Hondo actually slept for 5 hours. He liked more and was used to more, but on this mission his body and mind did not allow long sleepin' periods and he smelled somethin' really good.  Hondo got right up out of bed, holstered his gun and slipped on a pair of moccasins he kept for time when he needed to not be heard. He walk over to Rosie's door and knocked softly, when no answer was heard he opened it slightly. She had told him if He woke first to wake her right away as well. He silently walked to her side. She looked like an angel as she lie there asleep. he sat on a chair beside her bed and just looked at her for a few minutes. he knew she'd be mad if she found out he was awake and didn't wake her. He brushed the red/gold, curly locks from her forehead and kissed it softly. Hondo I. Sackett may be hard, to others as he was on himself, but there was a lot of gentleness hidden under his hard shell and he wanted to give it to the gal that he loved so much. she stirred a little, but didn't really wake up. He started rubbin' her neck and left shoulder as he spoke to her.
 
"Darlin', Time to get up. Waky, waky, as the brits say." Hondo said softly.
 
"Hmm . . . urgumm." Rose replied.
 
"now, i hate to wake you, but You told me to and I know you'll give it to me if I don't." Hondo said with a chuckle.
 
"mmm. Oh . . . *yawn* that feels good. how long did you sleep?" Rose asked her eyes still shut.
 
" 'bout 5 hours, almost 6." Hondo said.
 
"6!" Rose said as she popped awak and jumped out of bed, much to Hondo's surprise. "I hope it didn't burn!" Rose exclaimed as she ran out of the room and down the stairs. Hondo was right on her tail.
 
"slow down! Burn what?" Hondo asked. They got to the kitchen and Rose opened the oven fast and sighed a sigh of reliefe.
 
"Its still good." she said.
 
"What?" Hondo asked.
 
"I came down again right after you fell asleep and trough together some BBQ beef. I was gonna finish it after a nap, but I didn't plan to sleep that long, but no problem. its still fine. now I can finish the cole slaw and the beans." rose said.
 
"You need me to help?" Hondo asked.
 
"No! you did lunch,now I'm gonna do this for you and the others myself." Rose said.  
 
"OK, Darlin'. If you need me , I'm gonna seein' what Fernando is up to." Hondo said as he walked off in search of their flyin' squirrel leader.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Fernando heard much of the conversation downstairs between Rose and Hondo, and decided that things would be best of he sought out a bit of opened space privacy. After taking care of his needs, he walked over to his room to check on the printing of the list. Finding it done and waiting for him to retrieve it, Fernando continues onward to the attic stair case and up to the balcony. There he walks over to the front of the house and look out on the front yard and over to the highway just a few dozen feet from the house. Fernando takes to the edge of the top roof and climbs up onto its slope, continuing out onto the highest point of the building. There he just sits down and over looks the scenery from almost 50 feet above the ground, well hidden from view for anyone looking straight up.
 
It did not take Hondo too long that Fernando was not in his room or anyplace in the house as Fernando would have to have passed him in order to leave the building. He takes to the attic and balcony. But looking down the length of the balcony, Fernando could not be found on that side of the building. Looking out onto the parking lot, Hondo finds Fernando's Porsche, signifying that he has to still be on the compound's grounds somewhere. Hondo continues onward to the front of the house, again not finding Fernando in the immediate area. He continues to the opposite far side, not seeing him there either. Hondo looks around.
 
Hondo: Where in tarnation is he?
 
Hondo looks over the parking lot, expecting for Fernando to step out of his Porsche or something. Fernando quietly walks over to the rear of the room and looks down at Hondo after hearing him.
 
Fernando: Have you tried looking up?
 
Hondo flinches, grabbing onto his gun but refrains from drawing it. He then relaxes as he turns to him.
 
Hondo: What are you doing up there?
Fernando: Just needed some alone time, and since we squirrels are great climbers... you figure it out.
 
Hondo jumps up and picks himself upon to the slope of the roof and walks over to Fernando.
 
Hondo: We mice aint that bad in climbing either.
Fernando: Well- you are, compared to the rest of the population. What brings you up here?
 
Fernando starts to walk over to the front of the house, where he sits on the edge of the roof. Hondo follows and takes the other slope to sit on as they both look out into the highway.
 
Hondo:  Just want to know what's next on the agenda.
Fernando: Just a lot of issues and problems.
Hondo: Issues and problems?
Fernando: Yeah. I thought this was going to be a simple Rescue Tammy and get her into some fighting shape so she can continue with the SWA. Instead we are caught in the web as before of dealing with a national issue of a foreign country, and far as can see, what should be a simple 2 or 3 week mission looks like it may take months.
Hondo: I did not intended to stay here indefinitely.
Fernando: Neither do I.
Hondo: Is that all?
Fernando: No.
Hondo: Then spill it.
Fernando: Its you, Rose, Tammy, Bink and the others.
Hondo: Me and Rose?
Fernando: Look, no offense to you or her, but a relationship has no place in a mission. People are all around observing us, and if they see you two being close, they are going to figure that if them cant hurt you directly, they will hurt her to hurt you. That I don't want. Rose needs to be in some form of fighting shape.
Hondo: She was in the Navy.
Fernando: The military does not guarantee anyone to be in fighting form. Look just do me a couple of favors.
Hondo: What would that be?
Fernando: Aren't they obvious?
Hondo: I want to hear it from the horse's mouth- sorta speak.
Fernando: OK, from the Horses Mouth- Tea Biscuit in fourth race.
Hondo: Heh?
Fernando: Seriously, 1) Don't publicly show affection to her. Indoors, in the house or garage, OK. Out outside- people can see you two and take advantage of that.
Hondo: I'm sorry then for letting my guard down.
Fernando: No- its not your fault. We all been there and we all welcome it. I don't want anyone to go after her to get at you. Understood?
 
Hondo nods.
 
Fernando: Secondly- get Rose into some form of fighting form, like I am with Tammy. This way, if somebody has comes along to get her- she can fight back and you wont have to worry about her getting hurt.
 
Hondo nods before speaking.
 
Hondo: What about you and Tammy?
Fernando: It applies to me with her, just more so since this mission involves her.
Hondo: I hear the others talking about you two.
Fernando: Gossip talk?
Hondo: When its from men, its not necessarily gossip, but observations.
Fernando: Its gossip either way you look it Hondo. Now, what is it that they are saying?
Hondo: I don't like to repeat gossip... so listen carefully.
Fernando (rolling his eyes): OK... yeah?
Hondo: I over heard Hillshire and Marco saying something about Tammy having Florence Nightingale Syndrome, and having it bad. I don't know what is...
Fernando: Florence Nightingale Syndrome is when somebody gets rescued falls in love with their rescuer.
Hondo: So that makes a lot of sense, especially what Tammy has been saying to Rose and all that.
Fernando: I really don't want to know what she said to Rose.
Hondo: I think she wants to have your squirrel puppies.
Fernando: My answer is no.
Hondo: Sounds like you're in denial.
Fernando: And if I am?
Hondo: Its not my place to say, but she needs all the support she can in this.
Fernando: She has my support, as I can give it. But I can not reciprocate the kind of emotional commitment and attention she wants. At best I can do is give her the minimum of that.
Hondo: And why not?
Fernando: Missions and Love do not mix.
Hondo: And why not?
Fernando: People are after her and Bink. If I let my guard down to be emotionally attached to her- they are going to catch up to her and do her in deadly way I can not imagine. She would be killed, and I would have fail. Adding emotions to that will make it unbearable. Face it Hondo- how would you like it if somebody killed Rose?
Hondo (in a very cold tone): I would not like it at all.
Fernando: Imagine that I would feel the same.
Hondo: But you do love her, right?
Fernando: Lets get serious Hondo. I don't, I cant, and I will not love her while we are going through this mission. I-we can not allow emotions get the better of us, so as men, we have to turn off that part of ourselves and be robots in disguised.
Hondo: What about after the mission?
Fernando: What happens after the mission, we will have to get there first.
Hondo: I think I hear wedding bells.
Fernando: Maybe for you and Rose, in fact I can put in a good word with the Pope to get you two hitched.
Hondo: We're not Roman Catholics.
Fernando: But 99 percent of this country is. You two can go back to the cafe as a wedded couple, or if you want, wait to go back to the cafe and get married there. Mind you, I can not publicly step on American ground ever again.
Hondo: What are you trying to say?
Fernando: Nothing important. Is Rose cooking dinner for everyone of is this a private affair?
Hondo: I'm not sure. I thought it was for us two.
Fernando: That's fine. I'll empty the house and you two can have some privacy.
Hondo: You don't have to get out of your way on account of us.
Fernando: Its better that we do- so you and her can talk about what I told you. Just understand that I don't want her hurt, and if she is going to get hurt, at least have a fighting chance against those who would do her harm.
Hondo: OK.
Fernando: One more thing.
Hondo: What's that?
Fernando: In case the house gets attacked, there is a trap door emergency exit to the basement behind the wall in the back of the kitchen in the hall that leads to the first floor bedrooms and bathroom. To open it- leave the refrigerator, oven and microwave doors open and it will unlock the door. Open it, climb down the ladder and lock the door behind you. It will leave you by the tool shed in the basement. From there you can go to the sub basement and out the garage. Make sure to lock all the doors you open behind you.
Hondo: This is some place...
Fernando (to himself): I just to get away and think things out.
Hondo: Just don't go hurting Tammy.
Fernando: That's not my intention, but its going to happen anyway.
Hondo: Then do what you can not to allow it happen.
Fernando: I see no way out of it.
Hondo: There is, you just don't see it.
Fernando: Only way not to hurt her is to give her what she wants.
Hondo: And what's wrong with that?
Fernando: We're in a mission for one.
Hondo: I know that things happen during missions. I also know how stressful things can get on missions, so if something happens, let it happens.
Fernando: You wonder why James Bond is always chasing a skirt and drinking vodka martinis until his eyes turn red? It is how he deals with the stress and pressures  of being on a mission. I dont what to do that to Tammy, nor do I want her to do the same to me.
Hondo: So you do care about her then.
Fernando: Care- yes.
 
"And with Care comes Trust, then Attraction and then Love.", a soft female voice says from below (Rose). A ladder gets propped up against the roof, and Rose and Tammy  climbs up to the slope. Rose walks on over to Hondo and Tammy to Fernando.
 
Fernando: Swell, there goes my alone time.  
 
Rose sits next too Hondo and leans against him. He slides a bit away, making Rose think that there was something wrong.
 
Rose: Is there something wrong?
Hondo: You and I need to talk. But not now.
Rose: Oh?
Hondo: Lets leave the two squirrels alone...
 
Hondo Gets up and starts to walk to the ladder that the girls had placed up. He climbs 1/2 way down and helps Rose get her footing. Once on the balcony, Hondo takes the ladder with him to the attic.
 
Rose: Hey! They are going to need that to get back down!
Hondo: They're squirrels, Rose. Climbing up and down is what they do. Besides, trust me, they need to be left alone for the meantime.
 
The  door to the attic closes.
 
Tammy: So you don't love me?
Fernando: We been through this before, Tammy... Its not as much as you would want me to.
Tammy: But you said about getting married and all that.
Fernando: I can not let emotions mix into a mission, and you can not afford too either.
Tammy: And why not?
Fernando: This is why...
 
Fernando take a look at his watch and presses a button on it before he leans over to her and gently places his lips against hers, and just as slowly they start to embrace. After some time passes, Tammy pushes him away from her as she starts to panicky pants for air.
 
Tammy: How can you hold your breathe for that long?!!
 
Fernando presses the button on his watch, and shows her the elapsed time: 1 minute and 23 seconds.
 
Fernando: I don't hold my breathe, I just breathe very lightly. But- knowing that or not, the time that has passed, we were vulnerable from anyone who wanted to get to either of us because we were too busy with ourselves.
 
Tammy has to think before giving a reply of some sort.
 
Tammy: So what are you trying to say? You do love me or...
Fernando: I can say, for the mission- saving you and Bink means everything is first. If I allow our feelings to get in the way...
Tammy (interrupting him): How about a simple Yes or No!
Fernando: I don't know, maybe I do! But I'm too locked up in holding back to keep those emotions interfere with the mission and have one of us get hurt because of them.
Tammy: But, after the mission- you would know...is that what you're trying to say?
Fernando: Yes.
Tammy: Then mission over. If you cant tell me what and how you feel about me, I don't want your help or your pity. (as she starts to get up) In fact I dont want to see you any more!
 
Tammy gets up, putting each foot to either sloping side of the roof, and turns to where the ladder was. She takes a step towards it but trips on the apex of the roof against loose shingle and begins to fall, screaming all the way down as she goes. Fernando manages to get up 1/2 way and grab on to a reaching arm of her and pulls her towards him, holding her as tightly as possible. For a while they hold each other tightly. Fernando loosens his grip on her, but she does not. She cries softly against him.
 
Fernando: Tammy, are you alright?
Tammy (between her tears): Just hold me... you... damned... uncaring... idiot!
 
Fernando slowly sits himself down on the roof while holding her. He whispers in her ear.
 
Fernando: Who says I don't care? I do care, and that is where the problem lies.
Tammy: Just shut up... please!
Fernando: Tammy?
Tammy: I said for you to shut up!
Fernando: Can I ask you one question?
Tammy: No!
Fernando: Will you marry me?
 
No verbal answer comes from Tammy, nor does any action that would give one. She just cries as she holds onto him. After a while she stops, loosens up in her grip on him and looks up to him. She takes her arm to try to wipe away her tears and then her nose as she tries to pull back on the sniffles from crying.
 
Tammy: Not to someone who does not love me back.
Fernando: To love and cherish, honor and hold, until death do us apart- those words do have a special meaning to me, for I have lived them, and am willing to live them again with somebody who I do care about a lot, but...
Tammy: But what?
Fernando: There is business to attend too first, your safety to restore, and your freedom to establish. Until then we can not say or do anything that advertises to the world of our closeness or caring for one another- because they would use that against us to hurt the other. I don't want you hurt, I don't want others to use you to try to hurt me. We take care of that, then if you don't mind not ever stepping back in US-American soil again, we have the rest of the world to explore.
Tammy: Why can you not ever return to the US?
Fernando: The Agency and I made a deal. That deal includes that I don't ever return to the US... not from here by normal means. It does not mean that my time traveling counter parts are expelled too, they are probably over at the cafe causing trouble as only I know how.
Tammy: As your wife, would you make me a time traveler?
Fernando: You have a lot to learn before I can take you there. Just remember what I told you before my nap- about the headaches...
Tammy: Uhm... when you go to the past and change something in time, you have two sets of memories of the same event and that causes the headache?
Fernando: Consider headache gone.
Tammy: Uh? How?!!
Fernando: I cant tell you now, but when this is all over, I will. I promise you. OK?
Tammy: Do I have much of a choice?
Fernando: No.
Tammy: Why not?
Fernando: Lets deal with what we got... Now, how are you going to explain to Bink and Alex that you're now engaged to me?
Tammy: I cant, not until I get a ring first.
Fernando: OK then. Get dressed up for dinner. I'll get Marco and Hillshire to baby-sit Bink for the interim. I promised Hondo some alone time with Rose in the house.
Tammy: Where you want to go?
Fernando: I remember a little place in Rome, called the Coppola. Just dress up nice for the occasion, but don't over do it though. Care to climb down?
 
Cautiously Tammy gets up off Fernando and together slowly walk to the edge of the roof to the balcony. He hops down to the balcony below and then catches Tammy as she does the same. Together they return to the house and their respective rooms.  Fernando makes a phone call to Marco and Hillshire to return to the house, though they were conducting practice runs in the empty pool with their girls and some paint guns that they found in the basement. Fernando asks them to take Bink out with them to dinner, as both he and Tammy, and Hondo and Rose are in need of some alone time. Though Marco jokes about it, but is more than happy to oblige. He later calls Alex II and explains to him that Hondo and Rose needs some time to talk things out and asks for him to not return to the house until after 8pm.
 
After a bit of clean up and dress up time, Marco and Hillshire takes the girls out with them to some restaurant in Rome, followed by Fernando and Tammy in his Porsche to the Coppola, also in Rome. He finds parking along some side street, needing to walk a couple of block to the restaurant. But Fernando decides to take a different route, making a short walk long, as they pass by the Piazza di Spagna, and the shops near by. Passing by a jewelry store, Fernando shoves Tammy inside. She resists, but eventually goes in. After several minutes, Tammy is fitted with a simple 2 karat solitaire ring of his choosing. He get the matching wedding ring to be shipped to the cafe, under his daughter's, Dr.Aiesha G., name. Afterwards, they step out to walk about before finding the Coppola for a fine Italian dinner.

He had pulled away from her on the roof.......
 
  Rose stood over the pot of beans she was attempting to cook.  Not that she knew anything about cooking them..she was just trying to do something nice.  She listened to Fernando herd everyone else out of the house as a single tear fell from her bright green eyes into the beans.  
 
 Oh gracious!  You're acting like a ninny! Rose thought to herself.  He pulled away....he wanted to talk. It always scared her when  people said that.  Darn that Fernando! He had probably talked Hondo into breaking up with her.  Just because they were on some dumb mission, Heart of Lead Fernando wanted to butt in between them.  
 
  Another tear dropped into the slaw.  She sniffed, trying to get hold of herself. Hondo was coming into the kitchen.  Rose did not turn around when she sensed he was behind her.  
 
    Hondo turned her around and held her in his arms.  At first she resisted, and then relaxed as another of her tears dripped onto his sleeve.   "What did you want to talk about?"  
 
   "Rosie, sit down.  This is for both our sakes." he said quietly.  
 
  Hondo gave her all the details of his conversation with Fernando before she had showed up with Tammy.  Sock, dismay, relief, fear, anger, Rose went through all of these.  When he was done, she looked at Hondo her face was very pale.  
 
  "You.....you aren't going to be with me like Fernando is acting with Tammy are you?"  
 
  "No. I can't" He said simply.  Rose broke into a relieved smile.  "But Rosie, I can't show you affection outside the house." He continued.
 
  "I can live with that.  If I lost you and it was my fault I don't think I could live with myself." She said, then continued. "But you should know, I am tougher than Fernando thinks I am."  
 
  "You should still learn to defend yourself."  
 
  "Oh, I know that. I still am quite easily overpowered."  
 
   "Hmmm....let's start with a test of strength.  How many push ups can you do?"  
 
  Rose giggled nervously and tried.  After fifteen she collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily.  
 
  "You gonna be ok?" Hondo grinned.
 
  "UUgh! My arms are never going to work again!" she giggled.  
 
   "OK. Come on. Off the floor." Hondo dragged her into a chair.  "Let's eat, we'll try some more things afterward.

Hondo and rose filled their plates at the kitchen and sat down at the table to eat. They just chatted 'bout dreams and plans and 'bout each other. Rose insisted she didn't know how to cook, but the food was excellent. BBQ beef sandwiches with sharp cheese, dill pickles and coleslaw with beans  and chips on the side. they took their time eatin' , but they were soon finished. Hondo helped clean the table and did the dishes while Rose put the food away. after they finished Hondo took her to the computer nook to show her some self defense tactics and some exersize to help her and fast. They worked on combat stretches/strengthenin' moves, basic blocks and throwin' techs, Knife hidin', blockin', fightin' and throwin',  Gun quick draw and point shootin', and lastly stealth and hidin' techs.
 
  Poor Rosie was worn plumb out after all that.
"*pant, pant* I just . . . can't do any more!" Rosie Squeaked as she lay on the floor after tryin' some ab work. Hondo sat down on the floor beside her and rubbed her arm.
 
"Its ok, Darlin'. I'd work ya slower, but were on a tight schedule. Thats enough for tonight though." Hondo said. Rose smiled as she panted on the floor. Hondo pulled her into a sittin' position and gave her a hug.
 
"You did really well." Hondo said.  
 
"Thank you. I love you." Rose said as she pulled back so she could look into his eyes.
 
"I love you too. and I care 'bout you. thats why i have to put you through all this." Hondo said.
 
"I know." Rose said. Hondo then stood up and helped Rose to her feet. they walked back to the computer where Hondo printed out several instruction sheets for her and worked out a schedule that she could use to space out her work to learn it better and to make it more affective on her body. He sat her down on the couch to explain them all to her again and as she look on the papers as he talked, Hondo sat behind her and massaged her achin' shoulders. He was sure the shoulders were not the only place that ached, but he was sure that she wouldn't appreciate other massages at this time. Hondo let her go take a shower, to clean up and relax after he finished explainin'. She thanked him for the massage and as if she read his mind she thanked him for bein' good 'bout the massage too. as she entered the one bathroom to get a shower he entered another to get his out of the way too. they were both out, dressed and watchin' a movie by the time everyone else got back.

---------
OCC: Charles, John Doe and Pinocchio are in Rome with Bianca and Michelle looking for Fernando and Tammy. The police can not block off every road in Italy, as many are corrupt. But the good cops will keep an eye out for them; you know how that goes.
But good work in picking up those 4 in Nemi. BTW- Nemi is 45 minutes – 1 hour away from Rome, so unless you're speeding, its going to take you a while to get back.
/OCC
---------
Fernando and Tammy have their dinner in relative solitude; solitude against those that they know compared to the rest of the world. At least they were able to have their meal in relative peace like the other patrons of the Copolla. It was a simple one course pasta meal with salad, dessert, and wine. Fernando kept his alcohol consumption as low as possible since he was to drive them home. Tammy was a bit more generous.
 
For Tammy, part of her immediate wants and desires were fulfilled. But she wanted and she knew that she had to wait to obtain it all, in the least for her this was a step in the right direction. Fernando was not too happy with being rushed in the prospect of engagement and marriage in the midst of a mission. Fernando is not against marriage, even for himself, but it has to be for the right reasons. Mission crushes and F.N.S. (Florence Nightingale Syndrome) is not the right reasons as far as he was concerned. But why did he agreed to an engagement? Fernando was not going to ask or answer those himself. For now Tammy was happy and for now that is what counted.
 
They took their time as they ate and talked. Tammy wanting to talk about their future and Fernando about the mission and how to put it to an end. Neither two were able to make their ends meet. Tammy eventually bends to his needs  in talking about the mission, though she does not want to, she does to save argument's sake.
 
The meal itself was not too fancy; a simple meat and pasta dish for the two of them with vegetables and wine. Fernando partakes in more water than wine, Tammy chooses more wine over water. Dessert was a fine custard with fruit, and topped off with coffee or wine. Conversation was still at a stand still.
 
Fernando: Look Tammy, I don't care who you tell about this engagement. I don't want it, I don't want us to get in the way of your safety. I already explained to you that through me, you can not return to the cafe. You could visit it, but you can not return. I just want you to learn that we would be living a poorer version of life that the Duke and Dutches of Windsor had.
Tammy: Does it matter? As long as you protect me and make me happy, I will do the same for you.
Fernando: You're not getting my point.
Tammy: I do get your point. Do you get mine?
Fernando: The mission is more important for now than what we have, because if something were to happen to you...
 
Fernando becomes silent.
 
Tammy: If something were to happen to me, what?
Fernando: If something were to happen to you- then we are no longer a couple.
Tammy (angrily): And why not?
Fernando: I cant marry a corpse.
 
Tammy can not answer for several seconds.
 
Tammy: Oh...
Fernando: Look... it is not important whether we are a couple or even friends. What is important is that you are more than willing and capable to do those things important to your survival. If you can survive, then we can be friends and even more than friends. Without you, there is nothing. I would rather lose you and have you angry at me for not returning what you think I should give you than for me to be putting flowers on your grave every year. I care for you, maybe too much, but at least I have my priorities in trying to do what I think is right for you. You understand what I'm trying to say?
Tammy: I do.
Fernando: Then what are we to do?
Tammy: Finish the mission first...
Fernando: Good.
Tammy: But...
Fernando: But what?
Tammy: What about after the mission is completed?
Fernando: That remains to be seen. But until then- that ring on your finger is a promise. And though promises do get broken, lets not do anything that would complicate issues into that direction. Right now, you and Bink are important and you and her are the mission where you have to complete you mission against the LSD Dealers.
Tammy: Why don't I just quit the SWA and end this everything.
Fernando: Then who is going to take care of Bink? Who is going to pay for her medical expenses, to replace her cybornetic parts when they worn out? Don't kid yourself in that Gadget will be the godsend solution to Bink's needs- Gadget would have her taken apart on her lab slab and try to figure out all of her components and get everything wrong. Further more- Gadget is not a doctor...
Tammy (interrupting him): But your daughter is.
Fernando: Aiesha does not know enough to figure all this out in time to save Bink. In short- for the time being until they retire Bink, you two are stuck with them.
Tammy: How long will that take?
Fernando: I'm supposed to be retired from the CIA. But, they have saying, ‘There is no such thing as a retired agent. Only dead ones.' Of course, I left on my own, but they do know how to get to me when I'm needed. The SWA will do the same thing to you. So enjoy what peace and quiet that you can get, they will come looking for you when they need you again.
 
Tammy looks down at her plate, not sure how or not wanting to answer.
 
Fernando (as he reaches for the wine glass): There is no such thing as a retired agent. Sometimes I swear.
Tammy (looking up at him): What?
Fernando: If it were not for you coming back 1/2 a year ago, we would not be in this mess right now.
Tammy: I did so to get my sister back.
Fernando: And you got her back. But at what cost? Look Tammy- I'm not getting on your case or anything like that. Reuniting you and Bink was something that had to be done and something I would do again if I had to repeat everything again. Now that you are at this point, what I'm trying to say is, are you willing to do what you have to do in order to keep you two together?
Tammy: Yes.
Fernando: Are you, where you are at now- willing to do the same for me?
Tammy: Without question.
Fernando: Then forget about me for now, and lets complete this mission to some conclusion so you can move on with your life.
Tammy: Would that life include you?
Fernando: Just remember that the ring is a promise from me to you. One that I will try not to break.
Tammy: What are you trying to say?
Fernando: People change, Tammy. Supposed  that when the mission ends, your feelings for me change. That the things we may have done in this mission to keep the stress and pressures from getting to our sanity no longer applies. What then?
Tammy: Do you love me?
Fernando: I do, but that is not the issue here.
Tammy: What is?
Fernando: The issue is you. I know I will change when this mission is over. I'm just wondering about you.
Tammy: I wont change.
Fernando: You already have.
Tammy: How?
Fernando: You pulled the trigger once on someone and almost pulled it on another. This from one who said she never would, and yet she did. That is a profound change. Continuing further- you will continue to change. What if when this is over- you no longer have those feelings towards me?
 
Tammy thinks for a while.
 
Tammy: I have had those feelings towards the end of the first mission, when you got Bink back for me...
Fernando (interrupting her): Since when?
Tammy: Since when those goons tried to collect that reward and took me as a hostage for that reward, when you came in and rescued me, even though you killed everyone there and destroyed the floor, somehow you made sure that I was not hurt.
Fernando: I did what I had to do.
Tammy: It was then, when you came in that I wanted you. But...
Fernando: But what?
Tammy: But I thought you and that red headed chipmunk were a couple.
Fernando: Who? Jeanette. No, she is just a friend. A very close friend and a very good friend, even though we don't agree on things and our arguments seem to last for months. But us as a couple- I'm too old her for one, and we don't see ourselves on that situation.
Tammy: Age has little to do with the couple in a relationship. I know you're double my age, and I know mom would be angry with me if she were alive to see this, but I don't care how old you are compared to me, just as long as you are there for me.
Fernando: Engaged, married or not, I will always be there for you- just one phone call and at least 24 hours away if you need me to be there. That's what friends do Tammy. Its not love but respect of the relationship. Friends do that for each other.
Tammy: But I want more.
Fernando: We all want more. Whether or not we can get it is another thing. I'm not going to force you or any other female into giving me what I want. Nor am I going to take it away from anyone. But if its given, that is where problems may lie and I have to make a choice in accepting or not.
Tammy: What if I want to give to you so you can give back?
Fernando: That's the problem. I would give back, but this is not the time nor place for it to happen.
Tammy: Because of the mission-right?
Fernando: When the mission is over, then we'll see what we can give to one another- not before.
Tammy: Can I ask why?
Fernando: I already told you my side. Now lets flip it to your side- what if something happens to me in this mission. What if you become pregnant because the stress and pressures pushed us to go to that extreme in dealing with it. How are you going to explain to that squirrel puppy that it's father is dead. Its going to want answers as to how and why when its old enough to understand. Furthermore, being a single mother- its going to be hard for you date and perhaps remarry. So, for now, all I ask is ‘can you wait?'
Tammy: I see your point. I don't want too, but if I have too, then I must.
Fernando: Are we done with dinner?
Tammy: Why?
Fernando: I would like to go back to that jewelry store again.
Tammy (hesitantly, hiding the ring he gave her): Why?
Fernando: Just a little something to make it up to Hondo and Rose.
Tammy: Oh... I thought...
Fernando (interrupting her): Don't think like that. I made a promise to you and I will keep that promise to the best of my ability. Don't ever forget that.
Tammy: What are you going to get them?
Fernando: Don't know, but when I get there... I hope its still open though.
 
Fernando signals to the waiter for the check. When he arrives, Fernando hands over to him his credit card. The waiter leaves for a moment to process the bill and returns with the receipts for him to sign. Fernando puts down a generous tip on the receipt, and takes a copy of the receipt and his card. Tammy gets up before Fernando could, and they leave the restaurant together. After a while of walking, they head back to the jewelry store, finding it still open. Fernando walks in with Tammy, and asks for a diamond heart shaped pendant and a wedding band set for them. He pays everything by credit, and informing the head jeweler that it's a gift, and the gift maybe returned for resizing. The head jeweler accepts this agreement, stating that all they have to do is return it with the receipt and the resizing or exchange will be done for free. Fernando gives thanks before leaving. They walk about to see the sights before going home, passing by the Piazza di Spagna. As they walk outside, Tammy asks a question.
 
Tammy: Why did you bought another engagement and wedding ring set?
Fernando: Its for Hondo, to give to Rose. We are not the only couple coupling up in this mission. And since I've been hard to both Hondo and Rose- I do have to make up for it to them somehow.
 
Tammy stops walking, letting Fernando take a step further before he stops when the tension against their arms suddenly went up. She pulls back on his arm as he turns to face her, forcing him to take a step towards her. As he does, she puts her arms around him, making her get as close to her as possible. She has to reach up into her tiptoes for her to kiss him as she wanted too. He tries to fight back for the moment but eventually stops, allowing it to happen. It was a short kiss as kisses go. She pulls back a bit away from him.
 
Tammy: You're such a meanie head- but a nice meanie head...
Fernando: I'm not changing for anyone.
Tammy: I would not want you too.
Fernando: Good.
 
A rat approaches them, wearing dark glasses, asking a question. His friends, a male mouse (or a young rat- it was difficult to say) and 2 female squirrels (one tall red headabout Tammy's height and the other a shorter blonde) not to far from him, but just outside the light of the street lamp to hide their detailed features.
 
Rat: Excuse me sir. Do you have the time? It seems that my watch has stopped.
 
Fernando and Tammy both look at him for a second. Something about the situation was not right and Fernando knew it. He slowly raised his arm and felt his watch with his finger, like a blind person would.
 
Fernando: It's a quarter to 9 o'clock.
Rat: Thank you sir...
 
The rat started to walk away, rejoining with his group. They start to walk away in a different direction from Fernando and Tammy.
 
Fernando: Its time to go home...
 
Fernando starts to walk in the opposite direction as quickly as possible, with Tammy in tow. They quickly get to his car, where he pauses for a second and looks around. With no body around, he opens the Porsche and lets Tammy in first, before going in on the driver's side.
 
Tammy: Who was that?
Fernando: Tammy, tell me that you have your gun.
Tammy: No I don't.
 
Fernando tries to keep his emotions in check.
 
Tammy: Where would I put it?
Fernando: Next time put it in your purse and take it with you.
Tammy: But why? And who was that?
Fernando: They were dogs.
Tammy: Dogs?
Fernando: Bounty hunters. I recognized the rat and his mousey friend.
Tammy: You mean...
Fernando: Look, my gun is in my left shoulder harness. If that ever happens again- and I cant get to it, you  must and take them out.
Tammy: Why?
Fernando: Because we are the bounty.
Tammy: What's going on?
Fernando: Marco explained to me that there is an underground 2 million euro reward for those responsible for Annie's death, and ever street punk and mafia hit man is going to try to collection that reward. That's means us.
Tammy: Why did you not tell me this before?
Fernando: He just told me earlier today, and we were too busy talking about other things... this is what I mean by letting the relationship get in the way!
 
Fernando turns on the engine, and starts to drive away. A few blocks away, he passes by them again. The younger mouse looks to the older one.
 
Younger Mouse: You think that was them?
Older Rat: I'm sure of it, Pino. Very sure of it...

Fernando and Tammy arrives to home-base in a matter of minutes, getting there just a few minutes before 9pm. Along the way, Fernando made sure that he was not followed or he would have taken more adverse driving techniques other than pinning the needles on his dashboard dials. He gets out of the car putting a small paper bag into his pocket, looking around before going to the other side to let Tammy enter the building. His senses were on high alert.
 
Tammy opens the door and looks for Rose who was not on the floor. Hondo was in the kitchen doing the dishes. Tammy goes upstairs to look for Rose while Fernando goes to Hondo. He takes out the paper bag from his pocket and tosses it at Hondo.
 
Fernando: Hondo- catch.
 
Hondo had to drop a couple of soapy items in order to catch what Fernando threw at him.
 
Hondo: What it this?
Fernando: Something for Rose… from you. The receipt is there so you two can go there and make adjustments. I don’t expect you to pay me back- just make her happy. I need my rest, so I’ll talk to you in the morning.
 
Unsure how to answer, Hondo gives his salutations as Fernando goes up the stairs to his room. He goes inside and closes the door behind him. Fernando takes off what he can before laying in bed in his underwear. He reaches for the blanket and covers himself before throwing a shoe at the light switch. He manages to hit it as always- turning the lights in the room off. He just lays there for next hour staring at the ceiling in the darkness.

Hondo Finished his dishes and took out the package Fernando had thrown at him.
He opened it to find a beautiful engagement ring with weddin' ring set. he couldn't believe it. he wanted to ask Rosie now to marry him, but he wanted a better time and place. He went and hid it in his room for later. Rose was in talkin' to Tammy who suprisin'ly said nothin' 'bout the ring set Fernando gave Hondo, but she had to show her own off of course. tomorrow he would ask, if he could. He knew one of them could get shot in all this and he wanted her to at least have the ring if he got shot. Hondo had always been one to not stress out too bad and when he did he took it out different than most. he knew his Love for Rose was true and he knew hers for him was too, even though she stressed more than he did, she had showed the same signs now that she did before the mission. Hondo went down to the livin' room to watch the news. it was 45 min. later, almost 10:00, that rose and Tammy came down stairs. Tammy was still giggly over gettin' her ring, but a little more somber than she was earlier, since Rose had talked her into thinkin' a little more. they sat down and watched the news with Hondo until 10:45. Hondo then got up an announced it was time for him to get a little sleep. Tammy asked where Fernando was. Hondo told her he was sleepin' and if she didn't stay away from his room and go to her own and stay there til mornin' he'd personally whip her tail. Tammy took it with a smile still and nodded. "I promise."  she said and was off to bed. Hondo sat back down.
 
"I thought you were goin' to bed?" Rose asked.
 
"Not just yet." Hondo said with a grin. He pulled his rose to him . he sat holdin' her shoulders and starin' into her eyes for what seemed like several minutes, then he pulled her close, wrapped his arms 'round her and kissed her.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out
