(Chuck, Casey, and Sarah have all gathered at Casey's apartment for a Wednesday morning briefing with the General and the Director.)

"Why are the General and Director always late? I mean, I'm already really late for work, Big Mike is going to kill me," Chuck said, taking a bite out of his bagel, sipping his coffee and waiting for the blank screen in front of him to turn on. "I think that they might have some more important things to think about then you being late for work. And put that bagel down, it's disrespectful," Casey replied as a button on the screen started flashing. Casey moved up, pushed it and grabbed a notepad to take notes on the contents of their briefing.

"Hello Agent Casey, Agent Walker, Mr. Bartowski, is all going well?" the General greeted, with the usual monotone in her voice, the Director silent behind her. "Good morning to you as well General, everything's going great. Hey, is there any chance to speed this up, kinda late for work," Chuck said quickly, pointing to his watch and then immediately feeling a swift punch to his arm coming from Casey's direction. "This briefing will be just as long as the other ones Mr. Bartowski but we do have some good news for the three of you," the Director answered.

Casey, Chuck (who was still trying to rub the pain out of his arm), and Sarah all straightened up a little bit in anticipation of any good news that they would be getting. "It starts with the fact that there will be no new missions for the rest of the week," the General said, bringing a smile to everyone's face. "Agent Walker and Agent Casey, you will also be receiving a week of vacation that starts on Friday," the Director took over. "Wait, how are we supposed to get a vacation from protecting The Intersect here, he doesn't exactly take a vacation from getting himself into trouble," Casey replied, putting a smug smile on his face.

"You are right, Agent Casey, that's why you will be taking Mr. Bartowski with you," the General said, wiping the smile off of Casey's face. "Do we at least get to have a say in where we're going and what we're doing?" Casey asked, disappointed that he has to spend his week of vacation with Chuck in some place that he'd probably never been before.

"No Agent Casey, we've already decided where you'll be traveling. You will be spending your vacation in Northern Minnesota. The cold air will give you all a good change of pace and will provide you a week of relaxation and recuperation away from all of the troubles at home. We've arranged for you to stay in a log cabin that will be fully stocked when you get there. It will also have a weapons cache and will be equipped with a secure line to contact me from, just in case anything happens. We've also arranged different activities like fishing and snowmobiling to help you relax," the General replied, which caused that smile to once again return to Casey's face and a look of contentment to Sarah and Chuck's faces.

Casey loved any type of cold air, which he picked up from his time in Russia, and was starting to think that this whole vacation idea might not be as bad as it sounded. Chuck and Sarah were also happy because it was a place that they'd never been before and figured that the Director might be right right in it being a change of pace and a way to relax. "From the looks of the smiles on your faces, you all are ok with the location of your vacation, please pack up and I will have your tickets ready for you at the airport by 7:00 PM on Friday. I've already arranged for you to keep your weapons with you on the plane, that way you won't have to worry about it when you get there," the General said as she looked at a sheet of paper in front of her, making sure she was getting all of the details right.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but what am I going to say to Ellie and Aweso...I mean Devon?" Chuck asked, remembering to ask the General a little more respectfully so he wouldn't get another punch from Casey and also remembering that the General and Director didn't exactly like him calling Devon "Captain Awesome". "Agent Walker, I advise that you and Mr. Bartowski tell Chuck's friends and family that this is a boyfriend-girlfriend trip and I advise you, Agent Casey, to drive separately and stay unseen by any of Chuck's family and friends at the airport. Well, that's about it, you know how to contact me if you get into trouble, good luck and I'll see you all at our next briefing and don't forget to pack warm clothes. Over and out." the General concluded and the screen immediately went blank.

"Oh, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, I really gotta get to work. Sarah, can you meet me at my house tonight to tell Ellie and Awesome what's going on?" Chuck said and asked as he ran out of Casey's apartment. "Well, this should be fun," Casey smiled smugly as he ran after his carpool buddy. Sarah also couldn't help but smile as she yelled a "Sure," back to Chuck and walked out of Casey's apartment to go home and get ready for a shift at the Weinerlicious.
