Annie glanced up from her desk as Jai came out of Joan's office, to her he looked deep in thought. She decided to ask him what went on in the "meeting" he had just vacated, "Hey Jai wait up!" She hollered across the DPD.

Jai looked up startled to see Annie walking across the room to join him. He had been sure she didn't trust him but evidently he had been wrong. "Whats up Walker?" he asked in a wary tone.

"Oh nothing to spectacular. I was wondering if maybe you would like to get some lunch." Annie had a plan and she knew how to get information. She was just hoping it wouldn't be to obvious to Jai.

"Sure. Is Auggie coming as well?" He really hoped the answer was a no. It would be so much easier to talk to her without her and Auggie's friendly flirtations.

"No." Although now Annie couldn't really think of a legitimate reason why she hadn't invited him.

Jai was relived. "So what sounds good?" Jai asked amazed that with all he knew about Annie he didn't know her favorite food.

"Hows Italian?" Annie was addicted to pasta. It helped that she could eat all of it that she wanted and never gained a pound.

"Sounds like a plan. Do you want to take one car or meet somewhere?" Jai didn't want to push his luck so he gave her the choice.

"We can ride in your car. You can pick whichever Italian place you like." Annie chose to ride in Jai's car for one reason, if they took hers then she would inevitably take him to her favorite spot and she didn't think that would be a good idea. Her plan would go off better in a neutral location.

Jai knew just the spot it was out of the way, not so much that it was a romantic spot per say but enough they didn't need a reservation. "Okay sounds great." He smiled.

"Alright I just need to go run something by Auggie and I will meet you out front." With that Annie sashayed off in the direction of the tech room, leaving Jai smelling a hint of grapefruit on the air as she went.

Auggie turned around as he heard the door to the tech room close. He heard the click of Annie's kitten heels on the linoleum, "Hey Annie how are you today?"

Annie propped her hip on the corner of his desk, "Good. I am going to lunch with Jai and was wondering if you still had that pin camera. And if you wouldn't mind ear-budding with me." Annie was very hopeful that Auggie would help her.

Auggie had to reign in on the jealous emotions that threatened to come bubbling out because Annie was going to lunch with Jai. But she had asked if he would basically be her "ear buddy". Auggie was glad he didn't have to say that one out loud because it sounded weird even to him. "Yes, I still have the pin and I would love to "ear-bud" with you." Auggie had to laugh at the "ear-bud" comment, "But what do you need all this for?"

Annie looked around and then leaned down to whisper in Auggie's ear, "I want to know what the meeting was about in Joan's office this morning. So I thought lunch with Jai would let me get that information."

Auggie was stunned, was she seriously trying to flirt information out of Wilcox? He had to admit it was a good plan but he wasn't sure he could listen to her flirt with Jai and not be physically ill. But he couldn't let Annie know what he felt right now, it wasn't like he was afraid of rejection, he just knew about how Annie felt about relationships considering how her last one ended. Auggie turned around and got the equipment that she had requested, "I'm here for you Annie."

That was all Annie needed to hear. "Thanks Auggie you're the best." Annie hugged him as she told him this, "I want to go over this after I get back to see if I miss anything during lunch, you up for it?"

"Of course." Auggie answered still smelling her perfume from the hug.

"Great! Wish me luck." Annie said as she walked away.

"You don't need it but, good luck Annie." Auggie said "Just don't fall for him Annie"
