(A/N: I'm back! Hope you like this chapter! I do not own Covert Affairs, or any of its characters, if I did I would not make my viewers wait till next summer to find out what happens next between Annie and Auggie, (I'm just a little bitter!) Anyway I only own, Andie, Addie and the Bunkers! Enjoy!)
Joan looked up when she heard knocking on her door. "Ah, Auggie, come in."
"Did you have any luck on finding information on Andie's foster parents?" Auggie asked as he found a seat.
"I did," Joan sighed, "But, I can't do anything until she tells us what happened. Because they are denying harming her."
"I know they hurt her, Joan!" Auggie defended his sister, "One: Andie wouldn't lie, and two: She is so scared of them, you should've seen/heard her reaction when she thought she was still with them. She said they hit her hard, just for not getting a 100% on an assignment."
"I believe you, Auggie, I really do. But I cannot do anything until she opens up," Joan told him.
"I want her to have protection, on the chance they come looking for her. I just want her to be safe," Auggie said.
"She can stay in here with me while you are here at work. She will be safe. I will keep her safe," Joan told him.
"You mean that, Joan?" Auggie asked.
"I do," Joan said.
"Um, can you call down to the lobby and tell them Annie can bring her up then?"
"Sure," Joan smiled as she went to her phone, "Yes, this is Joan Campbell, I need you to allow Annie Walker to bring up Amanda Anderson, please. Thank you. They are on their way, Auggie."
"Thank you, I mean it, I just found her I can't lose her. Speaking of finding my sister, any news on Addison? Please, I need her too, she just turned nine. I never forgot their birthdays. Please Joan please give me good news," Auggie begged.
Joan sighed again, "Well, the good news is I found her."
"The bad news?" Auggie had many possibilities running in his head hoping none of them was it.
"We can't get to her."
"Wh-what do you mean we can't get to her?!" Joan turned to see Andie in her doorway.
"Joan, my sister Andie, Andie this is Joan. Now, what she said," Auggie said.
"Her foster family moved out of the country, they took her with them."
"No, no, that can't be," Auggie denied it all.
"Can't you bring the family back or send me and them to see her?" Annie asked.
"Well, there is more to it," Joan said, "The parents, Jack and Marisol Bunker, are suspected of arms deals from us to Israelis."
"We can go covertly," Annie suggested.
"With what kind of stagey?" Joan asked.
"We want to buy some guns from them," Annie suggested again.
"You think they would buy that?" Auggie asked.
The wheels were turning in Andie's head, "Maybe. If we convince them we need the fire power to get revenge on the people who hurt our brother. Who blinded him…"
"That could work," Auggie said.
"Well, looks like we may have to recruit you early, Andie," Joan said impressed, "I'll tell you what, you guys make your plan, I mean we want the parents anyway, and I will go with you to present the plan to Arthur. Do your research and get back with me by the end of the day."
"Auggie," Andie whispered as they left Joan, "We are going to get Addie!"
"We are, sis. We are going to get the littlest Anderson back!" Auggie whispered back as the three of them made their way to his office.
End of the day in Joan's office
"Are you ready?" Joan asked the three of them, smiling.
"Yes," Andie answered for them.
"Well, then shall we go see Arthur?" Joan asked holding the door open.
"Right behind you, And," Auggie said giving her a side hug before grabbing Annie's elbow.
"Follow me, Andie," Joan said leading the way to the elevators.
"Arthur? Do you have a moment?" Joan said walking into his office with her small team following behind.
"Um, depends, dear, what do you need?" Arthur asked watching them curiously.
"Well, really, authorization to go after the Bunkers, Jack and Marisol," Joan said plainly.
"THE Bunkers, as in the arms dealers, who are betraying their country, and keeping a foster child and not letting her contact anyone?" Arthur asked to make sure he understood what she was asking and she just nodded.
"What are they doing to the girl, sir?" Andie asked trying to hold back a whimper, she had to be strong for Addie… and Auggie, she told herself.
"Well, I'm not sure I should be telling you," Arthur told her with apology dripping from his words.
"Actually if their plan goes well, I want to talk to you about recruiting this young girl early. Arthur, I want you to meet the very smart sister of our very own Tech Ops Auggie Anderson. Arthur, this is Amanda Anderson. Andie, this is my husband, Arthur Campbell. Please answer her question," Joan introduced them.
"Well, from what we can see from satellite images they are using the girl as a messenger, she tries to refuse but is beaten into cooperating," Arthur saw Auggie's grip tighten on his walking stick, and Andie pale.
Annie rested a hand on Auggie's shoulder, he slumped in obvious pain, and Andie curled herself into him to keep from losing her tears. Arthur turned to see Joan almost fall and caught her, "Joan, are you alright? What's going on?"
Joan was fighting her own tears, "Arthur, the girl, she is Addison Anderson, Andie and Auggie's nine year old sister."
Arthur nodded in understanding, "So, really this is a rescue mission? And bringing in the Bunkers is basically collateral damage?"
Hearing the tone in his voice, Joan looked up to him and with her eyes pleading she whispered, "Please let them, it's really important to them and you get the Bunkers, Arthur. You would get the credit."
Arthur rested his hand on her hand that was gripping his shirt to try to get her to relax and whispered, "I fully intend to let them do this." Arthur turned to the trio, "IF their plan is good."
"It is," Andie said confidence filling her so she stood up straight, "I love Addie. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her; we need her. I know this plan will work."
Arthur sat in a chair guiding Joan to the one next to it, "Let's hear it."
Andie took a file from Annie and laid it on the table in front of her and handed out a passport each to Annie and Auggie, and spread the other papers on the table so she could see them. "Mr. Campbell, sir," Andie began.
Arthur smiled at her, "Arthur, please, Amanda."
Andie smiled back before politely correcting him, "Everyone calls me Andie."
"Andie it is then," Arthur agreed, "You were saying?"
"Alright if you would humor us a bit, pretend you are Jack and Marisol, and we need your services," Andie said.
"I like this girl," Arthur whispered to Joan who smiled. He turned back to Andie, "We are Jack and Marisol Bunker. And you are?"
Andie smiled her way of saying "thanks" and continued the charade, "Well, Jack and Marisol, My name is Gemma Orton, and this is my brother and sister, Johanna and Trent. We hear you are experts in weapon sales."
Joan smiled. "It seems word gets around, Jack. Well, Gemma, what did you have in mind?"
Annie stepped up, "We need heavy artillery."
It was Arthur's turn, "I see may I ask what for it may help narrow down what you are looking for."
Annie and Andie stepped back to stand next to Auggie, hate dripped from their voices, "Revenge."
"See, a while back, a bomb almost hit us when we were walking down the street minding our own business, Trent lost his sight, for the last few months we have been with him in America helping him recover and relearn everything. Now, we are going to get revenge on them," Andie explained.
Arthur looked at them for a long while, "I see. I believe it, and I know the truth. It's a good plan, Andie, Auggie and Annie. Now about Addison what is the plan for her?" He asked obviously slipping back into the role of director.
"Addie is a plan as we go case, I mean the last time we saw her she was three she may not remember us," Auggie explained.
"I see, well, let me verify some things to make them move faster and you will be talking to them by this time tomorrow," Arthur decided as he looked at the papers covering the table. "Go home, and pack your things."
