Secrets 10

"Let's go!" Ally and Trish aim there guns at the sea can door. And some men come over and open it.

"44? Who's holding 44?" A man asks. Austin walk up to the man.

"I actually would like to speak to Lou, please."

"Well, buddy, looks like your gonna have to grab another number." Austin sighs and grabs another number. He grabbed B96. Austin sighs and sits back down. Lou smiles.

They get the sea can open. "It's all clear! Agent De La Rosa you better look at this." A man says looking into the sea can. Trish and Ally go over.

"What the hell?" Trish says. It's just a camera on a pod stand.

"Someone knew we were coming." Ally says. Trish hits the camera over.

"96? Anybody got 96?" Lou asks.

Austin stands up and walk over to Lou, "I just wanted to apologize about last night and explain..."

"I'm working. Do you want a sandwich?"

"Yeah. I'll take a sandwich."

"Great. What'll you have?"

"You guys carry wheat bread?"

"We do."

"Why don't you grab a couple slices of that?" She grabs them. "Now toss 'em and grab the seedless rye." Austin walks around the counter. "And while you're at it, grab some pastrami. End cut, none of that lean crap."

"A man with high cholesterol. Sexy. Is that it?"

"Oh, I'm just getting warmed up. Cole slaw."

"On the side?"

"On the top, lather it on."

"Swiss?"

"Muenster."

"Is that it?"

"Well, after you shut it down and grill it. This is a hot sandwich, sweetheart. In the Rueben family." Austin holds up the flowers. "These are for you. They were alive at one point." Lou laughs and takes them.

"Gerber daisies, they're my favorite."

"I'm really sorry if I acted like a jerk last night. I was really nervous..."

"Shut up, Austin." Lou kisses Austin.

"Who are these people?" Yari asks his son while watched the video feed of Trish breaking the camera. "How did they found out about the shipment?"

"I have no idea." Yari slaps him.

"If anything goes wrong with this shipment, we are dead. These people will kill us."

"What the hell is coming in that's so important, eh?"

"I don't know and I don't want to know. Our job is to make the delivery not ask questions. Now, you find out who this belongs to." He holds up the guitar mic. "And bring him to me.

Austin wakes up and smiles. He goes to the bathroom and looks in the mirror, "Morning, handsome. Nice work last night."

"Hey, lover boy." Trish says. Austin screams. "Hasn't that mirror suffered enough already?" Trish says with Ally standing behind him.

"I am in the bathroom. Okay, is there nothing sacred to you people?"

"Just the right to bear arms." Austin walks out the bathroom.

"You two look terrible."

"Well, we were up all night explaining to our bosses why we raided a cargo freighter filled with nothing but air and a surveillance camera."

"The tip you gave us was compromised." Ally says. "Someone set us up."

"I think it was your sandwich maker. "

"Are you kidding me?" Austin asks. "Lou? Please. Come on. You don't want me to date for "national security" reasons, fine, just say that. But I think this is a little pathetic. And quite frankly, beneath you, Ally." Ally hands him a photo.

"This was taken at that docks after your date." Ally says. It's a picture of Lou and Salvros in the back alley.

Austin gulps, "I'm sure she has a perfectly reasonable explanation for this."

"Good. Can't wait to hear it." Trish says.

"Keep it. We have plenty more." They both walk out of the apartment.

"Okay, Austin, our Intel says Lou should be meeting Stavros behind the club." Trish says.

"You guys are being paranoid. There's no way Lou's showing up here."

"Now you're mic'ed." Trish hands him a mic.

"Great. Great, thanks a lot. And what will the sandwich police be doing on this stakeout?"

"Here we go. We got company." Lou comes in and parks the car. She steps out and walks away.

"Believe us now?" Trish asks.

"No. As a matter of fact, I don't." Austin steps out of the car.

"Hey, Austin wait." Ally tries to get out of the car when Trish stops her. "No, damn it. I'm going after him."

"They have us in tape. If they recognize either of us, we could blow the whole operation."

Austin exits through a door and bends down and watches Lou and Stavros. Stavros goes over to her with a cargo box. Lou says, "Thank you, Stavos."

"Oh, my pleasure." Stavros says. "So, your friend, Austin, where'd you meet him?"

"He works at Techies and Technology, across from the deli. I took my phone in to get fixed. Why?"

"Just seems like a great guy. I'll be back with the rest." Stavros walks away.

Austin stands up, "Well, hello, Lou. Of that is in fact your real name."

"Austin, what are you doing here?"

"I think the question is what are you doing here?"

"None of your business. Were you following me? Have you been spying on me?"

"Don't try and turn this on me. Okay? I'm not the one smuggling..." Austin tries to open the box. "What is this? What is this? Illegal, Illegal things with my boyfriend." Suddenly a whole bunch of meat falls out. "what is that?"

"Portuguese cured sopresseto? What'd you think was going to be in there?"

"I, uh, I didn't quite know. I just saw you with Stavros and I suspected the worst."

"Right, well, congrats, Austin. Your suspicions have been confirmed. I'm a smuggler. Ooh."

"Shh! You should probably keep that down. Someone'll hear you, okay?" Austin plays with his watch.

"I know it's illegal! There's no additives or preservatives in it. It takes ten days to clear customs and by them it's gone bad." Austin takes off his watch and smashes it on the ground. "Okay, don't get me started on the..."

"I can't hear anything. I'm going in." Ally says.

"Give him a minute. You can't go in every time he breaks a nail."

"Just cover the front." Ally gets out of he car and heads to the back.

"I'm sorry, Lou. I made a really big mistake." Austin says.

"Looks like I did too." Lou says then walks away.

Ally comes through the door aiming up her gun. "Hey, what happened?"

"I blew it... Again." Austin says.

"Yes you did, Austin." Stavros comes over aiming his gun at him with another guy behind him. "Most definitely blew it." They out the two in the trunk of the car and close the door.

"Why did you come in? I had the situation entirely under control."

"Yeah, I can see that." Ally says.

"I assume you have a plan to get us out of this mess."

"Right now Trish's tracking your GPS device in your watch. A SWAT team will be here any minute."

"Yeah, about the watch..."

Trish goes to behind the club and finds that the watch was crushed in the ground. "Idiot."

"...Lou was incriminating herself and I didn't want her getting into trouble." Ally turns to face Austin.

"Always the romantic, huh, Austin?"

"Jealous?"

"It was foolish. Do you really think the CIA is interested in a deli meat smuggler?"

"Well, excuse me if I'm not Mr. Perfect Spy. We can't all be Bryce Larkin, now can we?"

"Who's jealous now?"

"Me, jealous of you and Bryce? Never."

"You said everything you wanted to say?"

"More or less."

"Good. Now, shut up. You're sucking up all the air." Ally turns around so her back is facing him.

Trish enters Lou's deli, "Food and Drug Administration."

"How can I help you?" Lou asks.

"We know about the illegal meats you've been importing, miss. The FDA's been running a task force against the Demetrios family for the last few months. You're going down for ten to 20 in a federal pen."

"For salami?"

"For guns."

"Guns?"

"The Demetrios family's been shipping guns into LA, which means technically we can nail you aiding and abetting terrorists. Or you can help us."

"What would I have to do?"

"Give me the dock number where you're receiving your shipments from Stavros."

"Dock 148, the Northwest pier."

"Thanks." Trish leaves the deli.

"Time is of the essence so I will cut to the chase. We have a very important that is about to be picked up and we need to know who else knows about it." Austin and Ally are tied up back to back. Yari holds a electric screw driver.

"Okay, I'll talk! I'll talk!" Austin says.

"No, Austin!" Ally demands.

"We, we know all about ...the imported salami and we're cool with it, man. The real crime is that it's illegal to begin with. Honestly, there's no need for torture, Yari."

"Mr. Moon, I'm not going to torture you."

"Great. Great, we're on the same page."

"I'm going to torture her."

"No! No, no, no! We're not on the same page anymore, Yari, we're not even in the same chapter. No, no, no, please don't!" Suddenly Austin flashes on the watch Yari is wearing. "You killed a while family outside Yerevan." Yari stops. "You stole their heirlooms, and you sold all of them on the Russian black market except for that watch."

"How do you know that?" A man asks. Austin looks at the mans tattoo and flashes on it.

"Your name is Vladimir Snell. Last year, you were paid $40,000 to kill a man named Leo Koloff."

"You told me you were paid 20." A man says.

"He's lying. He'll say anything to get out of trouble." Ally pulls out her knife and starts cutting her rope.

"He knows about Yerevan. He knows everything. And you... Own me money."

Yari shoots the man. "Well, that settles that. So..." Yari aims the gun at Ally. "If you kindly tell me who else knows about out shipment."

"The package is here." A man says. "Berth 19. We've got five minutes till it expires, sir." Austin flashes on the tablet the man is holding.

"All right, let's go. We'll just have to kill them."

"There's weapon in the shipment. I think some kind of chemical bomb. We have to get to it before it blows." Ally sees in the corner of her eye someone walking slowly towards them. The man is about to shot Ally when Ally finally cuts through with her knife and kicks the man and Trish shoots him. Ally kicks his chair away and he screams. Stavros shoots at Trish multiple times but misses. Trish shoots at a man and gets him down.

"I'll hold the fort. You go get the bomb!" Trish says. Ally grabs Austin and they run out.

"The bombs at Berth 19." Ally says. "Austin, I want you to get as far away from here as possible."

"I'm coming with you." Austin says.

"No. Austin." Ally stops running and grabs Austin's arm.

"You're not going anywhere near a live bomb."

"Do you know how to defuse a bomb? Do you have an Intersect I your head? I don't think so." Austin starts running.

"Hey! Austin! Wait!" Ally runs after him. They find the large box and grab crow bars. "Here. Help me out." They go on opposite ends and try to open it up. They succeed. They look inside and its a big pod. There so forth two seconds left.

"Okay. Intersect. Flash. Show me how to do this."

"Did you flash?"

"No. Nothing. Come on! Come don't fail me now."

"Okay, Austin that's enough. You have to run. I'm going to try and stay and defuse it."

"No, I'm not leaving you here."

"Go. That is an order."

"No." Ally stands in front of him and pulls out her gun.

"I said go."

"Oh, I see. So you're going to shoot me to prevent me from being blow up? That's a great plan."

"Why are you so stubborn?"

"Actually, I consider this a rare moment of courage." Ally puts her gun away. "I don't know where it's coming from I guess you just bring the worst in me."

Ally steps forward, "And you in me."

Suddenly there is a loud beeping noise and Austin and Ally turn there head. Six seconds left.

"It was nice knowing you." Austin says closing his eyes. Ally grabs Austin's head and pulls him in for a kiss. Austin takes it as a surprise but pulls her in tighter for a passionate kiss for a long time.

They stop realizing something. They open there eyes and let go of each other. Austin looks at the bomb while Ally is still looking at him then looks at it.

"Well, the good news it that we're alive." Ally says. "And the bad news is that this is kind of... Am uncomfortable moment right now."

"It's completely comfortable on my end." Austin says in still a surprise and still taking in what just happened. "Just saying."

The next day Austin goes over to Lou's deli. "Hey. Look I know I've been acting like a jerk lately."

"Austin, I know who you really work for. That you're an undercover agent. "

"How do you...?"

"That girl Trish from the Food and Drug Administration come to se me, explained that you are an informant."

"Right. My cover has been blown. I'm an agent for the FDA."

"Can I ask you a question? This whole time, did you ever really like me?"

"Honestly?"

"Yeah. Let's try that for the first time since we've met."

"Lou, you are everything that I'm looking for. I just can't look right now."

"Thanks for being honest. The next time my phone breaks, I'm going to the Large Mart."

"That hurts."

"And the next time you're hungry..."

"Take it to the Weirnerlicous."

"I'm really going to miss the Austin Moon."

"So am I."

"Hey Lou."

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. Secret agent or not. That was the best kiss I've had in a long time."

Austin and Dez are chilling at the Nerd Herd desk when Anna walks by, "Hey Dez, can I borrow a pen?"

"He's whipped." Lester laughs.

"Whipped?" Austin asks.

"Oh, yeah." Dez says. "Pick got a girlfriend now, Austin."

"Oh... Anna?"

"Yeah. How about this Friday, you and Lou, we'll double date."

"Lou and I broke up."

"What? You're a free man?" Dez grabs the intercom. "Anna. It's Dez. It's over. We had a good run, but, uh, lone wolf has to run free." Anna looks over the shelf an has a surprised face. "Austin and Dez train is on track."

Austin laughs, "Yeah, not really, though, cause, uh... I'm going to get back together with Ally I think."

"You couldn't say this ten seconds ago, huh?" Dez grabs the intercom again and turns around, "Anna. Honey? Sweetie." He sets it down. "Got to go."

Austin calls Ally but she doesn't pick up so he leaves her a voice mail, "Hi, it's Austin. Of course it's me. Look I was just wondering if you would go out on a date tonight. And by "date" I mean no GPS and no mikes and no chaperones- it'd just be us. I'm thinking maybe we could hit up Sbarro. They just named a new pizza after Morgan and you know, I kind of wanted to support him. So...okay. Bye." Austin smiles.

Ally and Trish enter a private building where they placed the POD of sorts. "Whoever shot Yari was here to pick up this package." Ally says.

"Someone who didn't want Yari to talk." Trish says.

"All clear." A man says. "Looks mean, but it's nonlethal. That timer wasn't a fuse, it was measuring an oxygen supply." The men start typing into a computer. Trish and Ally walks up to the POD like. It starts to open up and it sounds like expressing air. Inside the pod lays Bryce Larkin.

"Oh, my God, Bryce." Ally says shocked.

"Didn't I kill him?" Trish asks.

Bryce starts breathing. Ally starts crying. Bryce is alive.
