her husband had called earlier to confirm the dinner for Six o' clock, while she had gone home to change. Currently she was into her fourth month of pregnancy. Even though Lee wanted her to cut back on her working hours at IFF to do most of her work at home with Billy's blessing.

She had checked her watched for the fourth time with-in the past forty minutes as the waiter was getting awfully tire of coming over asking on whether she needed a thing. " Not a thing sir, I am waiting for my husband." She was annoyed along with being hungry, and needing to run to the ladies room to relieve her bladder with the baby.

She didn't like this at all. Ever since Lee had come back from Prussia four months ago. She had hoped that he would be happy with the baby along with his memory returned with help from the doctor. Billy Melrose had reserved his thinking that he would be able to trust Lee to continue on with his investigation as an agent for IFF. The past few weeks once again Lee had been coming home late telling Amanda that he was working on a case for Billy checking into details from two of his long time sources.

After running to the ladies room, she decided that enough was enough for now. She told the waiter that she was leaving since she didn't order a thing. Placing on her light tan overcoat with a light rain, she quicken her movements to head for her vehicle parked on the side of the restaurant getting busy with the night time crowd.

She was about to get into her car looking down towards the alleyway to see a man seemed to be watching her for some odd reason. She felt a little overwhelmed for the moment and decided to start her car and looked again to see that the person around six feet tall was no longer there. Moving out of the space that she had for the restaurant, she needed to speak with Billy hopefully he would be still in his office.

She tried not to speed with not needing to receive a speeding ticket. Looking back into the mirror to make sure that she wasn't being tailed. Her heart rate and blood pressure was raising with each moment as it goes. She could of swore that man looked like her husband Lee, however something differently wasn't right at all. Unless she was going to be getting involved in another mystery involving Lee Stetson.

Billy was livid sitting in his office after listening to the story Amanda was giving him. He was drinking his second cup of black coffee with-in the last hour. His superiors had been giving him an earful in regard to further classified documents being taken. And he hasn't heard from Lee either since Billy sent him under cover to join the group involved. Lee wasn't allowed to say one word to Amanda in regard to the fact that those involved just might go after her in the first place.

However for Billy, he had to keep on lying to Amanda and all of his friends about the secret operation. And here he was listening to Amanda upset and annoyed. "Sir, tell me what exactly is going on?" She insisted with the question chewing a nail from being somewhat nervous.

"How should I know Amanda? Lee was here earlier in the afternoon checking in with talking to one of his sources for a simple courier drop near the Washington, D.C. library, otherwise he's not call me since than. I really don't know what to tell you, Amanda accept to go on home and get some sleep with the baby." Billy ordered strongly with Amanda trying to agree to the idea, even though she was worried that something else might of happened like the last time in Prussia.

"I will try sir." She said with moving up from the couch to head for the door to leave. There wasn't anyone around in the outer office. Not even Francine having gone home to head out for a date with an old friend named Donald Taylor. He's been involved in the C.I.A. stationed in Paris, France for the last four years, even though of late he's gotten involved with something even more dangerous...

Washington, D.C. public library Basement

Three men involved in the stealing of classified documents were meeting up with a new man joining the team down in the basement. One of them worked as a security guard for the library, he was able to shut down the security camera leading to the basement in order to have the meeting.

Lee Stanton aka Stetson was able to get a hold of another document for a price. Colonel Franklin Baker in charge of the group was waiting for this Stanton when he arrived with an escort with one of Baker's men bringing him down to meet them and hand over the document involving placement of Naval vessels near Russia and other countries.

"Mr. Stanton it's good of you to come. I understand you have something for us ?" He asked with the others very anxious to take a peak at for a certain price, and Colonel Baker was willing to pay a fair price of $50,000 with more to come.

"I do. It's right here in this vanilla envelope. I will take it out for you to read the six pages of vital information for your group." As he removes the document out and handed it over to him.

Taking the time to take a look at the information listed. He grinned with being really happy with the results, along with telling his friends that the information was valid totally since he was basically testing Lee Stanton. Lee was able to relaxed slightly feeling that he might of gotten his foot into the door with this group.

Colonel Baker pulled out a small suitcase on the side of the desk filled with the funds that was owed to Stanton. "Here you go Lee, your payment. There is going to be more to come once you're able to retrieve further classified documents. When do you think that will be?" The colonel asked with turning to face the others anxiously waiting to hear the answer.

"In a day or so Colonel Baker." Lee said...
