Amanda dropped her mom and Phillip off at the airport. She'd stayed up talking to her mom until close to midnight for the third night in a row. Even though they'd lived together since the boys were little, it felt like they had 100 years of catching up to do. But, Amanda didn't have too long to dwell on it. She had to go put this car in her storage parking and get her work car out. She would meet Lee at the Agency before they left for their own flight.

When Dotty and Phillip arrived in Oklahoma City, Francine picked them up disguised in dark hair and a travel guide outfit. She escorted them to her car, and they began their drive. Francine found Ms. West much easier to talk to then she had imagined. Dotty's rambles reminded her of Amanda but there was something else about Dotty that reminded Francine of her own mother.

About halfway to their first destination, Francine stopped the car at a beautiful scenic overlook. "Let's get out and stretch our legs." Francine deliberately left her cell phone in the car. She marveled that even she could be swept up in the scenery. As they walked, Francine began to share her secret. "Ok, I don't want to alarm you here. I've actually cooked with Ms. Welch but Amanda has taught me everything I need to know about cooking. And, we've met before Ms. West though I'm not sure if you would remember. This is actually a wig and I'm really blonde. Everyone is safe, so please don't let this surprise scare you. You see, the gig is up. Huh, I guess in so many ways for you and for me, and the two we mutually care about." She smiled. "Yesterday, Lee shared a little something with me that I don't think he meant to given the context of our conversation. Did you know he's always wanted to go camping with you guys?"

Phillip smiled, "really?"

Phillip and Dotty weren't quite sure whether to believe all that this woman was telling them or not. Dotty did think she looked familiar and took that as a good sign. The only thing that assured Phillip was that the woman seemed to think Lee loved them very much. He knew his parents had been very careful to not let anyone know that and he hoped that meant this woman was close to them and had their best interests at heart, but still he wished Jaime was there.

"Yeah, he let it slip and it gave me an idea, a secret to keep from them. I'm going to drop you off in McAllister. Jaime, though he doesn't know it yet, is going to take you to my husband and I's cabin near Broken Bow. As for the secret duo, well, let's just say they are on a wild goose chase I've hatched up that will lead them right to all of you. The cabin is safe and you'll be able to talk freely then. But, until then, none of us can mention our plan or our knowledge of each other as a precaution. We'd better get back to the car and get on the road. Besides, I left my cell phone in there and I should be getting a call any minute now. Ms. West, when I get to the car, I'm going to give you an envelope, when you see Lee and Amanda, will you give it them, it will help assure them that you are safe."

Francine's phone was ringing as they reached the car. Francine gave Dotty an envelope and then took the call. She smiled at Dotty and Phillip. "How was your flight Lee?" She listened as Lee told them about what they'd done since they'd left D.C.

"Listen, I talked to an informant this morning that wants to talk to the two of you in private. The informant wants to meet you in a cabin where the informant's staying with her grandsons. I'll send over the directions. Oh, Lee, there's my other line, gotta go. You two be careful."

Francine sent an email to Lee and Amanda smiling at Dotty and Phillip who were smiling back at her. Though, Francine could tell they were a little leery of all this. She couldn't blame them. They'd just found out about Lee and Amanda's secret lives, the dangers they'd faced, and cautioned of the dangers that may still be lurking. She hoped she hadn't scared them too bad but knew they'd feel better once they saw Jaime.

Before Francine could walk back to the car, Dotty peaked at the envelope. There she found a picture of Francine with a note on the back to Lee. But there was also a sticky note that read, "I thought you might peak, Ms. West. It's fine. Do you remember the woman with chimpanzee?"

Dotty looked at Phillip, "We're going to be just fine."

"We've got about another hour to go until we reach McAllister," Francine said as she started the car.

Dotty continued to make small talk with Francine though now she seemed to have a thousand burning questions that she just couldn't ask. All the questions were killing her; she hoped maybe she'd get some when she finally got to spend some time with her daughter. The time passed by so quickly.

Meanwhile, Lee was getting more aggravated by the minute. They had rented an SUV and were on their way to meet this informant. "Why did Francine send us these instructions in this old code?"

"Maybe she wanted to make sure they were secure through the cell phone lines? Or maybe this here is a way at getting back at us? Besides, you were the first to invoke the old code this week."

"Yeah, I guess you have a point. Well, at least we can enjoy the scenery on the way."

As Francine pulled the car into the rest area, Francine instructed Dotty and Phillip to stay in the car. Dotty thanked her, "I hope your chimpanzee is ok when you get back." Dotty and Francine exchanged a knowing glance.

Francine walked over to where Jaime was to meet her. "Are you enjoying your time in Oklahoma?" Francine asked.

"This is a remarkable view." Jaime replied with the next sequence in the prescribed recognition code.

"Maybe you should take a tour of the area." Francine completed the rest of the recognition code. "Here, in my bag, I have some tour information you." Francine handed Jaime an envelope containing information about the security at the cabin and a few other small details. Agent King, you will find the family over there. You must not reveal your true identity until you arrive at the cabin where things will be secure."

Francine proceeded to the car Jaime had driven. Agent King proceeded to the car but stopped a few strides from the car. He struggled to keep the perplexed look off his face. Inside, Dotty and Phillip smiled back at him and then started laughing. Jaime got into the driver's seat and began to follow the driving directions that he'd been given.

"Did you know that nice woman we met used to have a chimpanzee? She said she often had a difficult time getting someone to pet sit." Dotty said.

Jaime smiled when he saw his Grandmother's smile in the rearview window. "So, we have a while until we reach our destination. I don't know if you want to take a nap or just take in the view."

They rode in silence the rest of the way. None of them were sure how to continue the conversation without making it abundantly clear they knew each other. Although the drive was beautiful, it seemed like forever before they parked the car and headed up the hill to the cabin.

Halfway up the hike to the cabin, they embraced. "Did you know that," Phillip paused and choked up, "dad, always wanted to go camping with us?"

"That nice woman apparently works at IFF," Dotty said making quotation marks in the air when she said 'IFF'. "I've met her before."

"Yes, I've met her before. Gosh, I bet they had to run some circles to make sure I didn't run into Lee and Mom when I was at IFF. Apparently from what I'm reading here, this is her cabin. When we get up there, I'm going to do a perimeter look out. . . just stay close to me. Then, when I go in the cabin, you two wait outside for a few seconds while I go through all the security measures. Any idea when the guests of honor will arrive?"

"No, she said something about a wild goose chase, apparently this is our secret to keep from them until they arrive."

The cabin felt like a quiet place to relax in a beautiful setting. It was well equipped but very comfortable and unassuming. There was a large wrap-around porch. Just outside of the cabin, there was a clear blue creek. They shook off the jet lag and road trip as they relaxed in the cabin.
