Chuck vs. The Ambulance
This takes place during the season 2 episode Chuck verses Santa Clause. What would happen if Sarah and Casey had missed the ambulance? And Fulcrum had gotten away with Chuck?
Chapter 1: Where's Chuck?
"Casey, what are we going to do? Fulcrum got Chuck!" Sarah gasped.
The ambulance is getting away. How could I miss? How could Casey? He's supposed to be the trained marksmen.
"We need to inform general Beckman that the asset has fallen into Fulcrum's hands."
"Is that all you can think of? What are we going to tell Ellie, Devon and Morgan?" Sarah's eyes widened at the realization. "Oh, my god! They're still trapped with Ned."
"Walker my toes slowing me down, go help everyone at Buy More. I'll head to Castle to call Beckman."
The metal gate's opening. Good, everyone's okay.
She looked to find Ned on the floor unconscious. Two sets of arms appeared out of nowhere; it was almost a second to late for Sarah to realize they belonged to Ellie and Awesome.
"Sarah, you're okay! Where's Chuck?" Ellie questioned with her signature stare with one eyebrow up and her head tilted.
Sarah stood dumbfounded even though she knew this question was coming.
I must look like a frightened deer in the headlights of a car to Ellie.
"Where's my brother?" Ellie asked a little louder. Devon sensing Ellie's distress calmly wrapped his arms around his future wife. Then stated simply "Sarah, what's wrong?"
"I…." And just as on queue Morgan walks over. "Sarah, glad you're okay. So, where's Chuck? I need to talk to him."
Morgan moved his head back and forth searching the room for his best friend. Then he focused on two things in particular. Sarah fallowed his gaze to Lester being pulled away smiling on a stretcher, then to Anna washing her mouth out with a Dr. Pepper.
I wonder what happened there?
"So, where is he?"
"I'm not sure." Sarah whispered.
"Didn't he go out of here with that Mauser guy?" Morgan questioned.
"Yes, but…."
"You saw him didn't you?" Ellie looked at Sarah with widened eyes.
What should I say? That Chuck got kidnapped and that you probably won't ever see him again, no, but I need to think of something. "I'm not sure where he is. Last I saw he was being driven away in an ambulance." Well, that's part of the truth anyway.
"Why would he be going to the hospital?" Ellie and Devon questioned. " He wasn't hurt was he? Because he seemed perfectly fine when he left."
"I don't think he was hurt."
"I know. Chuck probably went with Casey to the Hospital. I mean the guy just lost a part of his toe." Morgan mumbled.
"Sarah, is that possible? Did Chuck go with Casey?" Ellie questioned.
"Maybe. I'm not sure though." Why didn't I say yes? Ellie's getting tense and I need to think of something.
"I'll call the Hospital and see if they're there." Devon said while pulling out his phone.
"Devon, it's okay I'll call." Casey please be in Castle.
"Alright if you want to."
Sarah walked away and pulled out her phone. She dialed Casey.
"Casey I need you to go to Hospital now!"
"Walker, I'm fine."
"I know that. Morgan just gave us a cover for Chuck."
"What do you mean?"
"Chuck went with you to the hospital and his phone broke."
"Okay? Can't we just say that?"
"Ellie and Devon work at the hospital. So, they'll check that you've been there. Please Casey just go."
"Fine," he grunted.
"Chuck is with Casey at the hospital. They haven't been admitted yet."
"Why hasn't Chuck called me back then?" Morgan questioned.
"I talked to Chuck on Casey's phone. He says his phone broke during the whole hostage situation."
"Okay, then we'll see him at home tonight." Devon replied.
Think, Walker, think. "Chuck said he was going to stay with Casey and that it might take a while."
"That's nice of him." Ellie smiled. "That defiantly could take a while."
"Don't worry El we'll see him in the morning." Devon leaned over and kissed Ellie.
"Actually, I told Chuck to come with me to my room after the hospital. I didn't want him to bother you two. Plus, he doesn't have a car."
Ellie and Devon gave each other one of those knowing glances. Then simply replied "okay, see you two at dinner tomorrow then."
"I wouldn't miss Christmas dinner for anything in the world. But, you need one less plate. I don't think Anna's coming," Morgan cut in.
"Sorry, Morgan. I saw that kiss. But honestly I don't think it meant anything." Awesome replied after patting Morgan on the shoulder.
"I know, but she thinks I'm a coward," replied Morgan.
"Well Morgan I can't believe I'm saying this but, I'm glad you're celebrating with us."
"Thanks, Ellie."
"Since Chuck won't be home me and Ellie better get home for some early celebrating."
"Devon, gross," Ellie punched him.
"Well, I better meet up with Chuck and Casey," Sarah lightly chuckled.
Sarah walked out of the Buy More and hopped into her car. Then drove towards the hospital to meet Casey and plan out their next move.
