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.”

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
