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.
Chuck vs. Time Off
"Chuck this is so nice." Sarah was going to continue when her phone rang. "Casey, what do you need? I thought we were on a break." Her face was looking more and more upset. "Well do you want to meet us there? Or you want us to come back and go together? Okay, we'll meet you up there. Yeah, the sheriff's office."
Chuck looked at her as she took the call. He knew this was not going to be a good thing. They were promised time off before and more times than he could remember this last few months something always came up. When she ended the call, "Okay, what do we have to do?"
"We are being ordered to a place called Eureka. There is a Sheriff up there we are to meet. We are to help him with a bomb threat that came from our old friends." Her face was falling into a sad look as she explained.
Chuck immediately tried to make it a positive. "Hey, I know this isn't what we wanted but let's try to have some fun. You remember the Twelve Days of Christmas? Well, certainly you got the partridge in a pear tree, right? Okay, anyhow we'll do this as a game. The first one to see the part of the song wins. The other person has to get that thing from the song for the one that identified it. Or if it is not something we can actually get, then we have to do something the other wants."
"You sure you want to do this? I do not lose, you know that?" Sarah's face brightens a bit.
"Okay, we'll make this our first Christmas vacation. You'll see. You'll like this too." Chuck left the tip and walked to the register with Sarah. On way he picked up a few Christmas CDs. He had the new albums from Mannheim Steamroller and Straight No Chaser, and then an album of classic Christmas songs.
They brought Sarah's new Porsche Cayman for the trip. Sarah was driving. Chuck had learned all the controls on this one. He had the mission display up. It had a secure link to Castle, their underground operations center. The mission report showed a bomb threat with a Fulcrum origin at Eureka. Mission: Find and disable the bomb. Identify and capture the Fulcrum agent. Sheriff Jack Carter and Deputy Jo Lupo would provide assistance. Doctor Allison Blake ran GD, but she was currently on maternity leave. Doctor Tess Fontana was the interim Director. Most research projects were classified. Doctor Fontana would provide relevant details.
Eureka was a small town with a few unique features. It was created from an idea by Einstein (not the bagel people). The idea was to bring the brightest minds from the world to one place to create and conduct leading edge research. The research was done under a Global Dynamics Advanced Research Facility. Some people did research at their home, normally that was a little dangerous.
"Well, this sounds a little different. I wonder why they would call us in if the Sheriff knows what is happening." Chuck looked at Sarah.
"Chuck?" Sarah pointed at her head.
"Yes of course. But they haven't had us chasing all around the country to catch Fulcrum before?" Chuck shook his head.
"Well, I guess we'll have to think of this as our Christmas vacation then." Sarah had a smirk to her smile.
"Yes, but first we must deal with the volcano." Chuck pulled out his iPhone.
"What?"
"Ellie."
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.
