Disclaimer: Don't own Chuck or Anna.
A/N: Yay! Season 1 is complete, and Wepdiggy is now caught up on the Chuck Me Mondays Challenge! This chapter is a far cry from everything else up until this point. Almost everything so far has been inside Anna's head. This one is almost all dialogue. Hopefully you'll enjoy the change of pace, as we end season one. Thank you for reading, and please review. Thanks!
Anna vs. the Marlin
Anna hears the buzzing of her phone and rolls over to get it from her nightstand. She glances at the clock that sits beside it, and is dismayed to find the time is…
"Three AM, Morgan," she groans, answering the phone.
"Anna Banana, I know it's early – or late, I guess, depending on your point of view. Would you call it early or late? I would usually say early myself, but seeing as I haven't been to sleep…"
"Morgan!" she bellows. "This had better be damned good to wake me up in the middle of the night. I mean either someone's dead good, or you won the lottery and we're moving away to Maui good. So which is it?" she asks, none of the steel leaving her voice.
"Well, umm…it's none of those. It's just…"
"Morgan," she growls.
"We've lost him, Anna," Morgan replies, defeat clear in his words.
"Lost who?" she asks, still clearly perturbed.
"Chuck. He's, he's," Morgan can't even get the words out.
"Oh my God! Morgan, what's wrong with Chuck? Is he hurt? Is he in the hospital?" Anna is now fully awake, and in a panic of her own. She hates to think that something may have happened to the fearless leader of the Nerd Herd.
"No, it's not that. It's that… Anna, I found a ring in his locker. He's going to propose to Sarah. We've lost him," he wails again. The bearded man is clearly near tears.
"He's – he's going to propose? Morgan, that's great! Wait, that's what you woke me up for?" she asks, the annoyance returning to her speech. "That was your big emergency?"
"I don't think you see the severity of this situation," he says.
"Morgan, I am going to hang up the phone now, and if you like your manhood where it is, and if you like where you occasionally get to put it, you'll not call back again tonight. We'll talk about this tomorrow."
You guys are awesome. Peace.
