We definitely aren't seeing this one, but I'm taking a little bit of what's in the preview and twisting it to have some fun.
Annie stormed into the office and went straight to TechOps. She pulled the door shut as Auggie pulled the headphones off. She squatted next to him.
"What's going on?" Auggie asked.
"I'm interrogating you." Annie replied.
"For real, or as foreplay for celebration sex?"
"For real." Annie replied, her cold tone revealing to him how serious she was.
"Okay." Auggie replied, giving her his full attention.
"When, exactly, was the last time you talked to Helen?"
"July 19, 2006, at approximately 900 hours Central European Time." He replied, methodically.
"And that's the truth?"
"Do we need to go to polygraph?" Auggie asked.
"I know damned well you can fool those machines." Annie replied, more lightly. "Log out, we are out of here."
"Now is it time for foreplay?" Auggie asked as he shut down his computer and grabbed his cane.
Annie stood on her toes and whispered in his ear. "You aren't getting laid tonight."
The smile fell from Auggie's face. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah. Just, come on."
Auggie took Annie's elbow and followed her through the bullpen. They made it all the way to the elevators before Calder caught up. "Where, exactly, are you two going?"
"Do we need a hall pass?" Auggie replied.
"Walker, I need a debrief on the FBI investigation."
"I already gave it to Joan." Annie lied.
"I need to talk to you about your new NOC." He added.
Annie sighed. "It's been a really long week. Can we talk about this tomorrow?"
Calder glared at the couple before him. "The two of you have a reputation for a stellar work ethic, never leaving early and rarely taking vacations. Now you suddenly want to run out the door at five o'clock?"
"It's six-thirty." Annie replied.
"Fine. Be back at eight tomorrow." Calder said before almost stomping back to the DPD.
"You know he thinks I'm getting laid tonight." Auggie stated once they were in the elevator.
"That's better than the alternative." Annie replied.
"And what, exactly, is this alternative?"
"We have to talk to Arthur."
"About what?"
"Something that Henry told me."
"Which was?"
"I don't want to tell the story twice."
Annie made the drive to the Campbell house in far less time than it should have taken. She turned off the ignition and took a deep breath.
"I hope he's home. Would hate for you to keep me in the metaphorical dark for nothing."
"Yeah." Annie said, less than confident. "Let's do this."
"I'd feel a whole lot better if I knew what we were doing." Auggie said as he got out of the car.
Annie brushed his arm and they walked to the front door. "I'm sorry, Auggie." She said, softly, after ringing the bell.
He gave her a confused look, but the door opened before he could ask anything.
"What are you two doing here?" Arthur asked.
"Henry Wilcox just told me that Helen is still alive." Annie stated, without hesitation.
Auggie's face was pure shock, looking toward Annie.
Arthur simply looked resigned. "I should have known that he would figure that out." He explained.
"What do you mean?" Annie asked. She could tell that Auggie was getting angrier.
"Helen is Theresa Hamilton." Arthur explained. "The pictures that came from Henry, he was DCS when Helen was supposedly killed."
"Supposedly?" Auggie growled.
"I'm sorry Auggie." Arthur said with sincerity.
Without hesitation or warning, Auggie punched Arthur in the face.
"AUGGIE!" Annie shouted, trying to hold him back from causing any more damage. Arthur stepped back into the house, holding his hand over his nose.
"You asshole." Auggie stated.
"It was for your own protection." Arthur replied. His voice slightly altered by the pressure on his nose.
"Bullshit."
"She wanted to go dark. It was her plan all along." Arthur explained.
"Come on, Annie." Auggie said, turning away from the door.
She looked at the trusted former leader in the doorway and back to her boyfriend. Without another word, she led Auggie back to the car.
Neither of them said a word until they were driving away.
"That was hot." Annie finally said.
Auggie composed himself and let a small grin escape. "Your idea of foreplay never ceases to amaze me, Walker."
So, do you think he's getting laid?
