Disclaimer: so I really wish I owned the covert affairs group but I don't. None of it is mine kind of sad.
Author's notes: so this is a iPod shuffling challenge each chapter is inspired by a song on my IPod; it will all go together as one story though. Hope y'all like it! And I like reviews they let me know how I'm doing. And this means over phone or coms.
Chapter 1.
Auggie.
Annie had only been gone for three days, but she still found trouble. We lost contact and I freaked, so they sent Jai in after her. I may hate Jai Wilcox, but he can see and therefore do the thing I can't… Go get her. I would do anything to get Annie back and safely in my arms.
"Lord, please bring her home safe. Home to me" I whisper.
Joan is worried as well. I can feel the nerves coming off her in waves, but Joan is Joan and she keeps her cool.
"Auggie do you have a line with Wilcox?" she asks.
"He is on the ground" I pull my head phones over my ears.
"Anderson, you there? We have an eye ball on Annie! We found her!" Jai says in my ear.
"They have an eye ball" I call Joan over.
I usually can't stand Wilcox, but right now I could kiss him.
"How is she doing Wilcox? Is she ok?" I don't bother to hold the crazed worry from my voice.
The pause is long, worryingly long.
"Anderson is Joan nearby?"
"She is on line. How is Annie?" I motion for Joan to grab her head phones.
"She is alive and awake" Jai sighs "but… she doesn't know who I am"
Nine hours later…
I paced back and forth in my office. I can hear Stu nearby, keeping an eye on me like Joan no doubt told him to. I plop down in my chair. How can Joan expect me to wait here for Annie, I am ten seconds from hijacking a company car and meeting them at the airport!
I hear a commotion by the elevators and then it hits me. The scent I could never forget, the smell that is strictly Annie, Jo Malone Grapefruit. I hurry out of my office and in the direction of the elevators. Stu is suddenly at my side.
"Auggie, remember she doesn't know who we are" he reminds me "Heck she doesn't know who she is!"
I nod. I'm not even actually listening to him, I'm too busy trying to hear Annie's voice. If I can just hear her voice then I can relax. Hearing her voice will let me know that she is ok.
As Joan rounds the corner I hear her talking to Annie.
"This is the office where you work, your desk is just over there"
Oh how I wish I could see, if only to see Annie right now. It's driving me crazy not being able to tell if she is alright. I hear their steps come to a halt and Joan ask Annie what's wrong. He tone sets me on high alert.
Annie.
I don't know what's going on I don't know who I am. The dark man, who I think is named Jai, takes me to an airport, where we board a plane for D.C. then, once we have arrived, he hands me off to a blonde woman, who says her name is Joan. Joan seems to be in charge, my boss maybe? They both talk about a man named Auggie Anderson. That name brings a picture of a tall, brunette man, with a warm and comforting smile.
Joan leads me through a building she calls the DPD. She says this should help jog my memory, but nothing looks familiar.
"Don't worry Annie, let's try your work space" she says sounding like she is determined to make me remember.
I find myself wanting to please her. I want her to like me. We get into an elevator and Joan presses the floor button.
"This is the office where you work, your desk is just over there" Joan says, but I can't focus on her words. There he is! There is Auggie!
I have the sudden urge to start crying and throw myself into his arms. I hear Joan trying to grab my attention, but I can't understand her, I am completely focused on him.
"Annie?" he whispers, a worried tone to his voice.
I break. I can't focus anymore. I stumble to him and he wraps his arms around me in a tight, almost desperate embrace. Hugging him feels right, feels familiar.
"Annie" he sighs.
I barely hold back the tears that threaten to fall.
"Auggie?" I whisper.
"Yes Annie! It's me!" He crushes me tighter to his chest.
