Monday morning Allianna showed up at work. A sticky note was on her desk. 

"Meeting at 9AM. Get coffee and donuts. -JB" 

She saw his office door was closed she had donuts delivered as well as coffee. She wrote down all the messages. She seen him coming down the hall.

"Ms Thomas did you get my sticky note?" He said 

"Yes sir." She said as she followed him in. 

"I came by the office Saturday night after the ball. I couldn't find you at the ball to let you know." He said as he laid his keys phone and coffee down. 

"Oh.." she said 

Everyone began to file into the conference room. Bucky stood up and buttoned his suit jacket. 

"We have made quite the impression with the ABC network. They were at the ball and they are willing to give us a contract. But there is just one stipulation.." he said 

"What is that?" Sam said as everyone began to smile and get excited for their clients. 

"The girl. The girl I danced with they want her too.." he said 

"But she isn't one of my dancers. I don't have a Allie-Jo..you gotta give us more than that Bucky." Wanda said 

"I know I wish I had more. The execs got to me and it gave her a chance to disappear." Bucky said 

"So what do we do now?" Steve said 

"We find her. Duh Steve.." Bucky said 

"How in the hell are we suppose to find a girl that never revealed her face." Clint said 

"Ditto." Scott said 

"I don't know fucking figure it out. Ms Thomas..I need you in my office now.." Bucky said 

"Yes sir." He said as he walked out. 

She followed him to his office he shut the door. 

"Why were you late to the ball? You were the last to sign the guest book." He said 

"I had a last minute phone call that ran late." She said 

"Okay. Anyways..I have a very important job for you. Here are all the RSVPS and here is guest book. Double triple check everyone's name. See if she signed the guest book." Bucky said 

"Why do they want her?" She said 

"I don't know. But they were impressed by her dancing. So I'm going to assume they want her for a dancing show." He said 

She took the crate and guest book and left his office. Bucky walked over to his windows as he stared out over the city. 

"Where are you Allie-Jo? Who did you come with?" He thought to himself. 

All day long everyone did their best to check in with everyone that could possibly know her. Nobody knew who the mystery girl was Allianna let Bucky know there was no Allie-Jo on the guest book or RSVP list. 

That night as Bucky made his way home their dance trickled into his head. She had been haunting his mind since Saturday night. No matter how hard he tried nothing other than her name helped him figure out who she was. 

For two weeks the wild goose chase for this girl went on. Eventually everyone just started lie that they were working on it. Bucky was becoming undone over a girl he barely knew and it was becoming a problem.
