Death's Dagger

Amanda and Andrew Tomas walked into the barge. “Oh, thank the gods you’re alright!” Diana exclaimed as she hugged Amanda.

“Well of course.” Amanda said hugged Diana back “Trust me it takes a lot to stop this girl.”

“Yea well you weren’t the one being shot at.” Joe stated “Well, Andrew I guess introductions are in order. You already our lovely Amanda. This is Duncan MacLeod, Diana Mathews and Adam Pierson.”

“Ah yes, I should have guessed our fore most authority on Methos would be caught up on all this.” Andrew stated

Methos smiled as he shook hands “Yes well I’m always looking for the next big lead, although it is former authority. I’m sure the new fellow is doing just fine.”

“That’s right you’re Duncan’s student now, are you not?” Andrew asked obviously thrilled at the chance to talk to the immortals.

“Well I’m a quick study so he lets me out every so often.” Methos said with a smirk.

“And I am sorry my dear but I have not heard of you, Ms. Mathews.” Andrew stated as he took her hand and placed a kiss on it.

Diana blushed as she pulled away. “I’m not an immortal I’m here with Adam.” She stated and put her hand in his.

Methos moved closer and put his arm around Diana. “She’s being modest, I’m a very lucky man to have found someone as qualified as she is in ancient languages and history.” Adam stated proudly.

“A very lucky man indeed.” Andrew said then turned serious. “So do we know anything about the scoundrels that broke into my house and killed one of my employees?”

“No, not yet but we’re looking into it.” Joe said

“Andrew sweetheart I think maybe you should go somewhere safe for a little while.” Amanda suggested

“I hear Bora Bora is nice this time of year.” Methos offered helpfully.

“Thank you for your concern but I will be fine.” Andrew assured them. “So where do we go from here.”

Duncan looked over at Methos “Oh no. I do not need another mortal to worry about. We appreciate the use of your chalice, but we cannot let you put yourself in harm’s way. Especially since we know there is someone willing to kill to stop us.” Duncan stated firmly.

“How about this you can coordinate Intel with the watchers. You, Joe and Amanda can set up our base of operations at the bar that way you can bring body guards in and nobody will be the wiser. Everyone will just think their bouncers.” Adam offered

“Since I can tell you are not going to budge for now, I will accept your suggestion. Especially since I will be working with the lovely Amanda.” Andrew conceded

After Amanda herded the two watchers out the door Duncan slumped down on the couch. “So now what?” He asked tiredly
