Monday both Auggie and Annie were so caught up with Operation Grace that neither of them really had time to discuss what had happened the night before. After flooring it back to her apartment hoping the adrenalin rush would calm her nerves from what she almost told Auggie. After figuring out that she could not sleep she realized that telling Auggie how she felt could ruin everything she had worked for personally with Auggie and career wise at the DPD. She couldn't chance that she could lose that if he didn't feel the same, best she could do was concentrate on her mission and stay content with her relationship with Auggie. Two weeks basically flew by as Annie and Auggie found everything they could on the upcoming mission.

"Good morning Miss. Walker" Auggie said as he set a cup of coffee on Annie's desk. Slouched over piles of paperwork on her desk clearly exhausted she looked up at her best friend realizing who he was and what he had just sat down.

"Thank goodness Caffeine" she said grabbing the beverage and gulping it down hoping that it would give her some sort of wake up jolt. She had been up all night sorting through case files about the Ghazi group that other operatives had sent back and everything she could find on the tunnels in Jerusalem.

"Whoa there, someone's gonna get a buzz that way" Augggie said clearly amused hearing her scoff the drink down.

"A person can hope" she said polishing off the last of the coffee and running her hands through her hair. "Find anything on our guys?"

"Yes, actually I found a-."

"Auggie, Annie in my office" the blonde haired director Joan said interrupting the two. Before either of the two could answer Joan disappeared back into her domain.

"We've been summoned by the queen" Auggie joked "Shall we?" he said outstretching his arm for Annie to grasp. Annie groaned as she stood her back cracking as she arose.

"Auggie it is too early for you to be this perky."

"What can I say; it's part of my charm." As they filed into Joan's office she motioned for both of them to sit down while she finished a phone call. Joan then hung up the phone and walked around to the front of her desk smoothed her simple yet classy purple dress and leaned back as if saying she was ready.

"It's been two weeks since I have talked to either of you about Operation Grace. Our operatives have arrived back in the U.S. as of yesterday; I believe you received the files Annie? Also I have talked to the Israeli embassy the meeting is still set to go through on the previously set date so Annie you must be precise in finding where this operation is located we do not have much time." Joan paused for any questions then continued. "Now that I have told you what I have found tell me both of your Intel."

Auggie began, "I talked to a friend of mine in Jerusalem who has devoted his life to the study of the intricate tunnels within the city. After pulling a few strings he was able to give me these," he said holding up a thumb drive. Joan plugged it into her computer, opened the file it contained and pulled it up on the TV across from her desk. Suddenly multiple maps and 3d pictures appeared on the screen of the tunnels in Jerusalem. "Also," he continued "he said that there are some tunnels that are still public access so the group may have an entrance somewhere in one of those areas."

"Good work Auggie, that does still leave us from the look of these maps with hundreds of tunnels and entrances." Joan replied scanning through the maps.

"Looks like I have my hands full" Annie said leaning back. "Along with finding that Ameer and Amit are half- brothers I also have found that both were architects before their mother died and both know the tunnels probably like the back of their hands. Abd is a professional in explosives while Muhmen has contacts in weaponry."

"Annie you're going to be alone over there with the exception of us , this will be your hardest mission yet." Joan said

"I understand," Annie said standing up

"Ok you have what you need go get packed your flight leaves in an hour we will contact you with further information once you get there. Good luck" Joan said with an outstretched hand. Auggie handed Annie a flash drive in the shape of a ring to Annie with a copy of her data and maps on it. With that Annie left the office. Before she could get out the doors of the DPD Annie heard a familiar voice call out to her.

"Hey Walker!" it was Auggie, she walked back to him.

"Did I forget something?" she asked

"Yeah this" and with that he gave her a big hug and whispered in her ear "stay safe Annie"

She smiled with tears in her eyes as she gave him a hug back "I will."
