Life Heaven Peace Love and everything you could wish for
Getting to know – Chapter 1
I don´t own covert affairs or Auggie Anderson (what a loss) or Annie Walker by the way. I don´t know if they ever talked about in an episode because I´ve seen just the first few episodes so I´m sorry if there is something alike in this story to the episodes. (cursive is speech by the way)
Auggie was walking out of the office close to nine a clock in the evening, he had traded his laser cane for the normal white cane which draws more attention to him as he liked. It was a good day at work not perfect but good. He walked totally straight to the waiting car as someone called his name to get his attention. Hey Auggie do you have minute for the poor newbie in this business? Annie the new field officer was trying to get close to him which was totally impossible with the hurting ankle she suffered from her last mission. "Oh Miss Walker nice to hear you in reality and not over the earpiece. I didn´t know you were back again. How can I be your knight in the white armor?" Auggie smiled at her direction. They had instantly connected in a way Auggie didn´t thought would have happened anymore to him because he was one of the Ray Charles´ in the greater D.C. area.
"Have you time for me and my miserable outer agency life? I don´t want impose but can I spend the night at your place? My sister is giving me a damn headache!" "hm ok Annie but you have to promise me something don´t let anything lying around in my apartment. "
So they both rode to his apartment Auggie in his car which was provided for him from the agency since he started working again. Annie followed with her cute vw golf.
After Auggie got out of the car he let his cane fall in to place he locked it with tapping twice on the ground he waited until Annie parked her car nearby. They walked in silence to the door for his building, Auggie because he was deeply thinking what Annie wanted to talk about and Anny because she didn´t knew what to say because of this great neighborhood Auggie lived.
As they walked into the building they were greeted by the manager Benjamin who was as friendly as ever. "Hello August nice evening for you and your companion, the bath worker are ready and you can use the new whirlpool." "Thanks and call me Auggie or you will be Mr. Franklin again! "
He smiled and approached the elevator straight away. They settled into the car and Auggie took his keycard for the scanner in it.
He was precise as ever and he chose the right level nob without him searching for the braille label on it. After the car dinged at his level he walked out and took his normal keys out and in a second he opened the door for Annie and himself.
So come in Annie and take the apartment of the blind man in. He said more sadly than he wanted to.
They walked into the open apartment and Auggie put his cane wallet keys and bag where they belonged and walked straight into his walk in closet to change into a tshirt and some lighter jeans.
Usually he would be ready in less than a minute but he needed time to process that this was the first time he let anyone into his apartment from the agency even Joan wasn´t here.
Annie if you want you can make yourself at home but don´t rearrange anything without telling me. Do you want to eat something? I´ll have everything for lasagna a la Anderson here.
You can cook? She blurted out faster than she could hold this statement. This was a moment she wanted to suck her feet because of her curiosity.
Yes I can cook how do you think I survive without proper feeding? Huh? I am blind not dumb Annie I thought you could tell it apart.
Sorry Auggie I didn´t mean it I was just surprised you good looking man don´t seem to be the type who had cooking skills. And yes I want to eat something but I don´t want to be hassle to you. Can I help?
No I´ll do it myself but you can collect music from the IPod on the station anything you want.
After he had said this he went straight for the freezer and rummaged in it until he found what he was looking for. He could feel the stairs of Annie as he preceded the preparation for the lasagna. Every move he made was perfect and everyone could see he was good in what he does.
Annie if you are so kind will you do the table with the things I put on the island? Do you want wine or something else to drink?
Wine would be fine and the table will be ready in a sec.
Auggie moved to the little wine cabinet in the kitchen it was stocked with a lot bottles which where labeled accurately.
Auggie opened the bottle and let him breath the lasagna was in the oven and he walked up to his leather couch.
So talk Miss Walker or I´m going straight after the lasagna into my bed and you missed the chance of my full attention.
Auggie can I ask you something before I tell you what happened?
Of course you can if you get an answer you will see.
How can you be so independent Auggie you are walking here like you can see your lasagna smells amazing is there anything you couldn´t do? How could you cope with this after you were injured in the line of duty?
Stop Walker I´ll answer you the questions but let me start at the beginning. After rehab I had the skills to live as independently as I do now, I have a lot of practice and here is my own land I know everything and that is the key for what you see. I don´t need to rely on the cane and this apartment is longer in my life as the cane so I knew it beforehand like the back of my hand.
The oven dinged at they settled at the table. Annie thought he had forgotten what she asked but after a few bites of this mean lasagna Anderson he proceeded to tell her more.
After I got of the phase of anger I saw there where three options for me. First ending my life which was really tempting, searching a whole and being a burden for my parents or one of my older brothers or learn everything in rehab to come independent again and maybe becoming as well adjusted to this – he waved in front of his eyes – as it was possible. After a mean speech of my second oldest brother I choose the way you see by now. Sometimes I go into the dark place and get really miserable but most of the time I am fine.
Oh Auggie thanks for telling me this I promise this will stay between us and the delicious lasagna.
After they cleaned up as a team they got settled on his couch. A lot of hours later Annie was sleeping peacefully in the guestroom and Auggie lay awake in his king bed – unseeing eyes starring of… thinking about the woman next door.
So please review and i´m sorry for the mistakes but I am not a native speaker
