Chapter 2 – Another message from N
"So… this person who texted you. Did she send another text?" Sarah asked Chuck as the private plane sent by the CIA started to take off.
"Er, no. But I replied to her, and I even called her. But the line's off" Chuck answered. He can see below the famous LA lights, and he's thinking what's going on in Devon's party. He went to Devon's house before they left, but Ellie answered and she said that Devon's asleep. Chuck is sure that Devon is just there and still mad at him.
Suddenly, Chuck's phone vibrates. When he looked at the screen, it's another text from this woman called Nikita.
Don't call me here or even reply. It's too dangerous. Don't tell your friends that I texted you again. Trust me. I'm watching you.
-Nikita
Chuck's face poured with sweat. He can feel his heartbeat beating really fast. He's not sure if he's gonna trust this woman he haven't met yet. But there's something about the message that made Chuck feel… safe. For years of doing spy missions with the gang, he never felt this safe in a mission.
"Chuck, are you ok?" Sarah reached out for his hand. "You're so sweaty and you're face is red"
"Um-uh-ye-yeah. I'm fine." What the heck Chuck! He thought. Why not just tell it to Sarah? "It's just.. I've been thinking about Devon's party. You know? I hate disappointing someone" Chuck tried to force a smile.
"Don't worry Bartowski. Disappointing someone is not your problem. You always do that to us!" Casey grunted annoyingly.
"i-I'll just go to the washroom. Need to freshen' up." Chuck stood up and went to the lavatory at the back of the plane.
As he was about to open the door of the lavatory, a tall Chinese-looking female flight attendant interrupted him by offering him Coke in can.
"Soda, sir? You look a little flustered" She offered
"Uhm, yeah. Just bring it to my chair. Thanks." Chuck smiled and entered the small lavatory. The flight attendant went to Chuck's seat, flipped open the small square cardboard as a table beside the chair, and put the soda.
When Chuck went out, he saw Casey and Sarah asleep. Nikita's text still bothered him. He went back to his chair, and propped open the soda. As he was drinking, he noticed a piece of paper glued below the can. He took it out and read the message.
"Oh my god." The message astonished him and caught him off guard. He stood up and looked at the back for the flight attendant who gave him the soda. She's standing by the lavatory door while drinking Sprite. This hot woman is giving her a very mysterious smile, and then gave her a wink. She then went further back to the flight attendant's room.
Chuck, hysterically, followed her.
Do not trust Sarah Walker.
