Lee was waiting for Major Frank Wen Woo finishing up his orders with his marines to bring the terrorists to the safely net section to hold them until the transports arrive to bring them to the proper authorities for questioning and imprisonment.

He was waiting inside the first truck that he was going to be heading for the airport the marines will be taking. He was very much anxious to arrive home to his wife Amanda. Looking up into the sky with the sun beginning to move down over the horizon making it easier to handle the heat and humidity.

Moments later Major Woo came over. "All right Scarecrow , you're set to leave now for the airport. Your things have been gathered up at the Communications center and being brought to the airport to join you. Good luck and thanks for helping us out a great deal with the operation. Now that all of the terrorists have been arrested. It's less things I need to worry about for protecting this region and other countries." He said calmly without much emotion in his demeanor.

"Your welcomed! I just hope I don't have to do something like this for a long time to come." Lee says with finishing up the last of his water from the canteen.

"You will be home before you know it Scarecrow. I wish you all the best with the rest of your life. " He shook his hand before waving on the truck to began moving with heading for the airport.

Donald Taylor was glad they finally landed three hours later in California with his two watchdogs agents Tim Reids and Efrem. His wrists were sore as hell with the cuffs needing to come off him. Agent Reids told his client that they weren't going to come off until they reach the Van Nuys safehouse some ten miles from the Air Force base.

Moving out of the terminal to head outside. A black SUV was waiting for them to take them to their destination. Agent Efrem took over with the driving chores that was going to take an hour or so in traffic to the Van Nuys safehouse. "Relax Mr. Taylor, it won't be long now." Agent Reids sitting next to him in the back seat.

It was getting to be around nine o'clock in the morning the next day. Amanda King was anxious resting on the couch in the living room. When Billy had called her with the news that Lee's flight was going to land an hour ago. She had fallen asleep without realizing when she felt a hand on her belly.

"Hey!" She opened her eyes to see those eyes of her husband's smiling down at her.

"Hey! Yourself, Amanda. Boy! Are you a sight to be just beautiful. As with the unborn child." He stated with continuing to keep his hand on her bulging stomach. "How have I missed this a great deal Amanda. I am just damn glad to be home with you." He bends down to plant a bruising kiss on her dry lips.

"I think Lee, we need to move this to the bedroom before someone catches us in the act of something." Amanda said with a blush showing up on her cheeks... He helped her up from the couch making sure that she doesn't fall. She fell into his embrace to kiss him harder before breaking it off to lead him to the stairs and to the bedroom...

The end or the beginning of a new adventure...
