[Serena is leafing through some papers]
Serena:
Out of curiosity, what is in Rowena Ivy's burial plot? You know the one that Division supposedly placed her in after the fire?
Amanda:
For the last five years it's held the remains of Rowena Ivy herself.
Serena:
What?!
Amanda:
When we faked your death, I went in search of the real Rowena Ivy. Just in case she decided to come out of hiding. I couldn't let her blow our cover.
Serena:
You canceled her?
Amanda:
It wasn't my original intent. I had planned on giving her something valuable enough to keep her out of Division's sight. But before I could even offer, she became hostile. It was self defense.
[Serena is reading Amanda's eyes during this]
Serena:
So you just put her body in her rightful grave.
Amanda:
Seemed only fitting. And the last place that Division would look too.
Serena:
True.
[Bus pulls up outside of the house, Serena gets up and heads to the front door opening it]
Serena:
You're about to meet Mara.
Mara:
Mommy! Look what I did in school today!
[shows picture]
Serena:
That's great sweetie.
[Mara sees Amanda]
Serena:
This is Amanda. She's an old friend. I haven't seen her since before you were born.
Mara[shyly]:
Hi.
Amanda:
Hello.
Mara:
Are you going to be staying with us?
[Amanda looks to Serena for an answer]
Serena:
For a little while. Do you have homework.
Mara:
Just show and tell tomorrow. The letter is A. Hey, Amanda starts with A. Can I bring you[to Amanda]?
Serena:
Maybe you should bring something that's not a living person.
Mara[disappointed]:
Okay.
Serena:
Why don't you go look in your room for something that might work.
Mara:
OK.
[Mara leaves]
Serena[whispers jokingly to Amanda]:
Amanda the Agent Assassin. Kids would've had a field day with that one.
Amanda[slyly grins]:
You sure you want me staying here.
Serena:
As long as you're sure no one knows you're here.
Amanda:
We can never be too sure of that.
Serena:
It'll be fine for now.
[pause]
Meanwhile, I think I have an idea of where Gogol will be headed next. And if I'm right, based on what you've told me about Division these days, they'll be in pursuit of this one.
Amanda:
Where's that?
Serena:
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Amanda:
NORAD.
Serena:
Yeah. I believe there is supposed to be an inspection next week, led by the president herself. Gogol is probably in preparation for then.
Amanda:
Looks like I'm headed to Colorado.
Serena:
You have a few days to plan. Why don't you stay at least until tomorrow. We can work on it a little more.
Amanda:
Fine.
