Still waiting. And still don't own Chuck or Eureka for that matter.

Hope you will enjoy. Wanted to try a preview of a bigger Chuck and Eureka story.

Chapter 1- The Break

Preface—Team Bartowski has been called to Eureka to solve a bomb threat.

Chuck and Zane were about two hours into hacking the GD lab system when Chuck announced, "Break time. I need a bite to eat. Is the cafeteria open?"

"I don't know, but there are some snack machines up at the dining hall. Let's go." Zane started out the lab with Chuck in tow.

"Oh these are cool." Chuck was standing in front of the vending machines.

"Yeah, they actually make the snack that you want. So, if you want an ice cream sundae, it will put the scoop in a bowl and what ever topping you want. There is a sandwich machine and a hot dish one too." Zane pointed down the line of machines.

"Great. Oh wow, neat your own selection of popcorn. And you can get it the old way."

"Yeah, it comes with a bunch of warning labels, but if you don't mind that."

"Sweet." Chuck was smiling.

Seated at one of the tables, no one else was in the dining hall.

"So what is it like working here?" Chuck started.

"Not bad, the meals are good."

"Not much to do?" He grabbed the popcorn.

"Well, sometimes it gets interesting."

"Like what, chasing down a few programs?"

"Yeah, not much." Zane got a drink. "So, what's it like for you."

"Oh, probably the same."

"Can't be. You got to be getting something."

"Oh well, yes that's nice." Chuck got a hand full of popcorn. "But you're not doing so bad."

"No, you're right. But got to risk your life to get somewhere."

"Tell me about it."

"Gun freak you know."

"Knives."

Zane took a big gulp. "So the job, what's it like? Adventure?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Fights."

"Yeah, sometimes." Chuck got another hand full.

"Jumping off buildings?"

"Oh yeah." He ate all of that hand full.

"A lot of girls?"

"Trying to stay with the one. The others are killers."

"Beautiful, huh?"

"Well, that too."

Zane nodded and took another gulp, "So the bad side?

"Yeah, there is some."

"Torture?"

"Yeah once." Another hand full.

"Bad?"

"Put me out."

"Ah."

"Yeah, well we better get back." Chuck finished the popcorn.

"Okay, sounds exciting."

"Not much more than what you have here."

"Yeah." Zane chugged the rest.

A/N The full story is almost done. Hope to start posting it on Thanksgiving. Please provide reviews on this. Remember:

So is a lot.
