A/N: Finally, one of the biggest Anna stories! This will take place after the episode, and it involves Anna's NSA recruitment. And what the hell, a little Morgan bashing just for kicks, haha. I hope you enjoy it, and please read and review!
"Hello?"
"Is Ms. Anna Wu in, please?" says the voice on the other end of the phone.
"She's incarcerated at the moment, can I take a message?"
"Incarcerated? She's in prison?"
"No, I mean she's busy. Was 'incarcerated' the wrong word? Should I have said decapitated? I always get those two confused."
"That will be quite alright…sir. Have a good day," the steely voiced man says, hanging up the phone on Morgan.
Anna walks into the room drying her hair. She heard Morgan's end of the conversation, but then, her training at a younger age has given her the ability to hear more than the average person. It's that training that allowed her to beat the snot out of Mitt today, in defense of Morgan.
Anna always tried to keep those close to her from learning about her actual past, and showing off her fighting skills in front of her boyfriend was the last thing she wanted to do. But now the cat is out of the bag. Morgan knows Anna can kick ass, and take names. So far it hasn't proven to be a problem. Anna was worried that her little bearded lover would feel emasculated by having a ninja girlfriend. Such doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe in time, she can show Morgan more of the "true" Anna Wu.
"So who was that?" she asks Morgan, as she walks over to sit on his lap.
"Oh, uh, I don't know. They wouldn't tell me. They asked for you, and then I told them you were decapitated, and they hung up."
Anna rolls her eyes. She might find it annoying just how clueless her boyfriend can be if it wasn't so damn cute.
"Morgan, if you told them my head has been removed from my body, and they were looking for me, I would imagine that they either thought you were pranking them, or they were dismayed at my untimely passing," Anna says, as if she's speaking to a small child. Of course, in some ways, she kind of is speaking to a small child, so it's fitting.
"Oh, is that what that means?" Morgan asks.
Anna smiles a condescending smile, and pats his head. She kisses him on the cheek, and just laughs. A small laugh, but it feels good to have someone to make her laugh nonetheless.
The phone rings again. This time, Anna reaches for it before Morgan can scare away another caller.
"Hello?" Anna says.
"Is this Ms. Anna Wu?" The voice is cold, and almost robotic.
"Yes, this is Ms. Wu. What can I do for you today?"
"Ms. Wu, I'll make this short and simple. How would you like to serve your country?"
"I'm sorry, what?" Anna asks, taken aback by the odd question.
"We at the NSA have been made aware of your abilities. We would like to test you for possible employment with the government. Would you agree to set up a test date?"
Anna looks around her apartment, quickly shifting her eyes back and forth. It was so long ago that she trained to be a deep-cover DEA agent before her father found out and pulled her from the program. It almost seems like a lifetime ago. There was nothing she wanted more in the world, back then. Now? Well, Anna has set up a nice life for herself. She has friends, and a boyfriend, and things are just going so well. Could she sacrifice that? Could she go back to the covert world?
"I'm sorry," Anna says quickly, not wanting to talk about this in front of Morgan. "Can you call back? Say tomorrow, around 10?"
A/N: You guys are awesome. Peace.
