Feeling the plane level out at cruising altitude, Lee Stetson folded
up his large frame. He tried to recline in his seat, hoping to get
somewhat comfortable for the long flight back to D.C. and maybe if he
was lucky he'd catch a few hours of sleep.
Lee leaned his head back thinking about the events of the past few
days. Amanda had been on a simple courier assignment in Germany. All
she had to do was deliver an envelope. He chuckled thinking of what
unfolded instead. Only she could get herself arrested for passing
counterfeit twenties. Never in recorded history had that happened
before.
He shook his head, wondering how a simple housewife had gotten under
his skin. It was downright SPOOKY how one fateful October morning
his life was changed by a woman wearing a NIGHTGOWN. Amanda confused
him, yet intrigued him too. She was like salt water taffy—the more he
pushed and pulled—the bigger sticky-GOOEY mess she became. Yet she
was loyal and faithful to him. He thought about them walking down the
streets in Tegernsee. She'd showed more concern for his career and
reputation then her plight. Telling him `it's just not fair.'
"Hey, whoever promised you FAIR?" he'd asked her.
"Nobody. I just keep expecting it," she'd mumbled.
Yes, that was his Amanda, always looking for the sliver lining. She
really was something. And once again she proved to be invaluable and
helped break-up the counterfeiting ring, fingering Harry.
Lee ran his hand through his hair and took a deep breath. Shaking his
head again he thought maybe one day he would figure her out, but for
now he had other plans and if he played his CARDS right next weekend
he would be in the Pocono’s.
