Matt followed the driveway up towards the house. He could remember from looking at the house plans earlier in the day that there was some sort of garage but he didn’t know whether Amelia was meant to park there or not? Was this her car or had she borrowed it from Pedro? Should she just park out the front? “Where do you think I should go?” he asked ‘Melody’
“Maybe just pull up near the front entrance. You can be dropping me off. I assume ‘Amelia’ is heading back to her own place. At least being my lawyer, you have an excuse to return here in the morning, I’ll ask for you to come”
“Where is my place?” asked the new Amelia.
“I would assume the address on your drivers licence”
Matt felt silly. He had not even thought to look up Amelia’s address. And an even worse thought - Did she live with her fiancé? However before he could dwell for long he said “Oh uh. Looks like a reception committee”
People were coming out the front door of the house. Matt recognised Pedro, John and Tony. They walked to the driveway and stood there waiting for the Porsche to pull up. At least Matt now knew where to park. He eased the vehicle to a standstill. He guessed they wanted to greet Melody. If she was the big boss’s daughter then her being free was no doubt a big deal.
….
When Matt stopped the car, the men stepped forward. Pedro opened the passenger seat and took 'Melody's hand to help her out of the low seat. He greeted her with a kiss on the cheek and said "We are very happy to see you released senora"
Matt was hesitant about getting out of the car himself. What if they recognised him as a fraud? Surely he would make a fatal slip up. he wasn't even a proper agent. He was still sitting behind the wheel when the door opened and Pedro reached in and clasped his arm. Matt had no choice but to get out. Like 'Melody he was greeted with a cuddle and a kiss on the cheek.
Tony meanwhile was passing some sort of electronic device over 'Melody' matt watched as some sort of transmitter was found. He removed something quite tiny from the hem of 'Melody's' skirt. He then moved across to Matt and another bug under the collar of Amelia's jacket. Matt had not known about the bug placed in the jacket (Dave having placed it there as Matt was changing).
Pedro noticed the genuine surprise on Matt’s (really Amelia’s) face that a bug had been found on him "They will take the tiniest opportunity to harrass us. We must always stay alert" Pedro then turned to Tony. "Scan the car and any belongings" Matt observed Tony retrieving Amelia's handbag from the vehicle. “They are out to get us”
