Chapter 2

He listened as Annie his best friend in the world and the person he trusted above all walked toward him through the parking garage. He knew it was her because he could smell her perfume and that distinct clicking of her heels on the pavement, both of which he had come to look forward to.

"Where can a girl get a fichus around here?" Annie says as she walks toward Auggie in the parking garage where he keeps his Corvette.

"About the fichus…" Auggie grimaces as he begins to unfold the dust cover of his Corvette.

"What?" Annie asks.

"Ah, don't' leave a live plant to a blind guy," Auggie says looking guilty.

Annie chuckles. As she goes to he helps Auggie unfold the cover off of his Corvette.

"Sorry" Auggie shrugs.

"It's Ok." Annie smiles.

"You OK?" Auggie asks with concern in his voice knowing what she has gone through.

"Well…rough couple of days. You?" Annie says trying to avoid the subject a little.

"Rough couple of days. I heard." Auggie says with that I know what happened tone in his voice.

Annie went to sit against the trunk of the car while Auggie stuffed the cover behind the passenger seat.

As Auggie walked around the back of the car he could tell Annie was having a hard time, "I'm sorry, Annie, but your life is going to change. Inside the agency and out."

"I can still feel the recoil of the gun" Annie said as she tried to keep her composure." The acid smell of the bullet, and the echo. Time stops."

Auggie turns to Annie, "You know you don't have to go through this alone. The agency has people you can talk to."

Annie smiled softly," The person I want to talk to is you." She said as she slide her hand over his hand, interlaced their fingers, and takes a deep breath to ready herself to tell him how she fells.

Auggie smiled not being able to seeing the look on her face and said, "Well how fortuitous." Not seeing that she was looking at him with longing in her eyes he went on," Because I have something that I wanted to talk to you about too."

Auggie reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small manila folder and hands it to Annie.

She grabs it quickly out of his hands, "Another mission?"

"Not exactly", Auggie says as she turns the envelope over into her hand.

Clink, keys fall into her hand. She turns to Auggie with a look of confusion on her face.

"Your giving me your car?" she says as she turns the keys over in her hand and smiles.

"I'm moving on" a concerned look falls across Annie's face," and you need some cheering up. Knowing how fast you like to drive, this ought to do it."

Annie laughs and says, "Well why don't we take her for a spin?" As she playfully nudges Auggie and gives him a flirty look that of course he cannot see.

"Oh", Auggie laughs saying, "Actually, I have a plane to catch now. "

Annie's faces loses all signs of happiness as she says, "Where to?"

"I'm going to Africa." Annie looks into Auggie eyes as he says, "Going to look somebody in the eye, so to speak, and say what I need to say."

Annie is at a loss for words, a stricken look upon her face. Suddenly she realizes the silence that hangs between them and before Auggie has time to realize she had come here to do the same thing she jumps up and says, "Well, uh, well whoever it is I hope they hear you." She looks at him with pain in her eyes, "I know she will."

"Well, you know you wanna drive it, so drive it."

She looks at him briefly with tears in her eyes and turns on a dime and runs to the driver's seat of the car.

Not really knowing why she ran away so quickly Auggie says," I can literally hear you smiling." As he walks around to the driver's door.

Annie starts the car, "Any tips?" she asks as he leans on the car door at her level, trying hard to hide her breaking heart.

Auggie grabs her arm, "Give her all you have got, Walker, she can take it." After patting her arm he turns to walk away as she reeves the engine and squeals out of the parking garage.

Had he missed something? Shaking his head he called the office and asked the switchboard to transfer him to Danielle's cell phone.
