What Went Wrong
Chapter 1
"911 emergency" came the voice of the thirty something year old operator on the other end of the line.
"I need an ambulance" came the panicked voice of the young bystander, above the noise of a nearby freeway " There's been a really bad crash".
…………
Sirens blaring away in the distance were heard as consciousness slowly started to fade away. He could feel the trickle of blood running down the side of his face and a searing pain in his chest were he knew multiple ribs must be broken. As screams from a woman reached his ears blackness finally takes over him bringing the relief from pain that he so badly needed.
The ambulance came to a screeching halt as a fire crew quenched the flames that had erupted from the van, paramedics jumping out and rushing to the nearest victims of the devastating crash. Four of the six men were already pronounced dead when the paramedics finally reached the fifth and sixth men. One a giant of a man still conscious but in a very bad state the other a tall, young man with curly brown hair, clearly unconscious from the crash, non-surprisingly due to the state he was in. It would be a close call for this one he was on the verge of death.
Loading the only two survivors of the crash onto stretchers they moved them inside of separate ambulances and took off with pace to the nearest hospital.

5 hours earlier
It was supposed to be a simple mission get in secure the warehouse and wait for a clean-up crew, but as always with team Bartowski the crap hit the fan, big time.
Somehow the Ring had got the drop on them, with a trap waiting at the warehouse for Casey, Sarah and Chuck. Casey and Sarah were to go in clear the warehouse of any late night patrolling guards and have a clean-up crew take over with Chuck staying in the van to monitor the action through cameras attached to Sarah and Casey.
Chuck on the rare occasion actually stayed in the van but this time was the wrong choice to stay there. The Ring had waited until Sarah and Casey were inside the warehouse before blocking all communications between the agents and Chuck. Quietly surrounding the van they had the upper hand in securing Chuck while Sarah and Casey took out the guards.
Slowly they reached the outside of the van readying to open the doors and take Chuck to god-knows where. The doors of the van flew open from the inside with Chuck jumping out unaware to the ten members of the Ring surrounding him. "Umm…hi guys can I help you." came the nervous voice of Chuck staring down the barrel of a H&K UMP.
After clearing out the warehouse of guards Sarah radioed Chuck only to get static. Getting worried that something may have happened she tried radioing Casey. "Casey can you hear me? I can't get through to Chuck.".
"Yeah I hear you Walker, I can't get through to him either, think we should head back after we call the clean-up crew". Came the gruff voice of the NSA agent. "Well hurry up I have a bad feeling about all of this". Sarah replied with a hint of nervousness in her voice. Casey learning always to trust Sarah's instincts called the clean-up crew to the warehouse on the docks while meeting up with Sarah outside of the warehouse.
"Clean-ups on the way lets go get Bartowski and see if he saw anything suspicious in there" came Casey's voice from behind Sarah. Finally making it to the surveillance van Sarah opened the door to find it empty. Starting to panic Sarah spun around to Casey. "Chuck's not here, you don't think he's gone inside do you?" She asked while looking around to see if she could spot Chuck's attempt at sneaking into the warehouse. "I don't know I'll bring up his GPS tracker". Looking down at the phone he saw the flashing dot of Chucks tracker right on top of where he and Sarah were standing. "Err Walker we may have a problem." Casey said while picking up Chuck's watch from underneath the van.
