CHAPTER II

"I WILL BUILD AN ARMY TO TAKE BACK WHAT IS MINE"…by C. June

Sarah looked at Casey as Casey was so devastingly torn at what he had just saw and now try to explain, what could he tell her?

Casey where's Chuck?"

Sarah ran to their car and saw all of Chuck's personal belongings lying on the pavement. Sarah collapsed as she couldn't deal with this again. The last time he was taken it tore her apart, more than she would ever admit to anyone. Devon and Casey helped her up as all the blood had left her head making her faint. Casey made her sit down on the floor of the car as he called it in. "General Beckman, Chuck's been taken."

Within the time it took to get Sarah back inside Beckman had sent a full recovery team. Casey went back out to meet with whomever was in charge. He didn't want to make a big spectacle so only those that were needed stayed. Devon and Ellie checked Sarah out thinking she had hit her head. When Sarah opened her eyes she charged towards the door but as she pulled on the door she heard Charlie cry. Closing her eyes she stopped for a half second to remember that there was someone else that was as important still here. Walking back she picked up Charlie then told Mary to take her back home. Mary wanted to stay, it was her son that was missing but she understood. Morgan closed up the resturant and Devon took the ladies home. Sarah headed out knowing that Charlie was safe.

Casey came back in as Sarah was getting ready to come back out. He shook his head and Sarah knew it wasn't good. He had in his hand Chuck's items. He passed them onto Sarah as Sarah sunk into the nearest chair. Her face was now showing concern, and only a few had ever seen this look. As agents kept moving around the resturant and the parking lot, onlookers if there was any had no idea of what was going on.

The first hour let to the second as Casey pulled up a chair beside Sarah. He noticed that Sarah had laid all his items on her lap and some were stained with her tears. Passing a kleenex to her she grabbed it. "Sarah we better get you home, its late and there's nothing we can do here."

It took some convincing but Sarah got up. As she carefully placed his items inside her purse. Casey pulled up to their house as agents were parked near by. Casey had sent agents to watch over the Woodcombs house as well, if they got Chuck they might come for them as well. Casey walked Sarah to the door as an agent arrived to greet them. "All clear Colonel."

Casey nodded then opened the door. Sarah walked into the house as a wife and mother who's husband was just taken. Her demeanor portrayed that. She was a wife who's whole world was just snatched from under her. Sarah walked passed Mary sitting in the livingroom as Sarah headed down the hall. Opening the door Charlie must have heard her mom as she laid there looking up at her. Sarah grabbed Charlie and sat down unbeknownst to her as she latched onto Sarah's breast that he was missing. That contact couldn't stop her from crying as Charlie tried to grab her face, tears rolled down her face. Sarah reached to wipe her face when a familiar hand reached in and wiped it for her. Sarah looked up not realizing how much time had gone by, there in front of her crouched down was her mom. "We will find him."

Sarah tried to nod but couldn't. In a shaky voice "Who called you?"

"Morgan called."

"Molly?"

"Casey carried her into the spare room."

The two looked down at Charlie and shared a mother bond then Emma stood up and took Charlie back to her crib. Sarah followed with her blanket and covered her up then falling into her mom's arms. No one in that house who knew Sarah would think that she was this person. Chuck was responsible for this side of her. It was Chuck who made her grounded. It was him who made her live rather than run away. Emma took Sarah's hand and they made their way to the living room. Mary had made a pot of coffee as Casey had started to pour four cups. Sarah sat down instantly hearing walkie talkies go on with updates from the agents outside and at Ellie's and Devons. Sarah looked at her purse as Emma noticed. "You want your purse?"

Sarah reached out her hand as Emma got up and grabbed her purse. "Thanks."

Sarah reached in and pulled out as carefully as she placed them inside earlier Chuck's items. She laid them on her lap once again and one by one examined them and for each item it brought back so many memories. Her mind wandered off to the day they got married. It was perfect, it was a fairytale, with family and friends…. A noise took her out of her thought as Casey came back inside. Sarah looked at the clock. It read 2:30 – four hours since Chuck was taken. Sarah got up but Casey came to her. "Any news?"

"Maybe, I got a shot of the vehicle from the Buy More camera and then from Morgan's security camera. It was a black SUV or van. I got a partial plate. We are running it now. But what gets me is why they took his ring off and left all of this." As Casey looked at the items lying on the couch beside her. Sarah looked up. "It's personal. They are sending a message." Casey looked at Sarah, knowing that it could be a number of individuals that they had come in contact through out the years or it could be a new threat.

The nexy day

Sarah had finally dozed off late afternoon with Charlie beside her on their bed. His side of the bed still smelled like him which helped her close her eyes. This was her first night without her Chuck and realizing that he was gone and after their initial search with Casey he had to tell her that he was gone and for now stop fighting with her self. She had to focus on Charlie. Charlie had been fussy all day, sensing that things weren't the same. Her routine wasn't the same. Sarah tried everything but it wasn't until she grabbed Chucks Buy More sweat shirt that his scent would calm their daughter down just a mom's scent can calm a child down. His sweat shirt was now her current blanket. Sarah stared at their daughter and remembered when she found out that she was pregnant. She was worried that she's never have a family and whether her many altercations had harm her body from conceiving. Her doctor reassured her that she was fine, but Sarah's self doubt had crept in again. They wanted a family but since Quinn she feared that would never happen. The day she found out she remembered running around with Ellie and watching Claire walk around or more like stumble as they shopped for new clothes for her. Picking out clothes, a part of herself made her stop and based on how she had been feeling it wouldn't hurt to find out. She had felt like this once before, but the test came up negative. Sarah took her cart and headed to the pharmacy on her way out and grab not one but four boxes just to be sure. She had been late and with her busy schedule it could be a lot of things. But being pregnant was the only thing on her mind. Saying goodbye at the mall, Sarah drove home and slipped inside their new house, well it was a few months since they bought it luckily with the money from Volkoff. Chuck was able to access Decker's files to transfer the files back to them and even making it look like they were still there. She tore open the first box and read the instructions and waited. Then she tried again and again. The fourth box sat there on the edge of the sink till later that day when she tried again. All came up with the sign that she was indeed pregnant. Her heart skipped as she could hardly contain herself. As she looked at the clock, she hurried to order Spyro because cooking wasn't her thing. She figured that she'd surprise Chuck by putting the tests inside the pizza box. So, when the pizza arrived, she grabbed some wax paper and covered the pizza and laid the four tests on top of it. Then she grabbed some wine for Chuck and some sparkling juice for her. She lit some candles and sat on the floor. Sarah looked around and wished that their furniture had arrived. It took a lot to get Chuck on board to grow up on his home attire, but the back room was designated for him and Morgan to pay all the games they wanted. She made sure that the room was sound proof.

She heard Chuck turn the lock and enter. The room had a giant glow of candles. Chuck smiled which Sarah smiled back then padded the floor beside her. Chuck took off his jacket and sat down beside her giving her a kiss maybe two. Chuck sat with his legs stretched out as Sarah sat with her knees bent to the side. She moved closer to kiss him again cause one or two is not enough. "Well Mrs. B what do I owe this wonderful attention."

"Just that I love you?"

Chuck a bit curious. "What did you break, burn or lose."

Sarah playfully hit him then smiled. "I love you. Can't I have a romantic evening with my husband?"

"Why where is he?"

Chuck looked at her then grabbed her hand. Rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb. "I love you too. But what did you break, burn..."

Sarah reached for the bottle and poured Chuck his then she poured herself one from the other bottle. "You're not drinking any wine?"

Sarah shook her head. Sarah raised her glass. "To new beginnings."

Chuck raised his and clink went the glasses.

Chuck put his glass down as he grabbed Sarah's. This time when he looked at her, she was way too serious. Noticing her change in looks he looked at her. "What's wrong?"

"Nothings wrong it's just."

Chuck looked at the box and lifted the pizza box onto his lap. Before Sarah could get her little speech out. Chuck opened the lid and stared at what was inside. Sarah waited as this wasn't the way she wanted to tell him. Chuck still didn't look over the lid. Sarah pulled the pizza box lid down and his look was priceless but also warranted worry. "Chuck talk to me? It's not the way I wanted to tell you but the plan of you opening the box was what I wanted. And I didn't think that I could ever get pregnant and so I took four tests as you can see. Just to make sure." Sarah continued to talk when Chuck snapped out of his deep thought and placed the box down beside him. He got up and Sarah thought the worse. Chuck turned and held out his hand. He helped Sarah up. Then his next move warmed her heart. Chuck bent down and ran his hand over her belly then kissed the same spots as his hand hand gone over. Then his lips reached Sarah's. Chuck swooped her up and held her close. Sarah settled in his neck as tears ran down her cheek. Chuck pulled back and looked at Sarah.

"This is legit?"

Sarah nodded.

"We are going to have a baby. Well you are. I'm mean we are."

Sarah smiled then kissed Chuck hard. It wasn't planned but their kissed heated up as Sarah grabbed his shirt and pulled from the hem and tossed it over his head. Chuck slipped his hand up her dress pulling fabric with him as he reached her buttons on her sun dress. Removing the buttons from their place he pulled the dress down over her shoulders as she shimmied out of them. Chuck picked her up and took her to their bed. "I guess we don't need to worry about getting pregnant?"

"I guess not."

Chuck laid Sarah down and finished getting her out her clothes as well as his. Chuck's only attention was to Sarah. Sarah laid naked on her back as Chuck laid his lips on her chest then ran circles right over her stomach as the bed sheet laid loosely under her hips. "So how along are you?"

Sarah playing with his curls replied. "Don't know. Will have to make an appointment. You want to come?"

Chuck looked up then hoisted himself onto his elbow. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Sarah pulled Chuck towards her lips and kissed him hard. Chuck leaned over her as Sarah wrapped her legs around his hips as they became one. She loved their spontaneous love making, the freedom to do it whenever and basically wherever they wanted. Their movements were carefully choregraphed to get all they could from their time together, their kisses were subtle and playful.

Chuck rolled over and grabbed his boxers and slipped them on and ran into the living room grabbing the pizza box and some bottled water. Heading back Sarah had slipped on one of Chucks t shirts and leaned again the head board. Chuck sat down and placed the box on her lap. Kinda warm still. Chuck pulled a piece out as Sarah grabbed it then grabbing one for him, they tapped the ends and took a bite. Every bite Chuck took he kept the same smile on his face. "You know wife of mine. This kinda changes how I will see pizza."

"So, you don't mind how you found out?"

"No, not at all even if you told me by one of those I am pregnant reveals it wouldn't even come close to this."

Chuck kissed Sarah. "Thank you "

"For what?"

For the baby you are carrying."

"It's not all me. You did have a part in it. A big part."

Sarah winked at him. "You're too kind. "

Chuck leaned back as Sarah snuggled near him. Tossing the box into the floor Sarah grabbed the tv remote.

That was a year and half ago. Their miracle baby slept as Sarah continued to reminisce.

Chuck had been out with Casey making changes to Castle. Casey felt that after Quinn they needed an upgrade. So, Casey took it upon himself to make that happen. Chuck was there for the computer stuff. Morgan ran back and forth between Castle and his new restaurant. Chuck liked that Buy More was finally making money and the Nerd Herd gang finally took an interest in their jobs. Chuck was sitting in the rafters laying new wifi modems and a new security system when he heard his phone ring. The ring tone was a specific one that told him that is was Sarah. Chuck couldn't reach his phone so he tried using Siri but that didn't work. Slipping through the rafters he slipped and hung upside down with the rafters beneath his knees. Reaching for the phone he slid to answer it. "Hey babe?"

"It's time."

"What?"

"It's time, my water broke."

Chuck did a flip and landed on his feet. "Now!"

"Yes."

Chuck grabbed his jacket and ran two steps at a time upstairs yelling downstairs. "Casey baby now!"

Casey dropped what he was doing and drove Chuck home. Casey followed them to the hospital.

The next morning Charlie Samantha was born. 8 lbs 3 oz blonde with a some curls.

Later…..

Devon took the next three days off and hung out down in Castle hoping to help lend a hand but he got in the way but Casey knew that he was just trying to help. So Casey gave him the job of trying to find the van, based on what they had found out.

Casey left Devon and drove up to Chuck and Sarah's and headed to the back door but saw that Sarah had finally fallen asleep. He said hello to Emma then slipped to the back. Casey typed in the password that Chuck had left hidden in case of an emergency. Casey hated using it now but they needed all the help they could get. Castle was okay but there were too many people now that Beckman made it a full active base. Casey leaned on the secret wall off the back stairs leading to the back yard opened up. Chuck had set up an impressive security system as well as setting up cameras around the neighbourhood. Just like Chuck's father he had created a hidden room where his spy life was and where it remained because he wanted to have alife with Sarah where she could be normal and not a spy. Casey sat down and turned on the main frame as the computers whizzed and chirped. He started his list, an hour later he heard foot steps , he looked sideways but didn't aim his gun at the person. Sarah walked towards him in barefeet and wearing Chuck's sweats and one of his t shirts. Her hair was in a messy bun and it looked like she just woke up. She sat down and pushed one of the two cups of coffee his way.

He noticed that someone had been spending a lot of time down here. Blankets and trays of empty plates and dishes.

"So do I ask?"

Sarah slumped down as sits beside him. "We need to find him."

"I know, but the leads didn't give up much and the van that Devon found was left in an abandoned warehouse."

"It's my fault."

"Why?"

"If I didn't become his handler and turn him into the spy, that he is he wouldn't be."

"Sarah that was five years ago and now you married that man and you have Charlie which still blows my mind."

Sarah laughed briefly.

"Seriously. Because of what you did to make him the man he is today is what's going to be the thing to bring him home."

Sarah looked at her coffee cup.

Casey looked at what Sarah had come up with and pulled out the list he made up as well. Casey looked at the list. "Good job Sarah. I guess we are on the same page with possible leads. Sheik Rajiv Amad?"

"Yeah I thought that maybe he might want him for something."

"Decker is dead, so we can cross that off." Casey skimmed the list. Then he looked up.

"You sure?"

"I hope not."

"We need to be right on this one, no mistakes."

"It's either him or the Belgium. Quinn is dead so its not him. Hartley is, nor was he a threat. Pegasus was killed, Chuck's dad is dead, Bryce is dead and can't tell us anymore that we already know and that goes for Graham as well. Everyone we need intel from is either dead or a threat."

Casey didn't like the tone that was creeping in Sarah's voice as she continued to talk. She couldn't blame her, but he knew what happened the last time.

"The Belgium? That's a bit far fetched."

"No! He didn't get what he wanted – we made sure of that."

"And…."

"Shaw!"

"He's locked up remember, you put him there."

Sarah wasn't convinced.

Casey didn't want to argue. "Well I guess we are going on a road trip."

Sarah settled a bit. She got up and turned. "Give me a half hour."

Casey nodded and watched as she grabbed the tray and headed upstairs. Casey went back to her list. Her list was exactly like his list which made his skin crawl. Casey waited for Sarah at the door, as Sarah said goodbye and kissed Charlie as Emma held her, grabbing her sunglasses. Sarah chose a plain black skirt and blouse, she wanted to look confident even when she was screaming on the inside. "We won't be long."

"No worries Sarah, we are good and with all the security the house is good too."

"Sorry for the extra security."

Sarah kissed her mom and Charlie again. This was something she learned to do which took time to develop a relationship with her mom. Thanks to Chuck for making that possible.

Sarah and Casey headed up North to Penitentiary. Coming over the hill brought back unpleasant memories. The last time she was up here was over two years ago when she secretly came to meet with Shaw which forced her mom out of hiding. This time to face him because her husband was taken. They walked up the long stairs and signed in leaving their belongings in a lock case. As Sarah placed her visitors' badge on she took a deep breath. The Warden walked in and shook hands. As they walked down to his office. "I'm sure you're mistaken. Daniel Shaw has been in solitary for some time now. He hasn't had any visitors that I know of?"

The Warden checked his computer. "My mistake." Casey and Sarah turned in their seats. "He had one visitor, one Father McGregor. I don't recognize his name, but we get that often with the clergy."

Casey looked at Sarah as he nodded. "Can we see him?"

The Warden looked up then hesitated. "I can make arrangements to have him meet you in the commons."

Sarah stood up. "No! I would like to see him where he's at."

The Warden taken a back stood up and picked up the phone. "This is the Warden, I will be coming with two agents down to C block to see inmate Daniel Shaw."

The Warden led Sarah and Casey down to C block through a series of stairs and long hallways. Stopping just shy of the doors entering C block. The guard walked closer to the door and opened the door. The loud grinding noise of metal and steel doors unlocking was nerve racking. Sarah prepared herself as the gate swung open and the cell came into view. The guard walked in first. Casey staying very close curled his fist as Sarah walked in after the guard gave them the okay. As Sarah turned the threshold of the cell, she saw him stand to his feet and turned around, Sarah looked up and yelled. "That's not him!"

The man looked at her, the appearance was uncanny, but his hair was lighter. Casey looked at him and repeated what he she said. "She's right."

The Warden was shocked and confused. The inmate was pulled upwards as Sarah grabbed the man. "Where is he? Where is Shaw!"

The inmate was shaken.

"Agent Walker." The Warden called out.

Casey touched Sarah's forearm. "Sarah."

Sarah let go and stepped back. The man fell back catching his breath. Casey then looked at him. "I can let her loose again."

The man looked scared. The Warden spoke to the inmate. "You better talk. Where is Daniel Shaw?"

Sarah glared at him as he stumbled at first to speak. "I was approached a couple of weeks ago when I first arrived by Shaw who happened to be outside on his one hour of fresh air. He wanted to know if I wanted to make some quick cash. All I had to do was spend a few days in this cell and he'd come back, and we'd switch. Two weeks ago, he was gone for a few hours in the evening then came back, then he said that he needed me one more time."

"When was that?"

"Almost a week or so ago."

Sarah and Casey knew that it was a bit coincidental that his time out of there lined up with Chuck's disappearance. "Did he say anything else?"

The man looked around the cell. "He mentioned that there could be a blonde and brute coming and wanting some answers." Sarah moved in. "AND!"

"He said that you'd figure it out."

Sarah loathed that man and for him to have the nerve to say that. The man was dragged out as Casey started to tear the cell apart. Casey flipped the mattress as Sarah turned and stopped in her tracks. Casey saw where she was looking, turned his head and tore out an envelope that was slipped into one of the rips in the fabric in the mattress. Casey passed the envelope to her as she sat down on the cot. Sarah slid her hand inside and pulled out what looked like photos. Taking a quick glance, she noticed that some of the pictures where of her and Chuck. Especially the time when Chuck had called her to tell her he found the house but that he couldn't buy it because of Decker. The next few photos were of her and Chuck and as recent as the day after she came back from the FARM and they went to the park. Sarah wondered how he could get in and out with no one seeing him? Sarah put the photos back in the envelope and headed out. She knew what Casey was thinking. Heading back to the Warden's office they got access to the security feeds. Sarah sat down as they looked at the feeds for the last month. Trying not to react her mind went to Chuck and where in the world was, he?

UNDISCLOSED LOCATION

Chuck felt his neck strain as he tried to lift it. His eyes were blurry as he tried to focus on his surroundings. As he tried to lift his head, he tried to moisten his mouth with what he had left at the same time. The room was very dark and very hot. Chuck had been in places like this before and he knew before you freak out figure out where you are and what can you do to get out. Chuck was limited in his movements so who ever put him knew what they were doing. Chuck assumed it was a dude due to the strength it took to take him down. He could be mistaken cause if he was a she and if she was anything like his wife, she could easily do this. As he continued to talk him out of whatever he was talking himself out of he stopped to think that who ever took him took him from behind, limiting his possibility to see who they were. This person had to know something about him. But the more Chuck thought about it and how his head and neck felt, he was given something and coming up from behind and covering his head, they didn't want to take the chance. Chuck looked around and took a quick inventory of who that person could be, and he too thought of the Belgium and Shaw. He wondered if he was still in LA and what this would be doing to his family.

Cold water woke Chuck up as his dry mouth saw a little reprieve. Chuck shook the excess water off his face and opened his eyes. There stood the man that he had loathed from day one and their first meeting and how he managed to woo Sarah. Just the thought of them together made him sick. But he had won, he had won the girl and they started a family. So, no matter what he did to him he could never take that away from him.

"Wakey wakey Mr. Bartowski, Agent Charles Carmicheal, wanna be spy or should I say whipping boy of Major John Casey and Agent Sarah. How is the wife and your beautiful offspring? Charlie right?" Shaw walked by Chuck chair and grounded his hands into his shoulders. Leaning into his cheek pressing his along side Chuck's. "I bet right now they have figured out that I'm not in my cell. Did you think a prison cell would hold me? Nothing can hold me or stop me."

"I wouldn't be too sure. We have knocked you down, um several times and you seem to not get the memo. You keep punching yourself by coming back for more." This irritated Shaw. Shaw turned to face Chuck. As close as he could get. "I promise you this will be the last of you."

Before Shaw left, he came back and threw a hard punch against Chuck's left cheek drawing blood. I guess it made Shaw feel better as Chuck saw a faint snarly smile come across his face as he left shaking his hand. "I hope it hurt." As he spit some blood onto the floor. As Shaw slammed the door, Chuck tried to flash, but nothing came, nothing to celebrate not even a glitch. He just hoped that the necklace wasn't damaged. Hours went by which played with his mind and how long he'd actually been gone, he was taken around 10:30 Sunday but that seemed like ages ago. And he probably was right, it was longer than that. The door opened again, and a lone male entered and tried not to make eye contact. He brought a tray of food and as he walked by Chuck, Chuck got a glimpse of the hand nearest to him and a small flash gave him some hope as a shot of a file was triggered by the tattoo on his wrist. Chuck knew that he just needed to calm down and let the intersect work for him. Like Shaw had said his emotions do get in the way but Chuck had everything, even back then. He had Sarah even though they weren't together she was still there, it was Shaw that had put that thought in his head and knew when to use it. Yes, his emotions were triggers but some how Shaw was able to use that line to get inside his head. And Chuck let him. Chuck looked at the tray and as the man was about to leave. "And how do you expect me to eat, if I can't use my hands?"

The small man turned and untied one set of ropes allowing Chuck to have one hand free. Chuck flinched which made the man step back. The man turned the table and moved it closer to Chuck. Chuck lifted his right arm then looked at his food. Staring at the food, he wondered if it was safe to eat. This was Shaw after all, but would Shaw use food to get his message across? Eating what he could the bottle of water and the can of pop helped wash it down. Chuck finished what he could as he heard the door open. He quickly tore the cap of the can. He wanted to take the knife but that would be too easy to see that it was gone. He slid the cap into his jeans just in time. "Get out." The small man left with the tray as Shaw took a quick glance at the tray.

"I would prefer a glass of Chardonnay to go with that fantastic sandwich. But beggars can't be choosers." Chuck then saw the two burly men enter. One look Chuck could feel a flash coming but he lowered his head and blinked very quickly. He had practiced this as a way to use this gift and not let the world of bad guys know that he still had the intersect, or some version of it. And since Shaw and his last fight, was when he switched Shaw's upgrade, he knew that he didn't have it. Shaw motioned for the two men to drag Chuck out. They headed down a long hallway and outside where the sun burned his eyes due to the brightness. Tossing him into the back of a large truck Chuck took another look just before the door was closed. Desert, sun was facing north, and the licence plates still read California. Chuck pulled himself up on the bench as he was shackled once more.

Shaw stood outside. "Sit back and enjoy the ride, this time you won't see the light of day."

It was almost word for word the same speech he gave the team years ago when he threw them inside the armour car. Chuck looked up. "So, what's your plan now Shaw the last time… let me think…things went BOOM! So far all I have seen has been a poor repeat, a copy cat episode of Déjà vu I been through this with you…."

Just the words left Chuck feeling pretty good but made Shaw come right back. "In due time Chuck, in due time." Shaw slammed the door and the truck started up. Chuck kept note of what he could see, and the desert landscape quickly disappeared which made him think that they were heading east maybe Arizona.

Bartowski residence

Sarah stormed in as Casey followed. Emma knew that things didn't go well the way Sarah stormed in. Sarah stopped and apologized. Looking for Charlie. "She's sleeping." As she picked up on her daughter's fears. "Sorry we're late, we had to make sure that what we found was legit."

"Did you find something?" Sarah looked at her mom. "We know who took Chuck, but we don't know why?"

Sarah walked off as it was too much for her. Slipping out of sight. Casey turned to face Emma. "It's Shaw." Sarah's mom had heard some stories about this man and what he had done to Sarah and Chuck and it scared her but the thought of this man coming back for more this time scared her even more now that they had Charlie.

A FEW DAYS LATER

"I'm worried about Sarah. You remember the last time Chuck went missing. She was this close." Morgan bringing his fingers together.

"She's in a tough spot." Casey looks at Morgan. "She'll come around. Hopefully sooner than later."

Meanwhile Sarah sat in their basement looking at the envelope and going over old cases and looking at people who had it in for Chuck or the team. But she focussed on Shaw. Sarah sat back to think like Chuck. What would Chuck do and how did he find her in Paris? Sarah went back to some of the old files and remembered a conversation she had with Shaw when he forced her to fly the plane when Chuck was on his first solo mission, and when he asked her where she went? Sarah noticed the shirt he was wearing. He wouldn't take Chuck back to Paris, would he? Sarah typed in his file as it came up, the name Annapolis caught her eyes. Annapolis was not only the place where he went to school and trained but also where he met Evelyn. 'If he took me to Paris to get back at me for shooting his wife maybe he took Chuck to Annapolis as a cruel sadistic way, this time to get back at Chuck for ruining his chance of getting rid of me?' But as Sarah wondered the 'why' Sarah dug deeper into his file. 'He came Annapolis to DC then to LA. Trained there, met his wife, married.' Sarah switched to see if there was a wedding announcement of their wedding and sure enough Sarah found their wedding announcement at St. Mary's Church. April 5, 2000.

Sarah continues to go dark. But is thankful that her mom and Chuck's mom were there.

Sarah slips upstairs to feed Charlie every two hours but then heads back downstairs.

The next night she spent a little more time with Charlie. She looked at Charlie as she cooed and smiled at her mom. She was starting to look more and more like her dad. Putting Charlie in her crib and stroking her cheek for the last time she headed back downstairs and opened up one of the wardrobes that housed their mission wear that she had set aside years ago. She pulls out her black boots and her leather jacket. Grabs her mission bags and fills it full of whatever she could get into it, then grabbed her silver briefcase case. Opening it and looking at the items brought back good memories of previous missions. Sarah adds some new cash, ear pieces and other items she might need and her belt of assorted knives. Heading upstairs she drops her gear and slips into her room and packs another bag. Making sure to have a fresh change of clothes for Chuck. Sarah slips into a pair of dark blue jeans and a white tank top and her boots. Slips her hair out of her pony tail and picks up the phone. Then she catches her hand and he wedding ring. Walking over to the dresser, she grabs Chuck ring and takes hers off and slips them onto a necklace and put them around her neck. Walking to the door Sarah grabs her favourite photo off their mirror. She had to laugh cause Chuck added to it a picture of Charlie. Slipping it into her back pocket. She walks to Charlie's room and takes one last look at her then hugs her mom. Her mom doesn't let go and holds her a little longer. "I know you need to do this. But remember you two have a daughter and she is a part of you and Chuck. Bring him home." Emma kissed her daughter's cheek and hugged her tight once more. Sarah took one last look inside her daughter's room as she closed the door. Walking down the hall Casey was standing by the front door. He didn't like the old Sarah, but she couldn't blame her not this time. And if it was Shaw, she had every right.

Casey loaded his car and they headed to the airport. Beckman had arranged the flight, Casey just drove cause no conversation would change her focus.
