At the agency everything was ready for Kruschenko's interrogation, Amanda and Lee had arrived early, had studied the latest documents and now awaited the arrival of the Russian who would be accompanied by the escort that the government had provided.

The Q office team was standing in the coffee break station, Lee was talking to Billy, while Amanda was talking to Fred and Geremy, Francine was strangely on the sidelines, not talking to anyone and her face was puzzled when she decided to open her mouth to say what was going through her head, Kruscenko arrived.

"Mrs. King, I see you again with pleasure, how are you?" , He approached her to shake her hand, Lee immediately approached to protect her from anything, but Amanda was very calm and shook Kruscenko's hand, "I'm fine thank you, I hope your daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter are fine too ", Kruschenko smiled," but they sure look great. "

They made their way to the room Lee had set up for interrogation, of course there would be a mirrored glass between them and a microphone to hear everything that was said.

Amanda was now sitting in front of the old Russian spy and her bodyguard, smiling they began to talk about this and that, Kruschenko was calm talking about his family and had no regrets for his life in Russia, he loved living in America and was looking forward to cooperating with the agency.

Beyond the glass Lee paced back and forth in his typical form of nervousness and worry, his instincts would not let him be, yet everything was going well, what the hell was that feeling running through his bones? he had felt this way alone a couple of times in his life, when his partner was killed and when he found out about Eve's betrayal, no it was no good at all.

Amanda continued in her class c interrogation, she quietly came to ask the Russian what he was willing to reveal to the US government in exchange for a new life and a new identity, Kruschenko leaned forward to Amanda "my dear, I'm in possession of some documents that can reveal the identity of some people near the White house, who play the double game ", he laughed terrible," you did not expect that right?, Is this information enough for my new life? ".

Amanda's eyes widened, something in the movements of Kruschenko's bodyguard had troubled her, a feeling of danger took hold of her, what was it? What had he noticed? She was not sure, "Mr. Kruscenko, what you are saying is very important for the safety of our president, I will speak with Dr. Smith and then I will let you know how we can proceed to an appropriate and beneficial exchange for both of us", the Russian smiled and Amanda felt a shiver go through her body.

They got up and while they were saying goodbye Lee entered who quickly stood next to Amanda as if to protect her, Kruschenko laughed, turned and gestured to his bodyguard and they all left the room.

They were all in Billy's office, everyone was talking to each other, at one point Francine raised her voice, "Lee what do you think? I see you are very nervous, what is it what did you notice?", The scarecrow stopped a moment to look at the team, "my instinct tells me not to trust absolutely, something is wrong, and I'm afraid that Kruschenko wants to use Amanda to cheat us in some way", Fred interjected, "I too had a bad feeling, I talked about it with Geremy before, I am not convinced at all by this story of secret documents ", Billy looked at Amanda who in the meantime had sat on a chair at the back of her office," Amanda?, Amanda? Mrs. King?, Amanda? .. ... "

Amanda roused herself from her thoughts, "huh? Oh! Excuse me sir, I was thinking of the smile", everyone looked at her, "whose smile? Said Francine?", "No nothing, as not said sorry, it's a thought that I have to investigate ", and so saying he placed a lock of hair behind one ear," ha ha !!!! " Suddenly Francine said, everyone turned to look at her with a questioning look, but she turned to the scarecrow, "Lee I never thought in my life to see such a thing", "what", he said in surprise, becoming defensive, "you have asked the housewife to marry you right?, Otherwise I can't explain that diamond on Amanda's finger! ".

Lee and Amanda looked at each other surprised, they hadn't told anyone about the wedding and Amanda had kept the ring on her finger at the behest of Lee, he didn't want to hide their love he had said it clearly, but they never thought Francine would leave. noticed so quickly, they approached and Lee took Amanda's hand, looked at her gently and proudly declared, that he had asked her to become his wife as soon as possible leaving everyone speechless, of course they knew that the two loved each other, but even the wedding, the scarecrow then.

In the silence that followed this declaration, a very unpleasant voice came in that everyone hated, Dr. Smith with his cigarette and his cynical gaze had entered the room, without anyone noticing, "well well well, what have we here, a couple of lovers, a little housewife and a rebellious agent who love each other, you know true that this is against my rules?, Love interferes in the work, it is a feeling that does not let the brain think clearly, I will take some action on you two after closing the Kruschenko case, now my dear Mrs. King, I am waiting for your report on my desk by tomorrow morning, "he walked out of Billy's office with a wry, mean smile that didn't bode well.

Lee held Amanda in his arms forgetting to be in Billy's office with the whole team, "Honey don't worry, no one can ever separate me from you, I promise", he kissed her softly.

"Okay guys !!! Get out of here! I'm waiting for a report from each of you for tomorrow morning !!, Lee and Amanda! This is an office all out!", I winked at the two and opened the drawer where he kept his precious stomach medicines and took one.
