Chapter 2
AN: Thank you for the support - okay this chapter is more dialogue which I have never been very good at. It is also shorter as well – I can promise longer chapters once the story really starts.
Auggie felt his heart grow cold. The pure fear that shrouded Annie's voice caused an unreasonable amount of panic to grow in him. All at once a million different possibilities of the worst possible scenarios ran through his crazed head. Was she running? Was she in danger? Was she hurt? He could not remember a time where he had been more worried.
"Annie! Annie, can you hear me?" he demanded frantically.
"Auggie," came an almost silent whimper from the other side of the call, "you're okay."
"Of course i'm okay," he replied back confused, "why wouldn't I be?"
By now Auggie was scared, there were too many factors that did not seem to amount to anything. Small pieces of a puzzle that would not join together.
"Auggie, are you there?" her voice was muffled, as if she was trying to prevent someone from overhearing her.
"Yes, i'm always here, Annie. What's wrong?"
"There has been a threat"
Silence. A threat? Is that what all this commotion was about? The wait for a reply stretched on as Auggie tried to come to terms with the news that he had been given. It must have been a large scale attack for the CIA to become so involved, what could has possibly caused this effect?
Right now though, thoughts to the safety of America were no where near the top of his priorities. He needed to know that Annie was safe. That whatever had happened had not touched her at all. Selfish he knew, but she was the most important thing in his life right now.
"Annie," her name was almost a beg, "please tell me everything is okay with you."
Uncontrollable sobbing could be heard from the other end.
"I'm not Auggie, oh god, i'm not"
"Annie, your scaring me ..."
"It was me Auggie, I sent the threat"
Dun Dun Dun …... WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? :-)
