Scarecrow and Mrs. King

Desperate Measures

Chapter Two

Amanda King after an hour of gathering her belongings headed to China. She had been shown the passports that looked exactly the real thing, along with the maps, money and so much more so that she and the others would be able to get into Bangkok, China to meet with the series of sources to get closer to Lee Stetson.

Yawning slightly. She needed a hot cup of coffee before heading into the living room to check out all the cool gadgets developed by her company and others involved.

She had been thinking so much about Lee Stetson and how she had first met him during a strange case. She had no idea that she would become an agent in a few years and liked it a great deal.

During the past 12 years, she has been shot three times. The one time she had been shot in the right leg and shoulder to keep her out of work for almost three months. Even Philip, Paul, and Lee were worried about her and how she behaved.

Damion had everything laid out on the coffee table that had been in her family for a very long time.

"Here we go Amanda, I will show you the weapons we will have on hand." He advised her as with his wife Francine.

Amanda had been scared of guns over the years. However, she was able to control her fear by talking to a therapist at times at work. Doctor Margaret Siles was able to help her with the fear. Doctor Siles has been with the company for almost 25 years and has helped a great many of the agents.

Damion will slowly do everything that was on the table including placing internal plugs in her ears to hear everyone along the way. This included Damion, Francine, and Amanda.

"This is the map that was given to me. A source of mine had told me that the Chinese underground had been moving Lee Stetson, Woo Lee Chin, and his family to the mountains called Khao Khiao Massif."

Amanda had to choke a little when she thought that she would be doing some mountain climbing. "These mountains that we are going. Are they extremely dangerous?" she asked seriously with the question.

Damion looked over at Francine to say the following. "No, but only the Chinese army will be trying to stop us from getting at Lee and his group." HE RESPONDED WITH THE TRUTH.

"Everything is here. Myself and Francine will be packing up the suitcases once we reach Washington, D.C. International Airport, the stopover in England, and then finally to China. It's going to be rough for the first few days before reaching our destination." He tells her sitting in front of the glass coffee table.

"I understand Damion. I am ready to go now. After we stop for coffee and sandwiches before reaching the airport." Amanda said.

"Sure. Our flight won't be leaving for another three hours. It's going to give us a chance to eat before boarding the flight." Damion remarked with Francine finishing up the last of the items needed for the trip.

Just outside of Shanghai village in China.

Lee Stetson was beginning to come around after being put through a series of tests on his brain and other parts of his body. He's been in a great deal of pain while he's been kidnapped by the Chinese underground.

He's been trying to help out Woo Lee Wong with getting out of the country along with his wife and daughters.

He still doesn't know how he and his group were able to get caught by them. He told Wong not to say a word to them while he was able to figure out how to get out of China and head for the United States.

He heard a woman's voice making his brain think it was Amanda. When in fact it was a villager named Su Lee living with them for all of her 25 years. She had wiped down his brow with a light towel from the humidity of the area they were living.

She spoke English to him. She had been going to the local schools in Shanghai. She will say to Lee the following. "Lee please try and stay still until your body can recover from the drugs that were given to you during the past week." She responded with a frown showing on her brownish skin.

Lee will cry out the following to the woman. "Where is Woo Lee Chin and his family?" He tried to move off the small cot that he had been lying on for the past seven days.

She will say the following to her prisoner. "They have been moved to another location. I am not at liberty to be giving you the information. Otherwise, you're going to be next to leave before the United States agents come after you, Lee Stetson." She tells him with a hint of foreboding.

Screaming out loud towards the woman with two needles in her hands that are going to be injected into his both arms. It was going to be two drugs to check what type of side effects his body is going to be like. She and the others involved have no idea just what the two drugs will be doing to him overall.

She had been getting ready to inject the needles. When two of her associates arrived from the underground.

"Stop, Su Lee!" Sung Woo cried out at the woman. "Soldiers from the United States will be arriving here within the hour. We need to move Lee Stetson to the other location. Do you understand me, Su Lee?"

She had placed the two needles onto the tray to have the two with her having been silent to remove Stetson from the cart.

She was speaking in her native tongue explaining to them that they needed to make sure he was tied up properly and moved out of the village.

Sung Woo understood the situation very well. Since Lee Stetson was a very expensive commodity to their country and mostly the underground. Both the men inside the room had moved Stetson onto the cart and other vehicles to get out of the village before the soldiers arrived.
