Hello fellow lovers of Covert Affairs. I have a lot of ideas for this story so stay tuned for the next chapter! :) Please comment on what ya think.
Here she comes, Auggie thought to himself as he heard the distinct clicking of Annie's kitten heels and the smell of her grapefruit perfume. Two things that he looked forward to in the mornings at Langley: a cup of coffee and Annie Walker. He grinned and turned to lean on the coffee cart as he heard her approach.
"Well, well, well good morning Miss Walker nice of you to join me." He said in a British accent and bowed like a gentleman. As he rose Annie could see a playful grin evolve on his face.
"Very funny Auggie, and good morning to you too" She replied smiling at her crazy best friend grabbing his arm as he led the way to the elevators using his laser cane. "Hey how did you know I was coming?"
"Easy, like I've told you before Annie your heels and your perfume give you away, you may be a spy but you can't fool a blind guy with extra sensitive senses." Auggie said matter of factly holding the door of the now open elevator as Annie got in.
Annie rolled her eyes, "My bad oh great one." Suddenly just as the doors were about to close a dark skinned hand appeared followed by its owner who quickly slid into the elevator, Jai.
Adjusting his perfectly tailored suit he smirked at the duo, "Good morning Annie" he said in his normal masqueraded charming tone. "Anderson" he said dryly only acknowledging his presence. Crap, this should be interesting Annie thought hearing Jai's last remark, him and Auggie were always scratching at each other's temper calling each other out and of course Auggie would have a smart remark back. She could tell by the mischievous grin and look in his sightless eyes.
"Good Morning Wilcox, off to ruin more careers today or are you in a backstabbing kind of mood today hmm?" Here we go, Annie thought to herself.
"Unlike you Anderson, some of us like promotions instead of staying on lower parts of the food chain by choice because of being scared to have more responsibility" Jai said as he stepped off the elevator smile beaming, claiming victory of this battle. Annie shocked at this comeback she could feel Auggie's bicep tense up at Jai's remark, he had hit a nerve. Quickly she felt him relax as he smirked and yelled out the elevator for the last word as he said,
"That was my choice; at least I didn't trample everyone who got in my way and kiss butt to get a promotion, a little desperate don't you think?" That wiped the smile off Jai's face. As the doors closed Annie looked at her best friend in disbelief.
"Unbelievable, one of these days you guys are going to kill each other!" She said exasperated, as they stepped off the elevator and onto their floor.
"Oh come on Walker just having a little fun. Besides I only do it to show Jai that even though he may be in control of his department he cannot control everyone."
"All I'm saying is yes Jai can get on peoples last nerve but wasn't that kind of overkill?"
"What can I say? I'm a passionate guy." He laughed as they parted ways while he went into his office. She smiled and thought to herself, Passionate? That's for sure. She couldn't help but start falling for him. All of the nights they spent at Allen's drinking and talking, how he always had her back on every mission, and how she could talk to him about everything….well everything except this. Snap out of it Annie your just friends be happy with it she said shaking her head and concentrating on her work.
"Annie Walker", Annie looked up to see the owner of the voice who had called her name, Joan. The long blonde haired director of the CIA stood on the platform, Annie then followed her into her office. Joan took her place behind her desk leaning on her hands as she hovered over open case files.
"Annie I have a mission for you."
