When the door unlocked all on its own, Lily Serenity Evans grabbed her bat and planned to smack the intruder with it. At least, that was the bullet-proof plan until he caught the bat and threw it to the side. 

"Your game is getting weaker, Falcon," he commented. 

She jumped into his open arms. 
"You know you'll have to tell me everything." 

"I know," he whispered back. "Now, just let me... this is nice." 

"You haven't slept either?"

"No time when our son is somewhere," and he spilled to her everything he knew - including his encounter with Evelyn Harper King. 

"We'll need a meeting," she muttered. 

"I know," he sighed, letting her down slowly. He led her to the couch and lay on top of her. "Can we just sit here for a bit?" 

She started playing with his hair in response. 
"You need a haircut. And a shave."

"My mother's words: this hair is untameable." 

"But it can be cut," she argued. 

He mumbled against her lap something. 

"What?"

"I love you," he smiled up at her. 

She kissed his nose. 
"I love you too."

"But?" he read her well. 

"But we have to call the meeting, James."

"I know, Lily," James stood up, he extended his arm toward her. "I miss Bambi too, believe me-"

"I believe you. He's your son, too." 

"He has your eyes."

"And his first birthday is today." 

They didn't want to think of their son spending his first birthday without his parents, so they busied themselves with work just like any spy would do.

By the time they were able to round everyone up - after lunch - and explain the story, it was nearing the evening. 

"That bitch," Marlene McKinnon was not afraid to say it out loud, but she was not the only one with that thought in her mind. 

"What's the plan?" 

"Moony. Padfoot. I want you both to check out her room," James gave out the order. 

"Tigger too," Lily added. 

"Look for anything that would be worth it. Cobra and Hunter, I want you to compare the files of Ophelia and Evelyn, at least the ones we have. See if there is anything that matches that we may have missed somehow."

"We'll look into fingerprints," Alice Longbottom nodded. 

"Mega help them out. Look into medical histories," Lily added.

"Puma and Wormtail, look into mission reports and similar files. See the records and catch if anything's missing."

"You think she'd take her mission reports?"

"Leave with no crumbs behind?" asked James. "Yeah. From what I've learned, that sounds exactly like something King would do." 

"What about you two?"
