Back in the states. Agents for the Witness Protection program for the U.S. Government arrived to IFF. Both of the agents in their mid forties having worked for the government for almost twenty years. They were tired and will be glad to get their suspect to California and the safehouse.

His partner agent Charlas Efrem was glad they had finally made it making it feel like it was forever once they had left Texas dropping off another suspect. This time a Jewel thief with a long record and all of his enemies after him.

Walking inside to the quietness of the cell area. One of the security officers escorted them to the cell for where Taylor was located. One thing for sure, Donald Taylor was glad they had finally arrived. Showing the proper paperwork to the guards to sign with the release of the prisoner.

"All right Mr. Taylor your protection is here to take you to the airport and the safehouse." The young guard in his early twenties with blonde hair having taken his uniform cap off to rub his head a little,

Standing up with moving off the cell cot. "It's about time! I was beginning to think that the cot was part of my bottom." He relish with the comment to the agent. "I will be damn happy to get out of here." He says with watching Agent Tim Reids take out his hand cuffs to be placed behind his back once again.

Moving closer to the agent and turning around to let the agent work his magic. He just was happy to leave and into his new home away from all of his enemies that will no doubt be coming after him. "Let's go, I believe everything is in order?" Agent Reids replied with his partner taking the copies of the forms sign and placing them into his white jacket.

Moments later reaching the underground parking lot and their vehicle. Agent Efrem opening the back door for which he will be sitting with Taylor, while Reids will be driving to the airport.

It was an hour later for when Billy Melrose arrived to IFF and his office. There were several reports having been placed on his desk. Amanda King Stetson had come with Billy to talk. She was very much interested on what was happening in Tehran, Iran.

"Please sit, Amanda. I need to scan the reports that is important for the both of us." Billy stated with turning on the lights up full. While placing his hat onto the coat rack after removing his jacket. Taking a few moments with sitting down to read the reports. The first one had about the Witness Protection agents finally arriving to take their suspect to the safehouse.

There was a knock on the door to be Francine Desmond with the one report from overseas in her hand. She walked with a smile on her face. "Sir, the terrorist have been captured by the marines." She exclaimed with giving Billy the file, while Amanda was anxious to know the truth about her husband.

"Thanks Francine, Let me read the report, you can go back to your alcove for now. " He ordered while Francine wasn't happy with the idea of going back to her desk. However she followed his order and left his office without saying a word to Amanda.

Opening up the file to begin reading the ten page report sent by the military overseas. "Well, I be damn! They were caught with their pants down Amanda. There wasn't an single ounce of bloodshed between the terrorists and the marines." As he continued to read the report, he came to the part to have Billy smiling.

"What's going on Sir?" Amanda needed to asked before busting further with her nerves and the baby.

Taking in a deep breath. Billy began talking..."It would seem your husband is quite all right. Once Colonel Baker was arrested, Lee punched the colonel into his face before being taken into custody. He had gotten his nerve up to get even with the colonel." Billy said with a smirk showing up to have Amanda letting go of the stress with her body and the baby moving all over the place.

"I am so happy to hear that the entire operation was a complete success sir. When will Scarecrow be coming home?" It was the one question that has been on her mind for the longest time.

"I would think it would be in a few days once the military decides on where to put all of the terrorists for questioning and than waiting to be sentenced and which prison. I would think that certain countries would want to have them all hanged for the crimes they had done." Billy responded with Amanda getting up slowly from the couch. "Where are you going Amanda?"

"Home sir. I need to lay down and sleep. Since I haven't gotten much of it the past few weeks."

"Can you wait, I will order us breakfast and then you will be able to leave?" Billy asked with picking up the phone to call his favorite deli three blocks away from IFF that serves all types of breakfast.

"Sure, I will have breakfast with you, sir. I am very honored today." She said with sitting back down onto the couch to have him placing the orders over the phone. A moment later she had to get up with her bladder needing a released. Meanwhile Billy had made sure the person over the phone was able to get it right with the order and using the credit card payment that is on file with the deli for IFF.

"Thanks, how long will it be?" He needed to know with checking the time on the wall with the time difference overseas and thinking about his agent Scarecrow.

"Twenty five minutes, sir." The voice said calmly over the phone.

"Thank you, just let the courier know just where he needs to go, I will be waiting for the order in my office." Billy said before hanging up and Amanda coming back inside feeling better.
