At dinner they talked about some of the things they'd like to do on their vacation. Lee and the boys really wanted to get plenty of fishing in. For Amanda, spending some time catching up with her mother was her highest priority. When they'd finished eating, they gathered around the box that Lee had brought in from the car.

"Francine packed some cases she thought you all might be interested in. All but two are declassified, but as victims in those cases, you have the right to see them. It still doesn't mean you can share the details of these other cases- because we still have to keep our family secrets," Amanda explained.

"Ms. West, Mom," Lee corrected himself, "I know you love spy novels. Your daughter has solved many cases with some idea sparked by a book you or she was reading at the time. You'll love this one, that's the case where we met. The one with the so called Ms. Welch. Just keep in mind, I had no idea just what a jewel I'd found in your daughter."

"Lee, I never asked you this and I've thought about asking several times since you and mom told us your secrets. Was that you at the gym that day when that guy tried to kidnap us?"

Lee smiled, "yeah. Francine actually brought that case. Your dad really helped the people of Estacio in that case."

"My dad?"

"Yup." Lee laughed, "And I ended up drugging the Prime Minister on accident, well I did it deliberately but it was by accident. I didn't know it was the Prime Minister. But you won't read that in the case file. That case is right here. It's still confidential because it involves you all."

Dotty and the boys took some time to look over the cases and ask questions that they'd been wanting to ask. Lee and Amanda willingly answered every question honestly only keeping from them what remained classified. It was difficult to talk about how they'd been assigned a case that a good friend had begun years ago in England in 2011- how they hadn't been around to help stop the terrorist attacks. But, as Amanda told them about Emily Farnsworth, or at least a little bit about her, she made them laugh when she told them how the agency had fixed the grocery store contest that sent them to Munich. They talked for hours on end. Yet, it didn't feel like the interrogation that Lee thought it would have been like. Instead it was like catching up with family and friends. He was beginning to feel just what it was like to be a part of his family.

Late that night, after everyone else had retired to bed, Amanda was washing some dishes when Lee snuck outside. He tapped on the back door window and watched as Amanda smiled. She tip-toed out the door in exaggerated steps as if she was sneaking around. Lee wrapped his arms around her kissing her. "Hey," he said huskily. "It's been a long time since I got to do that."

"Too long," she smiled as Lee lead her over to the porch swing. As she curled into Lee, she thought about all the things that had happened since she'd first met him. In her husband's arms with her secrets out in the open with her family and her closest friends, she felt a peace she'd never really known.

Lee laughed lightly as he heard a train off in the distance. "I can't believe I'm sitting her with my wife as my family sleeps inside. I thought this day would never come- like it was just a distant train I could never catch."

"You know we were destined for this very moment when there were all those red hats."
