Chuck was ready when they got the call. Vivian and Bryce were in the air. Morgan stayed behind in Moscow to keep the base running and the CIA brought in a few techs to help him. The rest of Team B was loaded on the Plane streaking across the poles then landing in Macao faster than Vivian's plane. During the flight the Plane transformed to USA markings. Casey had to admire Orion Tech. Both Casey and Sarah had to change uniforms and were back in civilian dress by the time they had landed.
The CIA already had facilities here and Chuck as Senior took control of several offices and set up their equipment. The rest of the base wondered… Who these people were?
Chuck was eating his sizzling shrimp when Bryce's signal came online. He had been monitoring their conversation for awhile but this was the first indication that they were approaching Macao airspace. It seemed like Vivian really had feelings toward Bryce. Bryce seemed to reciprocate. Chuck was having LARA monitor them.
Sarah came over and wrapped her hands around his neck.
"Hello beautiful" Chuck spun in his chair to face her then gave her a playful kiss.
"Hello Chuck that is nice… So how are the two love birds?" Sarah asked.
Very smitten…!" Chuck said looking at her. LARA has been monitoring them both. "It is love is in the air!"
"That is good." Sarah said. "So how soon till they are on the ground?"
"Well at current speed about 2 hours." Chuck said.
"Well I know what we could do to occupy our time for two hours." Sarah said seductively.
The idea Sarah had was playing UNO which Chuck was winning.
"That was a great idea honey." Chuck said winning again then kissed his partner.
"I never want to play against you again! Bartowski" Casey grumbled.
"Poor Casey you just do not like getting beat?" Carina purred. "I know something you might like."
"Carina can't you keep it in your pants!" Casey growled.
"I think it is just you being sour grapes Casey. You know Chuck would never cheat!" Sarah said.
"Yeah I know but he always wins!" Casey said grumpily.
"Guys…Guys LARA just alerted me. Vivian is on the ground! It is Show time." Chuck said.
"Chuck can you hear me?" Vivian asked.
"Yeah Vivian we are here. Don't worry we got your back. So you and Bryce huh…?" Chuck asked.
"Chuck you know a gentleman never tells!" Bryce said cutting in.
"Right you are Bryce. Ok you've got the coin then as Orion said drop it inside the Mainframe." Chuck said.
"Of course we have to get access to it first." Bryce said.
"Not a problem we are going to cause a diversion forcing them to allow you entrance." Chuck said.
"What sort of diversion?" Bryce asked.
"You will know when it happens. Just be ready." Chuck said.
"Ok you all know your parts Carina you cut the alarms…Casey you have the wheel…Sarah and I are off to rob the most secure bank in the world!" Chuck smirked.
Both dressed in outfits befitting the Matrix. Both Chuck and Sarah started shooting up the place. The customers were scared and ran out of the place. Vivian was escorted into the mainframe area since it was the only secure place in the bank.
"What is going on?" Vivian asked.
"So sorry Vivian I'm a bit busy creating this diversion have you dropped the coin?"
"Yeah but Bryce was left outside!" Vivian said.
"Don't worry about me Princess I am fine." Bryce cut in.
"Ok mission is accomplished grab the loot and let's get out of here!" Chuck said as Sarah and he danced their way out the door. Carina carried the loot outside. They all got in the van then using Orion Tech transformed the vehicle to look like any other van in the area.
They got away clean. After the bank robbery the authorities allowed the Bank patrons trapped in the mainframe area out in confusion. Vivian finished signing her name to all the accounts then left.
Orion was alerted as soon as the coin was deployed and then he started searching all expenditures. He found one very interesting Norseman.
Chuck and Company loaded up then flew back to LA. Mission accomplished.
Vivian chose to go back to LA too. So her flight with Bryce took off leaving Riley behind. He was going back to Moscow on a commercial flight.
Orion started systematically liquidating missions. Soon the Name Volkoff was synonymous with Welcher in the arms trade.
Vivian really did not care what the shape of the company was in. She and Bryce were living it up in LA. They were seen together at all the swankiest clubs and hotels. She was really enjoying her life as a CEO as the company bled money.

Frost had returned to Washington. She was ushered into Diane's Office.
"I like the way you decorated Diane." Mary said looking around.
"Well you were the one to teach me all about that Mary!" Diane said hugging her Sister.
"Yes it good to see you again Diane…I hear I missed many things in my 10 year absence." Mary said.
"Yeah…You did… I kept an eye on Both Eleanor and Charles for you…" Diane explained.
"Thank You Diane so bring me up to speed…Where is Graham?" Mary asked noticing she was in the Director's chair.
"Graham is no more…He got blown up by Alexi Volkoff." Diane said.
"What about Albert? You are still together?" Mary asked.
"Albert and I are no longer. He passed 10 years ago from a brain hemorrhage." Diane said.
"Oh I'm so sorry Diane I did not know what about Montgomery? Ah I see he kept the torch all these years!" Mary said with a sparkle in her eye.
"Ok Mary enough of tripping down memory lane… What do you want to do? You have been out of the loop for 10 years." Diane said.
"Well I was thinking of retiring…Ellie is pregnant and I should be there for her." Mary said.
"That is one option but you have so much training it would be a waste to lose it especially when there are Alexi's plants everywhere in the CIA. We need your leadership." Diane said.
"Well I would like to do that but I have missed so much already…I could not possibly be tied down here in Washington. Ellie is in LA and so is Orion. I can not be apart." Mary said.
"Ok Mary I understand but what if we created a new training facility? Take the best of the Farm and have you individually train them. Would that be of an interest?" Diane asked. "I mean you did a hell of a job on your kids! Ellie is amazing even being pregnant and Chuck well there are no words to describe his abilities."
Mary thought about that for awhile.
"You know that might work but I would need to be the one to choose." Mary said.
"Of course but that means you have to observe their training at the farm." Diane said.
"The best way to do that is for me to be an instructor there…I understand Roan is teaching there?" Mary asked as her Sister turned bright red. "Oh you two are an item!"
"Yes Mary we are. Now leave my love life out of this! So are you going to accept the position?" Diane asked.
"Yeah Diane I will…" Mary said.
"Good I will make all the arrangements. Welcome Back Agent Frost." Diane said.
"It is good to be back Diane! You need to make me there a Martial Arts instructor." Mary suggested.
"Yes of course you were always the best at that." Diane said. "You do know you still have your office."
"What in that lower level dungeon I thought you would have mothballed that years ago." Mary said.
"It was until recently. Orion has brought in some of his toys and is beginning to share them again. One of the stipulations was your office." Diane said.
"Stephen…" Mary said with a smile on her face thinking about the performance her husband was capable of last night.
"Yes Mary you were the lucky one capturing his heart!" Diane said.
"Yes I was! So I heard Ted is dead?" Mary said.
"Yes he was killed by Alexi Volkoff." Diane said. "He was also the head of Fulcrum which we learned after his death. Orion can fill you in on all those details."
"So many changes since I was gone…Sometimes I am wondering why I came back?" Mary said.
"Don't think like that Mary you have your whole family now." Diane said.
"Yeah but they really do not need me. The times they did I was gone." Mary said sadly.

Mary left her Sister's office and headed down to her Office. On the way she passed Joan.
"Oh Joan you are looking good." Mary said.
"Mary? Mary Bartowski is that really you!" Joan said squealing.
"Yeah it is me… I was out of the loop for a good long while but now I am back." Mary said. "Look at you is its Arthur's?"
"Yeah it is his and we are having a son." Joan said.
"Well congratulations. You deserve to be happy Joan." Mary said.
Auggie and Annie were chatting then they stopped. Joan saw them and beckoned them over,
"Joan who are you talking to?" Auggie asked.
"Oh Auggie this is Mary Bartowski or commonly known as Frost. She was my first Training officer out of the Farm." Joan gushed.
"Oh 'The Frost'…? Well it is a pleasure to meet you." Auggie said.
"Auggie is blind" Joan explained.
"Oh I see well nice to meet you too Auggie." Mary said.
"This is his partner Annie Walker." Joan said.
"I am pleased to meet the agency's legend." Annie said.
"Likewise… It was nice to meet you too Annie." Mary said.
"So what are you doing here?" Joan asked.
"Joan I am going to be teaching at the farm then I am going to select a trainee to train one on one with me in a facility in LA." Frost said.
"So are you strictly doing new recruits?" Annie asked.
"Well that part had not come up in discussions with Diane." Mary replied.
"Diane…?" Annie asked.
"Oh Diane Beckman…Mary's Sister is the interim Director of the CIA…That Diane." Joan filled in.
"Oh General Beckman is your Sister?" Auggie said.
"Oh yes in the day they were quite a team" Joan said.
"Quiet Joan you are making me feel old." Mary said.
"So Annie what do you want to ask?" Joan asked.
"Well with the situation with Jay and all that I would not mind training under Frost." Annie said "If it was available that is."
"Well Annie is my most prized agent right now and she could be more useful if you did train her." Joan said.
"I see well I guess I do have discretion on who I teach." Mary said. "I will talk it over with Diane and by the end of the day there will be some sort of answer."
"Right well Auggie and I have to be getting back." Annie said. "I am happy to bump into you in the hall Frost."
"It was nice meeting both of you Annie and Auggie." Mary said.
"Well Mary it is good to see you back…I hope you and Stephen will drop by the house while you are in DC." Joan said.
"Yeah well about that I may not stay much longer but I will keep the invitation in mind if I come back here." Mary said.
Mary headed to her office and fired up her computer. She took a look at Annie Walker's scores and evals. Making up her mind she called her Sister.
"Diane Mary I was wondering can you put the instructor job on hold? I found my first trainee, Annie Walker." Frost said.
"Ok Mary you have your trainee…There was not a slot opened at the farm anyway this way we do not have to shuffle personnel around." Diane said. "I have heard all good things about her."
Mary hung up the phone and called Joan.
"Hi Joan it is about that discussion in the hall?" Mary asked.
"Which one is this about Annie's request?" Joan asked.
"Yes it is… Create the orders to transfer her to Castle in LA immediately. Also include Anderson too. He would like to meet Orion." Mary said.
\\\\\
Annie was leaning against Auggie's desk humming a tune. Auggie was keeping time with her humming. George another analyst came up to him…
"Auggie you lucky dog you are heading to LA to meet with Orion! I can not believe your luck!" George said.
"Wait George… where did you hear that?" Auggie said.
"From Julie my girlfriend in personnel it is all over the building by now! Congrats! Working with a living legend like him! It is a nerd's dream come true!" George said. "I sure envy you!"
"Well thanks George." Auggie said looking at Annie.
"Working with Orion? How cool is that!" Auggie said geeking out.
"Wait Frost mentioned that to us in the hall so if you are going to work with Orion then I'm going to be trained by Frost!" Annie said hugging Auggie! "We need to pack! LA here we come!"
Joan appeared at the door.
Annie, Auggie can you come into my office? Joan said.
"This is it! Yes!" Annie said as Joan left.
Both Annie and Auggie were standing in Joan's office.
"So you wanted to see us?" Annie asked smiling.
"Yes I did I see the rumor mill is working over time but this time I can honestly say it is correct. Here are your orders. Congratulations to the both of you! This is a permanent relocation. You are to train and become part of Team B." Joan said.
Permanent relocation…? Wait Auggie these orders are for appearing tomorrow we leave now! Annie said.
"What Annie are you sure?" Auggie said having not finished reading the orders which are in Braille.
"Yes Auggie I am sure. Joan… What about our apt and Danielle's house?" Annie asked. "What is team B?"
"Both will be packed by the cleaners and sent to your new location." Joan said. "Congrats again. Team B is the most successful of all CIA teams. You will know more once you get there. I don't even know all the details of Team B."
"I see well thanks Joan I will clean out my desk." Annie said.
"No need just take your personal items everything else will be sent to you." Joan said smiling. "Your transport is waiting at Reagan National. You have only 40 mins to catch it."
