Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck.

Chapter 1: Stalkers Revealed

Maybe he's just being paranoid but he feels like he is being followed. This is not something new though. Chuck has been feeling like this for days now. He had tried to look around to see if could catch someone but every time he looked no one was there. At least he didn't see anyone. He just can't shake this feeling. He wanted to talk to Casey and Sarah about this but he didn't want to come off as paranoid. They were just starting to see and respect him as a real spy. He needed to come to them with more than a bad feeling. Plus there were personal reasons for not wanting to talk to them, at least not yet.

Casey seemed to be finding more and more things to be mad at him for everyday. He still hadn't gotten over Chuck and Sarah having sex in the Vic. Now Ellie's intervention attempt and the revelation of everything that Chuck and Sarah had been saying about Casey had made Casey even madder. Chuck didn't even think that was possible. Casey might have gotten over the whole sex in the Vic incident. Hell, he rarely ever mentions the Vic that Chuck blew up anymore. However, this intervention incident wasn't going to be so easy for Casey to forgive. Problem was that Casey hated the fact that he had to go along with the whole intervention. They had painted him in a corner that Casey couldn't get out of. His only way out would be Ellie learning the truth about Chuck. Chuck felt bad for Casey because he knew his sister was going to give a hundred percent in trying to help Casey. Chuck had caught her stopping by Casey's apartment to give him pamphlets. Of course, he would later find those same pamphlets on his bed looking like Casey had used them for target practice. Really that's not the real reason, Chuck hates the thought of Casey doubting his abilities as a spy. Casey may be angry with him but Chuck never doubts that Casey trusts him on a mission. Chuck is proud of that. He has seen Casey interact with other agents. Casey doesn't trust many if any so Chuck doesn't want to lose his trust. He doesn't want to give Casey a reason for doubting him now.

Sarah was a different matter. Their relationship was doing well. She told him that she loved him. Chuck is still on cloud nine because of that. He will never get tired of hearing her say that, which she is saying now more freely. Hearing the words had eased so much of the doubt that Chuck had been feeling. She loved him. He loved her. Yes, there were still other things that they had to discuss, mainly Shaw, but he knew where they stood with each other. The rest would take time but they would be able to figure it out together. Of course, she was feeling better physically and she definitely was trying to make up for lost time. He doesn't believe that they could have had that much sex in the time she was sick but she keeps reminding him that she was right before and she's right now. Sarah had been saying that sex while she was sick wouldn't be bad for her but might be good. To Chuck that was just crazy logic. However, they put that theory to the test when he started to feel sick. She had first been furious but then became very aggressive. An aggressive Sarah Walker is unbelievably sexy. Yes, Sarah is sexy all the time but it goes up another notch when she becomes aggressive. Then there was the fact that she was wearing the Wienerlicious outfit with no underwear. He made a futile protest but he knew he wouldn't deny her. Then when he woke up without even the hint of a sniffle, she took that as a sign that she was right and she wouldn't let him hear the end of it. He didn't mind though. It was cute seeing her like this. She was so reserved around people that seeing her so unguarded was amazing. Problem was that if he told her about this, she would become his protector and no longer his partner or his lover, his equal. It was still an undeniable fact of their relationship: part of Sarah would always see him as an asset to protect. He didn't want her to be his protector but if she thought he was in danger, she would no matter what. Hell, the woman shot his sister with a tranq dart and drove through L.A. traffic while heavily medicated to try to protect him.

He needed to handle this on his own for the moment. He continued walking down the street to get to the Nerd Herder. He tried to quiet his mind and listen. He slowed his walk down a little. He focused himself on his surroundings and that's when he heard it. It was a footstep. He stopped and so did the person behind him. He took a few more steps and could hear corresponding footsteps. He took a look at his surroundings and allowed the Intersect to take over.

Before he even knew what was really happening, his body started to move. He flashed on some sort of gymnastic maneuvers because he ended up doing a couple of flips and other maneuvers that he isn't sure his body should be able to do. Somehow he ends up behind where he had heard the footsteps last. He saw a figure in front of him but his focus was off. The flips must have left him dizzy or something which was weird. He didn't remember other flashes doing that to him. This isn't good as his stalker ends up kicking him the gut and following up with right to the face. Chuck is on the ground and his stalker tries to get away. Chuck is able to trip them.

"Ow!" There comes a distinctly female cry. Chuck gets up and to get a look at the woman. What he finds surprises him.

"You!" The moment of surprise costs him as the woman kicks him in the groin and follows up with a kick to the head. Chuck is down on the ground. He hears running.

"Oh god. Figures the kid of John Casey would know how to fight. Ow!" His wounded body and pride try to get up. He has to find Casey.

She can't stop feeling like this. She feels that someone is watching her. It has been something she has been feeling for the last few days. She wants to tell someone but she doesn't know who she could tell. So Eleanor Bartowski is trying to ignore this feeling. She feels paranoid. Why would someone be stalking her?

She couldn't talk to her brother. She loved him but there was nothing that he could really do to help her. Besides he had his own issues he needed to deal with. She was doing her best to not interfere but she can't help feel like she needs to say something to him. He and Sarah have finally seemed to have gotten things worked out. They seem different this go around, more serious. Ellie is almost giddy watching them sometimes. She has to remind herself not to overdue her enthusiasm. Sometimes she can't help it. They are so in love. She doesn't know what happened but it is like some wall was dropped between them. She had wondered what was wrong previously but now she has seen them really committed. It does make her wonder what happened before. Why is this time different? There is a level of intimacy between them that never existed before. Ellie has learned it's better to knock before entering the apartment or their bedroom. She is amazed how often she seems to catch them in act, right before or after the act. She is beginning to wonder if Sarah is ever clothed in the apartment. Also she wants to know Sarah's secret because there is like no tan lines what so ever. Okay that's getting a little off track but Ellie does want to talk to Chuck about their relationship. If they are getting serious, then Chuck needs to get serious about a career. The Buy More job has gone on way too long. If Chuck and Sarah are going to start a life together then Chuck needs a real job that can support him and with any luck a big family.

Then again there is also Sarah. The girl works at a yogurt shop yet she drives a fancier car than Ellie does. Ellie's salary as a doctor really wouldn't cover a car like that. She wants to ask Sarah about this but Sarah seems to be so guarded. Ellie usually tried to ignore this because of how happy she makes Chuck. However, after Sarah's little breakdown, Ellie has been looking at everything again. Ellie wishes she wasn't having these nagging thoughts but she wants things to be perfect for Chuck. What could be so bad that Sarah believes that Chuck and Ellie would hate her if they found out? What secrets does Sarah have? Is that what caused these previous break ups? Are these issues now settled or could they still come back? Damn it, Ellie doesn't want to have these thoughts. She wants to ignore these doubts and she will. Chuck is happy that's all that matters and that's why Ellie would not tell him about this feeling that she is being stalked.

Morgan, no.

She even thinks of asking John Casey but that's not an option. It's a shame. When she first met John, he seemed like he would be a good influence on Chuck. Sure, he was a bit old to be working at a Buy More but he seemed more mature and different. Hell, he dressed in a fancy suit when she invited him to Thanksgiving that first year he was in town. He had come into town the same time that Sarah came into Chuck's life as well. Damn it. Stop thinking these thoughts! No, John couldn't be someone she could talk to. He had his own issues. His own very disturbing issues. She was doing her best to help and get through to him. He had taken the intervention really well. He even accepted all the pamphlets that she was giving him. She hadn't seen him going out late at night or coming in late so that's a good sign. Hopefully, he was getting the help he needed, but even that seemed weird. Sure everyone was telling her all these things about John but they just didn't add up in her mind. John came off as a bit scary sometimes with other people yet was always a proper gentleman around her. He seemed sad in a way but stoic. He didn't seem like the kind of guy who drank to such excess. John as some kind of sleazy sex fiend didn't seem possible. Hell, she had never seen him look improperly at a woman. He always looked her in the eyes which she found most men didn't do especially in some of her tops. However, John never did. He didn't look at Sarah the way that other guys did. Even Devon would give Sarah a once over when he thought Ellie wasn't looking. Where does that leave her? Is everyone around her lying or did she really misjudge John that much?

That leaves Devon. She wishes she could talk to him but she can't. Something has been off with their marriage for a while now. She doesn't know when it happened but there is a rift between them. There are times when the rift doesn't seem that large while other times it is like the ocean. Yet it is always there. She feels it more and more. Devon is hiding something. He has been for a long time. She has tried to ignore it but she can't. She sees it in his eyes all the time. She doesn't understand what he could be hiding. If it was any of her previous lovers, she would have believed that he was cheating on her but she can never see Devon cheating. His every action proves his devotion to her. He takes care of her in ways no one has ever done before. She has had other relationships where jewelry, fancy dinners and spa trips were their ideas of romance. They would do these grand gestures to score points with her but that was it. Devon is different. He doesn't just do these big gestures. He does a hundred little things every day to show how much he loves her. No, she would never doubt his love for her. It leaves her confused. It also makes her weary of going to him with her problem.

No, she is going to keep this to herself. She is decides that she needs to focus on her job right now. She is thrilled that she was able to go back to work. However, she will have to wait to see if she can get her fellowship back. Right now, the hospital is having her do odd shifts/mop up work. Now she is working the ER. She really can't stop this feeling. Even in the ER, she has been feeling like someone has been watching her. She has to ignore this. She picks up a chart and goes to see the next patient. She is looking at the chart when she draws back the curtain.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Bartowski-Woodcomb. How can I help you, Mr.? … Justin! What are you doing here?"

"Hi Ellie." Justin holds up his hand which has blood dripping down. He gives her a friendly smile. "I cut my hand. How are you doing?"

Chuck limps into the Buy More and automatically looks around for Casey. Oh, hell. He is standing at the Nerd Herd desk with Sarah. Chuck was supposed to have met her earlier. She had wanted to go out on a date instead of just staying in the apartment. He can see that she is wearing a simple black dress that fits her just perfectly. While the dress is simple, she looks unbelievable. It shows off her curves in the best ways. He wishes he would be able to have a date with her tonight. That's going to have to wait. Once he tells them what happened, Sarah is probably going to be mad. Of course, after the kick to the groin earlier, he doubts he would have been able to go on a date anyway. Right now though she has seen him and he sees the look of concern just increases tenfold. Casey also looks worried. He finally makes it over to the station. Sarah grabs him and begins to run her hands over his face. She gently runs her hand over the black eye that he has.

"Chuck, what happened? Were you attacked? Why didn't you call us? Do you…."

"Sarah, please calm down. I came here because I need to talk to Casey." Sarah looks hurt by this. Chuck wishes he could have said this better. He will have to deal with this later. Talking to Casey is what's important. "Casey, there is someone following me the last few days. I confronted them today and you won't believe who it was."

"Alex?" Chuck is surprised by the correct guess. However, he now realizes that Casey isn't looking at him. He is looking behind him. Chuck turns around to see Alex walking towards the three agents. She is finally in front of them. She looks around to make sure no one else is listening.

"Who are you people? What did you want with my mother?"

Chuck hears Casey mumble under his breath.

"Oh Chuck me."
