Hello everybody, Grey Fool here with a new chapter.

First of all, thank you to those who have reviewed and to my beta, who is helping me stay on track with these characters.

As always, I don't own these characters. They belong to Shoot the Moon.

Last Week: Amanda and Lee finally talked and some questions have been answered but not all…and they were also shot at.

Back to the bad guys. Again I'm sorry for the short chapter, but these bad guys don't seem to like long scenes.

Please r&r and enjoy the story.

Khusbakht slammed his hand against the desk. "How could you miss the woman?"

Both Tom and Dan winced but Dan spoke first. "Sir, that man was there talking to her. He protected her from our shots."

Khusbakht turned away and mumbled. "Could the rumors be true? Could that woman be…"

"Tom interrupted Khusbakht's thoughts. "Sir, maybe we should forget those two. We can still escape if we leave…"

Khusbakht whirled around. "Absolutely not. We cannot leave any evidence we were ever here. And that includes the man and woman. Capture them both and bring them here, tonight."

Tom and Dan looked at each other with grim faces but nodded in compliance and left.

Khusbakht sighed. "Scarecrow, Scarecrow. The rumors are true than. You have a new partner." He chuckled, "Well, not only will I utterly destroy you, but I will immensely enjoy the look of horror on your face when I take your partner and break both her body and soul.

Okay this guy has some serious issues with Lee…why? Well you'll have to wait and see on that one. Just so you know the rating is not going to change on this story.

Just so that everyone knows, I'm going to air on the side of caution and up the rating to an 'M' starting with the next chapter. There is not going to be any rape in this story(I won't take the characters that far), but what Khusbakht has planned for Amanda and will describe in a few chapters is going to be somewhat graphic.

I'm just letting people know what the plans are for this story.

until next week, please r&r and have a wonderful day.

Next time on Scarecrow and Mrs King: Weathering Revenge: "What are you doing?"
