sped away. Seconds
later the luxury fishing yacht exploding into a million pieces. The
concussion could be felt for hundreds of yards.
    “I can never thank
you people enough,” said the relieved diplomat as he exuded
gratitude. “Anytime I can do anything for any of you, please do
not hesitate to tell me!”
    “He is a man of much
influence,” added his adoring spouse. “When he says he
can help you with anything, he means it!”
    “Thank you. We're
just glad we could save your whole family. We got lucky this time.
Besides, we were well paid,” said Alexei.
    At the end of the day, the
diplomat and his family returned home. The others stayed to unwind
and enjoy a sunset walk along one of the Florida beaches. A few
lingering clouds made it even more scenic and memorable.

    Shortly after returning to
Chicago, the sisters got the call from Peter that they had been
waiting for. Financing for the rogue agent movie had been secured and
they both were needed in Hollywood as soon as possible.
    A few days later as the
pair sat together in their dressing area of the studio going over the
script, several men in suits approached.
    “Karlee Kingston, I'm
FBI Special Agent Charles Tibbals. This is Special Agent Ibarreta.”
    “How can I help you
gentleman?”
    “We're investigating
the killing of Lieutenant Governor Wallace from Illinois,” he
revealed in a menacing manner. “We've retrieved digital voice
prints from the scene. Our computers routinely search the digital
universe for matches in such cases.”
    Kristie's face began to
reveal a look of grave concern. Karlee's remained emotionless.
    “And?” Karlee
asked.
    “And we have an
eighty percent match on your audio track from the scene you two
played together in that long-lost twin TV episode. You've become a person-of interest .”
    “Eighty percent isn't
a lot,” said her sister dismissively.
    The agent continued, “We'd
like you to come downtown with us, take a lie detector test and
provide us details of your whereabouts that night.”
    “No thank you, sir.”
    “It's not a request,
Miss Kingston.”
    “First of all, I have
no idea what night that was, and when you will tell me, I'll have no
memory of my whereabouts on any given night from such a long time
ago. Secondly, a lie detector test could pick up false indications
from some childhood memory, erroneously implicating me. It could only
serve to get an innocent girl like me into more trouble. Thirdly, an
eighty percent correlation isn't enough for you to get a warrant,
otherwise you'd have one. I'm sorry you wasted your time, gentlemen,
but I must ask you to now leave us alone as we have lines to
rehearse.”
    “Don't leave town,
miss. You'll be hearing from us again very soon!” The two
agents were clearly agitated as they departed.
    “Karlee, I like the
way you handled those men. You certainly have no shortage of lawyers
if you need them. There's Carlton, or any of your old classmates, or
what about that guy who was one of the extras? Bob, wasn't it?”
    “I'd kind of like to
keep the chapter with Carlton a closed one, and I haven't kept touch
with any classmates from law school. I don't know anything about Bob.
Hopefully things won't even go that far.”
    “Let's call that
diplomat. Maybe he can help get them off our back!”
    “I don't even know
who he was, Kristie. I'm calling Alexei. With his connections, he can
surely help.”
    He got back to her the next
morning.
    “Karlee, that
diplomat you helped save is actually a Director with the government
agency that covertly handles black ops for our country. Such activity
is never officially acknowledged as they want plausible deniability.
That's why the government was willing to pay so much to get him and
his family rescued.”
    “I didn't even know
it was the government who had contracted us, Alexei.”
    “You've helped out
Uncle Sam more than once, hon.”
    “Wow, I had no idea.”
    “The man was so
impressed with how you handled yourself that
