Assisted transfer is when A and C can converse until A hangs up, at which 
point B and C are talking and A is out of the loop.

If you just want B to be transfered back to A if C does not answer that should 
be possible with a little dialplan magic wherein you set a channel var and if 
the transfer times out it dials A back I think...   I have not done it, I'm 
just thinking out loud here.
