Hacked

Chapter 1

You're not that Special

Chuck Bartowski. He works at the Buy More, part of the Nerd Herd. He is the Intersect, and he has two handlers, John Casey and Sarah Walker. One from NSA and the other from the CIA. Despite having 'reabsorbed' the Intersect—and learning some Kung Fu (accidentally, of course), General Beckman still believes he should be protected by the two agents.

"Can't Chuck be trained now and become a real agent? One that doesn't need any protection?" John Casey asked General Beckman while he was having a teleconference, together with Chuck and Sarah at his apartment.

Chuck simply looked at him, knowing that John only wanted to get a new assignment. General Beckman looked straight into the screen and pursed her lips to the side. Her red hair was still in a bob, and her face was as stern as ever.

"We've been doing this for a long time, and I think it's not yet time for Mr. Bartowski to become a real agent. It is better that he continues under the radar. We could keep him safe even better, and getting the warning from Fulcrum, they have no plans on stopping their pursuit of The Intersect. But, I do permit Agent Walker and you, Col. Casey, to start preparing Mr. Bartowski for the future. You can give him training."

"Thank you, Agent Beckman." Casey simply replied.

"W-w-wait!" Chuck said, while on the screen General Beckman was about to turn off her screen.

"What is it, Mr. Bartowski?" And General Beckman, was looking at him, scrutinizing and impatient. On the other hand, Casey was clenching his jaw and was almost inaudibly growling, like he usually does when he gets annoyed with Bartowski.

"So, right now, there is no more operation or attempt to remove the intersect in my head," Chuck said, "And I can be an agent, after Fulcrum is destroyed, what happens then?"

"Mr. Bartowski, if you do become an agent, if ever you become an agent, you'll get assigned to other assignments, or an analyst and develop a new intersect computer, perhaps with your father, Orion."

"O-kay!" Chuck said, having realized how obvious the answer was to his question.

"Is there no other business left to be addressed?" General Beckman said.

"None, General," Sarah replied.

"So, I'll contacting the three of you when something comes up. Agent Walker, Agent Casey, and Agent Bartowski, I'll leave Project Intersect to you." And the screen went black.

"I'm an agent?!!" Chuck exclaimed in a way that was a cross between inquiry and excitement.

"Don't get too excited Bartowski, as of now, you're still only the intersect." Casey said through gritted teeth.

"What do you mean?! General Beckman just called me Agent!" Chuck pushed on, facing Casey and not even trying to hide his excitement.

Casey just rumbled at him and walked off. Perhaps somewhere he could clean his guns or spy on someone else.

"Come on, Chuck, let's go," Sarah told Chuck so that Chuck would let go of the fact that Casey doesn't accept that maybe Chuck already was an agent. And had Kung Fu knowledge better than the two of them combined—only, he doesn't know how to control it yet.

"Okay," Chuck sighed and walked out, with Sarah in front of him. There was still that little uncomfortable atmosphere between them, since they went 'rogue' and because of the incident in the motel. They haven't really talked about it yet, but both already had their hearts in place. At least individually, they did.

Outside, Sarah sat by the fountain and motioned with her hand for Chuck to sit beside her. Sarah had her hair down, and had a headband on, and she was wearing jeans and a blue top. Chuck sat by her side and simply looked at her. He was still wearing a tie and a polo shirt, black jeans and his chucks.

"So, you can receive training, now, Chuck." Sarah said, so that they could start on a conversation.

"That's a good thing, right?" he kidded. "I mean, I'll no longer accidentally shoot a witness who can help us." He continued, referring to the time when he shot a witness on the knees.

"Listen, Chuck," Sarah started, but Chuck interrupted her.

"No, Sarah." He said. "If this is about happened at the motel, we shouldn't explain ourselves right? I mean, I'm not denying the fact that I…" he stopped, as if trying to gather his confidence, "I am in love with you, Sarah. And Bryce…I mean, before he died, you were on your way to an assignment with him…I would understand if…" and this time it was Sarah who stopped Chuck.

"I think what he was trying to tell you, Chuck," she said in the way she always did to comfort him. "I wasn't going with him. He knew that."

Chuck just stared at her. He didn't know what to say and he also didn't want to assume that Sarah chose not to go with Bryce because of him. But deep in his gut, he knew, that it was the reason she stayed. He was wide eyed at her, not knowing what to say.

"Chuck?" Sarah said, trying to see if Chuck was still with her and aware.

"Yes! Yes!" He was finally able to say. He was so happy and excited, but still he was confused. "Wait, I just want to clarify, why weren't you coming with him?"

"Because, Chuck, this is where I want to be." And she extended her hand and gripped his hands. She stroked the back of his hand with her thumbs, and with that, Chuck was assured that he was right, Sarah was staying because of him.

"This is amazing," he said. He stopped, not knowing what to do next. He stared straight into her eyes, leaned closer they kissed.

After a few seconds, Sarah then said, "So, Agent Bartowski," with emphasis on the 'agent'. "or should I say Agent Carmicheal?" she giggled a bit. "I guess Casey and I will be training you. With martial arts and ballistics as well, perhaps." She was still smiling. At least this time, they have admitted each other's feelings.

"Still can't believe it though." Chuck said. "I mean, I learned Kung Fu just because I was able to absorb all that there was in the new Intersect computer. Well, that's destroyed now, so I guess it's the old intersect for the new one is here," pointing to his head.

"And that is one of the most fragile of all, and most important, I must." Sarah replied and kissed Chuck on the forehead. She stood to leave.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Just have to finish out more reports from what happened with Bryce and about Intersect. Also, I have to request for shipment of some new equipment, since Team Chuck would actually have an 'Agent' Chuck." And she walked off.

To Chuck, nothing could compare to this moment. He was about to be 'that guy' who would be most matched to Sarah, and now, he knew that Sarah felt the same way for him. Nothing could go wrong.

However, the next day, at the Buy More—Chuck's cover/real job, something was about to unfold.

"So, Chuck!" Lester said, as soon as Chuck came in the entrance door.

"Yes, Lester?" Chuck was smiling, the memory of what happened yesterday still fresh on his mind, and he still couldn't help but be happy.

"Since you're sister and awesome are out of town, don't you want to throw a house party?" Lester said, his index fingers poking Chuck childishly.

"I don't think that's a good idea…" Chuck said, still smiling.

"Come on, since you're buddy—Morgan's leaving next week, why not throw this party for him?" Lester pushed on.

"Right…right! Morgan is leaving next week, almost forgot. I guess I can throw a small get together." Chuck said. "And I'm thinking tonight! Since, if I postpone this, you" he said pointing to Lester then to Jeff, "and you, might think of something that wouldn't be too good for a SMALL get together."

"That's great!" Lester said, then winked at Jeff, "Chicks and booze, we've got to make sure this happens. I'll get the kegs, you, think of something to do."

In the staff room, Chuck placed a call with his mobile.

"Hey, Morgan, guess what! I'm throwing you a party tonight."

"That's great buddy! Anna will be with me, and maybe mom and Big Mike too!"

"That's okay, just be there by seven, alright?"

"I'll see you, buddy."

"yeah." And Chuck ended the call. He was thinking whether or not he should call the newly weds, but decided to.

"Hey, Ellie!"

"Chuck, why are you calling?"

"I was just going to ask how you two were doing, though leave out all the details, please."

"Everything's fine. Cancun is beautiful. I'm thinking you have something else to say? Me and Devon are on our way out."

"Oh, I'm just informing you, that since Morgan will be leaving next week, I'm throwing him a small get together at your apartment—since I live there too. I'm hoping that's okay?"

"Sure, that's completely fine. Just clean up after everything. I've got to go now, Love you Chuck!"

"Love you too, Sis. Have fun there."

Now, all he needed was some pizza—which he knew he could order later, so he procrastinated and went back to his post at the customer service counter of the Buy More.

At noon, Sarah came by and brought him some deli sandwiches.

"Don't tell me you made these?" he asked, thrilled that Sarah was being extra thoughtful—not that she wasn't thoughtful before.

"I'll ask you how it tastes first, before I give you the answer," she replied.

"Oh, right! It's my lunch break and I can get to eat this now! Let's go to the back."

The two went to the back of the Buy More and sat by the ledges, wherein the stocks were being delivered and set down. Immediately, Chuck opened the brown bag that contained his deli sandwich and devoured.

"Wow…" Chuck said, in between bites. "This is a great sandwich! You didn't made this, I'm guessing?"

Sarah slightly punched him by the arms, in a joking manner, and said, "If I say it's mine, it is delicious right?"

"It's pretty good. You really can cook!" he was giggling.

"Thank you very much. I just remembered how much you love sandwiches. And actually, this one is made, based on the conversations you have with Morgan about sandwiches that Casey is so tired of." She chuckled.

"Wow! I'm guessing you know everything that I like, huh?" he said. Then started, "Oh! I remembered! I'm throwing a party/get-together at the apartment tonight. It's for Morgan. You're coming right? No assignments or anything with the agency that you have to do?"

"Sure, I'll be there. Since, I am your 'cover' girlfriend." She smiled sweetly at him.

"Correction," Chuck said. "Real girlfriend." And they held hands for the rest of the break time.

Meanwhile, Casey was at his unit, still watching the monitor and assured with the red blinking light that Chuck was still at the Buy More. He also received the packaged that was requested by Sarah yesterday containing the a whole new set of equipments for a new agent—who wouldn't be recorded until everything with Fulcrum is settled.

"Col. Casey?" His monitor suddenly shifted from the GPS to General Beckman.

"Yes, General." Casey automatically was at attention.

"I've received some intel that the intersect was copied or hacked. This report is not yet confirmed, but I'm giving you this warning to make sure that our Intersect is secure."

"Yes, I'll make sure of that. But, will we still begin his training in combat?"

"Of course. The earlier the better."

"Okay, General. Agent Walker and I will not let him out of our sight."

"Good. When I hear more about this, I will contact you." And again, the sudden shift of the monitor happened, from General Beckman to GPS.

"At least Agent Walker is keeping an eye on him." Casey said to himself, as he spotted the two trackers on the same location.

Later that afternoon, when Chuck just finished ordering at least five pizzas of different flavors and combos and about to finish his shift, he spotted what looked like a lost customer. She looked like someone in her late teens to early twenties, a cross between an Asian and a Caucasian—but more of the Asian side. She was about 5'4", and was wearing a black skirt and a purple top. She had medium length hair and red highlights. He immediately went over and asked what he could do to help. Then, he was confronted with what looked like a person having a flash.

After the 'flash', the girl said, "You're Chuck Bartowski, Intersect. Son of Orion." She said in a monotonous tone, then fainted.

Chuck, caught her, then looked around to see if anyone saw, then carried the girl to their hideout across the street. Sarah was there, and was surprised to see Chuck carry an unconscious person inside.

"Open the door," Chuck said, pertaining to the door of their base. She immediately punched in the code and went over inside with Chuck and the unconscious person.

"Chuck! Who is this? Why are you bringing her inside?"

"I don't…I don't know." He said in a panicky voice. "B-b-but…she knows who I am. She knows I'm the intersect, she knows about my connection with Orion. Then she just fainted. She looked like she flashed."

Sarah stared in trepidation at Chuck, then said, "What do you mean, she flashed? You mean, like she has an intersect in her head too?" She shook her head, "This is just not possible. We have to tell the General."

"N-n-no!" Chuck opposed.

"What?!?"

"What if, she also acquired this accidentally, the way I did the first time?"

"But she is a threat, she knows you're the intersect."

"But she is also an Intersect. Wouldn't that put her in danger too?"

"And if she's fulcrum?" Sarah then said and started to draw her gun. Chuck then shrieked in a high pitched voice, in an effort to stop Sarah from shooting.

"Chuck, you know me. I won't shoot her. Just in case. We have to make sure. When she wakes up, you have to be far away. We're putting her in a holding cell. We'll wait after she wakes up before contacting the general."

But, before they could bring her to the cell, the girl woke up. She stared straight at Sarah, flashed, and didn't say a thing. She asked, in panic, "Why are you pointing a gun at me?" her accent was not American. If Sarah was to guess, she would place the girl somewhere in Southeast Asia.

"You just flashed. You know who I am, and I'm guessing you know as well why I have a gun aimed at you." Sarah then looked at Chuck, and Chuck stepped farther.

"You're CIA. Agent Walker. Assigned to Project Intersect." She just replied.

"Are you Fulcrum?"

"Wha~?" not being able to say the word, she flashed. After some few seconds, she violently shook her head. "No! No! No!"

"I think she's not lying, Sarah." Chuck said in the background.

"Yes! He's right, I am not lying." Sarah listened, and the girl continued. "I am not part of Fulcrum, what I've just seen, I don't want to be a part of that."

As a distraction, the door suddenly opened, and Casey came in. "What's going on here?" and as soon as the girl saw his face, she suddenly knew all about him.

"Who is this?" Casey said.

"I…I am Evangeline…Evangeline Marrone. I…"

"I'm not talking to you. Chuck, who did you bring here?" Casey said, now talking to Chuck.

"I don't know. I think she's also an intersect."

"Hmph," Casey snickered, "I guess you're not that special after all, Bartowski." As soon as he got closer to Evangeline, he shot her a tranquilizer, and she immediately fell asleep.

Okay! Tell me your thoughts on this one.

Please review. I'm sorry if I'm a little weak at the technical stuff. But let me know your thoughts.
